Synopsis
Exploring how medieval churches were read, studied, and sometimes restored, with a close look at Chichester Cathedral and its region. This edition invites readers to see ecclesiology as a practical craft, not just a theory. The book analyzes how districts shape church design, and how local features can surprise or challenge established ideas. It presents concrete examples and candid observations from restorations, offering a clear view of both the challenges and rewards of conserving sacred architecture.
Inside you’ll find ground-level discussion of grading patterns, window tracery, and the interplay of medieval styles. The text contrasts First-Pointed, Middle-Pointed, and other regional developments, and it shows how architects and parishioners balance history, aesthetics, and use. Through case studies like Old Bosham and nearby churches, it explains how appearances can mask a more complex past and how restorations aim to respect original design while meeting present needs.
- Concrete examples of how districts influence church color, massing, and detailing.
- Plain language explanations of architectural terms and styles for quick understanding.
- Insights into restoration decisions, approvals, and the challenges of updating historic spaces.
- Observations on how chancel, tower, and nave relationships shape overall impression.
Ideal for readers of ecclesiology, church architecture, and restoration history who want a practical, readable overview.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of a significant yet often overlooked element of Catholic ecclesiastical architectureâ"the credence or side-table used in the preparation of sacramental elements for the sacrament of Holy Communion or Eucharist. Beginning with early instances of the use of 'ministerium' or side table in the 6th century, continuing with the first recorded use of the term 'credence' in the time of Pope Leo X, and concluding with an analysis of the credence's prescribed use in the latest revisions of the Roman Missal and Ceremoniale Episcoporum, this carefully researched study examines the development of the credence's purpose, appearance, and changing place within the context of Catholic ritual and liturgy. The author argues that while the credence has served different purposes and held a variety of objects throughout its long history, one thing has remained constant: its role as a sacred furnishing which reflects the dignity and importance of the celebration of the sacrament of Holy Communion, and the reverence owed to the Eucharistic elements.
