 ENGLISH RENAISSANCE. 565 Prismatic rustication, or the projection of blocks of stone of prismatic form (No. 250 g), occurs in pilasters and pedestals, and in later times colored stones were inserted in their stead Plaster (Nos. 242, 243 and 250 m) was used for ceilings with great skill in design and adaptability to the material, and broad friezes were sometimes modelled with much quaintness and grotesque feeling, as at Hardwick. Tapestries continued to be used for walls, color decoration making little or no progress. The screens, mantelpieces, entrance porches, monuments and tombs (No. 250 f), such as the monuments to Elizabeth (a.d. 1604) and Mary Queen of Scots in Westminster Abbey, and the tomb of Lord Burghley (No. 251 e), are very numerous and charac- teristic, a large number being found in churches throughout the country, and many being richly colored. The chapel screen from the Charterhouse, London (No. 251 c) ; the doorway in Broughton Castle (No. 251 a) ; the bookcase from Pembroke College, Cambridge (No. 251 d) ; the throne and stalls from the Convocation Room, Oxford (No. 251 f) ; the pulpit from North Cray Church, Kent (No. 251 g) ; the cistern now in the Victoria and Albert Museum (No. 251 h), and the tablet from Peterhouse College Chapel, Cambridge (No. 251 j), will indicate to the reader the manner in which Renaissance features were applied to the arts and crafts connected with architecture. 5.
