Book Synopsis An Architectural History of Peterborough Cathedral by : Lisa A. Reilly
Download or read book An Architectural History of Peterborough Cathedral written by Lisa A. Reilly and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1997 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Architectural History of Peterborough clarifies the obscure and tangled building history of one of England's most interesting medieval monuments. Lisa Reilly demonstrates how Peterborough offers extensive information concerning both specific buildings such as Canterbury and broader issuesof the period such as the process of cultural assimiliation, patterns of construction and building design as a response to liturgical needs. This study represents an expansion of the traditional use of formal and archaeological analysis to include a discussion of the building's social and politicalcontext. The entire fabric is discussed, from its Anglo-Saxon remains,the Anglo-Norman construction of the nave, choir and transepts, the early Gothic period which produced its well-known west front through to the final construction of its fan-vaulted retrochoir at the very end of the Middle Ages.Peterborough Cathedral is the best-preserved example of Anglo-Norman architecture, and provides an ideal case study for the period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peterborough Cathedral: A General, Architectural, and Monastic History The narrative, subsequent to the overthrow of Romanism, is briefer than that before it. There is this reason for the dilference. The Romanist always considered the church part of his religion: Hence, while he was true to himself, he took the same pride in it that the father takes in his own child. But to the Protestant the church became only a foster child. There was a legal but not a natural tie between them. The Protestant looked on the church as little other than his tent. It was a mere shelter from the seasons. It protected him from summer heats and winter forsts. He honored it as he honored wool and annel, but it was never an object of pride and ambition to him. Hence the connection, which between abbot and abbey had been close and affec tionate, became weak and indifferent between bishop and cathedral. There was no more interesting history of the building to trace out. The Protestant in the cathedral seemed like the shrimp in the shell of a lobster. He knew not how to occupy or to use his great usurped man sion. He could not even keep it together. Hence, till the recent efforts at restoration, the cathedral history of the English church was onlv a satirical record of neglect and decay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: -A fascinating account of the turbulent history of Peterborough Cathedral - one of England's finest surviving Norman buildings -Stunning new photography brings the cathedral's miraculously preserved art and architecture to life -Ideal for those with an interest in English or Cambridgeshire history, or religious art and architecture Peterborough Cathedral is one of England's finest Norman buildings, sited on the shifting boundary between solid ground and waterlogged fenlands. Founded in AD 654 and achieving cathedral status in 1541, the preservation of its art and architecture is remarkable considering its turbulent history. Author Jonathan Foyle traces the story from the earliest traces of habitation here to the monumental and inventive twelfth-century building, which largely survives. The extraordinary west front, with its three monumental arches, is seen as symbolizing the guardianship of St Peter, keeper of the keys of heaven, while the complex decoration of the vast wooden nave ceiling contrasts the joys of heaven with the horrors of hell. Falling into disrepair in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Peterborough never experienced wholesale Victorian restoration, thereby preserving its art and architecture and allowing us to see the glimpse of heaven that it has offered through the ages. Ultimately, it is a story of triumph against adversity, for today the cathedral serves a vibrant and developing community. Contents: Introduction 1. Between Land and Water 2.

Book Synopsis Peterborough and the Soke by : Ron Baxter
Download or read book Peterborough and the Soke written by Ron Baxter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-03 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The British Archaeological Association Conference held at Peterborough in 2015 provided a welcome opportunity for a new analysis of the cathedral’s architecture, sculpture and artistic production, and a reassessment of the relationship between the former abbey, the city and its institutions, and the Soke over which it held sway. This ambitious volume casts new light on the Roman occupation of the Nene valley, and the rich Anglo-Saxon sculptural and manuscript context that preceded the construction of the present cathedral, as well as exploring the vital Romanesque tradition of the Soke and the essential contribution of the Barnack quarries. But inevitably the most exciting new disclosures concern the church: its high-quality building campaigns during the 12th to 16th centuries, its abbots’ tombs and the reconstruction of the lost 14th-century High Altar screen from descriptions and loose fragments. Peterborough has attracted the attention of antiquarian scholars since its sacking by Cromwell’s men during the Civil War, and as its secrets are gradually revealed it continues to stimulate the historical imagination.
