Now I cannot say why, but in spite of its seduction, which is full of splendour, of its noble history and great buildings, I have never been able to love Arundel. keywords: abbey; abbot; bishop; building; canterbury; castle; cathedral; century; chancel; chapel; chapter; chichester; choir; church; city; country; cross; day; downs; early; east; edward; end; england; english; forest; fourteenth; gate; great; heart; henry; high; hill; history; house; john; king; lady; later; left; london; men; monks; nave; new; norman; norman church; north; pilgrims; place; priory; remains; road; rochester; roman; saxon; sea; set; south; st thomas; stands; street; thing; thirteenth; time; tower; town; way; weald; west; western; william; winchester; work; years cache: 10120.txt plain text: 10120.txt item: #2 of 14 id: 21688 author: Butler, Dugald title: Scottish Cathedrals and Abbeys date: None words: 78444 flesch: 72 summary: First Pointed work is also found at the churches of _Deer_; _Auchindoir_; _St. Cuthbert's, Monkton_; _St. Nicholas, Prestwick_; _Altyre_; _St. Mary's, Rattray_; _Abdie_; _St. Ninian's on the Isle_; _St. Colmanel's, Buittle_; _Cockpen_; _Pencaitland_; _ It had a provost and ten prebendaries.[280] _St. Salvator's, St. Andrews._--The College of St. Salvator was founded and endowed by Bishop Kennedy in 1456 for a provost and prebendaries. keywords: abbey; abbey church; abbot; aisle; andrews; arcade; arches; architecture; bays; bishop; building; cathedral; celtic; century; chancel; chapel; chapter; choir; church; churches; cloister; college; crossing; date; david; design; doorway; east; end; feet; glasgow; history; house; i. p.; ibid; iii; james; john; king; mary; monastery; monks; nave; new; norman; north; order; paisley; parish church; period; piers; place; pointed; present; queen; remains; robert; round; scotland; scottish; south; square; stone; structure; style; time; tower; transept; vol; wall; west; western; windows; work cache: 21688.txt plain text: 21688.txt item: #3 of 14 id: 22718 author: Rose, Elise Whitlock title: Cathedrals and Cloisters of the South of France, Volume 1 date: None words: 49349 flesch: 64 summary: Two Abbeys of the far Norman North are more finished and harmonious representations of the art, and Languedoc, in the basilica of Saint-Sernin of Toulouse, has a nobler interior than any in the Midi, and many other churches of Languedoc and Gascony are most interesting examples of a style which belonged to them as truly as to Provence. If the Romanesque of Saint-Sauveur is far surpassed at Arles and Digne and Sisteron, nowhere in Provence has Gothic richer details; and if the noblest of Provençal creations must be sought in other little cities, the lover of architectural comparisons, of details, of the many lesser things rather than of the harmony of a single whole, will linger long in Aix. keywords: altar; apse; architecture; avignon; bishop; building; cathedral; centuries; century; choir; church; churches; cities; city; cloister; columns; country; day; days; far; façade; fine; form; france; french; general; gothic; history; illustration; interior; nave; near; new; past; people; place; portal; provence; provençal; romanesque; saint; sidenote; south; square; streets; style; time; tower; town; traveller; walls; windows; years cache: 22718.txt plain text: 22718.txt item: #4 of 14 id: 29820 author: Mansfield, M.
