Secular Gothic Architecture in EnglandFew examples of secular structures in Gothic style survive. The "Old
Palace" at Hatfield, built in 1497, is famous for its entrance wing
with an imposing gatehouse, which gave access to the protected inner
court. This is an example of the last phase of Gothic design in
England which, due to its far northern situation, was still
untouched by the Renaissance underway in central Italy. Local
building traditions produced a vernacular style that was as
important as Gothic in the final appearance. The roofs are tiled in
the local East Anglian tradition. Substantial eaves enclose
essential storage areas in spacious attics. The Gothic elements in
these buildings are the paired lancet windows joined under a molding
that threw rainwater away from their sills, and the buttresses
between each pier and on the angles of the gatehouse tower.
In England, the Church of England was undergoing a revival of
Anglo-Catholic and ritualist ideology in the form of the Oxford
Movement and it became desirable to build large numbers of new
churches to cater for the growing population. This found ready
exponents in the universities, where the ecclesiological movement
was forming. Its proponents believed that Gothic was the only style
appropriate for a parish church, and favoured a particular era of
Gothic architecture — the "decorated". The Ecclesiologist, the
publication of the Cambridge Camden Society, was so savagely
critical of new church buildings that were below its exacting
standards that a style called the 'archaeological Gothic' emerged,
producing some of the most convincingly mediæval buildings of the
Gothic revival. However, not every architect or client was swept
away by this tide. Although Gothic Revival succeeded in becoming an
increasingly familiar style of architecture, the attempt to
associate it with superiority of the high church, as advocated by
Pugin and the ecclesiological movement, was anathema to those with
ecumenical or nonconformist principles. They looked to adopt it
solely for its aesthetic romantic qualities, to combine it with
other styles or look to northern Europe for Gothic of a more plain
appearance, and to consciously choose a quite different style; or in
some instances all three of these as at the ecumenical Abney Park
Cemetery for whom the architect William Hosking FSA was engaged. |
