Description:Excerpt from Recent English Ecclesiastical Architecture In compiling a publication such as this one. dealing with English Ecclesiastical Architecture, the term "recent" has been found, of necessity, to have a somewhat elastic meaning. The history of architecture, though there be chronological sequence, is not defined into periods by dates. Growth is gradual, and the development of a style, or the change from one manner of building to another, can only be determined in a very broad way. In civic work there has undoubtedly been a general adoption of Renaissance types - in some instances almost a duplication of seventeenth and eighteenth-century forms. But this has not been the case to any extent in church work, which remains for the most part Gothic in character. At the present day there arc no such dominating personalities as those which brought about the Gothic Revival of the mid-nineteenth century, and, of course, the work of these men - Pugin, Street, Butterfield, Burges, and the rest - it much too far back to be included in the present volume. It has been felt, however, that there should be some sort of connection between the church architecture of to-day and that of the period front which it derive? much of its inspiration, and, with this intention, two of John Sedding's most characteristic churches - St. Clement's, Bournemouth, and Holy Trinity, Chelsea - have been taken as, in some sense, a starting point. A further connecting link is supplied by the magnificent talent of J. F. Bentley, while the late Mr. Gamer and the late Mr. Bodley give the lead to the best men of the present-day school of church architects. The selection here presented is a varied and representative one, embracing Established, Nonconformist, and Roman Catholic churches, and it is felt that the publication of so fine a series of examples should be of great interest and value to everyone interested in Modern Ecclesiastical Architecture.
