Abstract
The Rewley House Studies in the Historic Environment have established a track record of publishing the valuable papers given at conferences on architectural history organized by Oxford University’s Department of Continuing Education. This volume, the seventh in a projected series of ten on places of worship, covers the building, restoration, and adaptation of churches, chapels, and synagogues in the British Isles in a period when population growth, economic resources, and denominational competition encouraged a dramatic expansion in the religious built environment. The thirteen chapters range from overviews of Ireland, Scotland, and Welsh Nonconformity to studies of worship and music, English Roman Catholic cathedrals, Catholic monasteries, Orthodox churches, and synagogues. Geoff Brandwood and Michael Hall provide expert analysis of the Cambridge Camden Society and Anglican High Church architecture after 1870, respectively; both chapters are enriched by outstanding illustrations. William Whyte supplies an introduction, while Paul Barnwell gathers up the threads of the volume and provides plentiful material on denominational contexts in a substantial conclusion. Methodism, in its various branches, appears in Clyde Binfield’s lively survey of Protestant Nonconformity and in Susan Fielding’s chapter on Wales. At a time when historic chapels are falling victim to denominational decline and straitened resources, or to an enthusiasm for selling property assets to raise funds for other purposes, an awareness of the history and significance of nineteenth-century buildings is much needed, and this excellent volume is very welcome.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
