Abstract: |
During the repair of windows on the south face of Palace of Holyroodhouse a recording exercise was undertaken on the easternmost two windows on the first and second floors. It was found that the windows were constructed with the appearance of sash windows but did not have the necessary fittings to work as such. Behind the widows was masonry blocking thought to have been in situ when these windows were first installed. Inscriptions seen on the blocking and window panes consist mostly of signed names, many dated 1867. Glass from previous repairs was cleared out from between the window frames and the blocking at the first floor level, but there were no inscriptions visible on the fragments. It was noted here that the windows were made with thinner glass while the sherds found included both this and thicker window glass. It was thought the thinner glass replaced the earlier window glass. |
