| The
earliest form of stone mullioned window in the north of England
dates from the 16th century and features double splays both outside
and in and arched lintels with a cavetto moulding. See below for
a very early farmhouse at Barley, Lancashire. Although modern technology
has a role in the manufacture of our products, much of the shaping
is still done by a stonemason using a hammer and chisel. |
