Windows 11 - 12

window11

This pair of similar windows has the basic design of intersecting tracery of four lights but extra interest is achieved by adding cusps to the tracery bars by. The result is a 'saw-blade' effect.

The careful grading and positioning of these cusps produces sexfoils at the tops of the lights whilst in the tracery the plain lozenge-shaped openings are transformed into octofoils and quatrefoils, as may be best appreciated by viewing Window No.11 from the inside.
