The
Jacobean style is the second phase of
Renaissance architecture in England, following the
Elizabethan style. It is named after King
James I of England, with whose reign (1603-1625 in England) it is associated. At the start of James' reign there was little stylistic break in architecture, as Elizabethan trends continued their development. However his death in 1625 came as a decisive change towards more classical architecture, with Italian influence, was in progress, led by
Inigo Jones; the style this began is sometimes called Stuart architecture, or
English Baroque (though the latter term may be regarded as starting later).
