A Perpendicular porch set against the aisles of a building, of which part of two windows are seen. This porch has buttresses of three stages, set square, and leaving a corner, on which is placed a battlemented pinnacle. The buttresses have moulded set-offs. The door-way has an arch within a square, the spandrels pannelled and flowered, and the dripstone running as a tablet, but not round the buttresses. The inner door- way plain-arched, and a plain dripstone. Over the door are two heights of pannelling up to the gable, in seven lights, with a battlemented transom, and a line of square quatrefoils. The parapet pannels consist of round quatrefoils, in squares ; the capping crocketed, and running up to flank a cross, of which the pedestal appears springing from the cornice. The cornice is plain. The base mouldings consist of three tablets. a, Section of the architrave mouldings of a door in the ruins of Birkenhead priory, in Cheshire, a singularly varied and very beautiful specimen of Decorated mouldings. b, One variety of the Tudor flower. c, Part of the pier mouldings of St. Michael's, at

Coventry ;— a specimen of Perpendicular mouldings.
