Note 61 — PLATES XXIV.—XXXIII. ABBEY OF THE HOLY TRINITY, AT CAEN.
Reading edition
See Turner's Tour in Normandy, II. p. 252, under the head of Bayeux Cathedral, the windows of which are remarkable for the complicated patterns of the lead-work.—See also Carter's Ancient Architecture, I. plate 79, p. 54, where this laborious author states himself to have collected nearly all the remains of this description of art in England. He is inclined to refer it to the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.—In the second volume of the same work, plate 27, fig. F. 2, is represented one of the borders of the west window of the nave in York Cathedral, which almost exactly resembles one of these at Caen.
