132 THE CHANGE FROM HEADED WINDOWS

House is 

 that which 

 he favoured,

 probable 

 that a draw- 

 ing entitled 

 " The upper

 (Fig. 88) is 

 a sketch by 

 him for the 

 windows in 

 the upper 

 story of this 

 building. 

 By compar- 

 i n g this 

 sketch with 

 that of the 

 Banqueting 

 House (Fig. 

 36) the simi- 

 larity will be apparent. Jones, like Webb after him, was a student 

 of Serlio, and he has a sheet of sketches of windows taken from 

 Serlio with notes of his own appended. He and Webb do not 

 seem to have concerned themselves with the filling of the window 

 space, all they troubled about was the proportion and embellish- 

 ment of the main opening. Yet the filling is of considerable 

 interest. Mullioned windows were filled with lead lights, which 

 only required glass of small size. Their successors, where the 

 main opening was large, appear to have been filled with wooden 

 frames having mullions and transoms of the same material, which 

 reduced the actual openings to a size suitable for glazing in the 

 old way. Later on the lead which held the glass was replaced 

 by thick wooden bars holding glass of a larger size. But the 

 opening part of all these windows was a casement, that is a
