600 New Churches: The Church Building Commission 1818-1856
by Michael Port

He has now thoroughly revised it, adding much new material and a wealth of illustrations, many of which have never been published before.

St Peter's, Barton-upon-Humber, Lincolnshire, Volume 1: History, Archaeology, and Architecture
by Warwick Rodwell with Caroline Atkins
St Peter's, Barton-upon-Humber, is a redundant medieval church in the care of English Heritage.

Excavations between 1978 and 1984 investigated most of the interior of the building, as well as a swathe of churchyard around its exterior. At the same time, a stone-by-stone record and detailed archaeological ...

The Lantern Tower of Westminster Abbey, 1060-2010: Reconstructing its History and Architecture
by Warwick Rodwell
Westminster Abbey is one of the most important and well-known medieval buildings in Europe but, despite being studied by generations of scholars, there is still much to learn about its history and architecture.

The lantern over the centre of the church is a case in point. Edward the Confessor built a great tower here, which is depicted on the Bayeux Tapestry. When Henry III was rebuilding the Abbey in the 1250s, a new tower was begun ...

W.F. Pocock: Designs for Churches and Chapels
by W.F. Pocock, with an introduction by Christopher Webster
This beautifully presented volume is a faithful reproduction of W.F. Pocock's book of 1819 and is a major landmark in the publication of architectural facsimiles. It is probably the most important Georgian pattern book not hitherto reprinted. This remarkable work is of fundamental importance in understanding the dynamic story of church and chapel building in the period after Waterloo, and was the only book ever produced on this subject before ...

Die Baugeschichte der Sophienkirche in Sofia
by Galina Fingarova
English summary: The unique architecture of the Hagia Sophia Church in Sofia, Bulgaria, gives it a prominent role not only in the history of the city, which assumed the name of the church, but also in the architectural history of the Balkan region and the Byzantine Empire. And yet, a critically urgent and thorough investigation of this monument has so far not taken place. With the full-scale study on the construction history of the Hagia ...

R.D. Chantrell (1793-1872) and the Architecture of a Lost Generation
by Christopher Webster
Chantrell - along with many architects of his generation - has hitherto been confined to the shadows of architectural history, shadows cast so adeptly by Pugin and the Ecclesiologists. This book reconsiders his many achievements and sets them within the context of the architectural theory and practice of his time.

After training in Sir John Soane's office and designing a string of compelling Classical buildings, Chantrell reinvented ...

Contrasts and True Principles of Pointed or Christian Architecture
by A W N Pugin
