This page since its creation has always been solely concerned with architecture. The title is in fact misleading, as Tudor style, could be concerned with dress, or in fact anything generating from that era. I propose that the content here is moved and incorporated at the
Tudorbethan page, which is the more common name for pseudo-Tudor architecture. This page could then be left a a redirect until some one wishes to write a page about complete Tudor style. Does anyone have a comment, objection or better idea.

Personally, I think Neo-Tudor's better. But it really depends whether it's recognised by the kind of people (don't mean to sound snobbish) who are attracted by that style!

"Tudorbethan" is modelled on
John Betjeman's 1933 coinage "
Jacobethan" which he used to describe the mixed revival style that had been called things like "Free English Renaissance". "Tudorbethan" takes it a step further. We do have a serious article on
Googie, after all. Whatever is decided, "Tudor style" should redirect to it, until someone finds a unity in the styles of Henry VII and Elizabeth I. --

Good idea Deb, and .....umm yes that did sound a just a tiny bit snobbish - take it you don't live surrounded by lacquered horse brasses and "olde worlde" charm, under a roof of luxuriant "plasti-thatch".

I hate to disagree with my old friend Wetman, but I also think Neo-Tudor is better, but in spite of that I think we should stick with Tudorbethan, as it seems daft creating even more pages on the same subject. You're right Debs real Tudor puts the imitations in their place so it's very hard to write these pages without letting the POV creep in.

There are quite a number of "Tudorbethan" houses, in fact a whole street of them, in our neck of the wood, every one with a nicely painted-on "half-timbered" look, which covers ordinary brickwork underneath. The owners regularly repaint the "timbers" black every few years or so and the "infills" white. No wonder, architects call it pastiche.

Tudorbethan is the actual term used by the Oxford Dictionary of Architecture for "a style of domestic architecture involving revival of Elizabethan, Jacobean and Tudor architectural elements..." They also carry entries on Tudor architecture for the actual period style, and one on Tudor Revival, but none on Tudor style. I think we might be justified to keep Tudorbethan. It is a bona fide term, although it uses a critical vocabulary.

The consensus seems to be to retain Tudorbethan make this a disambig page. I've just re-read Tudorbethan, it seems to me to cover the subject quite succinctly, perhaps the images from here could go there, but most of the info here is already there, what little is not can easily be put there. Concerning the redirect, I think this page should first be moved to
Tudor style (architecture) then made a redirect. I'll wait a few days to see if anyone else who contributed to Tudor style has a view and then get on with it.

I've incorporated much of the information here to
Tudorbethan. It reads a little clumsily at the moments so all help welcome! Tudor style is now moved to
Tudor style (architecture) and all are redirects. So if anyone wants to start a mammoth gargantuan page on all aspects of Tudor style they now can.
