III.— The Roof-bosses in St. George's Chapel, Windsor
St. George's Chapel as it now stands was begun in the reign of Edward IV and finished in that of Henry VIII. It took the place of an earlier chapel. St. John Hope considered that the first part of the chapel to be vaulted was the north aisle of the choir ‘because one of the keys or bosses bears the arms of Thomas Fitzalan as Lord Maltravers, which dignity he held from 1461 until he succeeded to the earldom of Arundel in 1487, while another has th…
The Orientation of Churches
Papers have been written on the orientation of churches, but most of them deal with the origin of orientation. In only two that I have come across are there any data of actual orientations, namely, ‘The Orientation of Scottish Churches’ by F. C. Eeles, and ‘Orientation of Churches in Hampshire’ by T. W. Shore. I have measured the orientation of 642 churches. I had originally planned to measure many more, but the war and its aftermath have prevent…

IV.— The Roof Bosses in the Cathedral and in the Church of St. John the Baptist at Peterborough, and in the Cathedral at Ripon
The majority of the roof bosses in Peterborough Cathedral are on the wooden roof of the quire, but there are a few others which have points of considerable interest
IX.— The Painted Ceiling in the Nave of Peterborough Cathedral
The roof of the nave of Peterborough Cathedral (pl. xc) was erected in the latter years of the twelfth century and the ceiling was probably painted about 1220. It has frequently been stated that the ceiling was raised when the tower arch was changed from round to pointed, but there is no documentary evidence for this. If the original ceiling had been flat it would have had to have been widened by about 1 ft. 6 in. at each side to bring it to its …
II.— The Roof Bosses of Lincoln Cathedral
The roof bosses of Lincoln Cathedral are of particular interest, for they show the evolution of this form of ornament from the stiff conventional foliage of the end of the twelfth century in St. Hugh's Quire, through the freer foliage of the first half of the thirteenth century in the nave, to the climax of the art in the second half of the thirteenth century in the Angel Quire. These later bosses are unsurpassed anywhere, whether in the trefoil …
III.— The Roof-bosses in Canterbury Cathedral
The heraldry of the bosses in the cloisters at Canterbury has been very fully dealt with by our Fellow Mr. Ralph Griffin in Archaeologia , lxvi, 447 ff.; under his direction photographs were taken of every severy and of a great number of the separate bosses, both the heraldic and the non-heraldic. About 120 out of some 800 were reproduced in Archaeologia and a complete set of the prints is in our library. The heraldic bosses in the Chichele porch…
IV.— A Thirteenth-Century Choir of Angels in the North Transept of Westminster Abbey and the Adjacent Figures of Two Kings
On the soffits of the lancet windows in the north transept of Westminster Abbey there are medallions, four in each window, enclosing demi-figures of angels which bear musical instruments and other objects. The date is about 1250. It is impossible to see these carvings in the ordinary way as the soffits receive no light from the windows and they are about 58 ft. above the floor level. After dark when the Abbey is lit up it is just possible to see …
III.— The Roof Bosses in the Transepts of Norwich Cathedral Church
No account of the hundred and fifty roof bosses in the transepts has yet been put on record in print, though they present some peculiar features. The stone vaulting in the transepts was erected under Bishop Nykke after a fire in 1509. The vaulting of the cloisters and of the nave, with their series of sculptured bosses, had already been completed, and as the Provost of Eton says, the bishop ‘was rather put to it to find a satisfactory scheme for …
V.— Roof Bosses in the Nave of Tewkesbury Abbey
The roof of the nave of Tewkesbury Abbey belongs to the first half of the fourteenth century; the bosses are carved in stone. Those down the central rib represent scenes from the life of Christ; those on the sides are angels, some with censers, some with musical instruments, and some, at the east end, with instrumentsof the Passion; there are also the four evangelistic symbols. For purposes of reference I have numbered the central line of bosses …
VII.— The Bosses on the Vault of the Quire of Winchester Cathedral
The internal vaulted roof of the presbytery of Winchester Cathedral is ornamented with a series of ninety-seven carved wooden bosses (pl. xxvi). They are not only interesting in themselves, but they are thought to throw some light on the date of the roof itself. In any case they are worthy of careful study
