First Published in 1981 The Architectural History of Canterbury
Cathedral traces the entire architectural history of the church
from Anglo-Saxon times to the present day. Every major epoch of
English architecture is represented, from the Norman Conquest to
the splendours of the Tudor age. One of the main concerns has been
a reconstruction of the two Norman phases - Lanfranc's cathedral
from 1070 and the great choir of St Anselm begun in 1096. Dr
Woodman puts forward new and provocative ideas about the
architecture of William of Sens and his original proposals for the
new Gothic choir and Trinity Chapel. The Perpendicular phases are
detailed for the first time, including an important reattribution
and redating of the splendid pulpitum. It analyses for the first
time the precise areas of building completed by individual master
masons, and he discusses details revealed by archaeological
excavations and restoration work that are no longer visible. This
stimulating study is a must read for scholars and researchers of
British architecture, architectural history and architecture in
general.
