The Divine Craft of Carpentry
A look at how carvers and carpenters of the Middle Ages created wonders that still astound, from the roof of Westminster Hall to the Coronation Chair.
This series about the history of British woodworking concludes by looking at the Middle Ages, a golden era. Sponsored by the monarchy and the church, carvers and carpenters created wonders that still astound us today, from the magnificent roof of Westminster Hall to the Coronation Chair, last used by Elizabeth II but created 700 years ago. The film also shows how this precious legacy was nearly destroyed during the fires of the Reformation.
