Excellently framed and designed, with bold, receding arches, the open timber roofs of the medieval period featured massive moldings, carved timbers, and intricate tracery. Today, these roofs are recognized for their striking beauty, rich ornamentation, and the consummate skills of the carpenters and builders who crafted them. This excellent reproduction of a rare nineteenth-century volume includes numerous full-page illustrations and construction details revealing a wealth of information on the major roof styles (tie-beam, trussed rafter, hammer-beam, and collar-braced) of medieval English churches. More than 50 illustrations of 34 English churches are included, among them the exquisite double hammer-beam roof of Knapton Church in Norwich, the richly ornamented roof over Trinity Chapel, Cirencester Church, in Gloucestershire, and the magnificent roof over Wymondham Church, in Norfolk, in which hammer-beams, boldly projecting into the nave, are exquisitely carved into figures of angels with expanding wings. These and many more masterly constructions are captured in the authors' own geometric and perspective drawings (done on-site), superbly reproduced here in detailed, highly accurate engravings. In addition to a wealth of pictorial detail, the authors also provide an informative general introduction to the major types of roof construction, as well as expert commentary on each individual roof, describing its distinguishing characteristics, ornament, measurements, and other details. Artists and illustrators will prize these beautifully rendered plates for their beauty and detail, while architects, antiquarians, and lovers of things medieval will appreciate the authenticity of the plates and the knowledgeable commentary of the architect-authors.

Excerpt from The Open Timber Roofs of the Middle Ages: Illustrated by Perspective and Working Drawings of Some of the Best Varieties of Church Roofs; With Descriptive Letter-Press The conviction that, of the various branches of Ecclesiastical Architecture, the Open Timber Roofs of our ancient Churches had received the smallest portion of attention, induced us to undertake its investigation; most of the other parts of a sacred edifice present an inviting field to the artist and amateur, and we have to acknowledge many beautiful and valuable treatises from their hands: the subject of the present work, however, affords little such attraction, and, indeed, appears particularly appertaining to the province of the Architect, from whom alone could be expected that research into the constructive features which necessarily claim the devotion of much time and application. The urgency of a close inquiry will be at once manifest, when it is considered how valuable these excellent models must be to us, not so much for servile imitation, as to show the spirit with which the Medieval Architects always sought to give to necessary construction the most beautiful forms; how far they succeeded is seen in their universally admired works: let us imitate their example in our new churches, where vaulting is generally impossible, and rarely even desirable.
