Summary

A detailed reconstruction of the Jesus Chapel, built by Abbot Islip at Westminster Abbey between 1524–26 and 1530, reveals its form and decoration. The study attributes its design to Henry Redman, a prominent mason for both the king and the abbey, placing it within the broader context of Islip's architectural projects. By analyzing available evidence, researchers provide insights into this significant historical structure, contributing to our understanding of late medieval English architecture.
