It is possible that this work belongs to the series of engravings of views of the cathedrals and abbey churches of England which Coney was commissioned to execute by Harding. They were to illustrate the new edition of Dugdale's Monasticon Anglicanum edited by Sir Henry Ellis. The series took him 14 years to complete.
