underpitch groining

Isaac Kremer/ September 9, 2018/ / 0 comments

The groining and also the groined vaulting resulting from the intersection of a larger and higher vault by smaller ones. It is generally assumed that the larger and the smaller vaults spring from the same plane and have the same, or nearly the same shape; the smaller vaults will then intersect the larger one but will not reach above its haunches. (Jones, 1992)
