1 6 ART AND WORK. There seems but little doubt that the capitals are of one date, for, though the north and south piers and arches, differ considerably, still, there is a certain amount of incon- gruity in all Transitional work ; in which the feelings of the architect often vacillated between the old style and the coming new one. It has been suggested, and not without good reason, that a foreign influence was at work in the designing of this building. The foliage, throughout the church, is of a... most thoughtful character, with here and there a touch, more or less, of nature, reminding us of sculptured ferns and water-plants, and possessing the endless variety of Romanesque, com- bined with the charming simplicity of Early English carving. CAPITALS— CHANCEL, ARCH— BROADWATER CHURCH, SUSSEX. Plate 22, is an interesting example of the varied infinity of Anglo-Norman archi- tectural detail. We have here in juxtaposition the convex and the concave element of capital ; the former represents birds, intermingled with fruit and foliage, carved out of the prevailing truncated- bowl boasting, whilst the two latter are composed entirely of plant forms, and rendered so as to be almost Byzantine in treatment.
