Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Architectural History of York Cathedral The following history is drawn up upon the same general system as that which I have already adopted in the cases of Canterbury and Winchester, which I have had the honour of publishing under the auspices of the Archaeological Institute. In the first place I have collected together the chronicled history of the building, retaining the very words of the original whenever the building itself was the immediate subject of the paragraph in question. I have, in the next place, closely examined the structure itself, analyzing its various arrangements as they arose from time to time, and comparing them with the previous chronicle. Much however of the history of this cathedral is necessarily derived from fabric rolls, indulgences, and other chapter documents which do not admit of being completely separated as the passages of a written chronicle do, and therefore I have been compelled to scatter these memoranda throughout my analysis of the structural changes. Nevertheless I have always taken the greatest pains to separate my own hypotheses and explanations of these documents from the documents themselves, in opposition to the general practice of writers of architectural history, which is, that after having satisfied themselves of the meaning and application of the chronicles and other documents to the various parts and periods of a building, they proceed to interweave these documents into their histories in such a manner as to make it exceedingly difficult to discover other possible explanations.

Book excerpt: For a period of almost five hundred years York Minster resembled a building site as different parts were added and altered before it finally became the building we see today. This detailed study of the construction and development of the minster draws on architectural recording carried out on the building by the RCHME and English Heritage since the early 1970s, as well as more recent discoveries and research, particularly on the stained glass windows. Each major building phase is discussed in turn: the construction of the transept, the Chapter House, the nave, Lady Chapel, western choir and central tower. The historical background to these phases reveals some of the financial, political and religious events that hampered and/or motivated the building phases and this, and issues of imagery and patronage, are all discussed.

Book excerpt: York Minster is one of England's greatest Gothic Buildings and the repository for the largest single collection of medieval stained glass in Britain, most of which remains in situ. This cathedral of the northern province, which every year attracts thousands of pilgrims and visitors, was built over a period of more than 300 years.This book charts the construction of the Minster as we see it today and traces its development, which was by no means smooth and uninterrupted. Progress was checked by financial constraint, Scottish wars, the effects of plague, political upheaval, structural crisis, local rebellion and sometimes the indifference of the archbishop and Minister clergy. For many years at a time the liturgy for the Minster was performed against a backdrop of scaffolding and half-built masonry.The analysis of the Minster in this book is based on the architectural recording of the building begun in the early 1970s by the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England, which subsequently merged with English Heritage. The book not only provides an invaluable summary of the state of our understanding of the building, but also offers new insights into aspects of its complex story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cathedral Church of York: A Description of Its Fabric and a Brief History of the Archi-Episcopal See I have usually followed Professor Willis in his account of the Minster, and my obligations to his excellent works are general and continuous. Professor Willis made careful and extensive observations of the Crypt and other parts of the Minster during the restoration, which gave him opportunities for investigation now impossible. He also brought to these observations a learning and sagacity probably greater than those of any other writer on English Gothic Architecture, and his little book remains the standard work on the history of the Minster.
