re to be found most of the inscriptions, some having
been brought from other chambers. A few are in the entrance passage and
on the stair. All are numbered and catalogued. The following--to which
the numbers are appended--will be found the most interesting:--

2. On the ground-floor, near the entrance, ROBART DVDLEY. This was the
fifth son of John, Duke of Northumberland, and next brother to Guildford
Dudley, the husband of Lady Jane Grey. When his father was brought to
the block in 1553 he and his brothers remained in prison here, Robert
being condemned to death in 1554. In the following year he was liberated
with his elder brother Ambrose, afterwards created Earl of Warwick, and
his younger brother Henry. In the first year of Queen Elizabeth he was
made Master of the House and elected a Knight of the Garter. In 1563 he
was created Earl of Leicester. He died at Cornbury, in Oxfordshire, in
1588.

8. On the left, at the entrance of the great chamber, is a carved cross,
with other religious emblems, with the name and arms of PEVEREL, and the
date 1570. It is supposed to have been cut by a Roman Catholic prisoner
confined during the reign of Queen Elizabeth.

13. Over the fire-place this inscription in Latin:--"The more suffering
for Christ in this world the more glory with Christ in the next," &c.
This is signed "Arundel, June 22, 1587." This was Philip Howard, son of
Thomas, Duke of Norfolk, beheaded in 1573. Philip inherited from his
maternal grandfather the earldom of Arundel in 1580. He was a staunch
Roman Catholic and was constantly under suspicion of the Government, by
which in 1584 he was confined in his own house for a short time. On his
liberation he determined to quit the country, but was committed to the
Tower in 1585, and died in custody ten years later, having refused
release on condition of forsaking his religion. His body was buried in
his father's grave in the Chapel of St. Peter, but was eventually
removed to Arundel. He left other inscriptions, one in the window (79),
and one on the staircase (91), dated 1587.

14. On the right of the fire-place is an elaborate piece of sculpture
(Pl. XII), which will be examined with peculiar interest as a memorial
of the four brothers Dudley: Ambrose (created Earl of Warwick 1561),
Guildford (beheaded 1554), Robert (created Earl of Leicester 1563), and
Henry (killed at the siege of St. Quintin, 1558), carved by the eldest,
John (called Earl of Warwick), who died in
