Mmhh, not bad, but your arguments are a trifle thin.
Some thoughts:
1. Add a reason for the use of old parchment. Much better would be an actual example.
2. The image comparisons are nice but that's easy to do. More examples would be good
3. Gallows characters as offset markers is a really nice idea - because then there would be no reason for a double Gallows, and there are very few instances of a double Gallows , 2 iirc.
4. I don't think the glyph stats compare well to a polyalphabetic cipher of this type, letter counts, positional rigidity etc
5. Add a demonstration of how the proposed encryption and decryption would work, for clarity.
