slightly cambered beam. 

 In some cases a good 

 effect is gained by build- 

 ing the piers round and 

 square alternately (Fig. 

 264) . It is not difficult 

 to have bricks specially 

 moulded for building in 

 the circular form. At 

 Home Place, Norfolk 

 (Fig. 265), a clever use is 

 made of cobble stones 

 by Mr. E. S. Prior, where 

 four round cobble piers 

 are set four-square on a 

 circular platform raised 

 on two steps, which 

 forms the centre of wide, 

 flagged, radiating paths. 

 A good effect is gained, 

 and might be more 

 often obtained in build- 

 ing generally, by not filling up the putlog holes. A fruit-room at Chelwood 

 Vetchery, five sides of an octagon in plan, is happily treated by Mr. Rome
