Jacobethan
Jacobethan is probably the earliest architectural style of the Victorian era (1837 - 1855). The Jacobethan style derived inspiration from the English Renaissance with elements of Elizabethan and Jacobean. The Jacobethan buildings were characterised by flattened, cusped Tudor arches, lighter stone trimmed windows and doors, steep roof gables, carved brick detailing, brickwork, balustrades and cf1 parapets, pillars supporting porches and high chimneys. Mentmore in Buckinghamshire is a good example of the Jacobethan architecture.
