"The construction of one principal is shown in this Plate; half in section, half in elevation ... The principals of this roof follow the distribution of parts adopted in the earlier structures of Eltham and Westminster Halls; each consisting of an arch, supported by two half-arches.  The curved ceilings in the upper part of this roof, with the lesser pendents descending from them, are peculiar to it."
