## Commentary

The west tower at Earls Barton is a typical example of 10th-century British architecture. The only structural part of the decoration is the emphasizing of the three storeys by plain string courses. All the rest, the wooden-looking strips arranged in rows vertically like beanstalks, or higher up in crude lozenge patterns, are structurally senseless. The photo shows the 10th-century Saxon west tower and 14th-century south porch of the parish church in Earls Barton.
