This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ...sporadic, just as was the church-rebuilding movement. Both were commonest in those parts of England where there was peace and prosperity, great tracts of England where the Wars of the Roses hardly penetrated; where the staple was wool, where the farmer was rich because of the high price of wool, where the weaver and merchant were rich with weaving and trading in wool, and where people thought nothing too good for their religion and their church. Many of the screens of the first part of the sixteenth century are particularly interesting, for they illustrate charmingly the battle between the Romanticists and the Classicists, Gothic and Renaissance. They naturally fall into two classes: those which are purely Gothic still, a very large class, and those which have a delightful intermixture of Gothic and Renaissance. In the latter, just as in the chantry tombs of the Countess of Salisbury at Christchurch and of the Delawarrs at Broadwater and Boxgrove, and the chantry chapel of Bishop West at Ely, the whole of the constructional members retain Gothic forms; it is only in the minor detail that classical ornament appears. As is well known, the Early Renaissance movement in England was entirely due to Italian artists who came over at the request of Henry VIII., Cardinal Wolsey, Lord Marney, and other travelled members of the Court, and their work is practically confined to the South of England. Some of them certainly reached Devonshire, for there "The screen at South Walsingham bears the date 1538."--W. D. t Measured drawings in the Spring Gardens Sketch Book of Acle screen, viii. 14; Cawston screen, vii. 3 to 6; Totnes screen, ii. 38; Ludham screen, iv. 68; Addlethorpe screen, vi. 51; Hawton, Notts, v. 43 and 44; Luton, Beds, v. 56 and 57; and i...
