About the Item
Magdalen Chapel near Winchester – Antique Engraving of Medieval Hospital Site, 1790
This detailed antique engraving presents a series of architectural views and plans of the Magdalen Chapel near Winchester, part of the historic Hospital of St Mary Magdalene. Founded in 1148 for the Master, Brethren, and Sisters of the hospital, the chapel and its associated buildings stood for centuries before being demolished in 1772. The plate provides an invaluable visual record of a vanished medieval institution.
The composition is divided into multiple sections: the upper register includes depictions of wall paintings, interior elevations, and precise floor plans, while the lower register features the richly carved Norman doorway, the exterior view of the chapel, and a cross-section of the timber-framed roof. The detail conveys both the Romanesque architectural features and the later medieval additions, capturing the building’s long and layered history.
Engraved by James Basire (1730–1802), a master of architectural and antiquarian engraving, after drawings by Jacob Schnebbelie (1760–1792), the image was produced for the Society of Antiquaries in the late 18th century. Schnebbelie’s meticulous draughtsmanship and Basire’s precise linework combine to create a historically rich and visually engaging plate, documenting a structure that no longer exists.
For collectors, this engraving offers a rare opportunity to acquire a faithful record of a medieval English hospital complex, significant for both its social history and architectural heritage.
Condition: Very good impression with general age-related toning with some spots across the paper. Plate mark clearly visible, strong paper with full margins.
Framing tips: A deep walnut or black frame with an off-white archival mat would highlight the fine architectural detail while preserving the print’s period character.

An antique line engraving by J. Basire after J. Schnebbelie, published in 1790. The Magdalen Chapel is located in the Cowgate in Edinburgh. The Chapel was built between 1541 and 1544 by Janet Rynd, widow of Michael MacQueen (died 1537), who had left money for this purpose. The building was to be the new chapel for the Incorporation of Hammermen and was to include accommodation for a chaplain and also an almshouse for seven Bedesmen (poor men) ‘who should continually pour forth prayers to Almighty God’.
