Paperback. Condición: New. Language: English. About The Book : The first chapter commences with a differentiation of the parish church from cathedrals, churches of monks and canons and collegiate churches ; the characteristics of the Monastic Orders, the Canons Regular and Canons Secular, the Friars and the Military Orders are set forth, and special attention is given to the constitution of collegiate churches, a subject on which much misapprehension has prevailed. The second chapter deals with a subject with which few of those who visit or worship in the great churches of monks or canons are, as a rule, acquainted, viz. the purposes which the various portions of the greater churches were intended to subserve. The third chapter deals with the planning of the cathedral, monastic and collegiate churches.The fourth chapter is devoted to the strange history of the growth of the English parish church, of which a consecutive account appears for the first time ;In the fifth chapter we turn to building construction ; this particular chapter deals with vaulting. The sixth chapter deals with the various systems of abutment by which the vaults are kept from thrusting out the walls. In the seventh chapter an account has been added of the flint work which was in such large use in East Anglia, and drawings are given of characteristic flush tracery and panel work in flint. In the eighth chapter there is a detailed account of a curiously local set of capitals in the Early Gothic of the West of England. The ninth chapter deals with the window. In the short chapter on doorways and porches a number of large- scale illustrations of the two-storied porches of East Anglia are added, together with an account of the curious uses, half secular, half ecclesiastical, to which the parochial porch was put.
