sparingly used, and when they occur, are symmetrically placed, whether in pairs or as a single western tower, as at St. Bride, where it is crowned by a spire. The dome is a predominant feature externally.

On Floor Plans
constructed of large blocks
(which give dignity, often accentuated by rusticating the blocks in the lower part of walls) in ashlar masonry, i.e., accurately laid in horizontal courses
On Walls
the blocks of stones that are
used are either undressed
or comparatively roughly
dressed. The masonry has
wide joints since stones of
irregular size are used.
rubble masonry
square or rectangular blocks that
are used are dressed and have an extremely fine bed and end joints.
ashlar masonry
range of masonry techniques giving visible surfaces a finish that contrasts in texture with the smoothly finished, squared- block masonry surfaces called ashlar.
Rustication
Vaulting is characterized by semicircular vaults without ribs and depends for effect on colored frescoes; the dome whether of the flat saucer type or raised on a drum is also frescoed.
On Roofs
Projecting horizontal cornices casting deep shadows with
balconies and molded string bands all combine to produce an effect of horizontality. Above the crowning cornices there were often balustrade, the baluster being an important Renaissance invention, much exploited
decoratively.
