| Summary | "Lectures on the Rise and Development of Mediæval Architecture; Vol. 2" by Sir George Gilbert Scott is a scholarly publication written in the late 19th century. This academic work serves as a comprehensive exploration of the evolution of architecture during the medieval period, particularly focusing on Britain's architectural heritage. It discusses various styles, influences, and historical contexts surrounding the development of ecclesiastical and secular structures in England. At the start of the text, the author reflects on his previous lectures and acknowledges the significance of reviewing early British architecture in more detail while linking it to foreign influences. Scott emphasizes the importance of understanding the indigenous architecture of England, particularly the Anglo-Saxon and pre-Norman styles, and addresses the impact of foreign styles on the evolution of local architecture. He prepares to embark on a detailed analysis of specific architectural examples from various periods, indicating that the exploration will intertwine historical narrative with architectural critique.
