Excerpt from The Ecclesiologist, 1846, Vol. 6The windows, which follow next in order, are always of one light, and have hardly any feature in common with those which are generally supposed to be peculiar to anglo-saxon, except their smallness, and that some of them have triangular heads. The windows appear to have been without glass, and are splayed internally, among the older churches only one instance is quoted of the splay both internally and externally, which is a characteristic of our anglo-saxon architecture, though in later churches it is not uncommon.I have next to speak of the triumphal or chancel arches, which, in the larger churches, stand in the division between the nave and chancel. These, in the primitive churches of undoubted antiquity, are also of an equally nu ornamented construction, but the arches are usually formed with great skill, and of blocks of stone nearly all of e ual size. These arches are invariably semicircular, and generall spring om jambs which have an inclination corresponding with those 0 the doorways and windows, and which are usually without imposts. - P. 183.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
