Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides an extensive investigation into the origins of English ecclesiastical architecture, with a focus on ecclesiastical structures built prior to the Norman Conquest. The author draws links between pre-Conquest Anglo-Saxon architecture and both the preceding Roman and subsequent Celtic architectural styles and traditions. This text is separated into three parts, with the first exploring the origins of the Anglo-Saxon building style. These roots are found in Roman precedents, as well as influences from Celtic Christianity. The author then moves on to examine the varieties and characteristics of Saxon churches. Finally, he offers an essay in chronology and history. The author argues that rather than continuous progress or evolution, Saxon architecture was subject to periods of stagnation or decline, as well as spectacular flourishing. A lack of consistency in the architectural record, the author claims, makes a true historical treatment of the subject impossible. This book will strongly appeal to those with an interest in architectural history. Through a comprehensive survey of existing remains, the author provides an insightful analysis of pre-Conquest ecclesiastical architecture, offering a deeper understanding of its development and significance within a broader historical and cultural context.
