Download or read book Historic Floors written by Jane Fawcett and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2007-06-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book in the UK to be devoted to historic floors. It introduces an important and largely neglected subject and considers conservation methods in a European context. It traces the history of some of the great floors of Europe from the fourth century B.C. and outlines the development of mosaic, tiles, marble and parquetry floors in secular buildings. The early Christian pavements in basilicas, temples and cathedrals, the creation of medieval tiles, ledger stones and monumental brasses, their destruction by iconoclasts and re-creation during the Gothic Revival, are also discussed. Leading authorities, archaeologists, architects and archivists consider the latest methods of recording and repairing cathedral floors, including those of cathedrals, country houses, the monumental tiled pavements of the Palace of Westminster and other public buildings. Management policies to protect outstanding floors in over-visited sites are considered and historic features particularly at risk, are identified. Urgent action is recommended to contain the damage caused by the dramatic increase in tourism throughout Europe.
Book Synopsis 'Our Magnificent Fabrick' by : Sarah Brown
Download or read book 'Our Magnificent Fabrick' written by Sarah Brown and published by Historic England. This book was released on 2003 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a period of almost five hundred years York Minster resembled a building site as different parts were added and altered before it finally became the building we see today. This detailed study of the construction and development of the minster draws on architectural recording carried out on the building by the RCHME and English Heritage since the early 1970s, as well as more recent discoveries and research, particularly on the stained glass windows. Each major building phase is discussed in turn: the construction of the transept, the Chapter House, the nave, Lady Chapel, western choir and central tower. The historical background to these phases reveals some of the financial, political and religious events that hampered and/or motivated the building phases and this, and issues of imagery and patronage, are all discussed.
Book Synopsis The Monuments of the Parish Church of St Peter-at-Leeds by : Margaret Pullan
Download or read book The Monuments of the Parish Church of St Peter-at-Leeds written by Margaret Pullan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-28 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Parish Church has not only played a significant part in the life of Leeds, it captures within it the history of the great events and people who together have shaped that city through the centuries. Hundreds of monuments and memorials dating from the Middle Ages to the present day encrust its walls and floors, telling as they do, the part Leeds people have played in that story. Here we see memorials to members of the Leeds Volunteers, formed to offset Napoleon's threatened invasion, and to the men from the city who fought in the Crimea, in South Africa and in two World Wars. Here also we find tributes to hundreds of local men, women and children who lived out their lives in the town; some now forgotten, others nationally famous, like Richard Oastler the 'Factory King'. Now for the first time, those memorials have been captured in Margaret Pullan's pioneering publication, the product of years of devoted research. The range of information offered includes records of births, marriages, and deaths, full inscriptions, background histories explaining why the deceased were buried in the Parish Church and the artistic merits of their tombs. Architectural, ecclesiastical and local historians will find this an invaluable contribution in their respective fields of work whilst the general public will find it gives a fascinating view of the people of Leeds who lived through the years as the old town grew into a major city.
Book Synopsis The Lives of Prehistoric Monuments in Iron Age, Roman, and Medieval Europe by : Marta Díaz-Guardamino
Download or read book The Lives of Prehistoric Monuments in Iron Age, Roman, and Medieval Europe written by Marta Díaz-Guardamino and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the pervasive influence exerted by some prehistoric monuments on European social life over thousands of years, and reveals how they can act as a node linking people through time, possessing huge ideological and political significance. Through the advancement of theoretical approaches and scientific methodologies, archaeologists have been able to investigate how some of these monuments provide resources to negotiate memories, identities, and power and social relations throughout European history. The essays in this collection examine the life-histories of carefully chosen megalithic monuments, stelae and statue-menhirs, and rock art sites of various European and Mediterranean regions during the Iron Age and Roman and Medieval times. By focusing on the concrete interaction between people, monuments, and places, the volume offers an innovative outlook on a variety of debated issues. Prominent among these is the role of ancient remains in the creation, institutionalization, contestation, and negotiation of social identities and memories, as well as their relationship with political economy in early historic European societies. By contributing to current theoretical debates on materiality, landscape, and place-making, The Lives of Prehistoric Monuments in Iron Age, Roman, and Medieval Europe seeks to overcome disciplinary boundaries between prehistory and history, and highlight the long-term, genealogical nature of our engagement with the world.
