Of singular interest with regard to the contemporary use of gauged brick-
work is Moxon's plate 5. This shows the principal elevation of a new city house
of 'The second sort of Building fronting the Streets and Lanes of Note, and
the River of Thames'.
Through study of Moxon's plate 5 one can see how all the principal archi-
tectural enrichments are all intended to be built in 'rubbed brick' and are
listed as:
B. The First Fascia
C. The Second Fascia
D. The three plain courses of Bricks over the Arches
E. The Cornice
F. Streight Arches
Elaborating further on the detailing of the moulded fascia and cornice, Moxon
(1703, 267-68 and Plate 6) (Fig. 84) illustrates and emphasises the impor-
tance of sound geometrical craft knowledge in designing and executing the cut
mouldings:
A. Aftragal.
B. Ovolo, or Boltel, reversed.
P. Plain Courfes.
S. Is Scima reverfa.
O. Joint of Morter.
