About this book
English Gothic foliage sculpture, by Samuel Gardner, is a treatise whose preface hopes to help visitors to ancient churches who care for architectural details follow the development of architectural foliage. The preface says that the effort to remain clear and concise required the rejection of scores of illustrations that might have added to the book's attractiveness.
The discussion compares carvings at Stone with spandrils at Westminster considered probable predecessors of those at Stone. The account notices split leaves in the nave of Lincoln and describes that feature as indicating a weakening of the tradition. The treatment of Wells notes that the trefoil form remains discoverable despite much greater freedom from convention.
