12/12 pitch
This can also be referred to as 45 Degrees, but Pitch is a common term that is reported in parts per 12.
1/12 is very shallow, and 24/12 is straight up like a flagpole.
So, 12/12 is half way, or 45 Degrees.

Why gargoyles are on churches why?
A gargoyle is a carved stone grotesque designed to carry water away from a roof and the walls of a building, most obviously seen in churches. It is most often seen as a medieval addition, but was known to the ancient Greeks , ancient Egyptians and derives from the Latin word Gula. Throughout the history of churches, gargoyles were used to convey the idea of evil, convincing people to go to church with the idea that the end was near. Gargoyles can represent Lions, the Wolf, Snakes. Goats, Monkeys, Eagles, Griffins, Harpies and Mermaids. They would now be replaced by guttersIt was believed in the 19th century that gargoyles warded of evil and served as protection against witches.http://www.webanswers.com/social-sciences/spiritual-religious/why-do-christian-monuments-like-churches-have-gorgoyles-sculpted-35269f
What is the difference between a rich and a poor Tudor house?
Typical half-timbered Tudor house One of the most startling transformations in the history of English architecture took place in the Tudor period. It was not, however, a transformation in style. Buildings were still largely Gothic in form; at least during the first half century of the Tudor period. Instead the transformation was a social one; building effort now went towards secular, rather than ecclesiastical buildings. There are several reasons for this change. One is simple; there were plenty of churches for the needs of the population of England. More profoundly, the church was no longer the force it had been in the medieval period. The growing unpopularity of the church, with its perceived worldliness and wealth, meant that those with money to spend now spent it on themselves. The Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII meant that there were large areas of land freed up for exploitation by the newly wealthy gentry class. New farms were built upon former monastic lands, and labourers' cottages for tenants who worked the land. Curiously, changes in architectural style resulted in buildings shrinking; becoming more intimate. Rather than the move towards spaciousness so evident in the late Gothic period, Tudor architecture focussed on details. Windows and doors were smaller, but more ornately decorated, more complex. The smartly pointed arch of the Gothic period gave way to the flattened Tudor arch. The most striking window treatment to emerge in the Tudor period is the oriel, a projecting, multi-sided window cantilevered out from an upper floor, and supported on a bracket or corbel from beneath. Tudor Chimney Chimneys and enclosed fireplaces became common for the first time. Indeed, the Tudor chimney is one of the most striking aspects of this period. One of the reasons for the increased use of chimneys was the widespread adoption of coal as fuel. Previously wood smoke was allowed to escape from the interior through a simple hole in the roof. Now, the increased smoke from coal made necessary evolved forms of fireplaces, flues, and chimneys to get the smoke away from the living space. Chimney stacks were often clustered in groups, and the individual chimney columns were curved, twisted, and decorated with chequerboard patterns of different-coloured bricks. And that brings up a second noticeable characteristic of Tudor architecture; the use of brick in building. Spreading from East Anglia, where it had been introduced from the Low Countries in the late medieval period, brick became one of the most common building materials. Some bricks were imported into England, brought back in ships that exported English wool to the continent. Others were made in brickyards established in East Anglia by Dutch immigrants. It may seem strange to the modern reader, but brick was originally a luxury item. Only those at the top of the social and economic spectrum could afford to build in brick. The most remarkable Tudor brick building is Hampton Court Palace, but a multitude of smaller estates and country houses made use of this newly fashionable luxury material. In several areas of England, notably Cheshire, Lancashire, and Warwickshire, wooden houses, generally in oak, are more numerous than brick. Wood was used to create a skeleton which was filled in with brick or plaster. Bricks were often laid in a herringbone pattern, made possible because they had no structural responsibilities; the wooden posts took the strain and the bricks served as decorative infill. A hybrid form saw the lower story built in stone, with wood used for the upper stories. Where bricks were too expensive plaster was the infill of choice, resulting in the typical "black-and-white" small Tudor house, whitewashed plaster set between blackened oak timbers. Often the upper stories of these houses projected above the lower floors, particularly in towns, where ground-floor space was at a premium and the house owner might be taxed according to street frontage. A simple Tudor window and moulding Even in wooden houses, though, window and doors are similar to the stone designs, with small arches capped by simple squared-off mouldings. The great houses of the Tudor period featured fanciful gatehouses. The idea was to create an impressive, awe-inspiring entrance. This was accomplished by entry through a broad, low arch flanked by tall octagonal towers decorated with ornate false battlements. Above the entry arch many houses prominently featured a family coat of arms. Linen fold paneling The most obvious feature of interior decoration is the widespread use of oak panelling. This panelling often extends from floor to ceiling. The most common motif used for the panelling was the linen-fold, a raised carving imitating folds of cloth. The term "linen-fold" is a 19th century one; at the time this pattern was termed "lignum undulatum", or "wavy woodwork".
Tell you about the history Allen solly?
The publicity material of Allen Solly , claiming that they were established in 1744 (the date Thomas took on his first apprentice in 1744), is not, strictly speaking, true. In fact the Solly family ,from Kent,did not enter the Business until 1832. Prior to that it operated under the name of Allen and Phillips, and later John Allen and Sons. To avoid confusion, in what follows I will refer to the business as "Allen Solly" In the very early days hosiery manufacture the work was out sourced (as we would say) The Master Craftsman would supply the worker with a frame, the raw materials( cotton, silk or wool) and collect and sell the finished product The workers (called stockingers )worked from their homes which were small and poorly lit cottages. Some of them preferred to play cricket during the day and work at night, using oil lamps. It was very delicate and skilled work . An apprenticeship of seven years is testimony to that. Over a period of time men like Thomas could own an increasing number of frames thereby increasing their wealth. The "domestic system ," as it was called , being spread over a wide area, proved in time to be an uneconomical method of production, although it continued on a diminishing scale, well into the 20th Century. The factory system which began to emerge in the early part of the 19th Century, , proved to be more economical. When men and machines were brought together under one roof, discipline could be imposed. productivity increased, and labour costs reduced. Labour specialisation and the use of power driven machines further increased production and reduced costs. (this has a familiar and modern ring about it.) The output of stockingers increased so much that the hosiery market became saturated This lead to unemployment amongst the stockingers, and a great deal of industrial unrest, spurred on by the Luddites. (For more about the Luddites see Wikipedia Article.) Although at this time Allen Solly did not have a factory, preferring to retain the domestic system, they were among the most enterprising hosiers, being one of the first to export their merchandise. There is evidence of hosiery being sent to America in 1811. By 1851 Allen Solly were exporting to all the principal European Countries as well as to America. By this time the Company had gained a reputation for fine quality hosiery and members of Royal Families, Indian Princes, and Presidents of the U.S.A., enjoyed the garments turned out by successive generations of craftsmen. Having built up a world wide reputation for high quality goods and the use of only the highest quality silk, cotton and wool; Allen Solly found that the domestic system was now unable to meet the demand. In 1860 the first factory was built on the site of an old oast house, at Godalming in Surrey. The following advertisement appeared in a Boston newspaper in 1887 ALLEN AND SOLLY FINE UNDERWEAR AND HOSIERY Our experience with their goods is so entirely satisfactory that we wish to draw the attention of those who have not yet tested them to theirgreat and superior excellence. Their softness, elasticity, and non shrinking qualities, make them the perfection of comfort. HEWINS AND HOLLISMEN'S OUTFITTERS In 1888, the Company decided to build a purpose built factory on the outskirts of Arnold, a village near Nottingham. Such was the quality of the factory and its surrounds that it was described , by an American visitor, as a model , in the practical sense , and in the way it made concessions to Philanthropy and Aestheticism. "In America," he said, "Such places were few and far between." Changes and improvements continued to be made right through to the first quarter of the 20th Century. Although Allen Solly engaged in most branches of fully fashioned knitwear they specialised in 6 and 3 rib hose and half hose. It was to this that they owed the greater part of their success and reputation. Quality and service remained at the heart of the Allen Solly philosophy, so that when, in 1946, an American Millionaire placed an order for a dozen pairs of socks , in a pattern so intricate that only a manually operated loom could perform the task, all minds turned to finding a solution . The Company retained such a machine which had been decommissioned some twenty years earlier. A former employee was tracked down and , at the age of 91, showed that he had not lost any of his old skills. In the 1960's Allen Solly became part of Coats Viyella. Today (2007) Allen Solly is just a label and production is based in India. (For those interested a Google search of "Allen Solly" might be worthwhile) The factory at Arnold has been partially dismantled and what remains is used by a number of small businesses . The original knitting room with its large window space is classified as a heritage building. The last Allen to be involved in the Company was Lionel Allen, a great grandson of James Roger (above) If we take 1744 as our stating date and the closing date of 1975, we can say that the Allens were involved in the manufacture of high quality garments for 231 years. A fine record indeed. Modern production methods are a far cry from those used by our Ancestors and their employees and do not require the same skills that they had. Nor is the same pride taken in the finished product. Ah well, that is progress, I suppose. Today's methods can best be described as; "Cut and sew." To date I have not been able to find a retailer in NZ who could sell me something with the Allen Solly label. I dare say that if I visited America. I would not have the same problem. ,From Keith Allen Masterton NZ a direct descendant oF Thomas Allen (above)
