The Architectural History Of The Cathedral Church And Monastery Of St. Andrew At Rochester by Henry Saint John
A concise architectural history that traces the development of Rochester’s cathedral church and adjoining monastery from its medieval foundation through successive Norman and Gothic rebuilding phases to later repairs and restorations; the book analyzes plans and structural components — crypt, nave, choir, transepts, cloister and chapter house — describes masonry, sculptural detail, fenestration and materials, and uses documentary, archaeological and measured observations to establish a chronology of construction, alteration and decay while considering the influence of liturgical practice and monastic life on the fabric of the complex.
