Benet, Cambridge, and on the jambstones of windows, as at Wansford, Northants. (ir) The treatment of the outer angles of the buildings is twofold. In the one case large squares of stone are massed one over the other, after an irregular fashion, as at St. Mildred, Canter- bury, and Stow, Lincolnshire, or at the seventh-century churches of Escomb and St. Peter-on- the-Walls(Fig.io5). In the other case the quoin-stones are arranged after the fashion so well known as " long-and-short"; the method i...s to alternate squared stone from 2 feet to 4 feet in height with flat slabs which project beyond the angles and grip into the walling. The examples of this last form of quoining are frequent, and are usually late in the style. (d) The pilaster- strip is another easily recognized and significant feature, and frequently to be noted, as at Wool- beding, Sussex (Fig. 106); Repton chancel; Braemore, Boarhunt, and Corhampton, Hants; Barton-on-Humber, Lincolnshire, as well as on the well-known towers of Earl's Barton and Sompting.
