ARCHITECTURAL ANTIQUITIES.
Immediately over it is a string-course, dividing the elevation into two unequal
parts, both of which are lower than the like divisions in the body of the church.
Here the windows and niches are dissimilar to those on the north side, as well as to
those on the south side of the nave.
Plate II. A. Elevation of the east end, presents three distinct and very dissimilar
parts, the lower portion of which has been already described, p. 25. The second,
or middle tier, shews four small arched recesses, with three windows, all of which
have simi-circular tops. Over these is a bold block-cornice, with a sculptured frieze
of foliage, &c. In the centre of the pediment is a circular window,* which is
divided into eight glazed portions, having a short column in the shape of a mullion.
Round the whole is a sculptured architrave moulding ; the columns are terminated
with ornamented capitals of human heads, &c. On each side of this window are
various pieces of sculpture. B. Sectional view of the interior of the east end, dis-
plays the three windows immediately over the altar, with the circular one above :
part of the fascia running round the former, and continuing round the interior of the
church, is shewn E. The section at C. between the body of the church and
chancel, has been described in p. 24, as well as the capital at F. The capital and
arch-moulding D. are enlarged views of those on each side of the niches c. c.
Plate III. Section and elevation of the north side, represent the architectural
features of the interior and exterior of the north wall of the church and chancel:
the design and arrangement of which are nearly uniform.
Plate IV. The grand door-way on the south side is noticed p. 25.
Plate V. Perspective view of the church from the south-east, shews the whole
building : but the landscape is not intended to be a correct representation of the
scenery.—In this subordinate part the artist has liberty to exercise a little fancy.
* A window of very similar shape and character is inserted in the east end of the church at Castle Hedingham,
Essex.
