'rogue architect' - term devised by H. Goodhart-Rendel to describe the wilfulness & studied incorrectness of certain High Victorian designers.

triglyphs - blocks in a Doric frieze (explained as originally the ends of wooden joists set on the architrave) named from vertical grooves (glyphs) in the ends; (2 full grooves plus 2 half-grooves = 3.)

vernacular architecture -the products of local craftsmen meeting simple functional requirements according to traditional plans & procedures, with the aid of local building materials and methods of construction (rather than 'polite' designed by architects.)
