MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY,

THE QUEEN.

Sanctioned by your Majestys royal command, I, a

sexagenarian, dedicate this volume, on Architectural
Antiquities, to the most youthful female Sovereign that
ever occupied the throne of Great Britain. The cir-

cumstance, the time, the august epoch of your Ma-

jestys coronation, involve many impressive and conflict-
ing reflections ;
for the past and the present condition

up to a great height in other instances, they are placed

;

upon round, square, or polygonal buildings, called towers.

They are also occasionally employed to decorate the angles
of a building. In the latter case, they correspond with, and
are more properly termed, pinnacles. The accompanying
Plate of Towers and Spires, and the annexed Wood-
cut, contain several examples of spires. In this place we
shall merely name the buildings on which the originals of
the annexed eight specimens are to be found ;
referring the
reader for observations on their peculiar characteristics, and
on and turrets, in general, to the
spires, steeples, towers,
articles Steeple, Tower, and Turret. The series here
delineated shew the origin and progressive changes in the
form of the spire from a stunted, pyramidal pinnacle (as
fig. 1), to the lofty and slender spire, or broach.

Fig. I, summit to one of the turrets at the east end of

St. Peter s Churchy Oxford. Fig. 2, from the south angle
of the west front of Rochester Cathedral. Fig. 3, one of two
spires, or pinnacles, at the angles of the west front of
Bishop" s-Cleeve Church, Gloucestershire. Fig. 4, the pyra-
midal roof of the tower of Than Church, near Caen, Nor-
mandy. The width of shewn in the
the side of the tower
engraving is 14 feet. Fig. 5, the central spire of Almonds-
hury Church, Gloucestershire, with the tower on which it is
placed. Fig. 6, the central spire, and part of the tower of
Salisbury Cathedral. Fig. 7, central spire, and part of the
tower of St. Marys Church, Cheltenham. Fig. 8, spire.
