About this book
Early Renaissance Architecture in England is a work by J. Alfred Gotch. A chapter is headed The Invasion of the Foreign Style. The text says the first work with Renaissance detail that was done in England was the tomb of King Henry VII.
The Paulet tombs at Basing Church, in Hampshire, are described with arches over the tombs and the doorway in the wall that are all flat-pointed, and spandrils filled with Renaissance carving. The text names the Spring pew in Lavenham Church, Suffolk, as another instance of the late treatment of woodwork. A chimney-piece at Castle Ashby, in Northamptonshire, is treated in much the same way as one from Bromley. A numbered list gives ground plans of, among others, Oxburgh Hall, East Barsham House and Compton Winyates.
