THE CHAPEL AT BRASENOSE COLLEGE 10<> 



building worthy 

 of being coupled 

 with a great 

 name. It would 

 appear that a Mr 

 John Jackson 

 superintended 

 the building 

 operations, and 

 as he made a 

 model for the 

 chapel roof, 1 he 

 may fairly be 

 credited with the 

 whole design. 

 The first stone 

 of the chapel 

 was laid on the 

 i8th June 1656, 

 and the work 

 was practically 

 finished by 1666, 

 in which year, 

 on the i/th 

 November, the 

 dedication took 

 place. 



The old house in Southgate, Gloucester (Fig. 65), until 

 recently the City Tea Warehouse, is a curious mixture of the 

 old and new styles. According to the date on a chimney-piece 

 it was built in 1650. The projecting stories, the panels and 

 brackets below the windows of the top floor, and, indeed, the 

 general treatment of the whole front, belong to the order of 

 things that was passing away. The wide windows with their 

 pediments, some straight and some curved, and the stiff floral 

 pendents are indicative of the new style then coming into vogue. 

 If the sash-windows were adopted from the outset, they would 

 be a still more decidedly modern note. But if, as in all proba- 

 bility was the case, they merely replace the original mullions 

 the native aspect of the front would have been less classic.
