York Minster's Chapter House and Its Painted Glass Narratives
York Minster’s Chapter House and its Painted Glass Narratives Volume 1 of 3 Ann Hilary Moxon PhD University of York History of Art December 2017 Abstract This thesis focuses on the late thirteenth-century narrative glazing scheme of the chapter house in York Minster and the political and religious context of its design. Created as an intrinsic and integrated part of one of the most elaborate and important buildings in the period, the glass has suffered interventions affecting both its appearance and the positions of its narrative panels. By examining the glass in the context of contemporary visual and textual material, it has been possible to reconstruct the original order of the panels and to identify the selection of episodes the lives of the saints, some for the first time. The study has demonstrated the extent to which the iconography was rooted in liturgy and theology relevant to the period which, in turn, reflected the priorities of a dominant group among the active members of Chapter for whose use the building was constructed and, by extension, the contemporary Church. Further, the glass shows strong Mariological themes which reflected features in the rest of the decorative scheme and the architecture of the chapter house, indicating that the glazing scheme may have been conceived as part of the architectural whole. The conclusions are supported by parallel research into the prosopography of the contemporary Chapter which additionally suggests that the conception of the programme may have had its roots in the baronial wars of the -

JSAH Manuscript
The British discovery of Spanish Gothic architecture Iñigo Basarrate During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it was not uncommon for British artists and architects to travel to France and Italy; very few, however, ventured into Spain, which was considered a decadent and dangerous country.1 In contrast, the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth- centuries witnessed a growing number of British travellers to Spain. Spain was, of course, not part of the British colonial agenda, which, according to Edward Said, had driven British scholars' attention to the lands of Islam from the eighteenth-century onwards.2 The increase of British interest in Spain was partly due to the Peninsular War (1808-1814), in which British and Spanish soldiers joined forces against Napoleon’s occupying army.3 The British intellectual interest in Spain was tainted by the increasing Romantic fascination with the 'exotic' that swept across Europe in the early nineteenth-century; in this scenario, many were attracted by the monumental heritage of al-Andalus (the Spanish territories under Islam, 711-1492). Spain with its remarkable Islamic artistic heritage, especially in Granada, Cordoba, and Seville, became attractive as the most accessible place for British travellers to get a flavour of the so-called 'Orient'.4 Although during most of the nineteenth-century, the British fascination for the Alhambra and an idealised Islamic Spain continued, there also arose a growing curiosity for the buildings erected in territories under the gradually expanding Christian rule. This article will focus on the gradual discovery of Spanish Romanesque and Gothic architecture by British architects and architectural historians in the nineteenth century. -
Portland Place
DRAFT CHAPTER 17 Portland Place With its exceptional width and Adam architecture, Portland Place was one of the outstanding developments of its day, and despite extensive and often insensitive change remains one of London’s most memorable streets. Among the many post-Adam buildings, Broadcasting House and the headquarters of the Royal Institute of British Architects, both dating from the 1930s, are of major national significance. Though the Adams’ scheme for terraces of spacious and highly sophisticated townhouses was to be fully realized in Portland Place, it was not matched by financial rewards, and from a business point of view came close to disaster. The brothers’ involvement locally covered much more than just Portland Place, notably Mansfield Street, where their development began in the late 1760s, while land to either side of Portland Place was built up by others working under them, including large parts of Devonshire, New Cavendish, Hallam and Great Portland Streets – and a short stretch of Harley Street (see Ill. 17.3). But Portland Place was where the Adams’ energies and architectural flair were chiefly concentrated. Nash’s additions at either end – Park Crescent, Upper Regent Street and Langham Place (including the later Langham Hotel) – are discussed in succeeding chapters. For a century Portland Place was one of London’s most exclusive residential streets. But the big, expensive-to-run houses had lost their appeal by the early 1900s, when taller blocks of flats, often in a Beaux-Arts style, began to take their place. Subdivision and medical use, resisted at first by the Portland Estate, saved some; others have survived as legations and embassies. -

University of York History of Art ! September 2015 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !2 Abstract ! The period between 1899 and 1965 was a particularly fertile one as regards the architecture and ceremonial of the Church of England. A movement calling itself the English Use arose seeking to revive the aesthetics of the late middle ages and using the Ornaments Rubric of the Book of Common Prayer as its authority. Led by scholars such as Vernon Staley and Percy Dearmer, and supported by a host of publications, including those of the Alcuin Club, this movement brought about a transformation in the manner of performance of the ceremonies of worship according to the Prayer Book. The work of architects like Ninian Comper, Temple Moore, and Charles Nicholson and stained glass designers such as J.N.C. Bewsey contributed the appropriate visual context. Alongside this visual shift came a change in the sound-world of Anglican worship, prompted by the publication of The English Hymnal and various supplements to worship which emphasised plainchant and a revived English choral tradition. The end result of the English Use movement was to transform the worship of the Church of England, creating a distinctive approach to liturgy and art which was only eclipsed in the later 1960s when clergy such as Peter Hammond and architects such as Maguire & Murray began to question the received -
