Editing Gothic Revival architecture (section)

=== Britain and Ireland ===
[[St Columb's Cathedral]], in [[Derry]], may be considered 'Gothic Survival', as it was completed in 1633 in a [[Perpendicular Gothic]] style.<ref>{{cite web|first =Bob|last = Hunter |url = http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/plantation/transcripts/pa01_t06.shtml |title =Londonderry Cathedral| publisher = BBC|website =Wars & Conflict: The Plantation of Ulster|date = 18 September 2014}}</ref> Similarly, Gothic architecture survived in some urban settings during the later 17th century, as shown in [[Oxford]] and [[Cambridge]], where some additions and repairs to Gothic buildings were considered to be more in keeping with the style of the original structures than contemporary [[Baroque architecture|Baroque]].{{sfn|Sherwood|Pevsner|2002|pp=110–111}}

In contrast, [[Dromore Cathedral]], built in 1660/1661, immediately after the end of [[the Protectorate]], revived [[Early English architecture|Early English]] forms, demonstrating the restitution of the monarchy and claiming Ireland for the English crown.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://apps.communities-ni.gov.uk/Buildings/buildview.aspx?id=16842&js=false|title= Northern Ireland – Historic Building Details HB17/15/022 A, Dromore Cathedral|publisher=Department of Communities - NI Government|access-date=17 August 2023}}</ref> At the same time, the Great Hall of [[Lambeth Palace]], that had been despoiled by the [[Puritans]], was rebuilt in a mixture of Baroque and older Gothic forms, demonstrating the restitution of the Anglican Church.<ref>{{NHLE|num=1116399|desc=Lambeth Palace|grade=I|access-date=17 August 2023}}</ref> These two buildings can be said to herald the onset of Gothic Revival architecture, several decades before it became mainstream. [[Christopher Wren|Sir Christopher Wren]]'s [[Tom Tower]] for [[Christ Church, Oxford|Christ Church]], [[University of Oxford]], consciously set out to imitate [[Thomas Wolsey|Cardinal Wolsey's]] architectural style. Writing to [[John Fell (bishop)|Dean Fell]] in 1681, he noted; "I resolved it ought to be Gothic to agree with the Founder's work", adding that to do otherwise would lead to "an unhandsome medley". [[Pevsner Architectural Guides|Pevsner]] suggests that he succeeded "to the extent that innocent visitors never notice the difference". It was followed in 1697–1704 by the rebuilding of [[Collegiate Church of St Mary, Warwick|Collegiate Church of St Mary]] in [[Warwick]] as a stone-vaulted [[hall church]], whereas the burnt church had been a [[basilica]] with timbered roofs. Also in [[Warwickshire]], in 1729/30, the nave and aisles of the church of St Nicholas at [[Alcester]] were rebuilt by Edward and Thomas Woodward, the exterior in Gothic forms but with a [[Neoclassical architecture|Neoclassical]] interior.<ref>{{NHLE|num=1200612|desc=Church of St Nicholas, Alcester|grade=I|access-date=17 August 2023}}</ref> At the same time, 1722–1746, [[Nicholas Hawksmoor]] added the west towers to [[Westminster Abbey]], which made him a pioneer of Gothic Revival completions of medieval buildings,{{sfn|Macaulay|1975|p=31}} which from the late 19th century were increasingly disapproved of, although work in this style continued into the 20th century.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.universalis.fr/encyclopedie/eugene-emmanuel-viollet-le-duc/2-vezelay-et-le-gothique-comme-acte-constructif/|title=Vézelay et le gothique comme acte constructif|language=French|publisher=Universalis.fr|access-date=17 August 2023}}</ref> Back in Oxford, the redecoration of the  dining hall at [[University College, Oxford|University College]] between 1766 and 1768 has been described as "the first major example of the Gothic Revival style in Oxford".{{efn|The driver of the redecoration at University College was Sir [[Roger Newdigate]], who also undertook the "Gothicisation" of his Warwickshire country house, [[Arbury Hall]], over the course of 50 years in the later half of the 18th century.<ref>{{NHLE|num=1185222|desc=Arbury Hall|grade=!|access-date=20 August 2023}}</ref>}}{{sfn|Cox|2012|p=117}}
