6. the Tudors and Jacobethan England
6. The Tudors and Jacobethan England History Literature Click here for a Tudor timeline. The royal website includes a history of the Tudor Monarchs [and those prior and post this period]. Art This site will guide you to short articles on the Kings and Queens of the Tudor Music Dynasty. Another general guide to Tudor times can be found here. Architecture Click here for a fuller account of Elizabeth. One of the principle events of the reign of Elizabeth was the defeat of the Spanish Armada (here's the BBC Armada site). Elizabeth's famous (and short) speech before the battle can be found here. England's power grew mightily in this period, which is reflected in the lives and achievements of contemporary 'heroes' such as Sir Francis Drake, fearless fighter against the Spanish who circumnavigated the globe, and Sir Walter Raleigh (nowadays pronounced Rawley), one of those who established the first British colonies across the Atlantic (and who spelt his name in over 40 different ways...). Raleigh is generally 'credited' with the commercial introduction of tobacco into England .about 1778, and possibly of the potato. On a lighter note, information on Elizabethan costume is available here (including such items as farthingales and bumrolls). Literature Drama and the theatre The Elizabethan age is the golden age of English drama, for which the establishment of permanent theatres is not least responsible. As performances left the inn-yards and noble houses for permanent sites in London, the demand for drama increased enormously. While some of the smaller theatres were indoors, it is the purpose-built round/square/polygonal buildings such as The Theatre (the first, built in 1576), the Curtain (late 1570s?), the Rose (1587), the Swan (1595), the Fortune (1600) and of course the Globe (1599) that are most characteristic of the period. -

The Hammer-Beam Roof: Tradition, Innovation and the Carpenter’S Art in Late Medieval England
The Hammer-Beam Roof: Tradition, Innovation and the Carpenter’s Art in Late Medieval England Robert Beech A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Art History, Film and Visual Studies College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis is about late medieval carpenters, their techniques and their art, and about the structure that became the fusion of their technical virtuosity and artistic creativity: the hammer-beam roof. The structural nature and origin of the hammer-beam roof is discussed, and it is argued that, although invented in the late thirteenth century, during the fourteenth century the hammer-beam roof became a developmental dead-end. In the early fifteenth century the hammer-beam roof suddenly blossomed into hundreds of structures of great technical proficiency and aesthetic acumen. The thesis assesses the role of the hammer-beam roof of Westminster Hall as the catalyst to such renewed enthusiasm. This structure is analysed and discussed in detail. -

Approximately 25% of the sites on the national H Register are in the South West region, therefore our Heritage at Risk team and their colleagues are particularly busy helping owners and partners improve the condition of heritage sites such as the Lundy Fog Battery, one of our case studies below. The good news is we have already managed to meet our three-year target, removing 15% of sites from the 2015 baseline Register one year early. -
Sixteenth-Century East Anglian Parish Churches Are Their Open Timber Roofs with Angelic Carvings
Abstract Amongst the most distinctive features of some late-fourteenth-century to mid- sixteenth-century East Anglian parish churches are their open timber roofs with angelic carvings. The relationship between the earliest and most prestigious angel roof at Westminster Hall (c. 1393-9) and these church roofs with carved angels is not straightforward, in terms of either structure or image. Different structural roof types and varied carved angelic representations were concurrent throughout the period, rather than following patterns of linear development. The research has identified connections between patronage and craftsmanship in urban centres and their rural hinterlands. These roofs present a substantial body of previously neglected visual material for investigating the significance of angelic imagery, the liturgy and lay piety in comprehensive representational schemes, often covering the entire nave. Carved angels form, or are attached to, the beam ends or principal timbers, at prayer, or carrying musical instruments, symbols of Christ’s Passion, implements of the Mass or heraldic devices. The distribution of angels had a significant connection to spatial organisation and patterns of activity at ground level. Diverse patterns of attributes were deliberately arranged to guide and affirm multi-sensory lay experience beneath in the nave, their iconography intended as a unified focus for a diverse lay audience, whose participation in the Mass was distinctive and socially important. The research also explores the visual relationships that would have existed between angelic roof programmes and other church art. It has established that there was a deliberate association between nave roof and Rood imagery in a significant group of churches where angels are vested as acolytes. -

1 Gothic Architecture - 4 “WIKIPIDIA READER”
GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE Yenifer Fuentes In highschool i took the calss Art History and instan- tanly became captivated by Gothic Architecture. i have always been a fascinated with the way buildings were built. To me Gothic Architecture is unique and beauti- ful. Usually buildings are palin and square,but a Cathe- dral has so many attributes that capture the eye. For example, the many different designs of the windows are very attractive and colorful. Another attribute i like is the design of the arches on the interior of the Carthedrals. The last reason i picked this topic was because the history keeps engaged and makes me want to learn more about early architecture. 1 Gothic Architecture - 4 “WIKIPIDIA READER” Gothic Architecture From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia “Gothic style” redirects here. For the visual arts, see Gothic art. Gothic architecture is a style of architecture that flourished in Europe during the High and Late middle ages. It evolved from Romanesque architecture and was succeeded by Renaissance architecture. Originat- ing in 12th-century France and lasting into the 16th century, Gothic architecture was known during the period as Opus Francigenum (“French work”) with the term Gothic first appearing during the later part of the Renaissance. Its characteristics include the pointed arch, the ribbed vault (which evolved from the joint vaulting of romanesque architecture) and the flying buttress. Gothic architecture is most familiar as the architecture of many of the great cathedrals, abbeys and churches of Europe. It is also the architecture of many castles, palaces, town halls, guild halls, universities and to a less Façade of Reims Cathedral, France prominent extent, private dwellings, such as dorms and rooms. -
