This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recent English Ecclesiastical Architecture In planning a modern church it is the business of the architect to discover the general lines which will produce the best possible building under given conditions. Oi these conditions, those of cost, of situation, and of material are in very few cases exactly alike. But, as our churches are built for a definite purpose, there are certain conditions of space and arrangement which should in no case be disregarded. The publications referred to have left little to be said upon these matters, yet it is obvious from what we see every day that the existence of a fairly well understood set of rules does not ensure our possessing a worthy architecture. To secure this, our architects must cultivate their imagination and their sense of proportion; above all, they must take pains. The most hopeless of our modern churches are not so often the work of inexperienced men as the routine productions of diocesan surveyors' ofiices.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Present State of Ecclesiastical Architecture in England HE revival of our ancient parochial church architecture is a subject which occupies much attention at the present time; after three centuries of demolition and neglect, the solemn structures raised by our Catholic ancestors are being gradually restored to somewhat of their original appearance, and buildings which but a few years since were considered as unsightly and barbarous erections of ignorant times, are now become the theme for general eulogy, and models for imita tion. To the English Catholic there is no class of religious edifices of greater interest than the ancient parish churches of this country. The are admirably suited to the present wants and necessities of the Church, nor is it possible to adopt, con sistently, any other models for the greater portion of our ecclesiastical buildings.

This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Ecclesiastical Architecture in England It is impossible to write on such subjects Without a moral tone, though direct moralizing may be avoided; unless indeed one can divest oneself of the feeling that they have a moral, and this is a power which the author by no means covets. He feels that the moral here is a wholesome one. Every instance in which we are brought into connection with those to Whom we owe our very existence as individuals, and as a nation, ought to make us feel our fellowship rather than our distance, and to teach us a proper estimate of ourselves and of our fathers. If there are many things which tend to lessen the influence even of our common Christianity in making us one with them, it will be useful to view them as engaged in a work, of which we in herit the advantages: and if we are superior, as we are and ought to be, to our remote ancestors, in many things, - in the arts of life, in habits of society, in soundness of objective faith and if we are quite as conscious of this as is consistent with charity and humility, it may be a wholesome exercise for us to pursue a study which will present them to us as unquestionably our superiors in one branch of the arts, and in one of the fruits of true religion.

Book Synopsis The Cathedrals of Great Britain by : P. H. Ditchfield
Download or read book The Cathedrals of Great Britain written by P. H. Ditchfield and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cathedrals of Great Britain: Their History and Architecture In this volume I have attempted to give an architectural description of all the cathedral churches of England, Wales, and Scotland, together with a brief history of each see. In order to include any adequate account of each church and bishopric in one volume of portable size, which may be of use to visitors in their travels, much compression has been necessary, but it is hoped that nothing of importance has been omitted which might be useful to those who would read aright the architectural history of our great churches. On account of their immense importance in the history of Gothic art, it has been thought well to include in this volume some account of the churches of Westminster and Beverley. At the close of each history of a cathedral will be found a record of the principal building dates and dimensions, and also a brief account of the chief places and churches of interest in the city or neighbourhood which it is advisable to visit. I desire to express my grateful thanks to all who have kindly assisted in the preparation of this work, to the deans and canons-in-residence who have often guided me by their counsel during my study of their cathedrals, and also to the vergers who have readily afforded me much valuable help. More especially do I wish to thank the Deans of Lincoln, Ely, Chester and Gloucester, Canon Tristram of Durham, Bishop Anson of Lichfield, and Archdeacon Richardson of Southwell, for their courtesy and kindly interest. I have also to record my obligations to the work of many previous writers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis The English Parish Church by : J. Charles Cox
Download or read book The English Parish Church written by J. Charles Cox and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Parish Church: An Account of the Chief Building Types of Their Materials During Nine Centuries An endeavour too is made in these pages to set forth, after a succinct fashion, the undoubted but often forgotten fact that our ancestors, whilst regarding the church as primarily devoted to the worship of God and to the continuous round of the expression of their highest Faith, considered that the soul and body were so intimately connected that they habitually used the nave for purposes which we call secular or civil. All this tended in the direction of every class uniting in the maintenance and development of the parish church. More than usual attention is herein given to the Materials from which our churches were constructed, and how their shape and size so largely depended upon the nature of the stone by which they were surrounded, or by its absence and the frequency of flint or timber. It had been intended to follow this up by a chapter or section on Local Types, mapping out England into more or less definite divisions' but it was found, after some progress had been made, that the subject was too big for inclusion in a book of limited size, that it had as yet been scarcely sufficiently studied, and that it was better on the whole to give more attention to planning and to the successive periods of architecture.

And the rebuke was a just cne; and it is in this friendly appreciation of every part of the village church that the selection of subjects has been made and not by any means with the idea of presenting in each case a perfect ensemble.
