Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Alban's Cathedral and Abbey Church: A Guide It is several years since a New Edition of the Guide to the Abbey Church compiled by the late Dr. Nicholson has been issued. In the meantime very extensive alterations have taken place in the building, and much of the Guide has consequently become obsolete. Under these circumstances it has been thought desirable to re-write those portions of the work which comprised the guide to the architectural features of the Abbey, and this task I have entrusted to Mr. William Page, F.S.A. Mr. Page has now with great care accomplished this; the historical extracts compiled by Dr. Nicholson being, with few unimportant corrections, just as Dr. Nicholson left them. It must not be forgotten that there still remains in the Abbey Church an immense store of historical, archaeological and architectural information, which is of the utmost value to the student, and of great interest to the intelligent visitor, whom this Guide is specially designed to assist. The thorough structural repair which the building has undergone (chiefly, as is well known, at the cost of Lord Grimthorpe), will, it is to be hoped, preserve the Abbey Church, now the ecclesiastical centre of the Diocese of St. Albans, for centuries to come.

Download or read book Leper Knights written by David Marcombe and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2003 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most unusual contributions to the crusading era was the idea of the leper knight - a response to the scourge of leprosy and the shortage of fighting men which beset the Latin kingdom in the twelfth century. The Order of St Lazarus, which saw the idea become a reality, founded establishments across Western Europe to provide essential support for its hospitaller and military vocations. This book explores the important contribution of the English branch of the order, which by 1300 managed a considerable estate from its chief preceptory at Burton Lazars in Leicestershire. Time proved the English Lazarites to be both tough and tenacious, if not always preoccupied with the care of lepers. Following the fall of Acre in 1291 they endured a period of bitter internal conflict, only to emerge reformed and reinvigorated in the fifteenth century. Though these late medieval knights were very different from their twelfth-century predecessors, some ideologies lingered on, though subtly readapted to the requirements of a new age, until the order was finally suppressed by Henry VIII in 1544. The modern refoundation of the order, a charitable institution, dates from 1962. The book uses both documentary and archaeological evidence to provide the first ever account of this little-understood crusading order.DAVID MARCOMBE is Director of the Centre for Local History, University of Nottingham.
Download or read book Historic Floors written by Jane Fawcett and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2007-06-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book in the UK to be devoted to historic floors. It introduces an important and largely neglected subject and considers conservation methods in a European context. It traces the history of some of the great floors of Europe from the fourth century B.C. and outlines the development of mosaic, tiles, marble and parquetry floors in secular buildings. The early Christian pavements in basilicas, temples and cathedrals, the creation of medieval tiles, ledger stones and monumental brasses, their destruction by iconoclasts and re-creation during the Gothic Revival, are also discussed. Leading authorities, archaeologists, architects and archivists consider the latest methods of recording and repairing cathedral floors, including those of cathedrals, country houses, the monumental tiled pavements of the Palace of Westminster and other public buildings. Management policies to protect outstanding floors in over-visited sites are considered and historic features particularly at risk, are identified. Urgent action is recommended to contain the damage caused by the dramatic increase in tourism throughout Europe.
