Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Visit the English Cathedrals This little book is offered to the tourist in the most modest spirit and with the hope that in this convenient form some gleanings from the works of specialists may afford help and pleasure to those who run quickly through the Cathedral towns of England. The subject has been done so often and so well that an additional book would demand an apology if it pretended to compete with the labours of those who have spent long years in the study of special cathedrals, or with the charming recollections of travel that others have given the world from time to time. My plan has been merely to present in a single volume concise descriptions of the great ecclesiastical buildings of England, together with the story of their construction and historical associations supplemented with criticisms from the best authorities of their most striking architectural and artistic features. These authorities are duly acknowledged by initials. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Not only is there built into a mediæval cathedral the accumulated thought of all the men who had occupied themselves with building during the preceding centuries, but you have the dream and aspiration of the bishop, abbot, or clergy for whom it was designed; the master mason's skilled construction; the work of the carver, the painter, the glazier, the host of men who, each in his own craft, knew all that had been done before them, and had spent their lives in struggling to surpass the works of their forefathers. It is more than this: there is not one shaft, one moulding, one carving, not one chiselmark in such a building, that was not designed specially for the place where it is found, and which was not the best that the experience of the age could invent for the purpose to which it is applied; nothing was borrowed; and nothing that was designed for one purpose was used for another. A thought or a motive peeps out through every joint; you may wander in such a building for weeks or for months together, and never know it all."

Download or read book The Cathedrals of Great Britain written by P. H. Ditchfield and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cathedrals of Great Britain: Their History and Architecture In this volume I have attempted to give an architectural description of all the cathedral churches of England, Wales, and Scotland, together with a brief history of each see. In order to include any adequate account of each church and bishopric in one volume of portable size, which may be of use to visitors in their travels, much compression has been necessary, but it is hoped that nothing of importance has been omitted which might be useful to those who would read aright the architectural history of our great churches. On account of their immense importance in the history of Gothic art, it has been thought well to include in this volume some account of the churches of Westminster and Beverley. At the close of each history of a cathedral will be found a record of the principal building dates and dimensions, and also a brief account of the chief places and churches of interest in the city or neighbourhood which it is advisable to visit. I desire to express my grateful thanks to all who have kindly assisted in the preparation of this work, to the deans and canons-in-residence who have often guided me by their counsel during my study of their cathedrals, and also to the vergers who have readily afforded me much valuable help. More especially do I wish to thank the Deans of Lincoln, Ely, Chester and Gloucester, Canon Tristram of Durham, Bishop Anson of Lichfield, and Archdeacon Richardson of Southwell, for their courtesy and kindly interest. I have also to record my obligations to the work of many previous writers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book An Itinerary of the English Cathedrals for the Use of Travellers Classic Reprint written by James Grant Gilchrist and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Itinerary of the English Cathedrals for the Use of Travellers I have preserved Dr. Gilchrist's order, beginning with Liver pool, where the American tourist lands, but as the Itinerary brings the reader back to Liverpool a complete circuit is formed, and it is obvious that the beginning and ending may with equal convenience be made at any part of it. This book is likely to be found useful, chiefly by those who, having but a limited time, wish to see either the whole number of cathedrals, or a group in any particular district. But it will also serve to show those desirous of making a more thorough study of certain features or architectural styles where they may best be found and then fuller information may be obtained from the monographs in the Cathedral Series. It is hoped that the Introductory Chapter will be found sufficient to give the tourist, who has not made a study of architecture, enough information to enable him to enjoy intelligently the buildings that he visits. The map and table of the chief dimensions of the English Cathedral Churches will also be found useful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cathedrals of England and Wales Of all our great ecclesiastical edifices there is none, with the exception of Westminster Abbey, that is more linked with the events Of English history than the cathedral of Canterbury. It is not merely that it is one of our chief works of art, and Of which we may be justly proud, but it has been the scene of important episodes, and it stands as a memorial of one of the most momentous of them in our annals. For many generations it was regarded as hallowed, and when we consider how opinions change, it might be possible for it to be regarded SO again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cathedrals of England and Wales: Being a Fourth Edition of English Cathedrals Illustrated The book has been re-illustrated in a much more comprehensive manner, only a few examples of detail being retained from the earlier editions. The exception of the ground plans, the illustrations are from photographs, the sources of which are given in the note of acknowledgment. The more important features of each cathedral are represented, and it is hoped that this will tend materially to elucidate and increase the interest of the text: neither the text, however, nor the illustrations are intended as a sub stitute for personal study of the cathedrals on the spot, which it is the purpose of the book to foster and facilitate.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous Cathedrals as Seen and Described by Great Writers The western limb of the cathedral is called the nave. The term choir is sometimes loosely applied to the whole Of the eastern limb. Strictly it applies just to that part of the church where the stalls are; and that part, as in St. Al ban's and Norwich, need not necessarily be in the eastern limb at all, but in the crossing and in the easternmost bays of the nave.

Download or read book The Cathedral Church of Wells written by Percy Dearmer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cathedral Church of Wells: A Description of Its Fabric and a Brief History of the Episcopal See History of the Cathedral Church of Wells, a little book which has since been a model for all works of the kind, and of which one can still say that no one can understand all that is contained in the word cathedral unless he has read it. Yet since that book was written much fresh material has been discovered, and the theories then held as to the building of the cathedral have been in great measure disproved. To Canon C. M. Church, in his Chapters in the Early History of Wells, and his papers read before the Somerset Society, we are indebted for most valuable statements of the new historical discoveries, and to his untiring kindness I am myself beholden to a greater extent than I can express. Wells so abounds in interesting detail, that the exigencies of space have 'made it necessary to curtail the last chapter, which contains the history of the diocese; a good deal of interesting matter has thus been cut from my original ms. Of this chapter, and many bishops have been dismissed more summarily than they deserve. The need of dealing properly with the cathedral itself must be my apology for the baldness of this last chapter as it now stands. Those who desire a further acquaintance with the history of the diocese cannot do better than consult Mr Hunt's Bath and Wells, in the excellent Diocesan Histories series of the Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge.
