ECCLESIASTICAL ARCHITECTURE 



type common in Kent. The blind tracery at the back of the reredos is slightly earlier, c, 



1340. 

 Sutton. — Windows in chancel, now destroyed, c, 1340. 

 Thorpe. — Chancel windows. 

 Warlincham. — East window, c. 1 340. 

 Wimbledon. — Windows in chancel, c. 1330. 

 WiTLEY. — East windows of chancel and north chapel. 

 WoKiNC. — Windows in chancel and south aisle; upper part of tower, c. 1340. 



There are several curious square-headed windows in this period, e.g. those at St. 

 Mary's Guildford, Chiddingfold, Ockham and Cobham. That at Guildford is peculiarly 

 graceful in design. The three lights have ogee cinquefoiled heads, and over these are 

 somewhat narrow vesicas, quatrefoiled, the whole richly moulded. The other windows 

 are somewhat later, and, although of generally similar design, are not so refined in detail as 

 this. 



The east window of Oxted church is one of the finest in the county, and the flowing 

 design of the tracery is singularly beautiful. ' 



FROM c. 1350 TO c. 1400. 

 The succeeding half-century (i 350-1400) saw the change from flowing to straight lines 

 in the tracery. Most Surrey churches show windows, doors and other features of this and 

 the succeeding periods. A few instances 



may suffice. 



Betchworth. — ^A good typical example of 

 two lights in north wall of north aisle 

 of nave, with pointed segmental head, 

 c. 1390. 



Beddington. — The entire church with the 

 exception of the south chapel : in build- 

 ing, 1390. 



BooKHAM, Great. — Enlarged south aisle 

 and porch, with doorway and good 

 three-light windows of the same date 

 and character as that at Betchworth 

 and the windows at Effingham (below), 

 c. 1390. 



Croydon. — ^A noble building, the design of 

 which dates from c. 1390. Destroyed 

 by fire in 1867, and rebuilt mainly 

 on the old lines.' 



Effingham. — ^East window and two-light 

 eastern windows, north and south walls 

 of chancel, 1388.^ 



Earn HAM. — The nave arcades and parts of 

 the transepts, and east end of chancel, 

 including the fine range of sedilia and 

 piscina. 



Guildford, St. Mary. — ^Windows in north 

 apsidal chapel, c. 1350. 



HoRSELL — Tower and window in nave. 



Kingston, Free Chapel. — Rebuilt in or 

 about 1350. A most complete and 

 valuable dated example, particularly in 

 regard to the window tracery. 



> The tracery mouldings were barbarously 

 pared back a century or so ago on the outside, 

 but fortunately the inside has been left alone. 



2 Besides the south porch and a few niches, 

 tombs, etc., of mediaeval date preserved in situ, 

 there are many loose fragments of this period in 

 the north aisle. 



* A valuable instance of a date fixed by 

 documentary evidence. Sutt. Arch. Coll., ix. 

 374. et seq.
