Scala Arts Publishers, Inc.

Salisbury Cathedral, a famously beautiful work of ecclesiastical architecture, was erected within about 40 years in a single style (Early English Gothic), the only substantial additions being the tower and spire, which were completed by about 1330. Tim Tatton-Brown reveals the story of how a great medieval cathedral was built, from the laying of the very first foundations in 1219 to the completion of the great spire, the tallest in Britain at 122 metres high. Drawing on history and geology as well as his expertise in architecture, he shows the wider context of the building, situating its development against the background of English politics of successive ages. He covers with similar authority the relatively few later changes to the structure, right up to the recent installation of a fine new font. His text is accompanied by outstanding new photographs by John Crook, along with drawings, engravings and other illustrations. Contents:Beginnings Preparing for a new cathedral The first phase Bishop Richard's 'New Basilica' The eastern arm, choir and presbytery The completion of the cathedral The chapter house and cloister Building the tower and spire The late Middle Ages, Tudor and early Stuart periods Restoration

<p>In 1993, excavations began in the nave and south-west transept of canterbury Cathedral to examine whatever lay beneath the nave, and to hopefully discover firm evidence on the construction of Archbishop Lanfranc's Anglo-Norman cathedral. An exciting discovery was the evidence for two Anglo-Saxon cathedrals, the second of which had been enlarged to a size comparable with the great 10th-century churches of germany. Part one covers the site, explaining the background and methods of excavation, and describing structures from the natural layers and pre-Roman occupation up to the present day. In part two the different churches and cathedrals on the site are examined through looking at layouts, reconstruction plans and sections. Part three is dedicated to the finds, beginning with small finds an pottery.</p>
