This book was released on 2016-09-08 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Cathedral of the Nineteenth Century It is not many years since the Lancet style enjoyed extensive popularity with the fabricators of cheap churches, on account of the unhappy reputation which it enjoyed of surviving more starvation than any other. It was emphatically the cheap style, and in the hands into which it fell it as often emphatically proved itself to be the nasty one. Cheap churches are still built, and it is well that they should be where funds are not abundant; but increase of ex perience has shown that ugliness need not be synony mous with economy, and that the First Pointed style properly handled enjoys no peculiar immunity from contingent expenses. Its advocates need no longer fear, nor its antagonists rely upon, the blunders and abortions of the years when Early English was the rage.

This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recent English Ecclesiastical Architecture In planning a modern church it is the business of the architect to discover the general lines which will produce the best possible building under given conditions. Oi these conditions, those of cost, of situation, and of material are in very few cases exactly alike. But, as our churches are built for a definite purpose, there are certain conditions of space and arrangement which should in no case be disregarded. The publications referred to have left little to be said upon these matters, yet it is obvious from what we see every day that the existence of a fairly well understood set of rules does not ensure our possessing a worthy architecture. To secure this, our architects must cultivate their imagination and their sense of proportion; above all, they must take pains. The most hopeless of our modern churches are not so often the work of inexperienced men as the routine productions of diocesan surveyors' ofiices.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Essay on the History of English Church Architecture Prior to the Separation of England From the Roman Obedience It is no matter of accident that churches were built in a certain form and in a certain style at a certain date. It is possible to give a reason for this, in every case, and to trace back the cause of any particular fashion of church building, step by step, to the origin of christian art, which is one with the origin of the christian Church.

Download or read book An Introduction to English Church Architecture from the Eleventh to the Sixteenth Century Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Francis Bond and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to English Church Architecture, From the Eleventh to the Sixteenth Century, Vol. 1 One specially novel feature should be mentioned. The treatment of the main constructional subjects is throughout analytical. But even if this treatment is fairly adequate, no student can arrive at the end of such chapters as those on vaulting. Abutments, window tracery, roofs, etc., without considerable mental strain. If he has read faithfully, and looked up his cross-references as he should have done, there may remain with him a bird's-eye view of the whole subject; but he is very far from grasp or mastery. What he ought to do is to read the chapter straightway a second and even a third time. This, however, cannot be expected of a jaded reader; he wants a change, not a second helping of fish, but an omelette or an entree. Such a change is now provided. The more important subjects, after being treated analytically, are then discussed over again, but in the concrete, rag, after 106 pages setting forth the science and art of vault construction, fifty-seven individual vaults are selected for study, and are dissected separately. If the reader will turn to these, he will find all the principles of construction which he has read about in the text set forth over again, but in such different fashion that he will hardly notice that the new dish is after all but a réchauffé. This application of the concrete method of study, aided by a c0pious apparatus of diagrams, has not been attempted before, and, it is believed, will be found really helpful. Nor will the readers for whom this book has been prepared be likely to complain that here and there it is a good deal more than a treatise on building construction. It is good for those who are to be introduced to medizeval church architecture to know not only how a church was built, but why it was built, who built it, who served in it, who worshipped in it, and what manner of worship was theirs - Ancient or Modern. Accordingly, much space has been devoted in the introductory chapters to matters of human interest, before plunging into stones and mortar.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gothic Architecture in England: An Analysis of the Origin and Development of English Church Architecture From the Norman Conquest to the Dissolution of the Monasteries To the architectural student it is hoped that the twenty-eight sheets of moldings will be found specially valuable. In the largest collection hitherto published, that by Mr Palev. The moldings are very minute and crowded together, nor are they to the same scale: yet it makes all the difference whether, for instance, a capital and arch come from a piscina or a pier arcade: several species of moldings are omitted altogether, rag. Those of vaulting ribs, basement courses. Door ways and windows and of those which are illustrated the locality from which they come is in many cases not indicated.

This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Ecclesiastical Architecture in England It is impossible to write on such subjects Without a moral tone, though direct moralizing may be avoided; unless indeed one can divest oneself of the feeling that they have a moral, and this is a power which the author by no means covets. He feels that the moral here is a wholesome one. Every instance in which we are brought into connection with those to Whom we owe our very existence as individuals, and as a nation, ought to make us feel our fellowship rather than our distance, and to teach us a proper estimate of ourselves and of our fathers. If there are many things which tend to lessen the influence even of our common Christianity in making us one with them, it will be useful to view them as engaged in a work, of which we in herit the advantages: and if we are superior, as we are and ought to be, to our remote ancestors, in many things, - in the arts of life, in habits of society, in soundness of objective faith and if we are quite as conscious of this as is consistent with charity and humility, it may be a wholesome exercise for us to pursue a study which will present them to us as unquestionably our superiors in one branch of the arts, and in one of the fruits of true religion.

Download or read book Architectural Illustrations and Description written by Robert William Billings and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-08 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Architectural Illustrations and Description: Of the Cathedral Church at Durham This Volume was commenced with the intention of making the architectural illustrations to one scale. This intention has been carried out, and the Work as now completed, forms, together with a similar Work by the Author upon the Cathedral Church at Carlisle, the first series of parallel representations of two English Cathedrals ever given to the public. It would seem perfectly surprising that, in the numerous works already produced, this plan has not been adopted, did not the length of time necessarily expended in making correct representations, and lack of patronage, at once explain the cause. For the materials of the Historical Account the Author is indebted to Sanderson's reprint of "Davis's Rites and Monuments of the Church of Durham" (1767); the reprint (1816) of Hegge's "Legend of St. Cuthbert"; Hutchinson's "History of Durham" (1785); and Raine's "St. Cuthbert" (1828). As these contain the lives of the Bishops of Lindisfarne and Durham, as well as biographies of the Priors and Deans, with the Statutes of the Cathedral, and many other particulars, it has been thought unnecessary to enter into any long account, and the principal portion of the following pages therefore relates to the Cathedral in its present state. The Author begs to tender his acknowledgments to the Dean and Chapter of Durham, for the numerous facilities afforded him in the prosecution of the Work, now terminated.
