Cathedral Architecture

	Lichfield Cathedral
Established	1340

by Nicholas Johnson

Abstract

This project was about the styles of the many churches around the country. I visited several of these to get a first person experience of them and photos. After outlining what makes each of Norman, Decorated Gothic, and Perpendicular Gothic styles unique, the photos that I have taken are then the basis for illustrating those differences between the styles found within the same building. This area of study is something different for me as I have only taken the 20th Century American Foreign Relations course at WPI which is History, none in Art or Architecture. My major takeaway from this milestone is the effort put forth by the architects and builders who so eloquently decorated these churches/cathedrals for all to see. The detail is just incredible to see and cannot be found just anywhere.

Introduction

This project covers what makes each architectural style chosen unique and then illustrates the differences between the styles found within the same building through photographs. The three styles chosen were European and English while at the same time having unique aspects to differentiate them. The three that I chose to examine were Norman, Decorated Gothic, and Perpendicular Gothic. It is important to show the different styles and what makes them distinct while also observing how each one influences the others. As new Bishops wanted to make their mark on the church/cathedral or sometimes portions were damaged in a war, multiple styles were included in a single building. This presents a unique look at the different styles within the same structure and interested me enough to research for my deliverable. This was my first immersive experience in architecture so it was a learning experience along the way.

Section 1: Background

Norman

Norman Architecture is a subcategory of the Romanesque style along with Anglo-Saxon. The Anglo-Saxon period came to an end in England when The Normans attacked in 1066 from western Europe.^[3] The key item that made both of these belong to Romanesque was the semi-circular arch. These semi-circular arches were used in doorways, window frames, vaults, and arcades. Previously, the Anglo-Saxon churches were tall, narrow buildings with quite thin walls, but this changed with the Norman style. The Norman style was built in contrast to this with the churches being built with a wide base and the thick walls.^[4]

Arch Design^[5]

Norman Architecture began in approximately 1060 and roughly lasted through the year 1190.^[6] These years are an estimate that is widely accepted as there is always overlap in changing styles. The Norman style took many cues from the Romans to include in their style. The main one being the semi-circular arch and its design. The semi-circular arch at its time was revolutionary, as it was able to suspend massive loads over an open area. This was due to its design which included several key parts, voussoirs and the key-stone. The voussoirs were the wedge shaped stones that made up the arch passing the load to the next outer stone. The key-stone is the central stone in the arch and locks all the stones of the structure into place.^[7] In addition to the semi-circular arches, some of the key characteristics included in Norman architecture were large cylindrical pillars, vaulting and small windows.^[8] The windows in Norman churches were quite small, so to allow the maximum amount of light through them a distinctive technique was used. This technique is known as splaying, which is where the inside or outside of the window is wider than the middle of the window.^[9] Another characteristic, vaulting, when used, was sometimes made of wood but, was usually made of stone. When it was made of wood the vaulting was quite flat. When stone was utilized, it was constructed in a round arch shape. ^[10] As the year 1200 approached, the semi-circular arch gave way to the pointed arch which began the Gothic style and marked an end for the Romanesque style.

Notable Norman Style Cathedrals/Chapels and their History^[11]

Rochester Cathedral - The second oldest cathedral in England, having been founded in 604. The Nave, parts of the crypt and facades were built in the Norman architecture. Later additions to the cathedral because of fire damage were made in the Gothic style which included the Quire and the roof of the Nave.^[12]
St. John's Chapel at The White Tower - St. John's Chapel was built inside the White Tower and because of this is very well preserved with no remodeling like many of the other cathedrals. The only major change is the loss of paint on the walls. It was built during the overlap of the Anglo-saxon period and the Norman period. As it was finished during the Norman period it exhibits more Norman architecture than Anglo-saxon.^[13]
Gloucester Cathedral - The site originally was an Anglo-saxon religious house that was built in 678, but was removed for the new Norman abbey that began construction in 1089. In 1327, the east end was remodeled in the Perpendicular style. In the 1400s, the west end, south porch, and tower were remodeled also in the Perpendicular style.^[14]

Decorated Gothic

Decorated Gothic is a subcategory of the Gothic style along with Perpendicular and Early English. The Gothic style's key element that united them was the pointed arch. This large transformation from the semi-circular arch to the pointed arch began around 1200 but the Decorated Gothic style began in 1250 with the addition of several key modifications and lasted until 1360.^[15] This style also has been divided into two subcategories known as Geometric and Curvilinear. Geometric spanned from 1250 to 1315, while Curvilinear covered 1315 to 1360.^[16] The Geometric period was focused on the circle which was mainly used in the tracery, stonework elements that supported the glass, but could also be found elsewhere. The Curvilinear period reduced or stopped its use of the circle, but introduced the Ogee and used it extensively.^[17]

Lierne Vault at Ely Cathedral^[18]

Ball Flower^[19]

As Gothic Architecture evolved, distinctive patterns began to emerge. In regards to the Decorated style, as the name suggests, it involved extensive use of decorative elements. Several of these distinctive elements that made up the Decorated Gothic style include windows with mullions, elegant tracery of the very large windows including trefoils and quatrefoils, and vault ribbing.^[20] Compared to the previous Early English period the large windows became wider in proportion to their height.^[21] Later decorated styles expanded upon the ribbed vaulting by adding small ribs called liernes between other ribs. The architects formed geometrical shapes with these liernes that kept with the style.^[22] At the intersection of these ribs bosses, elaborately carved ornaments, began to be used here in the Decorated period.^[23] Another important decorative element that added to the aesthetic was the ball flower.^[24] The ball flower was a partially opened flower carved into a sphere. All of these distinctive elements accumulated to make the Decorated Gothic style which created some amazing buildings, but as time went on the Decorated style gave way to the Perpendicular style which is explained below.

Notable Decorated Gothic Style Cathedrals/Chapels and their History^[25]

Lichfield Cathedral - The original cathedral on the Lichfield site was of Anglo-saxon design in 700. In 1066, the Normans built a new cathedral in their Norman architecture. In 1340, it was again rebuilt, this time in the Gothic style.^[26]
Exeter Cathedral - In 1050, a cathedral of Anglo-saxon design was built at the Exeter site. In 1114, work began on a new cathedral of Norman design which began use in 1133. In 1270, parts of the existing Norman structure were demolished for construction to begin on the Decorated Gothic cathedral which was completed in 1342.^[27]
York Cathedral - Originally on the site there were several Anglo-saxon churches over time which were replaced when the Normans invaded. In 1080 construction began on the Norman church. In 1170, the Quire was replaced and a pair of towers were built. In 1220, the building expanded even further with the addition of two Transepts in the Early English style. In 1291, the Nave was replaced with one in the Decorated Gothic style. In 1394, the Quire was again replaced, this time with the Perpendicular style.^[28]

Perpendicular Gothic

Pointed Arch vs. Four-centered Arch^[29]

Perpendicular Gothic, also known as the Rectilinear Period, followed directly after the Decorated Gothic period. It began in 1360 and lasted until 1550.^[30] It was thought that the simplification introduced, compared to the Decorated Gothic style, was due to the Black Plague and its effects on the labor force in England. This idea was proven incorrect with Gloucester Abbey's south window and Old St. Paul's cloister remains. One idea as to why decorations were scaled back was that it was for cutting costs, but that is just a possible reason and the real reason may never be known.^[31]

This style, Perpendicular, belonged to the Gothic style and utilized pointed arches extensively. Perpendicular built upon the Decorated Gothic style in some aspects, and scaled back in others. A key area of scaling back occurred with the reduced tracery of the windows, while Perpendicular kept the large windows. One of the main differences that was introduced was an emphasis on vertical lines, especially the mullions of the windows, which were thinner than previously used ones.^[32] Commonly crossing the mullions in Perpendicular are transoms, a horizontal crossbar in a window.^[33] A change to the arch also came with this new style. The pointed arch gave way to a slightly flatter arch called the four-centered arch. This new arch was utilized alongside the existing pointed arch in the Perpendicular style. Vaulting was also expanded with this period and became more complex than previous styles; during this period it was known as fan vaulting. Overall this style was not a revolution but an evolution, building upon the previous Gothic styles.

Notable Perpendicular Gothic Style Cathedrals/Chapels and their History^[34]

Winchester Cathedral - The Winchester Cathedral has had many styles added to it throughout the years. The original building was of Norman architecture built in 1079, while the crypt and transepts are all that remain of this building. In the early 1200s, an Early English retrochoir was built at the east end. In the 1300s, the Norman presbytery was replaced with a Decorated Gothic design. Finally, the Nave during the 1300s and 1400s was replaced with the Perpendicular Gothic style.^[35]
Westminster Abbey - In 1065, a church of Norman architecture was built. Work began in 1220 to replace the church but funds were not available. When funds were gathered by 1272, work on the Quire and a small part of the Nave were completed in the Decorated Gothic style. Funds again ran out and were not gathered until the end of the 14th century. To have architectural unity the design was continued, although slightly modified, for the rest of the Nave. In 1503, construction began on the Henry VII chapel using the Perpendicular style and was completed in 1519, replacing the 13th century chapel.^[36]
Manchester Cathedral - The original building was an Anglo-saxon church from 700. In 1215, the church was rebuilt in the Norman style adjacent to the original site. In 1422, the Quire was rebuilt in the Perpendicular Gothic style. In 1465, the Nave was then rebuilt in the Perpendicular style.^[37]

Section 2: Deliverable

For my Deliverable I utilized my background information about the Norman, Decorated Gothic, and Perpendicular Gothic styles to compare the different styles found within the same church/cathedral. As the architectural eras overlap and buildings are added onto or partially rebuilt, multiple styles are found within the same structure. Below I utilize photos taken of the buildings to illustrate those differences of styles. I traveled to the churches/cathedrals and took most of the photos myself, but some locations do not allow photos inside due to them being a working church so they are the official photos from the church/cathedral.

Winchester Cathedral

Arch Design

Norman
Decorated Gothic
Perpendicular Gothic

As can be seen above, in the Norman section of Winchester Cathedral, the arches consist of the semi-circular design, which is a characteristic of this style. This is in contrast to the distinctly pointed arches that are found in the Decorated Gothic and Perpendicular Gothic sections of the Cathedral. The Decorated Arches were found in the presbytery which had a remodel commissioned by Bishop Henry Woodcock in the 1300s. The Perpendicular Arches, found in the Nave, were designed by William Wynford and were completed under the guidance of several Bishops in the 14th and 15th Centuries.^[38]

Vaulting

Norman
Decorated Gothic

In the North Transept of the Cathedral, the Norman style vaulting was a flat wood surface as can be seen above. This was a part of the original cathedral commissioned by Bishop Walkelin in 1079. In the presbytery, built in the Decorated Gothic style, the breathtaking Lierne Vaulting can be found. The liernes connecting the larger ribs and eloquently carved bosses at the intersection of the ribs are distinct and unique to this style. Bishop Henry Woodcock commissioned this presbytery to be built in the 1300s.^[39]

Window Design

Norman
Perpendicular Gothic

As can be seen above, there is quite a stark contrast between the window design of the Norman and Perpendicular Gothic styles. The Norman window, found in the North Transept, is quite small compared to the massive Perpendicular window. At the top of the Norman window the semi-circular arch that is found throughout the style, that was used in 1079 when it was built, is visible, this is in contrast to the pointed arch, located in the Nave, that is found at the top of the Perpendicular window. Also noticeable is the mullions that run top to bottom of the very tall Perpendicular window, crossed by the transoms.^[40]

Westminster Abbey

Arch Design

Decorated Gothic
Perpendicular Gothic

As can be seen above, the Decorated Gothic Nave of Westminster Abbey utilizes the pointed arch for its windows. This section of the Abbey, built in 1220, was overseen by Henry of Reyns, John of Gloucester and Robert of Beverley, but work had to stop because of a lack of funds. In 1272, Abbot Nicholas Litlyngton continued the structure using the original designs when more money became available. In contrast to this, the Perpendicular Henry VII chapel utilizes the four-centered arch in its design. The four-centered arch is a slightly flatter arch and a design sketch of the differences can be found in the Perpendicular background section. This latter section of the Abbey was built between 1503 and 1519, designed by Robert Janyns and William Vertue.^[41]

Window Design

Decorated Gothic^[42]
Perpendicular Gothic

In the Decorated style, circles were used extensively. The large circular window seen above was located in the North transept of Westminster Abbey, part of the Decorated style section. This section was completed in 1269 after having been overseen by master masons Henry of Reyns, John of Gloucester and Robert of Beverley. The Perpendicular style window, located in the Henry VII chapel, uses large vertical windows with thin mullions and transoms. This section of the Abbey was designed by Robert Janyns and William Vertue, and built between 1503 and 1519 to replace the 13th century chapel.^[43]

Vaulting

Decorated Gothic^[44]
Perpendicular Gothic^[45]

During the Decorated Gothic style period, ribbed vaults were the style of Vaulting that was used. The Vaulting seen above is from the west section of the Nave that was built in 1272. In contrast to that, the Perpendicular style used Fan Vaulting. This Fan Vaulting located in the Henry VII chapel was significantly more complex in its radiating pattern as can be seen in the images above. This section of the Abbey was designed by Robert Janyns and William Vertue, and built between 1503 and 1519.^[46]

Conclusion

Overall, this project has provided a background of three distinct architectural styles, Norman, Decorated Gothic, and Perpendicular Gothic. The background described many of the distinct qualities of each style. Some of these included arch style, amount of decorative elements, and Vaulting. The Deliverable took these differences and illustrated them through photographs of a building that had multiple styles present. As this study only included styles up until the mid 1500s a future project would be studying styles moving forward into the 1600s and beyond.

-The paragraph should give a three to five sentence abstract about your entire London HUA experience including 1) a summary of the aims of your project, 2) your prior experience with humanities and arts courses and disciplines, and 3) your major takeaways from the experience. This can and should be very similar to the paragraph you use to summarize this milestone on your [[Template Profile|Profile Page]]. It should contain your main '''Objective''', so be sure to clearly state a one-sentence statement that summarizes your main objective for this milestone such as "a comparison of the text of Medieval English choral music to that of the Baroque" or it may be a question such as "to what extent did religion influence Christopher Wren's sense of design?"
+This project was about the styles of the many churches around the country. I visited several of these to get a first person experience of them and photos. After outlining what makes each of Norman, Decorated Gothic, and Perpendicular Gothic styles unique, the photos that I have taken are then the basis for illustrating those differences between the styles found within the same building. This area of study is something different for me as I have only taken the 20th Century American Foreign Relations course at WPI which is History, none in Art or Architecture.

Remember: the idea is to have equip your milestone with a really solid background and then some sort of "thing that you do". You'll need to add in some narrative to describe why you did the "thing that you did", which you'd probably want to do anyway. You can make it easy for your advisors to give you a high grade by ensuring that your project milestone work reflects careful, considerate, and comprehensive thought and effort in terms of your background review, and insightful, cumulative, and methodical approaches toward the creative components of your project milestone deliverables.

The main one being the semi-circular arch and its design. The semi-circular arch at its time was revolutionary, as it was able to suspend massive loads over an open area. This was due to its design which included several key parts, voussoirs and the key-stone. The voussoirs were the wedge shaped stones that made up the arch passing the load to the next outer stone. The key-stone is the central stone in the arch and locks all the stones of the structure into place.<ref>Gardner, S (1925). "A Guide to English Gothic Architecture".

This idea was proven incorrect with Gloucester Abbey's south window and Old St. Paul's cloister remains. One idea as to why decorations were scaled back was that it was for cutting costs, but that is just a possible reason and the real reason may never be known.<ref>Harvet, J (1978).

+This style, Perpendicular, belonged to the Gothic style and utilized pointed arches extensively.  Perpendicular built upon the Decorated Gothic style in some aspects, and scaled back in others.  A key area of scaling back occurred with the reduced tracery of the windows, while Perpendicular kept the large windows. One of the main differences that was introduced was an emphasis on vertical lines, especially the [[mullions]] of the windows, which were thinner than previously used ones.<ref>Harvet, J (1978). "The Perpendicular Style". B.T. Batsford LTD., pp. 27-28.</ref> Commonly crossing the mullions in Perpendicular are transoms, a horizontal crossbar in a window.<ref>Gardner, S (1925). "A Guide to English Gothic Architecture". Cambridge University Press, pp. 6,33.</ref> A change to the arch also came with this new style. The pointed arch gave way to a slightly flatter arch called the four-centered arch. This new arch was utilized alongside the existing pointed arch in the Perpendicular style. [[Vaulting]] was also expanded with this period and became more complex than previous styles; during this period it was known as [[Vaulting | fan vaulting]]. Overall this style was not a revolution but an evolution, building upon the previous Gothic styles.

-Pictures (as many ones taken by me as possible) illustrating the differences between the styles, as well as a description explaining the key differences.
+For my Deliverable I utilized my background information about the Norman, Decorated Gothic, and Perpendicular Gothic styles to compare the different styles found within the same church/cathedral. As the architectural eras overlap and buildings are added onto or partially rebuilt, multiple styles are found within the same structure. Below I utilize photos taken of the buildings to illustrate those differences of styles. I traveled to the churches/cathedrals and took most of the photos myself, but some locations do not allow photos inside due to them being a working church so they are the official photos from the church/cathedral.

+As can be seen above, in the Norman section of Winchester Cathedral, the arches consist of the semi-circular design, which is a characteristic of this style. This is in contrast to the distinctly pointed arches that are found in the Decorated Gothic and Perpendicular Gothic sections of the Cathedral. The Decorated Arches were found in the presbytery which had a remodel commissioned by Bishop Henry Woodcock in the 1300s.

In 1272, Abbot Nicholas Litlyngton continued the structure using the original designs when more money became available. In contrast to this, the Perpendicular Henry VII chapel utilizes the four-centered arch in its design.

+During the Decorated Gothic style period, ribbed vaults were the style of Vaulting that was used. The Vaulting seen above is from the west section of the Nave that was built in 1272. In contrast to that, the Perpendicular style used Fan Vaulting. This Fan Vaulting located in the Henry VII chapel was significantly more complex in its radiating pattern as can be seen in the images above.

 =Conclusion=
 <br>
-In this section, provide a summary or recap of your work, as well as potential areas of further inquiry (for yourself, future students, or other researchers).
+Overall, this project has provided a background of three distinct architectural styles, Norman, Decorated Gothic, and Perpendicular Gothic. The background described many of the distinct qualities of each style. Some of these included arch style, amount of decorative elements, and [[Vaulting]]. The Deliverable took these differences and illustrated them through photographs of a building that had multiple styles present. As this study only included styles up until the mid 1500s a future project would be studying styles moving forward into the 1600s and beyond.
