Abstract (en)

Detailed account of the controversy over how best to preserve or restore the 11th c. remains of Westminster Hall, London, which took place in the 1880s. J.L. Pearson eventually built a new wing and a "cloister" to protect the archaeological remains of the earlier hall, despite intense opposition to his proposal.
