THE CHURCHES OF THE MIDDLE AGES: or, Select Specimens of Early and
Middle Pointed Structures; with a few of the pures; Late Pointed
Examples, Illustrated by Geometric and Perspective Drawings. By HENRY
BOWMAN and J.S. CROWTHER, Architects. Containing Illustrations of St.
Peter's Church, Thrukingham, Norfolk; St. John's, Cley, Norfolk; and St.
Andrew's, Heckington, Lincolnshire.
To be completed in Twenty Parts, each containing Six Plates, Imperial
folio. Issued at intervals of two months.
"Ewerby is a magnficent specimen of a Flowing Middle-Pointed Church. it
is most perfectly measured and described: one can follow the most
rcondite beauties of the construction, mouldings and joints, in these
Plates, almost as well as in the original structure. Such a monograph as
this will be of incalculable value to the architects of our Colonies or
the United States, who have no means of access to ancient churches. The
Plates are on stone, done with remarkable skill and distinctness. Of
Heckington we can only say that the perspective view from the south-east
presents a very vision of beauty; we can hardle conceive anything more
perfect. We heartlily recommend this series to all who are able to
patronize it."--_Ecclesiologist_, Oct. 1849.
