What reading level is Picturesque English Cottages And Their Doorway Gardens book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Even poorer houses have these, and they are elaborately carved or moulded. Coventry possesses many. Kent has also some good examples, and, in fact, all counties where timber was once plentiful. And they add a charming effect to the houses. The style of the carving in- dicates their age. Thus the earliest forms reveal bargeboards with the edges cut into cusps. In the sixteenth century the boards are pierced with tracery, in the form of tre- foils or quatrefoils ; and in the Jacobean period the e...nds of the gables at the eaves have pendants, a finial adorns the ridge, and the perforated designs are more fantastic and correspond to the details of the well-known Jacobean carving. In old houses the barge- boards project about a foot from the surface of the wall. In the eighteenth century, when weather-tiling was introduced, the distances between the wall and the bargeboards was diminished, and ultimately they were placed flush with it ; elaborately carved boards were discarded, and the ends of the gable moulded.
