There are a number of worthy books dealing specifically with church architecture in Ireland. However, there is no single volume telling the story of the churches and cathedrals of the Church of Ireland, and the aim of this book is to fill that gap. In 2000 there were approximately 1100 churches still open for worship (650 in the Republic and 450 in Northern Ireland). These range from the medieval cathedrals and ancient parish churches in the care of the Church of Ireland since the Reformation to the medley of new churches built in eastern Ulster during the second half of the twentieth century. Except for the medieval period it is not possible to include them all, but a brief description of those chosen is possible, and as a result the large cathedrals receive more or less the same space as an interesting but little-known country church. The former are, in any event, already well documented. The book is lavishly illustrated with colour photographs. Many of these churches, especially in the Republic, are memorials to a civilisation and way of life that no longer exist.The Anglo-Irish aristocracy in the eighteenth, nineteenth and early twentieth centuries had their faults but lack of taste was rarely one of them, and this is reflected in the many lovely churches handed down to us. Not all are beautiful, but even the plainest frequently has a certain charm -- not least because of its location. Where known, the date of consecration (or completion) and the name of the architect of each church are indicated. Until about the middle of the eighteenth century the architect is rarely known and this is also true of those churches built in the early nineteenth century, which form the nucleus of those still in use.

Great spires designed in the Gothic era continue to dominate the skylines of many European cities even today. With their great height and complex detailing, spires like those of Chartres, Strasbourg, Vienna, and Antwerp, and their more recently completed cousins at Cologne and Ulm, rank among the most fantastic products of the medieval architectural imagination. This book traces the development of this major monument type from its pre-Gothic roots through its post-medieval reception, with particular emphasis on the flowering of spire construction in the late Middle Ages. Along the way, it explores the complex layering of religious and political significations in these ambitious projects.

The flowering of Gothic architecture depended to a striking extent on the use of drawing as a tool of design. By drawing precise "blueprints" with simple tools such as the compass and straightedge, Gothic draftsmen were able to develop a linearized architecture of unprecedented complexity and sophistication. Examination of their surviving drawings can provide valuable and remarkably intimate information about the Gothic design process. Gothic drawings include compass pricks, uninked construction lines, and other telltale traces of the draftsman's geometrically based working method. The proportions of the drawings, moreover, are those actually intended by the designer, uncompromised by errors introduced in the construction process. All of these features make these drawings ideal subjects for the study of Gothic design practice, but their geometry has to date received little systematic attention. This book offers a new perspective on Gothic architectural creativity. It shows, in a series of rigorous geometrical case studies, how Gothic design evolved over time, in two senses: in the hours of the draftsman's labor, and across the centuries of the late Middle Ages. In each case study, a series of computer graphics show in unprecedented detail how a medieval designer could have developed his architectural concept step by step, using only basic geometrical operations. Taken together, these analyses demonstrate both remarkable methodological continuity across the Gothic era, and the progressive development of new and sophisticated permutations on venerable design themes. This rich tradition ultimately gave way in the Renaissance not because of any inherent problem with Gothic architecture, but because the visual language of Classicism appealed more directly to the pretensions of Humanist princes than the more abstract geometrical order of Gothic design, as the book's final chapter demonstrates.
