Gothic Architecture lovers, listen up! 
A few weeks ago I came across the most fantastic website for those interested in Catholic Medieval architecture of churches, cathedrals, convents and monasteries. It’s a project by Stephen Murray, Professor of Art History and Archaeology at Columbia University and Andrew Tallon, Assistant Professor of Art at Vassar College, that has mapped, photographed and describes a grand amount of Gothic buildings in France and England.
The website is called Mapping Gothic France and can be found at www.mappinggothic.com
It supplies thousands of stunning, high resolution images and plans of churches across the map, many of them explained and enriched with stories of their history and the context in which they were built. The famous churches of Chartres, Notre Dame, Lincoln and many others are of course also listed there.
You will find buttons at the top of the page that let you display the map and other handy features.
I urge all of you who have a passion, or even just a slight interest, to take a look at the fabulous work they have done and invite your comments, i.e. your favourites you found there!
