The first building in the High Gothic (French: Classique) was Chartres Cathedral, an important pilgrimage church south of Paris. Rouen Cathedral (begun 1185) was rebuilt from Romanesque to Gothic with distinct Norman features, including a lantern tower, deeply moulded decoration, and high pointed arcades. Four-centred arches were often used, and lierne vaults seen in early buildings were developed into fan vaults, first at the latter 14th century chapter-house of Hereford Cathedral (demolished 1769) and cloisters at Gloucester, and then at Reginald Ely’s King’s College Chapel, Cambridge (1446-1461) and the brothers William and Robert Vertue’s Henry VII Chapel (c. One of the builders who is believed to have worked on Sens Cathedral, William of Sens, later travelled to England and became the architect who, between 1175 and 1180, reconstructed the choir of Canterbury Cathedral in the new Gothic style. 1332) of Old St Paul’s Cathedral in London by William de Ramsey.

The dome of Florence Cathedral (1420-1436) by Filippo Brunelleschi, inspired by the Pantheon, Rome, was one of the first Renaissance landmarks, but it also employed Gothic technology; the outer skin of the dome was supported by a framework of twenty-four ribs. One of these was the Norman chevet, a small apse or chapel attached to the choir at the east end of the church, which typically had a half-dome.

While many of the bands in Knee’s book were originally dismissed by a sneering music press interested in more macho pursuits, with hindsight, seeing women onstage as equals with men now looks like a liberatingly political act. Men also like the goth and punk style, with the same reference in the outfits and the times as the female outfits. The Romanesque cathedral was destroyed by fire in 1194, but was swiftly rebuilt in the new style, with contributions from King Philip II of France, Pope Celestine III, local gentry, merchants, craftsmen, and Richard the Lionheart, king of England. The Kings of France had first-hand knowledge of the new Italian style, because of the military campaign of Charles VIII to Naples and Milan (1494), and especially the campaigns of Louis XII and Francis I (1500-1505) to restore French control over Milan and Genoa. These people were into the more hardcore, loud, aggressive, over the top fashions and music that were called things like “garage rock” and “street punk”.
