This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cathedrals of England and Wales This new, or at least freshened, knowledge has undoubtedly added much to the interest with which all ecclesiological students regard this most graceful Of English cathedrals. Nor is it a knowledge Of the fabric alone, Of its architectural character and change, that has increased during the progress Of these works. Modern science and modern scholar ship have advanced with gigantic strides, and such a connection has been established between their various branches as has thrown new light in all directions where it was scarcely to be hoped for, and from quarters whence it was scarcely expected. Of course there are those who tell us that the whole Of Lich field Cathedral has been too completely rejuvenated, and that it has lost the venerable rust which carried us back to the days of the great mediaeval architects. But in truth the aerugo was Of no real high antiquity. It is the roman-cement and compo', the whitewash the lath and plaster, and the carpenter's Gothic woodwork of the later Georgian epoch which have been removed; and we can now recognise, far more distinctly than before was possible, the grace and beauty of the original work.

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.

This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cathedral Churches of England and Wales, Vol. 8: Descriptive, Historical, Pictorial The chief architectural distinctions will be presently noticed. There is, how ever, another which should not be entirely forgotten - the distinction of site. The French cathedrals, as a rule, stand in the heart of the towns; they are hemmed in with houses, which in many cases actually rested against, and were encrusted upon their walls, an encroachment which seems to have been per mitted from a very early period. Thus, as it has been often remarked, not withstanding all that has been done of late years to clear away these encumbrances, it is extremely difficult to Obtain any good general view of the exterior, and it is only when at a distance from the town we see the huge mass of sculptured stone rising high above the subordinated roofs that we can fully appreciate its grand preportions and its vast dimensions. English cathedrals, on the contrary, are generally surrounded by ample Open Spaces; this may be in part due to the fact that they were almost invariably connected with some great monastery, that they were not only the mother churches of a diocese, but also what we might call college chapels, as is still the case with the Cathedral of Christ Church at Oxford. This connection appears much more rare in France except it be for an episcopa palace, one treads, on quitting the door of a French cathedral, upon the pavements of the streets, and passes abruptly from the peace within to the turmoil of the city. In this there may be a gain as well as a loss; perhaps we may have in it some ground for the mutual insulation, once very marked, of the cathedral and the townsfolk. But whether or not because they so commonly were incorporated into the spacious precincts of an important monastic foundation, the fact remains that the English cathedrals stand in spaces far more open than is usual in France, and frequently occupy sites remarkably beautiful. The differences also in plan are considerable; these are less conspicuous in the older cathedrals, though even there a distinction may often be noticed. In those of Norman date in England the dominant ground - plan is almost always a Latin cross with well-developed arms. There is no trace whatever of the basilica type, though possibly this may once have been visible in the churches of earlier date in this country, as it is certainly more permanently impressed on those of France. But when we come to the cathedrals built in the Pointed styles, the difference is even more persistently marked. Contrast, for example, the ground plans of the Cathedrals of Paris, Amiens, Rheims, or Chartres with English buildings. All of these, even the last, cover spaces of ground large in proportion to their length; their area being in the case of Notre Dame (the smallest), feet, and of Amiens (the largest), feet. Salisbury, which is rather longer than Notre Dame, covers less ground by full feet; and York, which is quite fifty feet longer than Amiens, and is one of the most spacious of our cathedrals, occupies an area but slightly greater.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cathedrals of England and Wales, Vol. 2 of 2: 120 Photographs, With Short Notes; Southern Section St. Albans - This cathedral was built by the Normans, with Roman tiles originally in the walls of Verulamium. The nave is in three styles, viz., Norman, Early English, and Decorated, and on some of the Norman work there are paintings of probably the same date. In the triforium of the south transept may be seen some Saxon balusters taken from the second church on the site. The reredos is fine, resembling the one at Winchester. Chichester. - Oi late years the building has been much restored, but contains some good Norman work which exhibits much of the cable moulding. The nave, like Manchester, has five aisles formed by the addition of side chapels. The Bell Tower or Campanile is the only instance in England of the tower being separated from the cathedral.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cathedrals of the United Kingdom: Their History, Architecture, Monuments, and Traditions With Short Notes of the Chief Objects of Interest in Each Cathedral City and a Popular Introduction to Church Architecture In deference to the kind and judicious suggestions of the friendly reviewers of the last Edition, some improvements and considerable additions have been made, a general introduction with a glossary of terms has been prefixed, and an uniform arrangement adopted in the present issue, which has been carefully revised in every page. The present volume has been enlarged with a description of the Cathedrals of Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man; an addition which, we hope, will prove acceptable to the reader, as it renders the book complete, and contains information hitherto not readily accessible. Illustrations were intended to be given; but, on consideration, it appeared that the views would necessarily be so numerous that the cost of the book would utterly defeat the design of making it a volume within reach of ordinary purses.
