ECCLESIASTICAL ARCHITECTURE 



FROM c. 1260 TO c. 1300 



Window tracery in this period develops from mere piercings into connected geometrical 

 designs, with slender mullions, and although there is comparatively little work within these dates in 

 Sussex, it is of the best. The Cathedral Lady chapel, the chancel of St. Mary's Hospital, 

 Chichester, and the churches of Trotton and Chalvington (entirely of this period) are all excellent. 

 The doorway at Amberley is quite a little gem, and the window tracery at Isfield and Harting is 

 both original and excellent in design. 



AMBERLEY. South door, one of the best examples of 

 this period in Sussex. Note the finely carved 

 natural foliage of the caps and the beautiful mould- 

 ings of arch and jambs. Cf. the Lady chapel, 

 Chichester Cathedral, c. 1290-1300. 



ATHERINGTON CHAPEL. Cf. 

 Ditchling, Chailey, &c., 

 in last list. The beauti- 

 ful windows, with capitals 

 of natural foliage, date 

 from c. 1270. 



BOTOLPHS. Tower and 

 chancel windows. Low 

 side windows, one with a 

 good ogee-trefoiled head. 

 East window has early in- 

 teresting tracery, c. 1290- 

 1300. 



BOXGROVE. Windows of 

 quire aisles, square-headed, 

 with early tracery. 



BUXTED. Chancel. Very 

 rich work. Sedilia, piscina, 

 and windows. It has been 

 suggested, from the like- 

 ness, that this is by the 

 same architect as Solihull 

 Church, Warw. 



CHALVINGTON. Entire 

 church, with good tracery 

 windows. Note flat heads 

 of chancel north and south 

 windows, and coeval glass, 

 c. 1290. 



CHICHESTER CATHEDRAL. 

 Lady chapel, c. 1290- 

 i 300. Beautiful windows 

 (geometrical tracery) and 

 delicate natural foliage 

 carving. Cf. the fine series 

 of carved misericordes and 

 canopies to quire with 

 those at St. Mary's Hospital ; the dates are close 

 together, c. 1290-1300. 



CHICHESTER, ST. MARY'S HOSPITAL. Quire with win- 

 dows, piscina, sedilia, screen, and stalls, c. \ 290-1 300. 

 The screen is a magnificent piece of early wood- 

 work the finest of its kind in the south of England. 

 The misericordes are also among the best of this 

 date remaining. (Note elaborate geometrical 

 tracery.) 



COCKING. South aisle and chancel windows. Cf. 

 similar work at Coldwaltham, c. 1 290. 



FELPHAM. Side window of chancel, and priest's door : 

 tall ogee trefoiled lights with quatrefoils over. 

 Cf. Old Shoreham, c. 1 290.

 piscina, c. 1280 



FRAMFIELD. North chapel, with a good early tracery 



window, c. 1290.

 HORSTED, LITTLE. Windows in nave with early 



tracery of peculiar design (restored), c. 1290.

(one a low side window), priest's door, and good 



buttresses, c. 1290-1300.
