About this Text

The article “Notes on Birds in Medieval Church Architecture” by George Claridge Druce (1860-1948), a member of the Society of Antiquaries of London, was published in the Society’s monthly journal, The Antiquary, in 1914. Druce wrote extensively on Bestiary subjects; several of his articles are available in the Digital Text library.

While the scanned text is readable and searchable, the illustrations are of such low digital quality that no amount of enhancement can make them usable. They are included in this extract in any case.

The article was originally published in three issues of The Antiquary:

  • Part 1 in Volume 50, Issue 7 (July, 1914 / page 248-253)
  • Part 2 in Volume 50, Issue 8 (August, 1914 / page 298-301)
  • Part 3 in Volume 50, Issue 10 (October, 1914 / page 381-385)

This edition is an extract of only the Druce article; the full text of the three journal issues is available from the Internet Archive (see the Source link above).
