= Introduction =

The Penguin Dictionary of Architecture (third edition) was published in 1980. It was created for Penguin Reference and compiled by John Fleming, Hugh Honour and Nikolaus Pevsner.

It defines a hood mould as: ‘A projecting moulding to throw off the rain, on the face of a wall, above an arch, doorway or window; can be called dripstone or, if rectangular, a label.’

A hood mould (hood-mould or hoodmould or hood mold label mould drip mould) may also be referred to as a label or label mould.

= Purpose =

This type of moulding is sometimes finished off by another type of moulding structure referred to as a label stop. A label stop can be a boss that is plain or decorative.

From the side, a hood mould may have an upper surface that angles downward and includes a recessed space that serves to direct drips away from the arch.

At its lower ends, the hood mould may be terminated by being placed on a column capital. It may also be finished off by another type of moulding structure referred to as a label stop. A label stop can be a boss that is plain or decorative.

Hood moulding that is positioned over something other than an archway opening, it may then be referred to as a drip mould.

= History =

The hood mould initially appeared during the Romanesque architectural period. It was originally used to protect carved mouldings from erosion and other damage caused by rain.

Eventually, the hood mould became a highly decorative feature, and became especially important during the Gothic architectural period. Hood moulds appear above many external arches found in Gothic structures built in much of Europe. In England, they were also used over interior arches - especially those above nave arcades.

With the introduction of rectangular windows for residential buildings, hood moulds were adapted for domestic architecture.
