Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on December 8, 2008.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that the 14th-century life-size stone effigies of a knight and his wife in St Margaret's Church, Ifield (pictured), England, have been said to have an "inimitable sideways sway"?

inimitable sideways sway

[edit]

what the heck is an inimitable sideways sway? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.114.95.121 (talk) 15:22, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's how Sir Nikolaus Pevsner, in his inimitable writing style, described the stone effigies. His architectural history books are full of such descriptions! Hassocks5489 (tickets please!) 17:57, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The question was, what does it mean?Petethewhistle (talk) 20:24, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Are the effigies semi-detached then? I'd also like to know what it means. Shir-El too 20:43, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, they are mounted on stone plinths. I interpret Pevsner's description as referring to the smooth, flowing lines with which they were carved, and the elegance they still have after more than six centuries (although they are a bit weathered, their details are still quite clear). Having said that, I'm no architectural historian, and Pevsner spent his life travelling around England looking at buildings and their contents; he didn't give praise lightly. Hope that helps a bit!
