What reading level is The Architectural History of the Christian Church book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Edward the Confessor was educated in Normandy, and was extremely fond of foreigners, to his subjects' annoyance ; for he enriched foreign abbeys at the expense of his own land, and instituted the bad system of alien priories, which had such a serious effect in later times. King Harold built a church in the Norman style at Waltham, rebuilding that founded by Tovy, standard- bearer to King Canute ; here he said his last prayers before the battle of Hastings, and here he was buried, with the simpl...e inscription, "Harold infelix" — " Unhappy Digitized by Google The Norman Period in England 133 Harold." This is considered to be the church still remaining, with its very mas- sive pillars, and cushion-shaped capitals, the former ornamented with the twisted and chevron patterns so characteristic of Norman architecture.
William the Conqueror was no respecter of churches, and although many were built here in his reign, he destroyed others to make the New Forest, and com- mitted many acts of sacrilege, which were requited when his sons lost their life in this very place.
