Title: Angel Roofs of East Anglia: Unseen Masterpieces of the Middle Ages
Author: Rimmer, Michael
Price: Not Available
ISBN: 9780718893699
Description: Cambridge: The Lutterworth Press, 2015. 25cm., pbk., 127pp. illus. Summary: By the late middle ages English constructional and decorative woodworking had attained a level of skill and sophistication unrivalled in Europe. East Anglia's churches are home to one of the most spectacular and distinctive products of this medieval expertise: the angel roof. Built mainly between 1400 and 1530, and overwhelmingly an East Anglian phenomenon, angel roofs were an expression of religious belief, wealth, status and regional skill. Using specialist lenses and techniques to capture distant and inaccessible detail, Michael Rimmer's photographs reveal the unseen beauty of East Anglia's angel roofs and the vision of the medieval craftsmen who made them, while his engaging and knowledgeable text brings to life the personalities, economics and power structures of 15th Century East Anglia.
