In 1850, George Gilbert Scott expressed his idea on the restoration in his pamphlet "A Plea for the Faithful Restoration of Our Ancient Churches". Although he insisted on "Conservatism" in restoration, his actual works made it clear that he had a strong prejudice in favour of the Middle Pointed style of Gothic. When an architect had his own favourite style of architecture, his restoration works would be influenced by his favour. We do not appreciate these types of restoration. But in the Victorian Age, architects restored buildings to bring them back into the ideal style. And they never thought themselves doing wrong. In fact we cannot say them wrong. But our modern way of restoration differs much from those of them. It would possibly be said that it was the difference between modern and pre-modern attitude to the past. In G. G. Scott, we can find typical Victorian way of restoration.
