Search Britannia BRITANNIA GATEWAYS History Travel British Life Shop Britannia The Architectural Development of Exeter Cathedral in Devon By David Nash Ford E X E T E R C A T H E D R A L "Nowhere is there a cathedral of greater originality, of more complete harmony or more obvious and striking unity" than at Exeter. The Cathedral forms a class of itself, as far as details go. No building of its age shows us the taste of that age in greater perfection. Exeter Cathedral does not hold its high place in the hierarchy of churches in virtue of the area of ground which it covers. It does not rank in magnitude with the great cathedrals of Wessex or the greater church of Canterbury, or with Lincoln, or with York, but in originality, in harmony, in unity, it bears comparison with the proudest of them all. Exeter is one of the smaller but most beautiful of cathedrals in England. Of the Saxon church, which Bishop Leofric used as his cathedral, no fragments now remain above ground, though its remains were excavated in the 1970s. Doubtless, it was greatly inferior to the Norman edifice which Bishop Warelwast, nephew of the Conqueror, commenced to build to the east of it in 1114. Apparently, almost a century was spent on the work, which was finished by Bishop Marshall very late that same century, according to the plan and foundation of his predecessors. The chapter house was added by Bishop Bruere in the mid-13th century. The wealthy, Bishop Stapledon was able to provide the Cathedral with many endowments for extensions of the 'new work'. The nave was begun around 1310 and the vast pulpitum there dates from his time. These constructions were completed by Bishop Grandisson in the late 1330s and the stonework of his windows is considered to be the best example of the period. Further, his magnificent screen is the glory of the West Front. This beautiful facade, with its sculptured figures, was probably finished around 1342 and would originally have been highly painted.

The visitor can see here examples of all the fashions of architecture in use in this country during the five centuries preceding the sixteenth. The outside length of the Cathedral is 342 feet; inside, 327 feet 5 inches; nave, 158 feet 6 inches; choir from screen to reredos, 75 feet 6 inches; Lady Chapel, 93 feet 5 inches. The massive central tower (1320-40), the decorated work of which is enriched with ball-flower ornament, was at one time surmounted by a timber spire. The north or Booth porch, noticeable for its fine windows, the arcading on the Lady Chapel and the north transept are other striking features of the exterior. 13th century or Early English: The Lady Chapel and crypt, the clerestory of the choir and the north transept, a remarkable piece of work, transformed by pointed arches and windows of a very original kind under the direction of Bishop Peter de Aquablanca in circa 1260.

Ten Myths of Contemporary Church Architecture Sacred Architecture ) Fall 1998 Author: Fr. George William Rutler 1. The Second Vatican Council requires us to reject traditional church architecture and design new churches in a Modernist style. This myth is based more on what Roman Catholics have built during the past thirty years than on what the Church has taught. Even by professional accounts, the church architecture of the past decade has been an unmitigated disaster. However, actions often speak louder than words, and the faithful have been led to believe that the Church requires buildings to be functional abstractions, because that is what we have been building. Nothing could be farther from the intentions of the Council fathers who clearly intended the historic excellence of Catholic architecture to continue. It is most important to keep in mind that "there must be no innovations unless the good of the Church genuinely and certainly requires them, and care must be taken that any new forms adopted should in some way grow organically from forms already existing." ( Sacrosanctum Concilium Just as to do Catholic theology means to learn from the past, so to design Catholic architecture is to be inspired and even quote from the tradition and the time-tested expressions of church architecture. the Second Vatican Council

71. Regional Info (Architecture) The Rural Green tourism Association of IvanoFrankivsk, Ukraine describes the wooden churches and homes of the region, and their techniques of construction. http://members.aol.com/chornohora/arch.htm

REGIONAL INFORMATION the mountains hutsuls architecture tourism WOODEN ARCHITECTURE THE HUTSUL CHURCH Probably the most distinctive structure that has carried architectural traditions of the distant past into our time is the wooden church. According to a Hutsul Christmas carol, everywhere that a drop of Christ's blood touched the ground, grew a church. Nearly every village, no matter how small, had its own church. Today, over a hundred churches can be found throughout the Carpathians, several dating back to the 15th century. The plan footprint of a classical Hutsul church is in the form of a cross. Churches are typically topped with one, three or even five cupolas. Historians believe that structures of this design were constructed in the Carpathians during the Kyivan Rus period, although none have survived to the present. Other church plans (a one chamber plan, and the three section plan) were also employed in the past. A one chamber plan church that was constructed in 1428 can be seen today in Seredne Vodyane (Rakhiv district). In the 16th-18th century, churches with a cross plan came to predominate in the Hutsul region. These types of churches were also common in eastern Ukraine, yet there, they were somewhat taller. Tragically, most wooden churches of eastern Ukraine were destroyed by the Soviets in the 1930's. Carpathian churches were spared by their remoteness and also since the region came under Soviet rule after WWII. The oldest surviving Hutsul churches were constructed in the 16th-17th century. Several examples are:

The building exterior is designed to tie into the existing buildings. By creating a wrap around seating arrangement in the auditorium we maximized the sense of community within the space, as well as improving the sense of intimacy between the pastor and the congregation. A large atrium serves as a foyer for the auditorium and provides an additional area for congregating.

75. Article 3 - Henry Langley And The Making Of Gothic Guelph An indepth, illustrated article by Gilbert Stelter about the Gothic architecture of churches in Guelph, Canada, designed by Toronto-based architect Henry Langley. http://www.uoguelph.ca/history/urban/article3.html

Originally published in Historic Guelph, Volume XXVIII, September 1989 Figure 1: Gothic Guelph. Several Gothic spires dominate Guelph's townscape in the early 1880s. From the left: the old St. Bartholomew's Roman Catholic Church. with the transept and fleche of the new Church of Our Lady looming over it; Central School; St. George's Anglican Church; St.Andrew's Presbyterian Church; and possibly. through the trees, First Baptist Church. Source: George Grant. Picturesque Canada . vol. 2 (1882). The artist who depicted Guelph for Picturesque Canada in the early 1880s emphasizes some of the Gothic spires which dominated the skyline. (Figure 1). The fledgling city had been transformed in the previous twenty years from a frontier community built in a late Georgian classical tradition, to a Victorian city dressed up in the latest metropolitan style. Guelph's rapid transformation was typical of changes throughout Ontario. and indeed. the entire English speaking world. At a general cultural level, this "profusion of spires", as one historian has put it. represented an attempt by the various Christian churches to proclaim the power of the sacred in the face of a society that was becoming increasingly secular and materialistic. More particularly. this Gothic revival can be traced to Great Britain, where this movement originated mainly among church architects and architectural critics. It was popularized in Canada by British-born and trained architects such as William Thomas and William Hay, or by Canadians trained by them. such as Henry Langley.

'Churches in Cumbria' In Cumbria, there is no local tradition in Church architecture. For one thing, the dales were mostly too poor, and for another, the slate was not a good material for building in the style of medieval gothic. Partly because of poverty, churches fell into disrepair, and had to be rebuilt, or were too small and had to be enlarged. While many dale churches have 12th or 13th Century origins, only a few remain in anything like their original state. Many churches have towers, some of them fortified, but few have steeples. Those that do are mainly 19th Century in the towns - Ambleside, Cockermouth, Keswick, Barrow and Millom. Some Victorian churches were built by rich landowners who wanted their own church near to the house for the use of themselves and their staff.

80. Church Architecture | Churches Of Minnesota Thus it is a diverting practice for those of us who care about churches and architecture (and church architecture) to pick up a book of photographs of houses http://www.ralphmag.org/CJ/churches-minnesota.html

Churches of Minnesota An Illustrated Guide Alan K. Lathrop (University of Minnesota Press) In their often vain desire to capture the divine, humans spend countless years (and countless billions) to build appropriate religious shrines. And each sect thereby reveals their vision of the godhead. Some, such as the Baptists, Catholics, Episcopalians and Presbyterians will spare nothing to be sure that the world knows the depths of the usurious love they have for their gods. Others such as Quakers, Unitarians, and at times the off-sects offer a humble structure as their representation of the godhead. Thus it is a diverting practice for those of us who care about churches and architecture (and church architecture) to pick up a book of photographs of houses of worship, to leaf through it and try to guess which divinity is being addressed. Over a hundred Minnesota churches are represented here, with mostly simple black- and- white photographs of the exterior. As the editor points out, there was a conscious choice, selecting houses of worship from every corner of the state, rather than concentrating on the large cities, and - further - to pick different styles expressing changing tastes in religious architecture over the last 150 years. The earliest church represented, looking a bit ragged but comfortably homely is the Greek Revival Methodist Church in Monticello, dating from 1857. It is said to have cost $945 to construct and was built by a local carpenter.
