The use of a blue wash adds depth and dimension to the drawing, enhancing its overall beauty. The high cross itself stands tall as a landmark and civic monument, representing medieval England's rich history. Its Gothic architecture exudes an air of grandeur that transports viewers back in time. Stourhead Gardens provides a picturesque backdrop for this magnificent structure, with lush greenery surrounding it.
