Victorian architecture is a diverse and multifaceted phenomenon the manifestations of which can be found not only in Britain but across the world. Ecclesiastical architecture in particular was widespread, carried to Britain’s colonies and beyond by clergymen, architects, engineers, as well as via the numerous specialist publications in circulation at the time. This movement of people and ideas around the globe led to an especially rich period of church building activity, involving architects as acclaimed as A.W.N. Pugin, G.G. Scott, William Butterfield, William White, and many others.<\/p>\n
The essays in this issue of\u00a0Studies in Victorian Architecture & Design<\/em>, which originate in a The Victorian Society symposium held in 2010, bring together noted scholars from a variety of countries in an analysis of the commonalities and peculiarities of ecclesiastical architecture in the wider Victorian world. Comprising eight major articles, and spanning four continents, including Canada, India, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States of America, these essays shed new light on the advent of ecclesiology and its influence abroad.<\/p>\n Victorian Architecture – an Expanded Field<\/strong>\u00a0Alex Bremner<\/em><\/p>\n ‘Solemn Chancels and Cross Crowned Spires’: Pugin’s Antipodean Vision and its Implementation<\/strong>\u00a0Brian Andrews<\/em><\/p>\n The Ecclesiology of Expediency in Colonial Australia<\/strong>\u00a0Miles Lewis<\/em><\/p>\n Experiments in Ecclesiology: Anglican Church Building in Colonial New Zealand<\/strong>\u00a0Ian Lochhead<\/em><\/p>\n The Introduction of Ecclesiology to Nova Scotia\u00a0<\/strong>Peter Coffman<\/em><\/p>\n William White in the Colonies\u00a0<\/strong>Gill Hunter<\/em><\/p>\n Bishop Robert Gray and Mrs Sophia Gray: Building Anglican Churches in South Africa, 1848-72\u00a0<\/strong>Desmond Martin<\/em><\/p>\n Henry Conybeare and the Gothic Revival in Bombay\u00a0c.<\/em>1840-1900\u00a0<\/strong>Mariam Dossal<\/em><\/p>\n Churches of the Holy Zebra: the Technicolor Meeting House in North America\u00a0<\/strong>Michael J.
