英格兰和威尔士的中世纪主教住宅

这本书于1998年首次出版，描述了那里现存的中世纪遗迹，以及主教们拥有的数量多得多的庄园和城堡，以及他们在伦敦的房屋。除了皇家住宅，这些都是迄今为止最大的单一类型的中世纪住宅建筑群。作者描述了这些建筑与主教的生活方式、职责和收入之间的关系，尤其是中世纪后期戏剧性的社会变化对其形式的影响。本文讨论了12世纪大主教城堡建造者的工作，以及中世纪房屋的一般历史及其早期受欧洲大陆的影响，大厅和房间风格的变化（仍有争议），以及约克大主教沃尔西枢机大院的高潮。这本书包括100多张主教住宅残存部分的平面图、剖面图和照片，以及拆除前对坎特伯雷大主教宫殿1647处的调查。

Medieval Bishops’ Houses in England and Wales
First published in 1998, this book describes the surviving medieval remains there and the far more numerous manor houses and castles owned by the bishops, as well as their London houses. Apart from royal residences these are far the largest group of medieval domestic buildings of a single type that we have. The author describes how these buildings relate to the way of life of the bishops in relation to their duties and their income and how in particular the dramatic social changes of the later middle ages influenced their form. The work of the great bishop castle-builders of the 12th century is discussed, as are the general history of the medieval house with its early influence from the Continent, the changes in style of hall and chamber (still controversial) and its climax in the great courtyard houses of Cardinal Wolsey, Archbishop of York. The book includes over a hundred plans, sections and photographs of the surviving parts of bishops’ residences, with a survey of 1647 of the Archbishop’s palace at Canterbury before demolition.
