"In architectural acoustics, Cathedrals and Churches are usually give specific acoustic characteristics and their acoustic treatments therefore are relatively difficult. In the case of Jakarta, there is only one Cathedral that was built around 1890 with a Neo-Gothic style and now is still being used. The capacity of the Cathedral is for 800 people, it has been used for Catholic masses and sometimes for musical, choir, and chamber orchestra performances. The plan shape of the cathedral is cross with 60 m length, main width is JO m and 5 m for the aisles in each side. The height of the ceiling is 17 m. The electro-acoustic is used for the masses and performances, although it is said that it is not necessary. The acoustic attribute judged to the cathedral therefore should be assessed and evaluated, by investigating the behaviour of sound. This paper evaluates the acoustic properties of the cathedral in relation with its shape and dimensions. The surrounding materials used for the cathedral are also evaluated. The acoustic measurements involved are reverberation time. The derived acoustic parameters were then validated with the theoretical predictions. Besides, subjective predictions were used from several seating positions. The results obtained from the measurements indicated that the design of cathedral is appropriate regarding its RT for masses and choirs as well as the interior design for architectural point of view, and therefore the judgement for not using electro-acoustic is appropriate."

"This book takes as its subject the many hundreds of parish churches built in England in the middle ages by the gentry, the knights and esquires, the lords of country manors. It uses lordly engagement with the parish church as a way of opening up questions about gentry, piety, and sociability, focusing on the gentry as founders and builders of churches, worshippers in them, holders of church advowsons, and patrons and sponsors of parochial communities. It also looks at how the gentrys interest in the parish church sat alongside their patronage of the monks and friars, and their use of private chapels in their manor houses. The book successfully weaves together themes in social, religious, and architectural history, examining in all its variety a subject that has hitherto been considered only in journal articles. Written in an accessible style, the book makes a significant contribution not only to the history of the English gentry but also to the history of the rural parish church, an institution now in the forefront of medieval historical studies."
