(Thomas) Blomfield, George Becher 1801 1885 Blomfield, George Becker On the Architectural History of Chester Cathedral Transcribed from the 1864 Courant Office edition by David Price "On the Architectural History of Chester Cathedral" by Thomas Rickman is an analytical historical account written in the early 19th century. The book discusses the architectural features, styles, and the evolution of Chester Cathedral, aiming to elevate its significance among the notable ecclesiastical buildings of England. As a significant work in the study of Gothic architecture, it reflects the early 1800s' interests in a detailed understanding of architectural styles and their historical context. In this book, Rickman examines Chester Cathedral's structural features, presenting an insightful overview of its various architectural styles, including Norman, Early English, Decorated, and Perpendicular. Through careful observation, he traces the timeline of the cathedral's construction and modifications, detailing how different architectural elements signify the periods in which they were built. His analysis not only highlights the beauty of the cathedral's design but also emphasizes its intricate historical narrative, thereby advocating for its appreciation amidst more widely recognized ecclesiastical structures like Canterbury and York. Rickman's work contributes significantly to the understanding of Gothic architecture and the importance of preserving historical structures for future generations.
