ST 78 SE HORTON
8/69 Ambulatory, 20 yards south west
17.9.52 of Horton Court
G.V.
I
Ambulatory or garden loggia. Circa 1527-29, for William Knight, Prothonotary to
the Holy See, and later Bishop of Bath and Wells. Rubble and freestone;
Cotswold stone slate roof. Perpendicular Gothic but in the form of a Renaissance
garden loggia. 6 bay arcade facing east; octagonal piers with moulded caps and
pedestals, chamfered 4-centred arches. Buttresses with set-offs at north and
south ends. Inside on the west wall are 4 coarse stucco medallions in a
classical style, including Nero and Hannibal. Knight went to Rome in 1527 to
act for Henry VIII in his divorce case and it is thought that he observed such
structures in Italy. (C. Hussey, Cour.try Life, 30.I.32).
