Gothic Architecture in England

A detailed look at how to identify and date the various parts of a mediaeval English Gothic building. This session looks at how the master masons of the Middle Ages moved away from the Norman or Romanesque style of construction, and began to develop the uniquely English styles we now recognise in countless towns and villages across the country. Beginning with its origins in Norman architecture, I talk you through the main developments of window tracery, through the Early English, Decorated and Perpendicular periods, building up your knowledge of what to look for and how to read these ancient and beautiful buildings. After watching this video you too will be able to work out the age of a church, and impress your friends with your knowledge of mediaeval ecclesiastical design.
