The Architectural History of King's College Chapel, first published in 1986, offers a comprehensive account of the intricate processes that led to the construction of this remarkable chapel. Authored by Francis Woodman, the book delves into various aspects, including structure, style, finance, and patronage, to present a detailed understanding of the organization and mechanics of the structural campaigns that spanned over seventy years. Woodman challenges the conventional construction sequence by proposing a new sequence that sheds light on changes in policy regarding the partial vaulting of the chapel. Additionally, the book provides the first comprehensive analysis of Tudor building accounts, which hold immense significance in the study of mediaeval architectural history.

Kings College Chapel is situated within the broader context of contemporary architecture in England and France, and for the first time, English late mediaeval architecture is considered and presented as part of a wider European movement. This book is an essential resource for scholars and researchers interested in British architecture and architectural history. It offers valuable insights into the architectural developments of the period and contributes to our understanding of the rich cultural heritage of England.
