EARLY ENGLISH BASEMENT MOULDING.
The five eastern windows in the Lady Chapel were designed by Mr.
Cottingham, junior, and executed by Gibbs, to the memory of Dean
Merewether.
A series of twenty-one subjects, in medallions, connected with the life of
our Lord. These windows were erected in 1852.
In the south-east transept is a memorial window to Bishop Huntingford,
1816 to 1832. It was designed and manufactured by Warrington at the sole
cost of Lord Saye and Sele.
The upper part of the tracery is filled with the arms of George III.,
those of the See of Gloucester, the See of Hereford, Winchester College,
and of the bishop's family.
The subjects, relating to St. Peter, are:--
1. His Call; 2. Walking on the Sea; 3. Receiving the Keys; 4. Denial of
our Lord; 5. S. Peter and S. John at the Gate of the Temple; 6. Baptism of
Cornelius; 7. Raising of Dorcas; 8. Deliverance from Prison by an Angel.
In the north and south side of the clerestory of the choir are simple
stained glass windows, consisting of various patterns. They were
manufactured by Messrs. Castell of Whitechapel.
The eastern central window of the choir was an anonymous gift in 1851,
executed by Hardman.
Its beauties are entirely lost at its present height from the ground. The
circular medallions are 3 feet in diameter, the subjects being:--
1. The Ascension; 2. The Resurrection; 3. The Crucifixion.
The upper semi-circles represent Christ healing lepers and demoniacs; the
lower, His being taken down from the Cross, and Mary with the box of
precious ointment.
CHAPTER IV. - HISTORY OF THE SEE.
The true origin of the See of Hereford is lost in remote antiquity.
However, it seems probable from the researches of many antiquarians that
when Putta came to preside here in the seventh century the see was
re-established.
