An analysis of Gothic architecture Illustrated by a series of upwards of seven hundred examples of doorways, windows, mouldings, roofs, arches, crosses, panels, buttresses, seats, screens, etc., and accompanied with remarks on the several details of an ecclesiastical edifice . nted, as at Histon Church, Caml)ridge-y j shire. As the period advanced, clearstories became muchleickstkhshirk. more important members of the compositions into which theywere introduced; and the several windows being placed in close connection the onewith the other, they frequently exhibited a considerably larger surfiice of glass thanactual walling. Of this arrangement the Churches of Lavenham and Long Melford,in Suffolk, afford truly magnificent examples : in other Churches, however, of aboutthe same date, the clearstory destroys the whole beauty of the Building by itsmonotony and apparent insecurity. At Melton Mowbray the clearstory over the naveis pierced by twelve large three-light windows, which are also continued round thenorth and south transepts. * See Parish Cluirclics, V^>1.
