memory of Archbishop Musgrave, once Bishop of Hereford, to
whom there is also another window by Warrington in the wall of the aisle
above the chantry, which is only 11 feet in height. The subjects are taken
from the life of St. Paul.

Monument to Bishop Raynaldus, 1115, one of the chief of the Norman
builders of Hereford.

In a Perpendicular recess on the left of the door opening to the turret
staircase which leads to the archive room and chapter library is an effigy
said to be of Bishop Hugh de Mapenore, 1219. Above is a stained glass
window by Clayton and Bell, placed here as a memorial of John Hunt,
organist, who died 1842, and his nephew. There is also a small brass plate
at the side of the window, from which we learn that the nephew James died
"of grief three days after his uncle."

In the middle bay on the north side of the choir is the monument of Bishop
Bennett (1617), who was buried here. He wears a close black cap, and the
rochet and his feet are resting on a lion. Across his tomb one gets a fine
view of the Norman double arches of the triforium stage on the other side
of the choir.

In the north wall of the north choir aisle in the first of the series of
arched recesses, of Decorated character, with floral ornament in the
mouldings, is an effigy assigned to Bishop Geoffrey de Cliva (died 1120),
and in the same bay of the choir as Bishop Bennett's tomb is the effigy of
a bishop, fully vested, holding the model of a tower. It is assigned to
Bishop Giles De Braose (died 1215), who was erroneously thought to have
been the builder of the western tower (which fell in 1786). This effigy
belongs to the Perpendicular period, when a number of memorials were
erected to earlier bishops.

In the calendar of the ancient missal "_Secundum usum Herefordensem_,"
previously quoted, occurs the following entry:--"_XV. Kal. Decem. Obitus
pie memorie Egidii de Breusa Herefordensis Episcopi, qui inter cetera bona
decimas omnium molendinorum maneriorium suorum Herefordensi Ecclesie
contulit, et per cartam quam a Domino Rege Johanne acquisivit omnes
homines sui ab exactionibus vicecomitum liberantur._"

In the easternmost bay on the north of the choir is the effigy of Bishop
Stanbury, pro
