Anne also that Godlye woman hath put to her Hand,
Approving her Husband's Acte, and enlarging the same,
Whyche Benefits considered all this Contry is band
Entirely to pray for them or ellis it were to blame.
Now Christe that suffered for us all Passion, Payne, and Shame,
Grant them their Reward in Hevyn among that gloriouse Company.
There to reigne in Joy and Blyss with them eternally!

*The South-east Transept*, lying between the retro-choir and the
chapter-house, into which it opens, is in the main Decorated, though its
window tracery is perhaps somewhat later, being almost flamboyant in
character. It was altered from the original Norman apse, and in the walls
bases of the earlier work remain. It has an eastern aisle, separated from
it by a single octagonal pillar.

Before the aisles were added the now open window looking into the Lady
Chapel formed part of the outside wall of the chapel, and was glazed.
There is a lovely view from this transept, looking slantwise into the Lady
Chapel. In this transept are a number of fragments of brasses, mouldings,
stone, etc. The chief monument is that to Bishop Lewis Charleton, 1369.
His effigy lies under the wall dividing the transept from the vestibule of
the Lady Chapel. Above it is a fine monument, restored in 1875, to Bishop
Coke, died 1646. This bishop was brother to Sir John Coke, Secretary of
State to Charles I. His coloured shield is borne by two angels.

A black marble slab, in excellent preservation, marks the spot where the
remains of Bishop Ironside were laid on Christmas Eve, 1867, in presence
of the dean, archdeacon, and praecentor, in a vault specially prepared for
them; and there is a small brass on the wall. Gilbert Ironside, D.D.,
Warden of Wadham College, Oxford, was Vice-Chancellor of the University in
1687, when James II. seized upon the venerable foundation of Magdalen
College and sent his commissioners to Oxford to expel the Fellows.

In his replies to the king, Dr. Ironside showed a firm and resolute spirit
in defence of the rights of Oxford. His refusal to dine with the
commissioners on the day of the Magdalen expulsion is described thus by
Macaulay:--"I am not," he said, "of Colonel Kerke's mind. I cannot eat my
meals with appetite under a gallows."

The brave old Warden of Wadham was not left to "eat his meals" much longer
in his beautiful college hall. William III., al
