58 CONSERVATION AREA STATEMENT - Conservation Area No7: FRAMPTON ON SEVERN Detailing in buildings and structures of all statuses is very subtle but extremely important. Simple ornamentation such as dentil courses under the eaves are very common, usually just comprising projecting brick headers, although dogs tooth courses are also seen, where the bricks are laid to jut out at a zig-zag angle. Windows, and often doors, of the simpler houses have segmental arched heads picked out in one or two curving courses of bricks. These may be of a different colour or type of brick for contrast. In these buildings, painted wooden framed casements with narrow glazing bars are typical. The whole window frame, with integral sill, was simply slotted in with very little recess within the brick reveals. Sash windows, reflecting a move away from the pure vernacular building style to the more symmetrical, classically detailed ‘polite’ style, are to be found in buildings of the same date as those with casements. Rather than arched heads, they tend to be square headed with stepped vousoirs, essentially a flat arch, with a prominent key stone. There are examples where the vousoirs have been painted in alternating colours, usually back and white. If windows are the eyes of a building, these are definitely the eyelashes! In houses featuring sash windows, six or, later, four- panelled front doors are the norm, another move away from the local vernacular which typically had simple plank doors. Stroud District Council
CONSERVATION AREA STATEMENT - Conservation Area No7: FRAMPTON ON SEVERN Although square and rectangular windows are found, one of Frampton’s peculiarities is the use of round windows in gable ends. These port hole- like apertures may reflect the village’s long- time maritime links. Stroud District Council 59
