The text of this volume comprises the Chichele Lectures of 1986 on the architectural history of All Souls College. Beginning with a discussion of the college's foundation by Archbishop Chichele in 1438 and the construction of the original medieval buildings, Howard Colvin lays considerablestress on the model afforded by the earlier foundation of New College. He goes on to consider the college's neo-gothic expansion in the early eighteenth century, and the great building work of Nicholas Hawksmoor. Finally, John Simmons discusses the changes that occurred in the eighteenth andnineteenth centuries, and looks in particular at the alterations to the chapel made by Gilbert Scott in the 1870s. This first architectural history of one of Oxford's most famous colleges is lavishly illustrated throughout, and contains several appendices.

Download The Reredos of All Souls College Oxford Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Pevsner calls it 'marvellous'. Yet the reredos of the fi fteenth-century chapel of All Souls College, Oxford, with its combination of medieval niches and statuary by George Gilbert Scott, has remained one of the unsung glories of both medieval perpendicular architecture and Victorian restoration. Informed by recent scientifi c investigation of its stonework and its surviving medieval polychromy, this volume traces for the fi rst time the entire history of the reredos in its architectural and religious context - from the phases of its medieval and early Tudor construction, through its covering up with a succession of baroque and neoclassical decorative schemes, to its uncovering andrestoration in the 1870s. The book provides a novel and revealing vantage point on the artistic, cultural and ecclesiological history of Britain across four centuries.

Download Modern Architecture in an Oxford College Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book is a detailed historical study of the post-war architecture of St John's College, Oxford. In the sixty years since 1945 St John's has been one of the major patrons of modern architecture in Oxford and Cambridge, commissioning a series of innovative and successful buildings from a sequence of leading architectural practices (Architects Co-Partnership, Arup Associates, MacCormac Jamieson Pritchard). The college's modern buildings epitomise changing architectural ideas and practice over the last sixty years, from the neo-Georgianism of the immediate post-war years through the confident modernism of the late 1950s to the 1970s, to the post-modernism of more recent years. Geoffrey Tyack discusses these buildings in detail, with the help of copious illustrations, placing each building within the context of its architect's oeuvre and relating it to the changing character of Oxford University. It is thus intended to be a contribution to the understanding both of modern collegiate architecture and of reent English architectural in general. Publication will coincide with the 450th anniversary of the foundation of St John's College.
