rctciborongh C:i;' The plain mouldings in the Dcvr.if'J style arc more diversified than in the Early English, though in large suites rounds and hollows continue for the most part to prevail ; the hollows are often very deeply cut, but in many instances, especially towards the end of the style, they become shallower and broader ; ovolos are not very uncommon, and ogees are frequent ; splays also are often used, either by themselves or with other mouldings;

fillets placed upon larger members are abundant, espe- cially in the early part of the style, and a round mould- ing, called the Scroll-moiil'liii;/, with a sharp projecting edge on it, arising from one half being formed from a smaller curve than the other, is frequently used, and is characteristic of Decorated work ; when used horizon- tally the larger curve is placed Iz^''' uppermost : there is also another
moulding, convex in the middle and concave at each extremity, wliicb, though sometimes found in the I'erpendicidar style, may be considered as generally character- istic of the Decorated. Fillets arc very frequently used to separate
other members, but the rounds and hollows often run together, as in the Early English style. The enrich- ments consist of leaves and flowers, either set separately or in running patterns, figures, heads, and animals, all of which are generally carxel \. itb lt. ater truth than at any other periud; Ijuiilv hieh belongs

especially to this style, and a variety of the /uur-leaved flower, are the commonest.
In tiie Ptrpmdicular style the mouldings arc gener- ally flatter and less effective than at an earlier period. One of the most striking charac- teristics is the prevalence of very large and often shallow hollows; these sometimes occupied so large a space as to leave but little room for any other mouldings: the hol- lows and round members not un- frequently unite without any line of separation, but the other members are parted either by (Hiirks or lillets. The most prevalent moulding is the ogee, but rounds, which are

There is also an undulating moulding, which is common in the abacus and dripstones, peculiar to the Perpendicular style, es- pecially the latter part of it; and another indicative of the same date, which is concave in the middle and round at each extremity, is occasion- ally used in door-jambs, etc. In Per- y^^
pendicular work small fillets are not '
placed upon larger members, as in Dec- ^^ orated and Early English ; splays also are much less frequent. The ornaments used in the mouldings are running pat- terns of foliage and flowers; detached leaves, flowers, and bunches of foliage ; f j--'
heads, animals, and figures, usually gro- ^^
tesque; shields, and various heraldic and fancifid de- vices; the large hollow moiddings, when used in arches or the jambs of doors and window.*, sometimes contain statues with canopies over them. — Parker, Glossary of A rc/iitecfure, p. 150 sq.
