Dear everyone,
Just putting in my twopenn'orth to say that there are many squints
surviving, such as at Bridgewater, Somerset; St Nicholas', Gloucester;
Lewes, Sussex; Newnham Murren, Oxon; Quatt, Shropshire; Scawton and West
Tanfield, Yorkshire; St Oswald's Durham; and even at the Warkworth
Hermitage, Northumberland. Also, a *squinch* is different: it is an
architectural term denoting a straight or arched structure across the
interior angle of a square tower, as support for the base of an octagon.
Hope this helps.
Brian
