Gothic 4: The Forgotten Age 1536 – 1836
Description
Gothic 4:
The Forgotten Age, 1536-1836
Dinner Friday 17 – Lunch Sunday 19 January
For three hundred years Gothic architecture would play second fiddle to the evolution of the Tudor, Elizabethan and Jacobean Renaissance, then the influence of French and Dutch styles. Finally the eighteenth century would see wave after wave of Classicism, which was inspired by the Grand Tour. Yet Gothic architecture never disappeared. New churches were built, old ones repaired. Then in the middle of the eighteenth century the ‘Gothick’ style emerged bringing with it a renewed interest in the Medieval period. The 1818 Church Building Act and the strong criticism levelled at the ‘Commissioner Gothic style, would lead to the Gothic Revival of the 19th century.
