LOW SIDE WINDOWS. 317 there are two square openings below the sill of the win- dow : these are now glazed. At Bucknell, Oxfordshire, there are three, one on the north side of the chancel, lancet-shaped on the outside, with a square- headed opening within, and one on each side of the nave, near the east end, of a wide lancet form, with a round-headed recess over each on the inside : there were probably chantry altars at each of the two latter places, (see illustration at the head of this Article.) Of the fourteenth century, at Over, Cambridgeshire, are two, early in the Decorated style, and perhaps belonging to the end of the previous century. They are opposite to each other, on the north and south sides of the chancel, of the form called the Carnarvon window, or the square- headed trefoil, and are not later than Edward I. At Binstead, Isle of Wight, is one of precisely the same form, (engraved in Weale's Quarterly Papers.) At Offchm'ch, Warwickshire, is one of a similar form on the south side of the chancel, which is Early English, and it is not clear whether the low side window is original or an insertion. At Lillington and Dunchurch, Warwickshire, they are small square-headed openings, quite plain, about two feet high and one wide. iVt Barton, Warwickshire, a Decorated low side window is inserted in the north wall of an Early English chancel. At Cubington, Warwickshire, the chancel of which is Decorated, the low side window on the south side is of the same style,- a single light, with a cinquefoil head, about 3 ft. 6 in. high by 1 ft. 6 in. wide. On the north side is another of late poor Perpendicular work, evidently an insertion. At Long Compton, Warwickshire, on the south side of the chancel, is a recess in the wall with a trefoil head, and in the VOL. IV. ft South side chauoel. Over, Camb.
