inclosing arches, and corbelled parapet, sound- 

 holes, &c. Font c. 1130-60. 

 SHOREHAM, OLD. Central tower, transepts, &c. a 



most important example. The tower has an ex- 

 ternal arcade, partly pierced in the upper story, and 

 circular sound-holes (cf. Southwick, New Shoreham, 

 and Jevington) ; and retains a coeval stair-turret. 

 The arches upon which it stands are richly orna- 

 mented, as is also the door in south transept. 



SOUTHWICK. Tower of stone and flints, c. 1 1 50 (lower 

 part earlier) with blind arches in middle story, 

 having pleated, scalloped, and other ornamented 

 capitals, zigzag string-course, coupled windows with 

 pointed heads, upper story sound-holes (cf. Old Shore- 

 ham and Jevington), and a corbel-table under eaves 

 of spire, originally crowned by a parapet. The 

 work is of peculiar character, and resembles that in 

 transepts at Sompting. 



STEYNING. The nave a work of great size and 

 beauty, richly ornamented is of this period 

 (c. 1150). One of the capitals is by the same 

 hand as those to the south door at Winchfield, 

 Hants ; another is very similar to one at Icklesham. 

 The rich clearstory windows and pilaster buttress 

 are other notable features. 



TELSCOMBE. Nave.

 ing, retaining several of the original windows,

FROM c. 1 1 60 TO c. 1200 



The pointed arch is used with greater frequency, side by side with the round (as in Rustington 

 tower and south arcades, and Seffrid's work, Chichester Cathedral). Stiff-leaf foliage of the most 

 beautiful type was slowly evolved. Windows were larger as a rule, and usually rebated for glazing. 

 The zigzag moulding is still occasionally found, as at the cathedral (vault over library), Climping 

 (tower doorway, together with dog-tooth work), Eastbourne, and Guestling (arches). 



ALDINGEOURNE. South nave, arcade and font, c. 1185, 

 south chapel, c. 1190.

 unusual undulating section as some in New Shore- 

 ham quire, and the capitals are similarly carved, 

 c. 1185.

 dog-tooth moulding, &c., c . \ 1 80.

 detached shafts of piers and the union of circular 

 and pointed arches in the eastern bays of the quire, 

 also the fine stiff-leaf foliage and square abaci. Cf. 

 the corbels to arch in south transept with those 

 over quire arcades, New Shoreham.
