side of the arch which is drawn, it at first escaped my eye.
but on the other side the greatest change is all at once: the
roses in the lower of the two white voussoirs becoming smaller
by at least ½ an inch on each side than those of the red
voussoir below; The three at the top are given larger
in fig 4, showing the reason of the diminuative in the squares
becoming rhombuss.
Fig 2 gives the section and elevation of either the
jamb or archivolt: and fig 3 their base, remarkable
for its bold dogt. close to ground, the recesses of the
chamfer at the great cable C run down through this base,
(this base going round the cable) till they reach the
lower roll of the base - over which at the angle is laid
a richly leaved shield - now much defaced - but evidently
of a luxuriant time: The roses, divided by an angular
incision, are like those of the water door: The
leaf rich plinth above the square door looks like an
interpolation: I must consider it carefully. There
has doubtless been a finial above: but it is gone;
The tympanum is glazed.
