Jacobethan
Jacobethan is the style designation coined in 1933 by John Betjeman to describe the mixed national Renaissance revival style that was made popular in England from the late 1820s, which derived most of its inspiration and its repertory from the English Renaissance (1550–1625), with elements of Elizabethan and Jacobean. The "Jacobethan" architectural style is also called "Jacobean Revival". Betjeman's original definition of the style is as follows:
The term caught on with art historians. Timothy Mowl asserts in The Elizabethan and Jacobean Style (2001) that the 'Jacobethan' style represents the last outpouring of an authentically native genius that was stifled by slavish adherence to European baroque taste.
As an architectural term
In architecture the style's main characteristics are flattened, cusped "Tudor" arches, lighter stone trims around windows and doors, carved brick detailing, steep roof gables, often terra-cotta brickwork, balustrades and parapets, pillars supporting porches and high chimneys as in the Elizabethan style. Examples of this style are Harlaxton Manor in Lincolnshire (illustration), Mentmore Towers in Buckinghamshire and Sandringham House in Norfolk, England.

LANHYDROCK, a quintessential Jacobean style country house refurbished in the Victorian style.
Lanhydrock was built in the 1620's but the estate was much older. The land had belonged to the Priory of St Petroc but was taken away after the Dissolution of the Monasteries and given to important landowners instead. In 1620 the land was sold to Sir Richard Robartes, later 1st Earl Radnor who planned to create a large Manor House. He died soon after the work began and it was his son John that finished the work in 1651. Lanhydrock remained in the same family for many years but on 4th April 1881 a devastating fire that started in the roof, ripped through the building and severely damaged much of the house. Lord Robartes was keen to prevent another fire and for this reason the house had neither gas or electricity. New ceilings were constructed of fireproof reinforced concrete twelve inc...

Here in the United Kingdom, we are blessed with a rich variety of building styles and designs. The external aesthetics of a building are a great indicator as to what era the property was originally constructed in.

Although disputed these periods normally correlate with the name of the ruler or monarch at the time of construction.
Today I am here at The Marble House in Warwick. Believed to have been built around 1650 this property is somewhere in the Stuart and Jacobean era between 1604 and 1713.
Between 1603 -1625 James I ruled the lands. James was the son of Mary Queen of Scots and Lord Darnley. He was the first king to rule over Scotland and England. James was more of a scholar than a man of action. In 1605 the Gunpowder Plot was hatched: Guy Fawkes and his Catholic friends tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament, but they were captured before they could do so.
James’s reign saw the publication of the Authorised Version of the Bible, though this caused problems with the Puritans and their attitude towards the established church. In 1620 the Pilgrim Fathers sailed for America in their ship The Mayflower.
Between 1625 – 1649 we had Charles I and the subsequent English Civil War.
The son of James I and Anne of Denmark, Charles believed that he ruled by Divine Right. He encountered difficulties with Parliament from the beginning, and this led to the outbreak of the English Civil War in 1642. The war lasted four years and following the defeat of Charles’s Royalist forces by the New Model Army, led by Oliver Cromwell, Charles was captured and imprisoned.
The House of Commons tried Charles for treason against England and when found guilty he was condemned to death. His death warrant states that he was beheaded on Tuesday 30th January 1649. Following this the British monarchy was abolished, and a republic called the Commonwealth of England was declared.
The Civil War in the 1640s and 50s and the Great Fire of London in 1666 both had a marked effect on the way British homes evolved. After the blaze destroyed 13,200 wooden-built houses across the capital in four days, Parliament decreed that homes must be built of brick. The War sent many gentlemen to the Continent to flee the fighting or later to follow Charles II into exile, where they were hugely influenced by French, Dutch and Italian architecture, leading to a flurry of buildings which reflected the latest European trends, and which eventually filtered down from the nobility to the masses.
Synonymous with the era were flat-fronted, bare brick-built houses with sash windows, often built in a classical Palladian style with gothic touches. At the beginning of this period, life for the Middling Sort – forerunners of the middle classes – centred on The Hall, the first-floor room where the entire household, gathered to dine, socialise and entertain guests. But from the 1660s, the parlour and the dining room became the main living areas for the family, signalling a change in the way households lived with a greater separation between the family, their servants, apprentices and other employees.
The economy was growing, and the Middling Sort were prospering, and able to buy expensive items from overseas like silver, porcelain, colourful textiles, mirrors and clocks to adorn their homes. It was during this period that servants would be accommodated in smaller rooms at the top of the house
On the 5th September at 2pm in 1694 a fire ravaged through the town of Warwick. If The Marble House was not built of locally sourced Ashlar Sandstone it may well have suffered the same fate as many of the other properties in Warwick.
The fire started from a spark from a torch that was being carried up the High Street, it quickly progressed to Castle Street and Market Street. It destroyed many of the Tudor wooden frame buildings throughout the town. In just six hours the fire destroyed over 150 homes.
As a result of the fire parliament passed The Fire Act of 1694 which established new rules and regulations on architecture.
The Act stated that public streets and roads should all be made a certain regulated width. The town gave compensation to those whose property was destroyed by the street widening process. The fire created an urban design revolution. Its aftermath gave the town of Warwick symmetry, uniformity and a new flair.
One family are credited to the beautiful buildings that emerged post fire here in Warwick. The brothers Francis and William Smith. In 1695 William was appointed surveyor for the fire council. He went on to have two separate reigns as the towns mayor.

Lanhydrock was built in the 1620's but the estate was much older. The land had belonged to the Priory of St Petroc but was taken away after the Dissolution of the Monasteries and given to important landowners instead.
In 1620 the land was sold to Sir Richard Robartes, later 1st Earl Radnor who planned to create a large Manor House. He died soon after the work began and it was his son John that finished the work in 1651.
Lanhydrock remained in the same family for many years but on 4th April 1881 a devastating fire that started in the roof, ripped through the building and severely damaged much of the house.
Lord Robartes was keen to prevent another fire and for this reason the house had neither gas or electricity. New ceilings were constructed of fireproof reinforced concrete twelve inches thick. A huge reservoir was buried in the higher garden to supply water to the house and to the new fire hydrants.
The best preserved parts of the house are the Gatehouse and the Gallery with a superb plasterwork ceiling and library. The house was built in a Jacobean style with a strict Victorian moral code, which segregated public and private areas, master and servant, young and old, male and female. The rooms you see today were created after the fire and are among the best preserved Victorian kitchens, nursery suite and staff quarters in Britain. The house offers a fascinating insight into a lost world of both above and below stairs.
The fortunes of the house declined further as the family diminished throughout the 20th century. The National Trust accepted the property in 1953 but was considered a white elephant. National Trust's Regional Director for Cornwall, the late Michael Trinick, worked tirelessly towards interpreting Lanhydrock and shows a way of like which most houses had come to an end by 1914.

Here in the United Kingdom, we are blessed with a rich variety of building styles and designs. The external aesthetics of a building are a great indicator as to what era the property was originally constructed in.
There are also many other factors to help you zero in on the history of a property. The period that the property was built will have a huge bearing as to the construction method and materials used.
Although disputed these periods normally correlate with the name of the ruler or monarch at the time of construction.
Today I am here at The Marble House in Warwick. Believed to have been built around 1650 this property is somewhere in the Stuart and Jacobean era between 1604 and 1713.
Between 1603 -1625 James I ruled the lands. James was the son of Mary Queen of Scots and Lord Darnley. He was the first king to rule over Scotland and England. James was more of a scholar than a man of action. In 1605 the Gunpowder Plot was hatched: Guy Fawkes and his Catholic friends tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament, but they were captured before they could do so.
James’s reign saw the publication of the Authorised Version of the Bible, though this caused problems with the Puritans and their attitude towards the established church. In 1620 the Pilgrim Fathers sailed for America in their ship The Mayflower.
Between 1625 – 1649 we had Charles I and the subsequent English Civil War.
The son of James I and Anne of Denmark, Charles believed that he ruled by Divine Right. He encountered difficulties with Parliament from the beginning, and this led to the outbreak of the English Civil War in 1642. The war lasted four years and following the defeat of Charles’s Royalist forces by the New Model Army, led by Oliver Cromwell, Charles was captured and imprisoned.
The House of Commons tried Charles for treason against England and when found guilty he was condemned to death. His death warrant states that he was beheaded on Tuesday 30th January 1649. Following this the British monarchy was abolished, and a republic called the Commonwealth of England was declared.
The Civil War in the 1640s and 50s and the Great Fire of London in 1666 both had a marked effect on the way British homes evolved. After the blaze destroyed 13,200 wooden-built houses across the capital in four days, Parliament decreed that homes must be built of brick. The War sent many gentlemen to the Continent to flee the fighting or later to follow Charles II into exile, where they were hugely influenced by French, Dutch and Italian architecture, leading to a flurry of buildings which reflected the latest European trends, and which eventually filtered down from the nobility to the masses.
Synonymous with the era were flat-fronted, bare brick-built houses with sash windows, often built in a classical Palladian style with gothic touches. At the beginning of this period, life for the Middling Sort – forerunners of the middle classes – centred on The Hall, the first-floor room where the entire household, gathered to dine, socialise and entertain guests. But from the 1660s, the parlour and the dining room became the main living areas for the family, signalling a change in the way households lived with a greater separation between the family, their servants, apprentices and other employees.
The economy was growing, and the Middling Sort were prospering, and able to buy expensive items from overseas like silver, porcelain, colourful textiles, mirrors and clocks to adorn their homes. It was during this period that servants would be accommodated in smaller rooms at the top of the house
On the 5th September at 2pm in 1694 a fire ravaged through the town of Warwick. If The Marble House was not built of locally sourced Ashlar Sandstone it may well have suffered the same fate as many of the other properties in Warwick.
The fire started from a spark from a torch that was being carried up the High Street, it quickly progressed to Castle Street and Market Street. It destroyed many of the Tudor wooden frame buildings throughout the town. In just six hours the fire destroyed over 150 homes.
As a result of the fire parliament passed The Fire Act of 1694 which established new rules and regulations on architecture.
The Act stated that public streets and roads should all be made a certain regulated width. The town gave compensation to those whose property was destroyed by the street widening process. The fire created an urban design revolution. Its aftermath gave the town of Warwick symmetry, uniformity and a new flair.
One family are credited to the beautiful buildings that emerged post fire here in Warwick. The brothers Francis and William Smith. In 1695 William was appointed surveyor for the fire council. He went on to have two separate reigns as the towns mayor.

Lanhydrock was built in the 1620's but the estate was much older. The land had belonged to the Priory of St Petroc but was taken away after the Dissolution of the Monasteries and given to important landowners instead.
In 1620 the land was sold to Sir Richard Robartes, later 1st Earl Radnor who planned to create a large Manor House. He died soon after the work began and it was his son John that finished the work in 1651.
Lanhydrock remained in the same family for many years but on 4th April 1881 a devastating fire that started in the roof, ripped through the building and severely damaged much of the house.
Lord Robartes was keen to prevent another fire and for this reason the house had neither gas or electricity. New ceilings were constructed of fireproof reinforced concrete twelve inches thick. A huge reservoir was buried in the higher garden to supply water to the house and to the new fire hydrants.
The best preserved parts of the house are the Gatehouse and the Gallery with a superb plasterwork ceiling and library. The house was built in a Jacobean style with a strict Victorian moral code, which segregated public and private areas, master and servant, young and old, male and female. The rooms you see today were created after the fire and are among the best preserved Victorian kitchens, nursery suite and staff quarters in Britain. The house offers a fascinating insight into a lost world of both above and below stairs.
The fortunes of the house declined further as the family diminished throughout the 20th century. The National Trust accepted the property in 1953 but was considered a white elephant. National Trust's Regional Director for Cornwall, the late Michael Trinick, worked tirelessly towards interpreting Lanhydrock and shows a way of like which most houses had come to an end by 1914.

A Victorian building
Jacobethan
Jacobethan is the style designation coined in 1933 by John Betjeman to describe the mixed national Renaissance revival style that was made popular in England from the late 1820s, which derived most of its inspiration and its repertory from the English Renaissance (1550–1625), with elements of Elizabethan and Jacobean. The "Jacobethan" architectural style is also called "Jacobean Revival". Betjeman's original definition of the style is as follows:
The term caught on with art historians. Timothy Mowl asserts in The Elizabethan and Jacobean Style (2001) that the 'Jacobethan' style represents the last outpouring of an authentically native genius that was stifled by slavish adherence to European baroque taste.
As an architectural term
In architecture the style's main characteristics are flattened, cusped "Tudor" arches, lighter stone trims around windows and doors, carved brick detailing, steep roof gables, often terra-cotta brickwork, balustrades and parapets, pillars supporting porches and high chimneys as in the Elizabethan style. Examples of this style are Harlaxton Manor in Lincolnshire (illustration), Mentmore Towers in Buckinghamshire and Sandringham House in Norfolk, England.
