Scholars who know Thomas Tresham (1543-1603), an Elizabethan knight, think of him primarily in the context of either Catholic recusant studies or Tudor architectural studies; for Tresham both was a prominent and oft persecuted recusant from 1581 when he defended himself against a charge of treason for having entertained the Jesuit priest, Edmund Campion, and Tresham built four distinctive structures in Rothwell, Rushton and Lyveden, Northamptonshire, three of which - the Rothwell Market Hall, the Warrener's Lodge (a.k.a., the "Triangular Lodge") and Lyveden New Bield - survive as distinctive national monuments, while the fourth - the Hawkfield Lodge - exists only in building records of Tresham's steward, George Levens, and from these records, in this study, in preliminary sketch form. This study also examines Tresham's religious beliefs in the context of the English Reformation, and his ideas for architectural design in the context of the English Renaissance, but utilizes them both in the service of reconstructing Tresham's use of architecture in order to establish and strengthen his status in Elizabethan society. The study therefore moves beyond Tresham's roles as recusant and architect to include Tresham as lawyer, farmer, husband, knight, civic leader, bibliophile, linguist, landlord, businessman, mystic - in short, as a polymath, not unlike his contemporary, John Dee. The study employs methods and scholarship from cartography, archaeology, literary studies, social history, agrarian history, anthropology, and the history of the book and print culture, to recreate from documentary and material evidence Tresham's perspective. Ultimately, it attempts to enter and recreate the landscape of Tresham's architectural imagination through observation and interpretation of three of his buildings to illuminate the emerging meaning of architecture in the late sixteenth-century as both a discrete discipline and as a signifier of oneself in the built environment. By reconstructing Tresham's perspective on the physical and cultural landscape of his historical milieu, one perceives that the three buildings manifest as Tresham's means of mapping himself on the landscape, thereby establishing his genealogical, social-historical, and spiritual place in both the temporal and eternal worlds.
