What a spectacular expression of architectural exuberance! Layer upon layer of frivolity. The fan above the door anticipates the Egyptian fad by decades. The eye beginning at the bottom feels a horizontal urge but quickly traces upward through the fan to the glorious upper treatments. A true Windsor treasure. How fortunate you are that this still stands!
