Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
This article classifies the four types of window head containing tracery carved from a single stone. The date range, from mid-13th cent to 15th cent, is not of especial significance. The type of tracery varies from simple intersected bar to quite complicated reticulated work. The width of window opening ranges from 30in to 80in, though mainly below 60in. The distribution of the thirty-five surviving examples is widespread, though concentrated on the centre of the county. In Northumberland almost half the later medieval church tracery may have been monolithic, rather than formed by smaller jointed stones. Explanation is sought partly in the strength of local tradition in masons' skills in a rural area, partly in the predominance of the masons employment upon military building in rough masonry. LASB |
