Ornamental Wrought Iron Work 
GATEWAY TO THE ARCHBISHOP’S PALACE—SENS 
twelve panels placed at intervals in a park 
fence at Hampton Court, were actually 
executed by an English iron-worker, Hunt¬ 
ingdon Shaw, whose real share in the work 
Titjou was never inclined to acknowledge. 
Titjou’s work is not highly thought of at 
the present day. It is heavy, crowded and 
lacks graceful proportion, except in some 
cases where Wren himself corrected and 
simplified the scheme before its actual accom¬ 
plishment. These examples were in the 
already antiquated style of Louis XIV., in 
contrast to Fordrin’s rococo work of the 
contemporary period in France.
