Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The Abbey has been unfairly neglected if, as argued here, it marks the emergence of a distinctively English tradition. It has, for example, the earliest surviving rectangular ambulatory which, together with decorative details in the choir, suggest a Saxon revival imposed on the Norman style. A giant order elevation in the nave, never completed as originally intended, signified rejection of the high-ribbed vault of eg Durham Cathedral. There were later repercussions on English Gothic which, on this argument, was not a misunderstanding of French Gothic. | ||
