ILLUSTRATIVE PRINTS.
Plate I. figure 7, represents the plan of the gateway, with its two large arches,
and their corresponding columns, mouldings, &c. also the disposition of the ribs
under the roof, and pilaster columns, with coved recesses between them: figure 8; is
an elevation of the eastern side of the gateway.—Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, display
the variety of ornaments which serve to enrich the mouldings of the arches. The
four figures and the shields are from the north front.
Plate II. The lower portion of the gateway, on the north side, shows the large
arch with its various ornamented mouldings, its two spiral columns, the facia im-
mediately over the arch, with indication of the inscription, also seven roses, three
shields of arms, and a crown. On the right-hand side of the print is represented
the highly enriched and elegant lateral arch. On its ponderous, carved door are
the letters % ^. and the date 1660.
Plate III. View of the south side, shews the whole elevation, as it now remains;
and it may be easily inferred from this print, how much the sash windows injure the
effect of the building. The large arch, on this side, is peculiarly rich in ornament,
and grand in effect. It is formed of four bold mouldings, each of which is covered
with sculptured ornaments, and each varies from the rest. In the spandrils are two
roses : over which is a row of shields, and other roses. Above are four statues in
niches, the two lower of which are supposed to represent Abbots Newland (to the
right), and Eliot (to the left).
