A HISTORY OF SURREY 



insertions of the eighteenth century. The repair of some old cottages 

 at Wonersh, that had evidently been weavers' cottages, showed that 

 all the windows on the upper floors had superseded these open bars, the 

 sockets of which were disclosed in the sills. Such a barred window 

 and shutter remains at the end of the bedroom of No. 2 cottage at 

 Darbyn's Brook,* and plenty of them remain in outhouses. 



In the middle of the seventeenth century arose a fashion of 

 square faced muUions to casements ; at the back of 25 High Street, 



Guildford, are some 

 of these that show that 

 the effect was a care- 

 fully thought out part 

 of the design (Fig. 17). 

 Door frames were 

 generally Tudor- 

 arched up to the end 

 of the sixteenth cen- 

 tury, and are to be 

 found at such houses 

 as Crowhurst, Leigh 

 Place, Alfold House, 

 Tangley, Unsted, 

 Shoelands, Crossways 

 and many others. The 

 earlier specimens have 

 tracery or shields in 

 the spandrels. The 

 square doors have 

 heavily moulded 

 frames with modifi- 

 cations of the usual 

 late Gothic stop ; a 

 form of this, more 

 ornate than usual, is 

 shown on the illustra- 

 tion from the White 

 Hart (Fig. 18). 

 There are few remains of the heavy early doors, but there are 

 excellent examples of the ornamental doors of the early seventeenth 

 century. Of those with a radiating head. Abbot's Hospital possesses 

 a probably unequalled series ; the form is found all over England, but 

 this neighbourhood is rich in them. Various other fanciful patterns 

 are found, made before classic design introduced a dull uniformity. 



In the early seventeenth century the arches and old Gothic 

 mouldings to frames were given up, and we get both door and 

 window frames rusticated and carved in a very graceful way. Portions
