Download or read book Medieval Art and Architecture at Ely Cathedral written by British Archaeological Association and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second volume in the series launched by the British Archaeological Association in which are to be published the transactions of the annual conferences devoted to the study of a major medieval monument and its surrounding area. As in the case of the first volume the unavoidable delay in publishing the transactions has meant that some of the papers are not in the form that they were delivered to the conference and that not all the papers were available for publication in the present volume. The editors have therefore taken the opportunity to include some additional plates, especially plans, which may not be referred to directly in any of the papers but which, it is felt, will make the volume a more useful contribution to the study of this remarkable building. This Volume includesL Sutton in the Isle of Ely and its Architectural Context (Richard Fawcett); Medieval Timberwork at Ely (John Fletcher); The Fourteenth-Century Tile Pavements in Prior Crauden's Chapel and in the South Transept (Lawrence Keen); Ely Cathedral: the Fourteenth-Century Work (Nicola Coldstream).

Download or read book A History of Ely Cathedral written by Peter Meadows and published by Ecclesiastical History/Religio. This book was released on 2003 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tiny community founded in the fens by St Etheldreda in 672 and refounded as an abbey in 970 became one of the greatest monasteries in England: a community which owned much of Cambridgeshire and East Anglia as well as of the Isle of Ely itself, and which lived and worshipped in a set of buildings of which many are still standing. 'There is not perhaps, any one Fabrick in this Kingdom that exhibits a larger, more elegant, or a more magnificent display of what is called Gothic Architecture, than the Cathedral of Ely': so wrote James Bentham in his History and Antiquities of Ely in 1771. The present book is the first substantial history of the cathedral to be written since then, and covers the Church of Ely through each of its transformations - as early Saxon monastic settlement, as abbey, as cathedral priory (1109), and finally, after the Reformation, as cathedral governed by dean and chapter (1541). A final chapter looks at the present-day life of the cathedral and the changes and challenges produced by the new statutes of 2000. Contents cover: Ely Abbey 672-1109; Ely 1109-1539, with Benedictine observance, Norman architecture and sculpture, the gothic cathedral, monastic buildings, library and archives; Dean and Chapter 1541-1836, with archives, fabric, music and liturgy; Ely Cathedral 1836-1980, with fabric, music, archives; Ely Cathedral 1980-2000.

They outstrip palaces and castles. They are the most sensational group of structures anywhere in the world - which everyone should 'see before they die'. They are also hugely popular, most of them absolutely packed. They are humankind's greatest creations. In Europe's 100 Best Cathedrals, Simon Jenkins has travelled the continent - from Chartres to York, Cologne to Florence, Toledo to Moscow and Stockholm to Seville - to illuminate old favourites and highlight new discoveries. Beautifully illustrated with colour photographs throughout, this joyous exploration of Europe's history tells the stories behind these wonders, showing the cathedral's central role in the European imagination. Readers will be inspired to make their own pilgrimage to all one hundred of them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Somerville is one of our finest gazetteers of the British countryside. He brings his formidable knowledge to bear on his personal quest to explore the cathedrals in this entrancing book’ The Spectator Christopher Somerville, author of the acclaimed The January Man, pictured cathedrals as great unmoving bastions of tradition. But as he journeys among Britian’s favourites, old and new, he discovers buildings and communities that have been in constant upheaval for a thousand years. Here are stories of the monarchs and bishops who ordered the construction of these buildings, the masons whose genius brought them into being, and the peasants who worked and died on the scaffolding. We learn of rogue saints exploited by holy sinners, the pomp and prosperity that followed these ships of stone, the towns that grew up in their shadows. Meeting believers and non-believers, architects and archaeologists, the cleaner who dusts the monuments and the mason who judges stone by its taste, we delve deep into the private lives and the uncertain future of these ever-voyaging Ships of Heaven. ‘Somerville paints word pictures of exquisite quality’ Church Times
