Edward Schroder Prior designed the cathedral of the Arts and Crafts
Movement (St Andrew's Church, Roker), perfected the popular
butterfly plan in his houses, and published what is still the
seminal work on medieval gothic art in England in 1900. Highly
regarded by critics such as Ian Nairn, Prior is sometimes
considered to have narrowly missed out on a place in the
architectural pantheon of his age, alongside contemporaries such as
Charles Voysey and William Lethaby. The result of extensive
archival and field research, Edward Prior - Arts and Crafts
Architect sheds new light on Prior's architecture, life and
scholarship. Extensively illustrated, it showcases Prior's work in
colour, including many of his architectural drawings and
photographs of most of his extant buildings. Prior is the missing
link of the Arts and Crafts Movement, in both a theoretical and a
practical sense, as he was possibly the only practitioner who
genuinely translated the artistic theories of Ruskin and Morris
into architectural reality. He went on to found the School of
Architecture at the University of Cambridge in 1912.
