The roof bosses of Lincoln Cathedral are of particular interest, for they show the evolution of this form of ornament from the stiff conventional foliage of the end of the twelfth century in St. Hugh's Quire, through the freer foliage of the first half of the thirteenth century in the nave, to the climax of the art in the second half of the thirteenth century in the Angel Quire. These later bosses are unsurpassed anywhere, whether in the trefoil and natural foliage, or in the figure bosses, all too few, in the aisles.
page 26 note 1 The boss in the centre of the sixth bay and the one to the north are modern. The remains of the original centre boss may be seen in the cloisters.
page 28 note 1 A wooden boss very like this one is to be found in Chartham Church, Kent.
page 28 note 2 Dr. G. R. Owst, in a letter to The Times of 19th Dec. 1935, suggests that this is ‘a satire on the evil lady of rank who fondles her lap-dogs (as again on the Sedilia at Hechington) and neglects the poor.’
page 30 note 1 Dr. Owst, loc. cit, suggests that this ‘represents in typical satiric fashion the Vice of Luxuria, and the “frowning face” is that of the Evil One, who draws the two lovers together’.
