Summary "Mediaeval Church Vaulting" by Clarence Ward is a monograph on architectural techniques written in the early 20th century. This scholarly work examines the structural elements of vaulting found in mediaeval churches, specifically during the Gothic period. The book discusses the evolution of vaulting methods, their influence on building design, and how these systems correlate with the lighting and aesthetics of ecclesiastical architecture. The opening of the book introduces the subject by highlighting the significance of vaulting in the context of mediaeval architecture. It emphasizes that understanding the various forms of vaulting is essential for comprehending the overall structure of medieval churches, as these constructions replaced wooden roofs with masonry vaults to withstand fire hazards. Ward presents a systematic outline of different vaulting types, their historical origins, and their relationship with other architectural features, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of how these techniques shaped church design throughout the Middle Ages.
