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 . tects of either the Early English or the Decorated eras :thus, at Steyning Church, Sussex, we observe Anglo-Norman clearstory windows placedsingly; while they form arcades at St Margaret at Cliffe, Kent, and St Peters,Northampton.
