Paperback. Condition: New. Well over a hundred great churches were built in the cathedral tradition in the Middle Ages. They are our most important group of historical monuments and embody the finest craftwork of medieval architecture. Despite a great mass of specialist literature and research on other aspects, it was not until Cecil A. Hewett's work over the past three decades that any serious attention was paid to their functional carpentry or, indeed, to their decorative timberwork.Examining the entire range of 'great' churches, Hewett's carefully reasoned and well-organised text covers all areas of monastic and cathedral carpentry, classifying roof structures, towers and spires in chronological order, while an important section deals with the surviving examples of hoisting machinery still in situ, some from a very early date. In English Cathedral and Monastic Carpentry, he relates the physical evidence to the documentary record supported with over 300 of his own magnificent drawings. In this, Hewett provides both a work of reference and a stimulating analysis of the evolution of the craft.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The definitive work on English carpentry that helps reveal the rich history of woodworking in the country. Using a vast trove of images, 'English Historic Carpentry' documents the structure of the world's greatest timber buildings, and shows how the framer's craft has evolved over the past 1,000 years. AUTHOR: The late Cecil A. Hewett, of Laindon, Basildon, was an influential figure in the area of English carpentry. It was due to his hard work and often lone campaign that effort was made to date wooden structures in England, which previously had been automatically dated to the fifteenth century. In fact, many were far older and more significant than had been assumed. Publishing many works before his death in 1998, English Historic Carpentry is considered his seminal work. 394 b/w illustrations The definitive work from one of the most influential figures in the field of carpentry Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: New. A true magnum opus, Cecil A. Hewett's English Historic Carpentry appeals to every type of architectural historian, from the connoisseur of cathedrals to the vernacular 'barn and cottage' enthusiast. It also offers practical insight into the structure and age of the old homes and outbuildings of Britain, and will reveal that much timber-work is appreciably older than their owners might think. This book will be a source of pride and inspiration to all who work in timber today, showing that the master carpenters of the past achieved their highest levels of craftsmanship well before the master masons, and that they were their equals as medieval architects.Beginning as a young upstart with wild theories, Hewett grew to become the accepted authority on all matters of historic carpentry and a pioneer of a whole new technology in the dating of ancient buildings. In English Historic Carpentry, he provides the definite statement of his work, superbly illustrated by his own drawings. As Hewett maintained, 'the building is the document' and this book will teach you how to read the evidence that is written in wood.…
