MEDIEVAL ENGLAND
county parish churches are notable for their elaborate lantern/
like clerestories and the splendour and ingenuity of their open
timber roofs, ofwhich two ofthe most striking examples ofthe
hammer'beam type have already been mentioned. In the later
fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries the colourful pageantry
taste we have already referred to produced in East Anglia a
vogue for the use of brickwork and for elaborate patterned
surfaces in specially cut flints inlaid with patterns in freestone.
Inevitably, owing to their generally more modest scale, the
parish church buildings do not give so clear examples of the
changing taste as we have traced in the greater church build/
ings, but it can be claimed with some confidence that, broadly
speaking, the story as we have traced it in the great buildings
can be seen reflected and with increasing clarity in the parish
churches,
