. The English house, how to judge its periods and styles. s prin-ciple as a guide, and brought into vogue aseverity of treatment that prevented loosenessand contortion. It declined to look uponpiercings as the main features in tracery ; herebars of wood and stone became predominant, and were made straight in obedience to com-mon sense. As an example I give a beautifulillustration showing a timber house that used tobe at Dunster, in Somersetshire, and representingour Tudor style during the reign of Henry VII.There are two rows of windows, and betweenthem an arcaded panelling. The windows arevery interesting, because they show one specialuse of strong, plain muUions. If these mullionswere less prominent the window openings wouldseem too large ; ft is they that unite a largesurface of glass to the surrounding wall (p. 146).To appreciate this we must remember that inearlier times glass was not often used by house-holders, so windows were small ; but whenglass became as common among the well-to-doas oiled linen was in the poor mans house a ^sr^srz. w^^w^ GOTHIC AND TUDOR HOMES 147 fashion for large windows sprang up, and itthreatened the structural look of hojuses. Manya wall would have been a thing of glass ifmuUions and transoms had not been used withjudgment. Here are two other illustrations to make thispoint quite clear. One dates from Henry VIII.stime, and represents the ruins of Cowdray House, Sussex, a country seat that retained as a decora-tion the battlemented parapet necessary in earlycastles and fortified houses. The chapel windowshave upright tracery. Each has two mullionsand two transoms, and the spaces formed bytheir intersection are arched and feathered. This, you will note, ornaments the bars of stone ; itdoes not twist them into curves. Remark, too, how the oriels are treated. They rise fromground to roof, and in one no fewer than sixtyarched lights are grouped into six stages, makinga trellised masonry that binds the window to itsframework of wall (Plate 31
