12 TWELFTII ANNUAL MEETING. 



English, very piain, and some of tbem seemingly unfinished; 

 one especlally on tlie south side, with small angle shaft8 

 witli flowered capitals. The fönt is of the same date. 

 The Avindows are of various dates, from Trefoll-lancets to 

 ordlnary Perpendicular ; the most remarkable are some 

 square-headed ones Avith fine flowing tracery. The roofs 

 are throughout of the local coved form, except in the south 

 aisle of the nave, Avliich has tie-beams. The tovver is 

 Perpendicular, a good piain specimen of the Bristol type, 

 but disfigured by the loss of its parapet and pinnacles. 

 There is a cross-legged effigy in the north aisle. 



TiCKENHAM Court. i\Ir. Parker observed that Tick- 

 enhani Court is a manor house, probably of the tinie of 

 PIcnry IV., or the beginning of the fifteenth Century, and 

 without any appearance of having been fortificd, though it 

 was no doubt enclosed by an outer wall. The hall is 

 nearly perfect, and Stands at a right angle to the otlier 

 part of the housc, so that we have two sides of the quad- 

 rangle only remaining. The hall windows are eacli of two 

 lights, with flouing tracery rcsembling the Decorated style 

 of the previous Century, but the arch mouldings are of the 

 Perpendicular style ; the outer arch is pointed, the inner 

 arch, or rear-arch as it is called, is segmental. The roof is 

 perfect, of piain open timber of simple construction, the 

 principals archcd to the collars, with good pnnnelled stone 

 corbels. At the lower end are the usual three doorways 

 to the kitchen and offices, now destroyed, Aviiich probably 

 occupied another wing, making a third side to the court ; 

 at the Upper end of the hall is the arch of the bay window, 

 now destroyed. The remaining wing of the house is 

 divided into two stories, Avith square-headed AvindoAA'S of 

 the same period ; and at the back of this Aving are tAA'o 

 turrets, one octagonal for the siaircase, the other Square 

 for the garderobcs.
