I am here to say I still can't figure out this stupid arrangement. The only logic I've ever seen is the three quatrefoils seem to sit on lines drawn from the springing points. That's it. I'm not even convinced the lower two quatrefoils are the symmetrical or the same size as the top one.

While you were passed out drunk we drew with permanent markers upon your face numerous immodest quatrefoils & arabesques.

#AdoorableThursday A crisp cusped ogee arch attended upon by quatrefoils rarely disappoints. Especially when viewed in duplicate.

The 13thC tower at St Peter's, Raunds is a fabulous concoction of a bit of everything.
Adding more quatrefoils than you realistically need can never be wrong!

Panel of four quatrefoils with opposing pointed lobes arranged around a cross #StMaryHutton #Somerset #FontsOnFriday
Zoom in to see the tooling around the quatrefoils. Does that help with the dating at all?

The late 14th century font at Hull Minster. The font has 16 sides, most of which contain quatrefoils - an ancient symbol of good luck. The font was used for William Wilberforce’s baptism in 1759. #FontsOnFriday #Medieval #HullMinster

The shrine of St Decumanus was destroyed during the Reformation, and now all that remains is a medieval stone plinth in the north transept, decorated with a neat row of small quatrefoils.

The rood screen dates to the late 15th or early 16th century and its traceries are composed of delicate quatrefoils and roses.

St Andrew's, Cotterstock has a very fine perpendicular font, they certainly liked their quatrefoils! The detail of the trailing vine around the base is a lovely touch too.

So staring at them all afternoon, and using the stained glass view they have that gives an orthographic view.. yeah those quatrefoils aren't normal at all. I don't think they're constructed in the usual way you'd do that shape. THIS is why all the normal methods don't work here. New approach time

Communion rails continued to be a feature in 19th century churches. At St Dogmael’s, Meline the communion rails are simple and purely ornamental with Gothic cusping and quatrefoils.
