'''Gothic Revival''' (also referred to as '''Victorian Gothic''' or '''
The Gothic Revival movement's roots are intertwined with philosophical movements associated with [[Catholicism]] and a re-awakening of [[high church]] or [[Anglo-Catholic]] belief concerned by the growth of religious nonconformism. The "Anglo-Catholic" tradition of religious belief and style became known for its intrinsic appeal in the third quarter of the 19th century. Gothic Revival architecture varied considerably in its faithfulness to both the ornamental styles and construction principles of its medieval ideal, sometimes amounting to little more than pointed window frames and touches of neo-Gothic decoration on buildings otherwise created on wholly 19th-century plans, using contemporary materials and construction methods; most notably, this involved the use of iron and, after the 1880s, steel in ways never seen in medieval exemplars.
