Gothic architecture in France, England, and Italy . reatment of the foliage : but wefind something like it at Wells where the square abacusOakham is retained, and in the Castle Hall at Oakham (Fig. 79),a building which is exactly coeval with English Williamswork at Canterbury, and may perhaps have had the useof some of his workmen (Plate LXIV).
