Architectural historian Christopher Wilson has identified the largest of the three studies on this card as the tracery of the east window of the south nave aisle of St Mary’s Church, Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire;1 that just below it shows the tracery of another window in the south aisle of the same church. It is likely that the third sketch is also from that church.
