First Published in 1986 The Architectural History of King's College
Chapel provides a complete picture of how and why King's College
Chapel came to be built. Francis Woodman uses the evidence both of
structure and style and finance and patronage to present the
organisation and mechanics of the structural campaigns spread over
more than seventy years. He proposes a completely new sequence of
constructions from that hitherto accepted, together with clear
evidence of changes in policy concerning the intention to vault the
Chapel part-way through construction. The book also contains the
first complete analysis of the remarkable Tudor building accounts
and their significance for the study of mediaeval architectural
history. King's College Chapel is placed within the context of the
contemporary architecture in both England and France and, for the
first time, English late mediaeval architecture is considered and
presented as one part of a wider European movement. This book is a
must read for scholars and researchers of British architecture and
architectural history.
