Book Description
Excerpt from The Ecclesiastical and Architectural Topography of England The publication of this county, with Berkshire and Buckinghamshire already published, completes the architectural survey of the diocese of Oxford, which is intended to form the First Volume of the work. The Notes for this county have been prepared chiefly by Mr. I. H. Parker, assisted occasionally by different friends, and the whole have been submitted to the Archdeacon and other competent authorities for correction when necessary. The next Part to be published will be Cambridgeshire, which with Bedfordshire already published, and Huntingdon, with part of Suffolk, which are also in preparation, will complete the diocese of Ely, and form the Second Volume of the work. It may be useful to repeat for the use of beginners in the study of Gothic Architecture, that the abbreviations used throughout this work are N. for Norman, E. E. for Early English, D. for Decorated, and P. for Perpendicular, according to Mr. Rickman's definitions of the styles or periods, and for the sake of more easy reference his Chronological Table is repeated with each county. The initials of those who have contributed to the work are appended to the articles for which each is responsible.
