LOW SIDE WINDOWS. 315 and the two following centuries are numerous in most parts of the country. Probably the earliest example remaining is that at Caistor, Northamptonshire, published in this Jonrnal% from a drawing by Mr. Ilartshorne, which appears to belong to the Anglo-Saxon period, as shewn by the long and short work in the jambs, though the up})er part of the window^ has been re- built in the fourteenth cen- tury. Of the twelfth century few examples have been noticed : there is one which a])pears to belong to that ])eriod on the south side of the chancel at St. Margaret's at Cliff, Kent ; but this is rather a doubtful example. Another, at North Hinksey, Berkshire, there seems no reason to doubt ; the round head and the Norman mouldings are decisive. It is situated on the south side of the chancel, imme- diately to the east of the chancel-arch, which was of early Norman character, until it was recently altered. The south doorway is also Norman, and the lower part of the walls belong to the same age, though all the windows are subsecpient in- sertions. Another, also on the south side of the chan- cel of St. Giles's, North- ampton, may still be traced on the exterior, and is dis- tinct in the interior. ' Vol. i ^^/ Ncrth HiBksev, Berkahixe.
