Its round nave, modelled on the fourth-century Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, is an extraordinarily early and ambitious example of the Gothic style in England. It holds one of the most famous series of medieval effigies in the country. The luminous thirteenth-century choir, intended for the burial of Henry III, is of exceptional beauty. Major developments in the post-medieval period include the reordering of the church in the 1680's by Sir Christopher Wren, fascinating changes in the perception of the church's significance in the eighteenth century, and a substantial restoration programme in the early 1840's. -- 520 $a Despite its great importance, however, the Temple Church has until now attracted little scholarly or critical attention, a gap which is remedied by this volume. It considers the New Temple as a whole in the Middle Ages, and all aspects of the church itself from its foundation in the twelfth century to its war-time damage in the twentieth. Richly illustrated with numerous black and white and colour plates, it makes full use of the exceptional range and quality of the antiquarian material available for study, including drawings, photographs, and plaster casts. --Book Jacket. 610 20 $a Temple Church (London, England) $v Congresses. 650 0 $a Templar architecture $z London $z London $v Congresses. 651 0 $a London (England) $x Buildings, structures, etc. $v Congresses. 700 1 $a Griffith-Jones, Robin. 700 1 $a Park, David, $d 1952- 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825085748.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8C55EDC46A8C11E689525693DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
