d. This monument was
formerly at the Black Friars Monastery, but was removed here at the
Suppression. Sir Richard Pembridge was a Knight of the Garter (53rd of
that order) at the time of Edward III., and was present at Poitiers. He
died in 1375. There are still traces of colour on this monument and gold
remains on the points of the cap to which the camail is fastened, as also
on the jewelled sword-belt. A sheaf of green coloured leathers is
separated from the tilting helmet, on which the head rests, by a coronet
of open roses. When the effigy was brought here it had but one leg left,
and that the gartered one. A wooden limb was carved, and the workman
showed such accuracy in duplicating the stone leg that the Knight was
adorned with a pair of garters for many years until Lord Saye and Sele,
Canon Residentiary, presented the Cathedral with a new alabaster leg, and
the wooden one was banished to a shelf in the library.

THE NAVE.

_Photochrom Co., Ld., Photo._

Under a foliated Decorated arch in the wall in the fifth bay is the carved
figure of an unknown ecclesiastic. The effigy is headless and otherwise
much mutilated.

In the sixth bay is another mutilated and headless figure, under a
foliated arch, which is crowned by a bearded head wearing a cap. It is
thought to be the monument of a former treasurer.

In the fifth bay a quaint door leads from the aisle to the Bishop's
Cloister. This has a square heading which rises above the sill of the
window over it. There is an interesting series of heads in the hollow
moulding, which are said to be copies of earlier work in the same
position. The iron-work of the door itself is modern by Potter. A lofty
Norman arch leads from this aisle into the south transept.

The north aisle of the nave is similar in style to the south. It contains
six memorial windows to Canon Clutton and his wife, with subjects by
Warrenton from the life of St. John the Baptist.

In the sixth bay from the west of the north wall of the nave is the effigy
and tomb under which is buried Bishop Booth (1535), the builder of the
large projecting porch which bears his name. The recumbent figure of the
Bishop is fully vested with a _mitra pretiosa_ with pendent fillets. He
wears a cassock, amice, alb, stole, fringed tunic and dalmatic, and
chasuble with orfrays in front. On his feet are broad-toed sandals; his
hands are gl
