- Title
SOLOMON 'ENGOTHICKED': THE ELDER JOHN WOOD'S RESTORATION OF LLANDAFF CATHEDRAL.
- Authors
Stevenson, Christine
- Abstract
This article focuses on the restoration on "Llandaff Cathederal," a church situated in Wales. The church was raised in the 1867 and has a shape of octagonal spire. The architect John Wood used all the theoretical props of eighteenth-century architectural practice in the restoration. Wood explained the form of his Llandaff rebuilding in a manuscript account which explicitly drew upon all the traditions used in the restoration of the church. The Cathedral as it now stands is almost entirely the product of a subsequent rebuilding, virtually finished by 1861. This restoration incorporated what remained of the medieval fabric.
