. English ironwork of the XVIIth & XVIIIth centuries; an historical & analytical account of the development of exterior smithcraft. GATES AT EATON HALL, Tijou, perhaps beonght fyom Hampton Court, The Work of Jean Tijou, 1690-1710 53. 54 English Ironwork of the XVIIth and XVIIIth Centuries foils and two small panels, with the highly characteristic rectangularframes joined diagonally. The pair from Bridewell, now in theoffices in Bridge Street, Blackfriars, are very similar, but lighter. Thebottom panels repeat the Oxford design, a rare instance in Tijouswork, but the upper panels are much higher, and consequently ofmore complex design, centring in an ovalshield of arms. Thesewere presented to the new chapel at Bridewell by Sir WilliamWithers in 1713, and may be by a later hand. The Clarendongates are shown in Williams Oxford, circa 1723, but must havebeen erected before Vanburgh completed his work there in other work, part of which may reasonably be attributed toTijou, that at Drayton House stands foremost. The whole of it hasrecently been illustrated by Mr. Baily Murphy in English andScottish Iron-work. Much but not all of it was made to the order ofthe Duchess of Norfolk, who had married Sir John Germain
