English Architecture: Making England in the Shadow of Rome, 410-1130 - Simon Thurley

[@GreshamCollege]

Good question! No, it's not a picture of Westminster Abbey; it's actually a Norman abbey in France, Jumièges. Apologies for our edit of the lecture making this rather misleading at that point!

This Simon Thurley is outstanding! What a wonderful mind; combined with charisma, spot on visual presentation and on a subject area that is to my knowledge often overlooked. As a Novice Writer of Medieval History, I am passionate about vividly creating the World of which I am writing about. This helped so much.

Very helpful. Filled in a gap I had no idea even existed! (Blame Lord Macaulay for that - "huts of a miserable peasantry".) Thanks for posting.

Brilliant lecture. One question: 33:19 is that Westminster Abbey??

[@alpeintureparis]

wonderful

[@Infamous41]

Wont evolution force u to change it that way since it the most practical way of building?

[@BillKing8888]

Was Bede really England's first historian? Surely other monks or scholars wrote things down in the 250-odd years between Rome and Bede.

Rome was not really the centre of the Christian world. The Pope was one of the Patriarchs of the Church . Antioch Jerusalem Alexandria had been the older Patriarchates and later Constantinople. The connection was not really lost. An Archbishop of Canterbury was from Antioch and made very great changes to the AngloSaxon Church Theodore of Tarsus. 668. Though from the East he was sent by the Bishop of Rome to take over Canterbury.
