Below, right: ogee-style windows on a building in Kings Lynn in Norfolk, which was
designed by Tree and Price of London.

The above picture shows ogee arch decoration on the front of the Great Gate at
Bury St. Edmunds, which was one of the entrances to the Benedictine Monastery
there. Although the ogee arch is purely decorative, the Gate itself was built for
defence purposes, evidenced by the narrow slits behind some of the niches. The
Gate is now a scheduled Grade 1 monument. The lower part was finished in 1346.

window but now in a broader window with three lights. The flowing forms result from the use of

Windows in the Chapter House at York Minster show the equilateral arch with typical circular
motifs in the tracery.
