Synopsis
Full-page illustrations and construction details reveal a wealth of information on major roof styles of Medieval English churches, including the magnificent cover of Wymondham Church in Norfolk, in which projecting beams have been exquisitely carved into angels with expanding wings. More than 50 illustrations of 34 major and minor English cathedrals and churches are included, as is background information on the religious and secular concerns addressed by artisans. 11 line illustrations. 43 black-and-white plates., Excellently framed and designed, with bold, receding arches, the open timber roofs of the medieval period featured massive moldings, carved timbers, and intricate tracery. Today, these roofs are recognized for their striking beauty, rich ornamentation, and the consummate skills of the carpenters and builders who crafted them. This excellent reproduction of a rare nineteenth-century volume includes numerous full-page illustrations and construction details revealing a wealth of information on the major roof styles (tie-beam, trussed rafter, hammer-beam, and collar-braced) of medieval English churches. More than 50 illustrations of 34 English churches are included, among them the exquisite double hammer-beam roof of Knapton Church in Norwich, the richly ornamented roof over Trinity Chapel, Cirencester Church, in Gloucestershire, and the magnificent roof over Wymondham Church, in Norfolk, in which hammer-beams, boldly projecting into the nave, are exquisitely carved into figures of angels with expanding wings. These and many more masterly constructions are captured in the authors' own geometric and perspective drawings (done on-site), superbly reproduced here in detailed, highly accurate engravings. In addition to a wealth of pictorial detail, the authors also provide an informative general introduction to the major types of roof construction, as well as expert commentary on each individual roof, describing its distinguishing characteristics, ornament, measurements, and other details. Artists and illustrators will prize these beautifully rendered plates for their beauty and detail, while architects, antiquarians, and lovers of things medieval will appreciate the authenticity of the plates and the knowledgeable commentary of the architect-authors., More than 50 illustrations of 34 major and minor English cathedrals and churches are included, as is background information on the religious and secular concerns addressed by artisans., Full-page illustrations and construction details reveal a wealth of information on major roof styles of Medieval English churches, including the magnificent cover of Wymondham Church in Norfolk.
