Medieval historian Dr Janina Ramirez looks back to a time when British craftsmen and their patrons created a new form of architecture. The art and architecture of France would dominate England for much of the medieval age. Yet British stone masons and builders would make Gothic architecture their own, inventing a national style for the first time - Perpendicular Gothic - and giving Britain a patriotic backdrop to suit its new ambitions of chivalry and power. From a grand debut at Gloucester Cathedral to commemorate a murdered king to its final glorious flowering at King's College Chapel in Cambridge, the Perpendicular age was Britain's finest.
Nina Ramirez delivers a brilliant documentary. Thanks for uploading.
This series of gothic architecture very stimulating and insightful! The explanations and speaking was very clear and understandable there was no need for rewinding.... It also aided in clearing up some blank-spots in understanding of art history, for a course. The common public believes that art doesn't really have anything to do with history itself but it does. Reviewing just the recent 100+ years see how art has skewed truth, opinions and thoughts of the general public. Consider Germany 1930's. Art tells much of a people and culture.
Excellent. Brilliant television.
Quick question: what happened to part 2 for this series? This was a great show! I searched for part 2 of these for without any luck. Thanks!

+John Bowie It's customary (obligatory, perhaps) to call an adult female a "woman"... unless you wish to belittle her because of her gender... John... boy.

It's full of grotesques, but many stories were just made up mostly in the Victorian times
What do mean exactly?
