[edit] ARCHITECTURE OF NORMAN ENGLAND
This study of the architecture of Norman England discusses and puts into context castles, halls, cathedrals, abbeys, collegiate churches, monastic buildings, parish churches, and palace chapels, and provides a guide to parts of the buildings as well as an account of the processes by which the buildings were planned and built.
This important addition to the literature by Eric Fernie, a recognized authority on the subject, is the first overall study of the architecture of Norman England since Sir Alfred Clapham's English Romanesque Architecture after the Conquest (1934). Containing powerful new ideas which will affect the way in which we look at and analyse these buildings, it discusses and puts into context castles, halls, cathedrals, abbeys, collegiate churches, monastic buildings, parish churches, and palace chapels, and provides a guide to the parts of the buildings, such as apses, passages, vaults, and galleries, as well as an account of the processes by which the buildings were planned and built. This important addition to the literature is the first overall study of the architecture of Norman England since Sir Alfred Clapham's English Romanesque Architecture after the Conquest (1934). Eric Fernie, a recognized authority on the subject, begins with an overview of the architecture of the period, paying special attention to the importance of the architectural evidence for an understanding of the Norman Conquest. The second part, the core of the book, is an examination of the buildings defined by their function, as castles, halls, and chamber blocks, cathedrals, abbeys, and collegiate churches, monastic buildings, parish churches, and palace chapels. The third part is a reference guide to the elements which make up the buildings, such as apses, passages, vaults, galleries, and decorative features, and the fourth offers an account of the processes by which they were planned and constructed. This book contains powerful new ideas that will affect the way in which we look at and analyze these buildings.
