SUMMARY

"Sir Ninian Comper (1864-1960) was one of the last of the great Gothic Revival architects, his work devoted almost entirely to churches and their contents. He is well-known for his painted glass, his use of colour, his liturgical planning, and his subtle integration of Classical and Gothic styles. In this book, Anthony Symondson, the architectural historian and leading authority on Comper, describes how and why Comper developed his distinctive approach, making use of early photographs to discuss Comper's work in its original form. He also charts Comper's friendship with Sir John Betjeman, who championed his work, though with mixed results. There is a complete gazetteer of some six hundred entries by Stephen Bucknall, who knew Comper through his family's close personal and professional connections, and the book also contains a reprint of Comper's essay, Of the Atmosphere of a Church. Overall the book gives unique insight into the late flowering of English Gothic Revival church architecture."--BOOK JACKET.Symondson, Anthony is the author of 'Sir Ninian Comper An Introduction to His Life and Work, With Complete Gazetteer', published 2007 under ISBN 9781904965114 and ISBN 1904965113.
