From Pugin's Specimens of Gothic architecture;
selected from various antient edifices in England (Volume II) (1823) "The form of vaulting, here displayed, has
been frequently termed the fan-groin, from the manner in which its
tracery seems to expand ... The stones of which this vault is formed are marked
at the joints; the sweep of the diagonal rib is drawn in dotted lines upon the
plan; with several other particulars necessary to the full development of the
construction. (pages [4]-5) |
