Apron (architecture)

An apron is a raised section of ornamental stonework below a window ledge, stone tablet, or monument.[1]

Burford Methodist Church has aprons beneath its five upper windows.

Aprons were used by Roman engineers to build Roman bridges. The main function of apron was to surround the feet of the piers.[2]
