The Architecture made in the English Renaissance was very good. Some of the best places and buldings were created. In this time queen Elizabeth got many foreign architects to go build many buildings in this time of period. Sir Christopher Wren, creator of St. Paul's cathedral in London, made the building which gave what to talk about in the English Renaissance period. There was many buildings small or big but they were all very significant to the english people because were made during the english renaissance period. Practically the buildings made during this time period were to reconstruct the classical rome that exsisted in that time. Not only buildings were created but also statues and many other great works of art. Filippo Brunelleschi, Leon Battista Alberti, and Andrea Palladio this were three important key figures of The English Renaissance period. They were great artist. They made great art of works and i mean great buidlings which revived the classical rome. Brunelleschi is considered the first Renaissance architect. This three important figures were very important. They made a great difference in the English Renaissance with out them the buildings wouldn't of been made and we wouldn't of known about all this nice architectures that were made and that know we admire and think are so pretty and unique.http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/itar/hd_itar.htm

The Medicine was very important in the English Renaissance era. This was between the years 1400 to 1750. Well this was based on the on the greeks and romans. Most of the methods used were very uneffective. We can prove this with Charles 2 of England he died when he was 55 years old, of a stroke, and not even te best doctors could save him. he was being treated by diffrent doctors but none of the doctors could save his life. Not even the bestest doctor. When they finally discovered america this was of great help to the english people. They came back with medicinal plants and treatments. They also brought new technologies such as microscope emerged and more things. This overturned the believeing's they had about the middle ages which included greek, egyptian, and roman teachings about medicine which was proven to be uneffective because the new medicine introduced to the english people was very effective and they liked it. This was very interesting how each region had their own believeings but after seeing that how new remedies came into effect within that time period. It is very good how the techniques they used for there medicine are helping save lifes now in this modern day. Our ancestors have left us many good things and started us off so we can finish the things they left without finishing.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_Renaissance
