A porch dating from 
the latter half of the 
nth Century, is found 
on a house in Glouces¬ 
tershire. It is typically 
Cotswold in design —■ 
spindles and door 
wrought in native lime¬ 
stone and a box sun¬ 
dial above, a type com¬ 
mon in the Cotswolds 
; 
Though built in the first part of the 17 th 
Century, the door to this Cotswold 
house retains the Perpendicular Gothic 
spirit in the dripstone, the flat arch and 
the spandrels with laurel and rosette 
Although evidently executed by an untu¬ 
tored local craftsman, this doorway to a 
nth Century house reflects the Renaissance 
influence, of which Inigo Jones was the 
great English exponent. These doors should 
interest prospective builders here
