Talk:Corbel

" Norman corbels generally have a plain appearance. In the Early English period they sometimes became elaborately carved, as at Lincoln, and sometimes more simply so, as at Stone. "

Which one? Stone, Buckinghamshire, Stone,_Gloucestershire , Stone,_Kent, Stone,_Staffordshire, or Stone, Worcestershire???

I've moved the stone link into the hidden comment as the disambiguation link wasn't helping anyone. Note that the Old French origin of the word is taken from Chambers Concise Dictionary. In Scots language "corbie" means raven or crow, but that didn't really fit into this article. ...dave souza: talk 19:31, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"as at"

These "as at" comments, which the 1911 Britannica articles on architecture seem to specialise in, are very unhelpful. "As at Lincoln… as at Stone… as at Winchester" all appeared in this article. Both Lincoln and Winchester are large cities and must have many mediaeval buildings with corbels. Which building was the original writer referring to? And there are 5 places named Stone in the UK: exactly which building, in which Stone, did they mean? SiGarb | Talk 18:48, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
