ower have four lights each, and the
tracery is comparatively simple though flowing and free. The next two
on either side of the choir are slightly more elaborate and contain
five lights each, while the east window is quite different from the
rest. It has five lights, and the head of the window contains a fine
Catharine-wheel.

In the north-west window (_i.e._, immediately over the Warwick Chapel)
are--1. Fitz-Hamon; 2. Robert Fitzroy; 3. Hugh le Despenser; 4.
Gilbert de Clare (third), the tenth Earl of Gloucester. In the
south-west window, _i.e._, the one exactly opposite to the last
mentioned, are--1. Gilbert de Clare (the first of the name); 2. Lord
de la Zouch; 3. Richard de Clare; 4. Gilbert de Clare (the second).
These knights are all in armour, and are valuable as giving accurate
representation of the armour and knightly gear of their time. Above
the knights are represented canopies, and in the heads of the windows
are scrolls of vine-leaves.

The bodies of the De Clares lie below the choir pavement, almost in a
line with these two windows.

The other windows on either side contain Scripture subjects, many of
them very fragmentary: Daniel, David, Abraham, Jeremiah, Solomon, and
Joel are, however, easily to be found.

The east window represents the Last Judgment. In the centre Christ is
depicted with uplifted hands, on which are the stigmata of the
Passion. The side lights, from their unsymmetrical arrangement, would
seem to have been rearranged, or rather disarranged, at some time. The
Apostles would naturally be grouped on either side, in the outer
lights. The other two lights represent St. John and the Blessed
Virgin. Of these figures the heads, which are modern, were put in
(free of charge) in 1828 by a London glass-painter named Collins. In
the five panels below the figures are groups of persons arising from
their graves; one group represents an angel disputing with the evil
one for the possession of three persons bound with a chain. At the
bottom are armorial bearings.

In the floor of the choir there are graves in which many notable
persons, who made their mark in history, were buried.

Exactly under the central point of the vaulting of the tower is the
site of the grave of Prince Edward, son of Henry VI. and Margaret
Anjou. He died on the 4th of May, 1471, and with him the last hope of
the Red Rose party was finally crushed.
