Starting
with a visit to the Norman St Bartholomew’s Priory Church,
the second oldest church in the City of London, participants will
move on to study the Gothic splendours of Westminster Abbey. The
English Renaissance will then be examined through the classical
buildings of Inigo Jones. Christopher Wren’s St Paul’s
Cathedral is used to illustrate the English Baroque, Chiswick House
is visited as the epitome of Palladianism in this country and the
course concludes with a look at Neo-Classical style, elegantly exemplified
by Kenwood House on Hampstead Heath.
There will be an additional visit to the Victoria and Albert Museum
to look at objects relevant to the buildings studied and to review
how the style of the buildings and objects within them changed between
the period 1100 - 1800.
All
visits are led by Janet Gough. The course is limited to 18 participants.
