Lecture 4: I Will Lift Mine Eyes

About
In this talk, John Swainston, explores how Christianity spread across the Mediterranean, Augustine’s mission to England, early Saxon churches, the Norman transition, and one of the most prolific building periods of structures of a scale previously unknown in Britain. Building on the technological breakthroughs of earlier periods, the Masons and other artisans solved a myriad of construction challenges, despite initial tower collapses, lightning strikes, fires and other obstacles to completing these remarkable buildings. Along the way we learn of the struggle for power, both regal and ecclesiastical, while tracking the rise and decline of the church’s influence in society across the centuries.Date
