emorial window to Mrs. Evans. In colour it
resembles the third window, and is by the same artist.

The _sixth window_ is a memorial to Mrs Ellis. It is historical, but
bristles with anachronisms.

The _seventh window_ is a memorial (executed by Warrington) to Jeremiah
Nettleton Balme.

The _eighth window_ is in memory of Lieut.-Col. Sir Harry Francis
Colville Darell, who died in 1853.

#North Aisle.#--This aisle retains its original Norman vaulting. The
Norman piers, which correspond to the piers in the nave, are divided
into several members, and their capitals are in some cases richly
carved. In each bay the jambs and heads are of old work, filled in with
Perpendicular tracing. A stone bench along the wall is also
Perpendicular.

The door into the cloister at the west end of the aisle contains some
very fine work. The wall is panelled on either side, and the panels are
said to have formerly had paintings of the twelve apostles. The side
niches and the canopy work over the door should be examined.

The door at the eastern end of the aisle by which access is gained to
the cloisters and the chapter-house is also of Perpendicular work. Both
of these doors have fan-vaulted recesses, like the great west door of
the nave. They are so contrived that the doors may open into them and
occupy the minimum of space.

Over the east door in the cloisters there were blazoned some years back
the arms of the See, the Bishop, the Dean, the Canons, the Darell and
Nightingall families.

The west end of the aisle is the work of Abbot Morwent, and is of the
same date as his reconstructed west end of the nave--viz. 1421-1437.

The _west window_ in this aisle was filled with glass by Hardman. It is
a memorial to Wm. Viner Ellis of Minsterworth. Subject: Events in the
life of King Lucius, who is said to have been the first Christian king
in this land, and to have been buried in the Church of St. Mary de Lode.

The scrolls contain the monkish lines--

Es merito Celebris ex quo baptisma subisti.
Lucius in tenebris prius idola qui coluisti.

The four figures represent Robert, Duke of Normandy; Thomas of
Woodstock, 1397; Humphrey, 1447; William Frederick, 1534; all three of
them Dukes of Gloucester.

The _first window_ (or over the west door into cloisters), of which only
two lights are open, is a memorial window to Thomas Churchus (1870). The
window, which is by Clayton & Bell, is very pleasing in colour.

The _second wind
