Regarding Liturgical Movement and the Newman Chapel

To User: Cardofk, thank you for your reminder that I need to have more sources for my edit, but I do not think it is mere opinion to say this chapel reflected the medievalist taste prevalent at that time in the liturgical movement. There are many examples of contemporary buildings done in the same or a similar style, with the furnishings, especially the altar constructed in a medieval Northern European manner. An excellent example of this would be the Downside Abbey in England, with its many altars by Sir Ninian Comper. Please also see these two articles(which I have added as sources) for more information on this: https://www.liturgicalartsjournal.com/2020/09/three-before-and-after-projects-of.html https://www.liturgicalartsjournal.com/2023/05/the-history-and-forms-of-christian.html. The first article shows multiple examples of newly constructed "English altars", with the ornamental details and furnishings characteristic of the medieval gothic churches, such as the rood beam, found in all these examples. As such, it is evident that my statement "The building's architecture and furnishing reflects the more medievalist tastes of the Liturgical Movement at that time" was by no means any unverified "opinion", but a valid fact.
