Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Argues that the 14th-century work at Tewkesbury is not a provincial reflection of Gloucester Cathedral, but simply another aspect of the Court style of the period. The remodelling was the work of Edward II's favourite Hugh le Despenser, though after his fall the work was completed by his widow Eleanor and her son Hugh. This historically-attested building break at 1326-1330 is relfected in the fabric. The E end, planned as a sumptuous Despenser family mausoleum in the French style, was copied from (and intended to surpass) that of Hailes Abbey. | |
