vost of Eton and builder of the chantry already described. It
is a fine alabaster effigy with accompanying figures. The bishop wears
alb, stole, and chasuble.

Beyond the entrance to Bishop Stanbury's Chantry is a Perpendicular effigy
under an arch which is assigned to Bishop Richard de Capella (died 1127).

On the chancel floor is a very good brass to Bishop Trilleck (died 1360).

In the north-east transept are the following antiquarian remains:--Two
altar-stones, nearly perfect, whereon are placed:--

Six mutilated effigies of unknown lay persons, probably buried in or near
the Magdalen Chapels, but dug up on the south side of the Bishop's
Cloisters, A.D. 1820, and brought inside the cathedral A.D. 1862.

Two matrices of brasses; also a small one on the wall.

The wooden pulpit--very late Perpendicular work from which every canon on
his appointment formerly had to preach forty sermons on forty different
days in succession.

We may also notice two rich pieces of iron-work from Sir A. Denton's tomb:
the head of a knight or templar's effigy and several heraldic shields from
monuments in the cathedral--especially seven in alabaster now placed
against the east wall.

COMPARTMENT OF CHOIR, EXTERIOR, NORTH SIDE.

*The Choir*, with its details of architecture and its individual
accessories, is very beautiful, notwithstanding an unusual deficiency of
light, caused by the position of the transepts, which practically
intercept all light except that from the clerestory. It consists of three
lofty Norman bays of three stages. The middle of the three stages has some
exquisite dwarfed Norman arches with no triforium passages; but there is
one in the upper stage, with slender and graceful Early English arches and
stained glass at back. The vaulting is also Early English, and dates from
about the middle of the thirteenth century.

The principal arches of the choir are supported by massive piers with
square bases. The shafts are semi-detached and bear capitals enriched with
foliated and grotesque ornament. In each bay on the triforium level a wide
Norman arch envelops two smaller arches, supported by semi-circular piers
on each side.

A richly carved square-string course runs along the base of the triforium.
