self. There are in each
bay two pointed arches, each containing three smaller arches with foiled
headings surmounted by three open quatrefoils. The spandrels between the
arches are diapered in low relief with leaf ornament. Above, far back in
the clerestory arches, are octofoil windows with sills of over-lapping
courses, which incline forward to the string course above the triforium.

The shafts of all the windows are ringed at the angles, and the triangular
arches are of an unusual stilted shape, similar to those in the clerestory
of Worcester Cathedral on the south side of the nave. These are, however,
of later date, and may have been imitated by the Worcester architect.

The restoration of the north transept by Sir G. G. Scott was
satisfactorily carried out, and certainly improves the general effect.

*Monuments in the North Transept.*--The great north stained-glass window by
Hardman was placed there as a memorial to Archdeacon Lane-Freer who died
in 1863. Underneath this window, which is described later on in the
section devoted to stained glass, is the stone effigy of Bishop
Westfayling (died 1602). The canopy was removed by Wyatt, and the effigy
is now leaning on its side against the wall. There is an undoubted
original half-length portrait of this bishop in the Hall of Jesus College,
Oxford. There are monuments to other members of the family in the church
at Ross.

In the pavement near the choir-aisle is a brass to John Philips, the
author of _The Splendid Shilling_ and of _Cyder_, a poem endearing him to
Herefordshire. His family belonged to this county, although he himself was
born in Oxfordshire. There is also a monument to Philips in Poets' Corner,
Westminster Abbey. He died in 1708, at the early age of 32.

The next monument in the north transept is the effigy of Bishop Thomas
Charlton, treasurer of England, 1329. This effigy and its richly decorated
alcove or canopy was most luckily not touched by Wyatt.

Here are stained-glass windows to Captain Arkwright, lost in an avalanche;
Captain Kempson, and Rev. S. Clark, Headmaster of Battersea College.

In a line with the central pier of the eastern aisle is the most important
monument in the north transept, viz.:--the pedestal of the celebrated
shrine of St. Thomas de Cantilupe, 1282, who died at Civita Vecchia, near
