Abstract
Discusses the under-noticed aspect of medievalist architecture in the nineteenth century represented by industrialism, especially via instances in the northwest of England. This proposes an apparent conundrum: the adoption, by agents of bourgeois capital, of aristocratic forms. I discuss the emergence of a strand of revolutionary thinking from romantic medievalism, but also discuss the ways in which it is later co-opted by more reactionary forces.
