NOTES ON FENNY BENTLEY CHURCH. i^j 



Chancel window, it is a few years earlier than the others. All of 

 them are very coarse work, even for Derbyshire, and one cannot 

 apply with strictness the same rules as to dates of architecture in 

 this county which are such certain guides in the valley of the 

 Nene, for instance. Perhaps 1360 would not be far off the date 

 of these windows. The extreme coarseness of their details, a 

 quality so usual in Derbyshire, and the absence of the distinctive 

 mouldings which are so usual in Northamptonshire, somewhat 

 hamper the inquirers who are accustomed to the works of a more 

 polished school.
