This book was released on 2016-11-28 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the author started building a model of Liverpool Cathedral in 1994 he had to research its history and architecture. Of all the published information one book stands out as by far the most useful. It is Vere E. Cotton's work The Book of Liverpool Cathedral, published by Liverpool University Press in 1964 on behalf of the Cathedral Committee, but at the time the book was written construction of the Nave had only just begun and needed supplementing with photographs. Because the project made the author look at the Cathedral from a viewpoint other than at its architecture he discovered the secret purpose of, and the motivation behind, the radical redesign of 1910. In his book Cotton virtually admits that he was mystified at some aspects of the building. Strangely, it also contained the clues which helped the author resolve the mystery although Cotton seemed not to have been aware of them. So this work is the sequel to The Book of Liverpool Cathedral, as it reveals the architect's secret and explains how and why the present design evolved, which Cotton was unable to do.

Book excerpt: The building of a card model of Liverpool Cathedral needed a lot of research, and the Vere E. Cotton's work The Book of Liverpool Cathedral was the most helpful of all the sourcees of information. Written by a long-serving member of the Cathedral Building Committee it was a treasure trove of early photographs and drawings. The reason for the drastic alteration of the building from the competition-winning three tower building to one with a single tower in 1910 was never explained by the architect, and for 84 years people have looked at the architecture trying to solve the mystery without success. Because the project made the author look at the cathedral from a viewpoint other than at its architecture, which nobody appears to have done before, he discovered the secret purpose of, and the motivation behind, the radical redesign of 1910. In his book, Cotton virtually admits that he was mystified at some aspects of the building. Strangely, it also contains the clues which helped resolve the mystery. So this work is the sequel to The Book of Liverpool Cathedral as it exposes the architect's secret and explains how and why the present design evolved.

Filled with hundreds of facts and anecdotes, it reveals the amusing, unlikely and downright wonderful stories hidden beneath the surface. Some, such as the fact that the founder of Oxford was eaten by wolves, will be known; many others, such as the fact that Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, stole a piece of New College’s unicorn horn, that one of the Fellows of Christ Church was a bear or that Oxford Castle has England’s most frequently sighted ghost, are much less widely known – and some of these stories have not appeared in print for hundreds of years.

Download or read book The History of England s Cathedrals written by Nicholas Orme and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2024-01-23 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first history of all the English cathedrals, from Birmingham and Bury St Edmunds to Worcester and York Minster England’s sixty-two Anglican and Catholic cathedrals are some of our most iconic buildings, attracting millions of worshippers and visitors every year. Yet although much has been written about their architecture, there is no complete history of their life and activities. This is the first such book to provide one, stretching from Roman times to the present day. The History of England’s Cathedrals explains where and why they were founded, who staffed them, and how their structures evolved. It describes their worship and how this changed over the centuries, their schools and libraries, and their links with the outside world. The history of these astonishing buildings is the history of England. Reading this book will bring you face to face with the Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Normans, Reformation, Civil War, Victorian England, World War Two, and finally modern democracy.
Download or read book A History of the Church through its Buildings written by Allan Doig and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The History of the Church through its Buildings takes the reader to meet people who lived through momentous religious changes in the very spaces where the story of the Church took shape. Buildings are about people, the people who conceived, designed, financed, and used them. Their stories become embedded in the very fabric itself, and as the fabric is changed through time in response to changing use, relationships, and beliefs, the architecture becomes the standing history of passing waves of humanity. This process takes on special significance in churches, where the arrangement of the space places members of the community in relationship with one another for the performance of the church's rites and ceremonies. Moreover, architectural forms and building materials can be used to establish relationships with other buildings in other places and other times. Coordinated systems of signs, symbols, and images proclaim beliefs and doctrine, and in a wider sense carry extended narratives of the people and their faith. Looking at the history of the church through its buildings allows us to establish a tangible connection to the lives of the people involved in some of the key moments and movements that shaped that history, and perhaps even a degree of intimacy with them. Standing in the same place where the worshippers of the past preached and taught, or in a space they built as a memorial, touching the stone they placed, or marking their final resting-place, holding a keepsake they treasured or seeing a relic they venerated, probably comes as close to a shared experience with these people as it is possible to come. Perhaps for a fleeting moment at such times their faces may come more clearly into focus...

Download or read book The Secret History of the Jesuits written by Edmond Paris and published by Chick Publications. This book was released on 2011 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Secrets the Jesuits don't want Christians to know Out of Europe, a voice is heard from the secular world that documents historically the same information told by ex-priests. The author exposes the Vatican's involvement in world politics, intrigues, and the fomenting of wars throughout history. It appears, beyond any doubt, that the Roman Catholic institution is not a Christian church and never was. The poor Roman Catholic people have been betrayed by her and are facing spiritual disaster. Paris shows that Rome is responsible for the two great world wars. Author Edmond Paris explains why he wrote this book... "The public is practically unaware of the overwhelming responsibility carried by the Vatican and its Jesuits in the start of the two world wars -- a situation which may be explained in part by the gigantic finances at the disposition of the Vatican and its Jesuits, giving them power in so many spheres, especially since the last conflict." "In fact, the part they took in those tragic events has hardly been mentioned until the present time, except by apologists eager to disguise it. It is with the aim of rectifying this and establishing the true facts that we present in this and other books the political activity of the Vatican during the contemporary -- activity which mutually concerns the Jesuits." "This study is based on irrefutable archive documents, publications from well-known political personalities, diplomats, ambassadors and eminent writers, most of whom are Catholics, even attested by the imprimatur."
