WINDOWS 12 to  16

 

The left head is weathered but the features resemble Victorian as on windows 7 and 8. The head is of a woman wearing a wimple.

 



Window 12, with window 6, has the heads with the most distinct necks of all the Harby stop heads. Intricate detail is to be seen on side view.

The right head is weathered and the features are not Victorian. Around the neck is an Elizabethan ruff giving a date of around 1600.

The left head like the right shows the crisp edges and symmetrical design of Victorian restoration. It has a type of hat or cap.
 

Window 16 is all Victorian. Its position facing east has protected it from the effects of weathering which is most pronounced on west orientated stonework facing the prevailing wind and the rain being blown by this. The heads show the characteristics of eyebrow ridges running smoothly into the nose, no swelling brow ridge, eyes depicted by an oval half egg shape surrounded by an oval, no nostrils to the nose. On these two heads there is little detail on the sides of the face and the head runs into the block of stone that fitted into the wall.

The Victorian heads tend to lack detail when viewed from the side.
 

The right head has the symmetry and crispness of Victorian restoration and differs from the left by having no covering to the head

 


The windows in the clerestory and upper tower have hoodmoulds without any decoration. They are Victorian replacements.
