Originally published in 1849, this is a detailed study of roof
structures, including aesthetic details of churches of the Middle
Ages in England. The illustrations are highly detailed drawings of
open timber roofs, with measurements, enlarged decorative details,
etc. of tie-beam, trussed rafter, hammer beam and collar braced
roofs. The work presents working drawings of no fewer than 35
church roofs. The authors were architects who visited many of the
remaining specimens, and selected for illustration those roofs
which appeared most worthy of remark, as well as for the excellence
of their framing and design, as for affording specimens of the
various methods of discussion. Of these the authors have furnished
geometrical and perspective drawings from careful measurements
taken by themselves.
