William Wynford (flourished 1360–1405)〔page 352, English Medieval Architects A Biographical Dictionary Down to 1550, John Harvey 1984〕 was one of the most successful English master masons of the 14th century, using the new Perpendicular Gothic style. He is first mentioned in 1360 when at work at Windsor Castle as warden of masons' work. He became master mason at Wells Cathedral on 1 February 1365〔page 89, L.S. Colchester (Editor), Wells cathedral A History, 1982, Open Books〕 where he is believed to have designed the South West tower, it was probably here that he met William of Wykeham who was then a provost of the cathedral. He was made master of the works at Windsor Castle in 1364〔page 630, Geoffrey Tyack, Simon Bradley & Nikolaus Pevsner, Buildings of England Berkshire, 2010, Yale University Press〕 under Wykeham, in 1372 Edward III granted Wynford a pension of £10 per annum. In 1375–76 he was at work at Abingdon Abbey and working for the crown at Corfe Castle in 1377–78 making new rooms in the keep. In 1378 Wynford was working with Henry Yevele at Southampton. With the death of Edward III the new king Richard II of England favoured Wykeham, with newfound wealth he founded in 1379 New College, Oxford, which was designed by Wynford,〔pages 156-164, John Buxton & Penry Williams (Editors), new College Oxford 1379–1979, 1979, Warden & Fellows of New College〕 who also designed Winchester College〔page 75, Sir William Hayter, William of Wykeham patron of the arts, 1970, Chatto & Windus〕 founded by Wykeham in 1382. There is a portrait of Wynford〔page 354, English Medieval Architects A Biographical Dictionary Down to 1550, John Harvey 1984〕 in the stained glass in the east window of Winchester College; this shows an old man with thinning hair, a long nose and dropping moustache and forked beard with the words 'Willms Wynfort lathomus' below. In 1389-90 he was repairing Winchester Castle, from 1392 he designed Wardour Castle, and in the 1390s〔page 218, John Crook (Editor), Winchester Cathedral Nine hundred Years 1093–1993, 1993, Pillimore & Company〕 he commenced his last major work, the remodelling of the Norman nave of Winchester Cathedral in the latest Perpendicular Gothic style. Wynford used a distinctive plan of placing the chapel and great hall end to end; this occurred at Windsor Castle (the chapel and hall were united as a single hall by Sir Jeffry Wyatville for George IV), and at Winchester and New Colleges. The two colleges also have cloisters that are next to rather than surrounded by the main college buildings, which form a separate courtyard consisting of as well as the great hall and chapel, an entrance gate with tower above, sets of rooms for scholars and fellows opening off staircases, a library, accommodation for the Warden. The kitchen, bakery and other service buildings are in a separate wing at New College, but surround a second courtyard at Winchester College. New college also has a bell tower next to the cloister. These were the very first educational buildings in England to be designed as a complete entity, as such they influenced later college buildings such as King's College, Cambridge, Eton College & Magdalen College, Oxford. ==Gallery of architectural work== File:New College Oxford chapel.jpg|New College, Oxford, the chapel exterior looking north-west File:New College, Oxford - the chapel.jpg|New College, Oxford, the chapel interior looking east File:New College cloisters.jpg|New College, Oxford, the cloisters File:Winchester - College 02.JPG|Winchester College, gateway File:Winchester - College.JPG|Winchester College, exterior of the chapel File:Winchester College Chapel.jpg|Winchester College, exterior of the chapel File:Wells - Cathedral c.1230, Cloisters.jpg|Wells Cathedral, the south-west tower File:Wardourcastle2.JPG|Wardour Castle File:Old Wardour castle.JPG|Wardour Castle File:Winchester Cathedral.JPG|Winchester Cathedral, west front File:Winchestercathedralwestwindow.jpg|Winchester Cathedral, great west window in nave File:Winchester Cathedral -exterior wall-21July2008.jpg|Winchester Cathedral, South nave aisle windows File:Winchester Cathedral 03.JPG|Winchester cathedral, nave looking east File:IMGP0204 - Winchester Cathedral - 20050322 a.jpg|Winchester cathedral, nave looking west File:Winchester cathedral 009.JPG|Winchester cathedral, south ailse looking east File:Catedral de Winchester - volta.JPG|Winchester cathedral, nave vaulting 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William Wynford」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
