Architecture and sculpture in English churches changed and
developed markedly between the eleventh and sixteenth centuries,
partly due to the invading French influence on the existing
Anglo-Saxon buildings. In this 1927 book, the different categories
and forms of foliage sculpture and decoration are subdivided
roughly chronologically showing how each form developed from a
previous one and the possible influences and reasoning behind the
changes. Each stage of growth is explored thoroughly using specific
examples, all of which are detailed in the photographs in the
second half of the book. Examples are taken from churches and
cathedrals across England, whose individual architectural growth
over centuries is often in parallel with the evolving forms of
sculpture, particularly gothic foliage. The increased communication
with Europe over the medieval period was mutually influential and
with increased proficiency and innovation there was natural
development of art and gothic sculpture evolved as a living art.
