Courtyards and Cloisters

Gorse Fox has a thing about courtyards and cloisters.

Lancing College had a superb example of two connected quadrangles surrounded by cloisters.

Walking up the steps to the left of this first building, the courtyard opens up before you.


The cloister was semi-enclosed with rose-arched openings embellished with a filigree of curved stonework.


From the inside of the cloister, the arched opening are more obvious.
