At Winnal Magdalen Cliurch. near AVinchester (Appendix,Plate 2), th(! lancets display caily and rude specimens of foliation orcusping, in its primitive condition. To this style of cusping the dis-tinctive title of soHit-cusping has ])een applied, from t]j(> circumsUmce of the cuspsspringing from the soffit of the arch, and not, as subsecpiently was the invariablepractice, from tin; chamfer or slope of the arch-side. This sofht-cusping may be Tlie tooth-onmmcut also appears on the exterior in some laneet-windows, as in tlie triplet in TinwellChurch, Rutlandshire (see Section I. Early Kn^rlish, Plate 20) ; and in Warminixton Chunh, Northants. t Professor Willis derives the idea of n folialrd arch from a compound archway, of which the first orderis a simple, and the second a foiled WINDOWS. 21 ^^ rt3gar(lo(l ; ;i siwv. indicjiLion of early work ; an«l in most instances it is diaracteristicof a transition fVom l^ai-ly to Decorated Gothic. In early ciispcd circles, a similar peculiarity isobservable in the : here the foils are produced from theinner curve, without rising at all into the chamfer, and thus nc»eyes whatever are formed; or the foils themselves are cliamfered, but the eyes are im-perfect ; their cliamfer being restricted to their outer curves (B). Another marked pecu-liarity in early foils is that, in place of being segments of intersectingcurves, they are formed from a series of distinct circles, which all cuta larger circle inscribed within them.
