At Strixton, Northamptonshire, is a triple lancet-window at the east end, with a quatrefoil opening, and 136 PROGRESS OF TRACERY, also three sunk quatrefoil panels in the gable (118.)These sunk panels are not uncommon in Early Eng-lish work, and it is only necessary to draw them alittle more closely together to enclose them under onearch, and pierce them to form good tracery. This isdone in the next class, as at Raunds, Northampton-shire (100), and Ac-ton Burnell, Shrop-shire : here we havewindows of threelights, of four lights,and of six lights,with plain circlesin the head, richlymoulded. Manywindows of this classoriginally had cusps,which have been cutout, and this is saidto have been thecase at Raunds
