Lancet window

Tall, narrow window with a pointed arch at its top

A lancet window is a tall, narrow window with a sharp lancet pointed arch at its top. It acquired the "lancet" name from its resemblance to a lance. Instances of this architectural element are typical of Gothic church edifices of the earliest period. Lancet windows may occur singly, or paired under a single moulding, or grouped in an odd number with the tallest window at the centre.
