Not illustrated. 1857 edition. Excerpt: ... enabled to impose upon the church his heating and ventilating apparatus; then the vestry or building committee--even though the manufacturer of furnaces come from among them--are still responsible to their constituents for their carelessness in commissioning a dishonest architect to undertake their works. It may seem unjust to confine these strictures on dishonesty to the sphere of my profession, but there is not here space, nor is it compatible with the nature of this work to say more, or a picture of vast incapacity, deception, dishonesty, bribing and bonus giving could be drawn, whose details would severely reflect upon too many officials, church building committees, builders, and others who call themselves architects, but have no right to the name. The architect's vocation is to design, and with the aid of artificers to build from his design; and no matter how many inyectives may be launched against him, he cannot be made professionally or otherwise responsible for the manner in which the building be erected is warmed or ventilated when it is effected through machinery devised by others. If the building committee think fit to introduce Mr. 's ingenious contrivance for warming the church, and also his patent ventilating register, adjusted by a cord and tassel; they are responsible, and not the architect; they are responsible to their God for the workings of these poisonous processes by which so many of their confiding fellow-creatures are insensibly hurried into eternity. Men of known scientific capacity, high honor, and intellectual worth, should constitute building committees, and not those whose very occupations, daily transactions, and limited knowledge render them unfit to take upon themselves the erection of a house to the honor...

The ancient churches and cathedrals of England's towns and countryside are among the glories of our national heritage, the church spire one of the quintessential features of the landscape. Yet how were our ancestors able to construct these often substantial edifices without the benefit of modern techniques? How did medieval masons plan, design and oversee their construction? What methods of construction were used to achieve the magnificent church spires and ceilings that we marvel at today? Geoffrey R. Sharpe brings more that forty years of experience of managing and caring for historic buildings to provide a unique guide to the design and construction of our historic churches and cathedrals. Building a cathedral could require a workforce of 300 to 400 men, the quarrying of 80,000 tons of stone and involve the felling of 1500 trees. How all this was organized, managed and realized is explained in this compelling volume. The author deals with all aspects - from original planning and preparation, to the final construction and decoration. The layout and choice of materials, the construction of the foundations, walls and ceilings, the work of the highly skilled medieval masons, blacksmiths and carpenters are all described and explained. Individual aspects of church architecture such as corbels, tracery and windows, as well as important features of church interiors such as galleries, burial vaults and screens are included. And in a final chapter the author shows the reader how to assess the history and development of a church from the constructional and architectural clues contained within its features. The result is a work that will add a whole new dimension to understanding English church building and architecture.

In the late-nineteenth century the circulation of pattern books featuring medieval church architecture in England facilitated an unprecedented spread of Gothic revival churches in Canada. Engaging several themes around the spread of print culture, religion, and settlement, A Commerce of Taste details the business of church building. Drawing upon formal architectural analysis and cultural theory, Barry Magrill shows how pattern books offer a unique way of studying the relationships between taste, ideology, privilege, social change, and economics. Taste was a concept used to legitimize British - and to an extent Anglican - privilege, while other denominations resisted their aesthetic edicts. Pattern books eventually lost control of the exclusivity associated with taste as advances in printing technology and transatlantic shipping brought more books into the marketplace and readerships expanded beyond the professional classes. By the early twentieth century taste had become diluted, the architect had lost his heroic status, and architectural distinctions among denominations were less apparent. Drawing together the history of church building and the broader patterns of Canadian social and historical development, A Commerce of Taste presents an alternative perspective on the spread of religious monuments in Canada by looking squarely at pattern books as sources of social conflict around the issue of taste.
