The instances are rare in which we find a Church still retaining the originalarrangement of its lancet-windows; but in such cases we may generally remark,that in the gables and in the north and south walls of the Chancel they are ofmore slender proportions than in the other parts of the Edifice. The reason for this is obvious : were the narrow proportions of the Chancel lancetpreserved in those placed in the less elevated walls of the aisles, the light thus obtainedwould be altogether insufficient; and hence appears to arise the general rule, that thewidth of Early English lancets varies inversely in proportion to their height.* EarlyEnghsh lancet-windows occur either singly, or in groups of two, three, five, and seven;but combinations of four and six lancets are rarely to be found.
