A B C of Gothic Architecture

82 PERIOD OF TRAXSITIOIfo
Examples of Domestic buildingsof the houses of
the twelfth century, in the Norman style,are rare,
but we have still several remaining.
At Lincoln there
are two ; one, on the hill,called the Jew's House, the
other, in the lower town, was the house of St. Mary's
Guild; and at Boothby Pagnel, in Lincolnshire,is a
manor-house of this style; at Southampton are ruins
of two houses, one called the King's House, fi^rmerly
the custom-house, the other in a low part of the town,
attached to the remains of the town wall; at Minster,
in the Isle of Thanet, and at the Prioryof Christchurch,
in Hampshire, are houses which have belonged to monastic
establishments,-at "Warnford, in the same county,
are the foundations of a hall of this period ;
and in
!Farnham Castle, also in Hampshire, part of the great
Xorman hall remains, now converted into the servants'
hall. At Appleton and Sutton Courtney, in Berkshire,
are remains of manor-houses of this period ; at Canterbury
there are considerable remains of the monastic
buildings of this century, among
staircase with open
which is a line external
arcades on each side ; at
Foimtains Abbey, Yorkshire, there are extensive remains
of the domestic buildingsof pure JNTorman style:
at Bury St. Edmund's, Suffolk,the house called Moyses'
Hall, now used as the Bridewell, was probably the
house of a wealthy Jew in the twelfth century.
