A #HouseOfStuart church in #StuartLondon was typically influenced by #Gothic #Architecture the #Renaissance & #Jacobean extravagance. Craftsmen embellished fine woodwork with ornate decorative mouldings to add drama to interiors e.g. #HammerbeamRoof. Yet, the new fashion, initiated by #InigoJones, swept away the picturesque Gothic in favour of a disciplined #Palladian symmetry.

Architect #InigoJones was a champion of #Palladian #Architecture, who was closely associated with the early #HouseOfStuart regime. When the #HouseOfHanover adopted new Palladianism, they formed a legitimate continuity between their #RoyalHouse and that of their Stuart ancestors, bypassing any authority over the Protestant throne from #ThePretender & the #Jacobite movement.
