O 3^^ "'"^^^1 i "•^■1i*i 70 re c U o ;^ w u H fe 71 THE GREAT DOORS OF A CATHEDRAL CHURCH \OKK MINSTER, SOUTH TRANSEPT 72 DOORS MKDL^iVAL doors were generally built up of two thicknesses of boarding, the inner layer horizontal and the outer vertical, nailed together with a profusion of great wrought iron nails with ornamental heads, whose points were driven right through and turned over on the inside. An alternative method, not so commonly employed, was to make an inner frame and cover it on th...e outside with vertical boards. These inner frames were often composed of styles, bottom rail, and shaped head-pieces, strengthened by a series of horizontal rails, as at Ewelme. Another excellent method was to arrange the inner frame as a series of vertical and horizontal battens, crossing one another, halved at their intersections, and dovetailed into the surrounding- members, as at Cumnor, Berks. Sometimes the svstem of battens was arranged diagonally, as at Bunbury {jy), or was composed of vertical and diagonal members crossing one another, as at Magdalen College, Oxford, giving a more rigid door.
