Lest We Forget

Organized by region, this illustrated guide to Grade One and Grade Two memorials in England offers information about the designer, history and unveiling of each, along with the text of its inscription.

The Rose Window
Splendor and Symbol
Painton Cowen
‘The most spectacular of all the creations of the Gothic era’, the rose window still has the power to transfix 21st-century tourists in cathedrals such a Notre-Dame, Strasbourg or York Minster. In this magnificent study, with photographs of almost 300 roses, Cowen takes a chronological approach, exploring the origins and evolution of the form up to the present day, while letting ‘each window speak for itself’. Other chapters discuss the iconography, glazing, geometry and construction of rose windows, and the book concludes with a gazetteer.
