A compact primer by the Oxford antiquary who did much to fix the names of the English styles. Parker walks through the early Norman and Norman periods, the Transition, Early English, Decorated and Perpendicular, showing how arches, windows, doorways, piers and mouldings changed from reign to reign, with dated examples from parish churches and cathedrals.
Still a handy companion for anyone who likes to read the history in an old church’s stonework. Download the free EPUB.
