  • The Tames of Fairford and the Illusory Truth Effect

    Nicola ColdstreamARTICLEJournal of the British…2025

    The attribution of St Mary’s church, Fairford, Gloucestershire, to the 15th-century woolman John Tame and his son Edmund goes back to Leland in the 16th century. It has been essentially unchallenged since then and the account of John Tame’s life has been developed and embellished by successive scholars down to this day in a series of illusory truths that have no basis in the surviving records. The article examines the historiography of John Tame …

  • The West Front of Tintern Abbey Church, Monmouthshire

    Open AccessRichard K Morris, Nicola Coldstream et al.ARTICLEThe Antiquaries Journal2015Cited by: 1References: 5

    The conservation and repair of the west front of Tintern Abbey church, undertaken by Cadw between 2005 and 2010, provided an unrivalled opportunity to survey, record and analyse the design, construction and alteration of a much-celebrated example of medieval architecture. This paper considers in detail the moulding profiles and ornament of the west front and offers a developmental history for this part of the abbey church. Comparisons are made wi…

  • ‘Pavilion’d in Splendour’: Henry V’s Agincourt Pageants

    Nicola ColdstreamARTICLEJournal of the British…2012

    After his victory at Agincourt in 1415, Henry V was accorded a triumphal entry to London, accompanied by pageantry. Descriptions of pageant stations are rare in medieval records, but accounts of this event give a reasonably clear picture of them, and make possible a suggested reconstruction of the sixth pageant, on Cheapside, representing the entry to the New Jerusalem

  • The Great Tower, Chepstow Castle, Wales

    Open AccessR C Turner, J R L Allen et al.ARTICLEThe Antiquaries Journal2004Cited by: 6References: 19

    The Great Tower of Chepstow Castle is probably the most important surviving domestic medieval building in Wales. In the Norman period it consisted of a single large room partly surrounded by niches built over a vast undercroft. In the second quarter of the thirteenth century, the first floor was dramatically converted into a more conventional great hall and chamber, through the insertion of new windows and the construction of a pair of sumptuousl…

  • The Architect, History and Architectural History

    Open AccessNicola ColdstreamARTICLETransactions of the Royal…2003

    The relation of the architect to architecture is elusive, since documentation can be scarce and the cult of the individual architect as a hero has allowed less well-recorded individuals to disappear from the narrative. The collaborative nature of building throughout history has been lost to historians. The paper considers the problems of attribution and the efforts of historians to discover architects, as well as those of architects to rewrite hi…

  • St Davids Bishop's Palace, Pembrokeshire

    Open AccessRick Turner, Nicola Coldstream et al.ARTICLEThe Antiquaries Journal2000Cited by: 1References: 6

    This paper provides a comprehensive description of St Davids Bishop's Palace. Almost completely built under the patronage of Bishop Henry de Gower (1328–47), it represents the most remarkable secular building in the Decorated style. Detailed analysis of each elevation of the palace has enabled sixteen phases of work to be identified, nine of which are grouped into three building campaigns sponsored by Bishop de Gower. This has enabled the evoluti…
