window, within a semicircular-headed recess, and may be dated about the time of
Henry II. Fig. 13 is a small lancet window, from the church of Calbourne, in the
Isle of Wight, of the age of Henry III. or Edward I.
Plate No. 77. The progressive enlargement of windows, from the lancet-shape
of a single light, to the earliest form with mullions, is shewn in this plate. Exte-
rior and interior elevations are given in figs. 1 and 2 of three distinct windows,
from the east end of the church of Castle Hedingham, in Essex. In fig. 5, east
end of Calbourne Church, two windows appear with a quatrefoil opening between
their heads. Fig. 4, from the east end of St. Bartholomew s Church, Sandwich, dis-
plays three lancet windows, of which the central one is somewhat higher than the
others, connected together by a common weather-moulding ; and fig. 6, from St. Au-
gustine's Priory, Canterbury, differs from the preceding only in having a quatrefoil
window in the gable. Fig. 3, from Chichester Cathedral, is an example of an early
pointed window with mullions; where the transition from the simple to the com-
pound form is plainly indicated, and the semicircular weather-moulding, as well
as the circular window above, mark the early date of the building.
A series of Semicircular and Pointed Arches, drawn to the same scale, with
their attached columns and piers, chronologically arranged, is shewn in Plate
Nos. 81 and 82.—No species of illustration is better calculated to satisfy the mind,
and afford ocular demonstration, than comparative or parallel representations of
any class of objects. The eye thus readily recognizes forms, proportions, and
nice variations : and tbe impression on the memory is more clear and lasting than
by any other mode of delineation. To afford the young architect and antiquary
the most satisfactory information in my power, and to induce-both to study the
genuine rudiments and the true science of Christian architecture, I have designed
and arranged the three ensuing plates. The dates of each subject I have also
endeavoured to ascertain and record ; but do not think it necessary to enter into
particular descriptions of the whole.
