A lancet window is a tall, narrow window with a pointed arch at its top.〔(Buffalo Architecture ), accessed 24 October 2006〕 It acquired the "lancet" name from its resemblance to a lance.〔(Encyclopædia Britannica Online ) accessed 24 October 2006〕 Instances of this architectural motif are typical of Gothic ecclesiastical structures of the earliest period. Lancet windows may occur singly, or paired under a single moulding, or grouped in an odd number with the tallest window at the centre. The motif first appeared in the French early-Gothic period (c. 1140–1200) and later in the English period of Gothic architecture (1200–1275). So common was the lancet window feature that this era is sometimes known as the "Lancet Period".〔(Gothic Architecture in England ) accessed 24 October 2006〕 The term "lancet window" is properly applied to windows of austere form, without tracery. Paired windows were sometimes surmounted by a simple opening such as a quatrefoil cut in plate tracery. This form gave way to the more ornate, multi-light traceried windowed. ==Examples== File:South transept, Beverley Minster - geograph.org.uk - 1774861.jpg|Early English lancet windows in the south transept of Beverley Minster, East Riding of Yorkshire, England File:High Altar - geograph.org.uk - 1428606.jpg|Early English lancet windows, built 1234, east end of Southwell Minster, Nottinghamshire, England File:Ardfert Cathedral Choir Windows 2012 09 11.jpg| Early English east window and series of nine lancet windows in the south wall of the choir, in the ruined Ardfert Cathedral, County Kerry, Ireland File:Hereford Cathedral (7823194816).jpg|Early English lancet windows in the Lady Chapel of Hereford Cathedral, Herefordshire, England File:Early English Y tracery - geograph.org.uk - 822369.jpg|Late 13th century Y tracery in lancet windows of chancel of St Helen's church, Barnoldby le Beck, Lincolnshire, England File:St Andrew's church - chancel - geograph.org.uk - 818626.jpg|The triple lancet east window, c. 1300, in St Andrew's Church, Attlebridge, Norfolk, England File:Chiesa di Santa Lucia al Galluzzo - Facade - Left Aisle.jpg|Left aisle with single lancet window in the medieval church of St Lucia in Galluzzo, Florence, Italy.
