Plate 6 from: Rickman, Thomas (1817) An attempt to discriminate the styles of English architecture, from the Conquest to the Reformation, London: Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown

This plate contains parts of various styles.

a, The top of an ogee canopy, with plain bold

crockets, and a finial which has under it a neck

moulding.

b, A pinnacle, and part of its pedestal, which is

pannelled, and has an ogee cinquefoiled head. The

pinnacle has its canopies crocketed, with finials, and

a plain neck moulding; the points stopt by figures.

The pinnacle has a finial and neck moulding, consisting

of an astragal and two fillets.

c, The finishing of the buttresses of the Beauchamp

chapel. The set-off seen is of bold hollows, and the

pedestal rises with a two-light pannel with trefoiled

heads. The upper part has four square pannels, which

are quatrefoiled, and the plan made octagonal by

figures at the corners supporting small shafts. In the

capping, a flower is placed in the corners, and the

whole has a small battlement.

d, A portion of a dripstone from York minster ; it

has the ball flower in the hollow, and two varieties of

crockets.

e, A capping moulding, with two varieties of Early

English crockets.

j\ The common mullion moulding, used, with

various proportions of its parts, in both the Decorated

and Perpendicular styles.

g, A Perpendicular mullion of elaborate character,

from the chancel of Warwick church.

A, Part of the same mullion with the exterior archi-

trave.

i, Half of the principal mulli ons of the window at

the west end of Beverley minster ; this window con-

tains four sets of mullions.

k, The common battlement capping, showing how

it is finished at the back.

/, The common string moulding of Decorated and

Perpendicular work, used for cornices and tablets of

various descriptions, and of sizes according to its uses.

m, A beautiful tablet moulding, much used in rich

Decorated buildings.

n, The most common late base moulding.

o, The Early English toothed ornament between two

filleted rounds, its most usual position.

p, The square flower used in cornices, &c. ; it is

often made much richer than here represented.

q, A rose often used in late Perpendicular works,

particularly in wood-work.

r, Plan of a division of groining ; that is, a repre-

sentation of its appearance looking np at it from uncle 1 *

its centre. The ribs, which run from corner to corner,

are called the cross springers, and the longer side line

will be in this example the pier rib, and the shorter

the arch rib on the wall ; the short central line will be

the longitudinal rib, (this being a division from a

nave,) and the longer one the cross rib. In this exam-

ple there is only one additional rib between the cross

springers and the pier rib, and these are represented

of smaller size. There are bosses at the intersections.
