  • Robert Adam's Engagement with Medieval Architecture
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository A ‘Classical Goth’: Robert Adam’s engagement with medieval architecture PETER N. LINDFIELD Robert Adam’s Grand Tour in 1754–8 had a profound impact upon his understanding of the forms and ornament of Classical architecture. This became manifest after his return to Britain in his country house designs, as, for example, in the south façade of Kedleston Hall, Derbyshire (from c 1760).1 Beyond this elevation’s dynamic advancement and recession of planes, the architecture paraphrases two notable monuments of ancient Rome: the Arch of Constantine and the Pantheon. Kedleston’s interior, including its celebrated Saloon, was equally responsive to antique forms, and the tour’s impact upon Adam in the shaping of his eponymous neoclassical style is explored elsewhere in this volume. The vast majority of Adam’s country house architecture – from the remodelling of existing homes like Osterley Park, Middlesex (1763–80), through to the creation of new structures such as Witham Park, Somerset (1762–70) – was neoclassical.2 Indeed, of his realised work, only three of his 89 known country estate commissions were overtly Gothic, and all were south of the border: the interior of the Church of St Mary Magdalene, Croome d’Abitot, at Croome Court, Worcestershire (1763); the Round Room at Strawberry Hill, Twickenham (1766–7); and his work for the Duke of Northumberland at Alnwick – namely the interiors for Alnwick Castle (c 1770–80) and its associated Gothic eye-catcher, Brizlee Tower, Hulne Park (1777–83).
