What reading level is Wanderings of An Antiquary; Chiefly Upon the Traces of the Romans in Britain book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The church of Groodmanham is supposed to occupy the site of the temple — and we can easily imagine the erection of a Christian church on such a spot. The present Ijiiilding is an early Norman structure of some architectural interest.
The arch between the chancel and the choir is flattened at the top, as though it had given way after H was built j and the pilasters which support it lean slightly outwards.
Several instances of such arches of the Norman period have been observed in different parts... of the country, and, as I believe all the stones of the arch seem never to have formed part of a semicircle, it remains yet to be ascertained whether the form they now have was the result of design or accident. The capitals which support the arch are of a design which is not usual — one of them is given in the ac- companjdng cut. In one comer of the church is a very rudely-^rmed early Norman font, which the sanguine antiquary, Dr. Stukeley, believed to be the identical font in which king Edwin was baptised, forgetting that that ceremony was performed, not at Goodmanham, but in York.
