These English Heritage art prints are a collection of artwork inspired by my visits to England. The places and items depicted are recognized as being of historic significance in the course of English history. They range from objects as simple as a phone booth to castle and palaces as well as Neolithic monuments. As a bit of an Anglophile as well as an armchair historian, the artwork here is quite special to me. If you’re looking for wall art with an English flavor, these scenes from historic England are a good fit. It is, after all, history that makes England, English.
If you’re looking for an eye-catching British print, there’s no question that this London Telephone Box print fits the bill. This particular piece of art is far and away my most popular for a simple reason. It connects with people. It connects with Anglophiles and others who love all things British. But what is more…
This London art print is a sure sign I’ve been dreaming of London. And after all it is definitely one of those cities that gets under your skin. Long before I set foot in London, I had fallen in love with the iconic sights there like “Big Ben” and those classic British Telephone boxes. Seeing…
London is a city filled with iconic architecture. It’s populated with buildings that are recognized around the world by people who have never seen them in person. There are maybe a handful of cities with such landmark architecture. I’m not sure what the most recognized architecture is, but I have little doubt that beautiful Gothic…
There’s no question in my mind that London has more than its share of iconic architecture. And the great dome of St Paul’s Cathedral is definitely among that pantheon. Whether you’ve been to London or just seen pictures, that dome is a stirring example of classic architecture. The sight of it rising against those great…
For someone from the states, this piece of classic London architecture seems impossibly old and by proxy of great importance. And yet this little shop on Portsmouth Street is primarily considered of interest only because of its literary connection to Charles Dickens. Dickens is of course the great English author of the 19th century. Predictably,…
Tower Bridge pictured here, is one of my favorite London landmarks is without a doubt. I love that the bridge is actually a Victorian piece of engineering dressed in the stone of Medieval England. When it was decided to build a new bridge, it was felt it should complement nearby Tower of London. The result…
On my last trip to London, I was walking along the Strand when I happened to spot a vintage double-decker bus in operation. It was one of the old AEC Routemasters and it was heading up the street! I love the really classic vintage feel of those old buses. Never mind the bright red color!…
On my last visit to London, I had a somewhat unique opportunity, at least for those of us who don’t call London home. On my first day there, the street that crosses Westminster Bridge by the Palace of Westminster was closed to vehicles. I had apparently just missed some sort of street race. I don’t…
The English village of St Albans in Hertfordshire has a long history going back to Roman times. In fact so far back that the village is named for a Christian martyred by there the Romans. In medieval times, the village was was an overnight stop on the coach route to London. Trains have shortened the…
This rambling old church pictured here is known to locals simply as The Abbey. Despite the moniker, St Albans Abbey is actually a cathedral of the Anglican church. It is known officially as The Cathedral & Abbey Church of Saint Alban. There’s a long religious history in St Albans going all the way back to…
This dramatic black and white print features Lanyon Quoit, a Neolithic dolmen in Cornwall. I’ve read that this ancient structure was likely a chamber tomb of some sort. Like many ancient sites, though, there’s no written record so nothing is entirely certain. Whatever the case there’s something in the air of places like this that…
On my last trip to the UK, one of my favorite experiences was drifting down the River Cam in Cambridge. Cambridge in general was a gorgeous city. Yet the side of Cambridge one sees from the river was by far my favorite. This is the side of Cambridge that locals refer to as The Backs….
There’s a Timeless London quality to gazing across the river at the great dome of St. Paul’s cathedral. It’s one of those iconic sights that surpasses the lives of people. You have likely seen iconic photos of St. Paul’s rising above the smoke and debris of World War II and it feels like an enduring…
I’ve been to Avebury circle, as seen in this print, twice. And I would happily go again and again. It’s truly a magical piece of British landscape. And historic to boot. We may never entirely understand the culture that produced the Neolithic monuments in Wiltshire and across Britain, but when you stand where they were…
There are some landmarks that truly are recognized around the world. And Big Ben is truly not only a piece of Iconic London but a world recognized clock tower. And yes, for the Anglophiles out there, I’m aware that Big Ben is the name of the bell. The thing is, most anyone looking for a…
This is one of the most famous churches in Britain, Westminster Abbey. This is a church whose history is literally intertwined with that of the British monarchy. Westminster Abbey has witnessed such historic events as the coronation of English kings and queens dating back to William The Conqueror in 1066. It’s also the final resting…
The streets of Cambridge, England, seemed to be one beautiful vignette after another. Round a corner or peek through a door and it seemed there was invariably some classic old architecture to see. If I hadn’t been preparing to bid farewell to England, I have no doubt I would have turned my afternoon in Cambridge…
Before visiting Glastonbury several years ago, I had never heard of Glastonbury Tor never mind the legends that swirl around this corner of the Somereset landscape. According to some, the ancient tor is none other than Avalon, the mystical island that features in the legends of King Arthur. And before the fields were drained for…
Truly a highlight of my day in Cambridge was ending the day punting on the Cam. It was awesome seeing what the locals refer to as The Backs – the portions of the various colleges in Cambridge that face the River. It’s actually worth remembering that water travel was once the easier route and even…
I was so intrigued by the streets of the little English Village of Lacock in Wiltshire. It was amazing how timeless this place was. It felt as if you’d turn a corner of the village in this print and find people dressed in medieval garb. It’s amazingly authentic because it is truly a classic English…
I’ve read that there are a number of Cotswolds villages like Lacock, in England. These were villages where the local industry died out and the village became stuck in time centuries ago. They could never afford to modernize – a good fortune for the tourist trade today. I have never read the full details of…
Sometimes it seems like I have an excessively long list of places I want to return to in that mythical time called someday. And after five trips to Britain, I just keep seeming to add to the list, never subtracting from it! On the positive, I guess that means I find something to appreciate about…
When I look back on my art prints from my travels in Britain, this English Gothic church in Glastonbury stands out to me as the epitome of those churches. It seems like most any English village you wander through has a church somewhat along these lines with a large Gothic bell tower reaching into the…
Can you imagine London without the dome of Saint Paul’s Cathedral rising over the skyline of the old city? Believe it or not, after the fire of 1666, Sir Christopher Wren’s plans for a dome over the new Saint Paul’s was an issue of some debate. In fact, for part of the construction, the dome…
Through archaeology, it seems we’re constantly getting a little closer to unraveling life in the Neolithic landscape that birthed wonders like Avebury Stone Circle. Yet one wonders if we will ever truly shed the mysteries that surround the ancient people who built them. What was it about this corner of Britain that made it so…
This London print is something of a rarity in my artwork. I love to include people in my scenes but rarely are they featured at this level. That’s something of a riddle as I have always loved people watching. Yet I have rarely ventured into candid street photography. I think it was in some part…
London is a cityscape filled with landmark architecture – buildings so iconic they are known the world over. And there’s no question that St Paul’s Cathedral is one of them. The landmark cathedral was built by architect Sir Christoper Wren after the great fire of 1666. There is something truly majestic and, yes, iconic, about…
I had less than 24 hours to enjoy the beautiful architecture for which the city of Bath is known. But that short time was more than enough to fall in love with this beautiful city and am certain I will return one day. Pictured here is the beautiful Abbey Church of Saint Peter and Saint…
Every trip should include unexpected moments, places or experiences we didn’t plan on seeing or doing. Variety is the spice of life as well as art. One of those unexpected places I saw on my last day in England was the Cambridge American Cemetery and War Memorial. I had honestly never heard of this cemetery,…
I would really love to return to Bath some day. Despite already being on my list of places to see, everything I had really heard about Bath revolved around the famous Roman Baths that gave the city its name. What I discovered is that Bath is much more than that. It’s a city full of…
