Restoration of the Church of Saint Mary, Redcliffe Bristol; An Appeal by the Vicar, Churchwardens, and Vestry (Paperback)

,
Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHURCH OP ST. MARY, REUCLIFFE, BRISTOL. VIEW OF THE NAVE, ETC., LOOKING TOWARDS THE EAST, RESTORED. Divested of Pews, Seats, and other furniture of a Protestant Church, the above print shows the architectural character and details of the Interior of this truly beautiful edifice. If not equal in sculptured decoration to the gorgeous chapels of Henry VII., London, and King's College, Cambridge, it will bear comparison with those justly famed buildings, and will be found to surpass most of the cathedrals and other large churches of our own and of foreign countries in this respect. Although in miniature, this beautiful delineation in wood engraving displays the finely moulded and shafted piers or pillars, with the arches to the aisles, and the panelled walls above them in the situation of the triforium of the large cathedrals. Over this traceried wall is a series of clerestory windows of large dimensions, and of fine forms and proportions, with mullions and tracery. These, it is reasonably inferred, were originally filled with stained glass, "casting a dim, religious light" over the whole scene. Connecting, and apparently tying together, the two side wall, i a groin-vaulted ceiling, profusely adorned with intertwining moulded rilw, foliated tracery, and richly sculptured bosses spreading over the whole. In the view presented by the engraving, the eye ranges through a beautiful vista full of the most charming architectural effects. It requires but little stretch of fancy to imagine the exquisite, and indeed sublime, appearance of the whole, were the windows filled with pictured glass, and the ribs, bosses, and capitals of the vaulted ceilings, and of the shafted pillars, with gold and colours "richlydight."
