Frederick Landseer Maur Griggs (1876–1938) was an English etcher, draughtsman, and architect, renowned for his meticulous and evocative depictions of the English countryside and its architectural heritage. One of his notable works is "Ashwell Church," an etching that exemplifies his skill in capturing the intricate details and atmospheric essence of historic structures.

"Ashwell Church" is a testament to Griggs' profound appreciation for medieval architecture and his ability to render it with both technical precision and artistic sensitivity. The etching portrays the Church of St. Mary the Virgin in Ashwell, Hertfordshire, a building celebrated for its Perpendicular Gothic style and its prominent spire, which is one of the tallest in Hertfordshire. Griggs' depiction of the church is characterized by its fine lines and careful shading, which bring out the texture of the stonework and the play of light and shadow on the building's surfaces.

Griggs' work is often noted for its romantic and nostalgic qualities, reflecting his desire to preserve the beauty and spirit of England's architectural past. In "Ashwell Church," this is evident in the way he captures not just the physical structure of the church, but also its setting within the landscape, often including elements such as trees, pathways, and surrounding buildings that situate the church within its broader historical and geographical context.

The etching is part of a larger body of work by Griggs that includes numerous other depictions of English churches, cottages, and rural scenes. His works are highly regarded for their artistic merit and their contribution to the preservation of England's cultural heritage. Griggs was a member of the Royal Academy and the Society of Graphic Art, and his works are held in various public and private collections, continuing to be appreciated for their beauty and historical significance.
