North-west elevation of the #ChristchurchNormanHouse. Externally this 2-light Romanesque window is far more ornately carved than those north-east being gable end, but internally it has the unsettling look of an imposter #WindowsOnWednesday #NickedNook #NormanHouseWindows (5/5)
North-east elevation of the #ChristchurchNormanHouse (exterior, left). An incredible survivor and an archetype of Romanesque window design. The windows to the south west have been robbed out, if indeed they ever mirrored this design #WindowsOnWednesday #NickedNook #NormanHouseWindows (4/5)
Chamfered square slit window with monolithic jamb and seemingly well worn cill (exterior, left) set in a segmental rere (right). These probably postdate the original C12 building which seems to be supported by the way they're set #ChristchurchNormanHouse #WindowsOnWednesday #NormanHouseWindows (3/5)
North-east elevation (interior), the #ChristchurchNormanHouse showing one of a pair of Norman windows situated above slit windows. Holes for joists show relative locations of upper and lower floors #WindowsOnWednesday #NormanHouseWindows (2/5)
North-east elevation of the #ChristchurchNormanHouse against the mill stream. Showing Norman windows to second floor and slit windows to lower. The upper windows are roughly mirrored on the south-west elevation facing the bailey #WindowsOnWednesday #NormanHouseWindows (1/5)
