Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Architectural History of Canterbury Cathedral The translation of Gervase, which it is the principal object of the following history to illustrate, was read by me with a few necessary omissions at the evening meeting of the Architectural Section of the British Archæological Association, on the 11th of September 1844, and on the following morning I had the honor of explaining to a numerous audience in the cathedral itself, the application of this translation to the building, and also of pointing out those later parts of which the history has been recorded, and which arc the subject of the concluding chapters. The work may therefore be considered as forming part of the Transactions of the Association in question, although it is obviously too bulky and independent for insertion in the Journal, which is the recognised organ of that body. In preparing it for the press, however, I have made many additions to it, including especially the entire history of the Saxon cathedral; and on a subsequent visit, with the able assistance of Mr. De la Motte, the drawings were made which illustrate its pages. These, however, have no pretensions to form a complete delineation of the building, architecturally speaking, which would plainly have required larger paper and a different material.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1981 The Architectural History of Canterbury Cathedral traces the entire architectural history of the church from Anglo-Saxon times to the present day. Every major epoch of English architecture is represented, from the Norman Conquest to the splendours of the Tudor age. One of the main concerns has been a reconstruction of the two Norman phases – Lanfranc’s cathedral from 1070 and the great choir of St Anselm begun in 1096. Dr Woodman puts forward new and provocative ideas about the architecture of William of Sens and his original proposals for the new Gothic choir and Trinity Chapel. The Perpendicular phases are detailed for the first time, including an important reattribution and redating of the splendid pulpitum. It analyses for the first time the precise areas of building completed by individual master masons, and he discusses details revealed by archaeological excavations and restoration work that are no longer visible. This stimulating study is a must read for scholars and researchers of British architecture, architectural history and architecture in general.

Book excerpt: Belief in the Heavenly nature of geometrical forms has existed since prehistoric times, but only now, in these pages, can we see and understand how this belief inspired the design of a great religious building. Without mathematical complexities, but in simple language and with many clarifying illustrations, the author demonstrates the geometrical constructions that the great architects of Canterbury Cathedral devised to bring the geometry of their building into harmony with that of the Universe, and with the geometries of their predecessors. The secret but simple means that they must have used to transfer plans to scale from parchment to building site is also brought to light, as is the geometry and remarkable history of the Cathedral's superb "marble pavement: .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From the time of the foundation of its cathedral in 597, Canterbury has been the epicentre of Britain's ecclesiastical history, and an exceptionally important centre for architectural and visual innovation. Focusing especially but not exclusively on Christ Church cathedral, this legacy is explored in seventeen essays concerned with Canterbury's art, architecture and archaeology between the early Anglo-Saxon period and the close of the middle ages. Papers consider the relationship between between architectural setting and liturgical practice, and between stationary and movable fittings, while fresh insights are offered into the aesthetic, spiritual, and pragmatic considerations that shaped the fabric of Christ Church and St Augustine's abbey, alongside critical reflections on Canterbury's historiography and relationship to the wider world. Taken together, these studies demonstrate the richness of the surviving material, and its enduring ability to raise new questions.
