    ; AN ATTEMPT TO DISCRIMINATE THE STYLES OF Cnglts!) RxtUtzttvivt, FROM THE Conquest to the Reformation Preceded by A SKETCH of THE GRECIAN and ROMAN ORDERS, with NOTICES OF NEARLY FIVE HUNDRED ENGLISH BUILDINGS. By THOMAS RICKMAN, Member of the Literary and Philosophical Societies of Liverpool and Chester. LONDON, PUBLISHED BY LONGMAN, HURST, REES, ORME, AND BROWN, PATERNOSTER-ROW; AND SOLD BY THE BOOKSELLERS IN GENERAL. ©tttmfc at Stationers' &all. preface* outline of the present essay was written by the Author for Smith's " Panorama of Science and Art," and published in that work some years ago, but having been frequently requested to enlarge and republish it, he has now performed that task, and has subjoined a copious list of buildings for the student's instruction. The object of the present publication has been to furnish, at a price which shall not present an obstacle to extensive circulation, such a view of the principles of Architecture, more particularly that of the British Isles, as may not only be placed with advantage in the hands of the rising generation, but also afford the guardians of our ecclesiastical edifices such clear discriminative remarks on the buildings now existing, as may enable them to judge with considerable accuracy of the restorations necessary to be made in those venerable edifices that are under their peculiar care ; and also, by leading them to the study of such as still remain in a perfect state, to render them more capable of deciding on the various designs for churches in imita- tion of the English styles, which may be presented to their choice.

  • The Major New BBC1 Series – 'How We Built Britain' Looks at the History of the Country Through Our Buildings
    How we Built Britain The BBC1 series – ‘How we Built Britain’ (shown Summer 2007) looked at the history of the country through our buildings. The first programme featured the East of England region – which abounds in outstanding examples of architecture. From Britain’s greatest collection of cathedrals to the award-winning terminal at Stansted Airport. Discover flint and timber buildings, and stately homes dating from Tudor to Victorian times. Over the next few pages we have listed a selection of key places to visit - check out our web site at www.visiteastofengland.com for opening times and admission prices. Architecture of the Region Building stone is virtually non-existent in the East of England, apart from a few special areas: z Barnack (Cambridgeshire) - the famous limestone here was worked from Roman times to the end of the 15th C. Ely and Peterborough Cathedrals are good examples of the stone in use. z Carstone (West Norfolk) - this dark brown stone forms a ridge between Castle Rising and Heacham. It has been widely used in the area as a building stone, and Downham Market was once known as the "Gingerbread town". z Puddingstone (Hertfordshire) - this unusual stone is made up of rounded Flint villages flint pebbles. A large piece sits opposite the church in the village of Standon. It has been used for building walls. z Sandstone - The Greensand Ridge runs from Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire to Gamlingay in Cambridgeshire. In some places, ‘glauconite’ (an iron-bearing mineral) colours the stone an amazing green - the origin of the name ‘Greensand’. Today you can see it used in local villages, churches, walls and bridges.
