However, due to the upheavals of the Civil War and the Interregnum, the style never fully took hold. Its influences can be seen in his work at the QueenвЂ™s House in Greenwich, the Banqueting House in Whitehall, and the QueenвЂ™ s Chapel in St James вЂ™s, London. Palladianism was not new to Britain, for it had been championed by Inigo Jones (1573-1652) in the preceding century. Neo-Palladianism, which also incorporated ideas drawn from the work of Serlio and other Renaissance sources, remained popular from 1714 to about 1760. He sought to revive the principles that had underpinned ancient architecture, including proportion, symmetry, and the correct use of the Classical orders. The Palladian style of architecture derived largely from the work of Andrea Palladio (1508-1580), a sixteenth-century Venetian architect, who in turn had been inspired by ancient Roman architecture. T he arrival of the Hanoverian monarchy in 1714 marked a major break with the past and inspired a new, fresh style of architecture: Palladianism or neo-Palladianism. British country houses, and the now largely lost town palaces, perhaps provide the high water mark of Georgian architectural innovation, style and taste, while the beautiful terraces of Bath, Bristol, London, Edinburgh, Dublin and Newcastle upon Tyne have come to epitomise its architectural elegance and sophistication. Classical architecture largely define d the age and many of the buildings erected then are today protected in law, whether by being listed or included in a Conservation Area. Industrial and civic buildings, town and country houses and villas, more often than not in the Classical style, were all thrown up, and great designed landscapes created. In Britain, the Georgian era, which was relatively peaceful and prosperous, saw a great increase in building. The term вЂ late Georgian вЂ™ is often used to describe the arts and architecture of the reign of William IV, but after his death in 1837 the term Victorian is used. The Georgian periodВ runsВ from 1714, the year of George IвЂ™s accession, to 1830, when George IV died.
