or
kink in it.

[10] Mr. W.H. St. John Hope's description of this quoted _in extenso_
in "Gloucester" (Cathedral Series) is most interesting, and should be
carefully studied.

[11] Letters in brackets refer to the plan at the end.

[12] This Transept was used from 1813-17 as a temporary National
School.

[13] The columns are, with the exception of one which is round,
roughly hexagonal.

[14] In some plans this chapel is ascribed to St. Nicholas.

[15] The arch of this chamber shows distinct traces of fire, not
mentioned in any records, and the staircase to the tower, which then
communicated with this chamber, shows traces for a short distance on
the stonework.

[16] The same moulding is found at Durham in the doorway from the nave
into the cloisters, but there it is much mutilated; it is also found
at St. Joseph's Chapel, Glastonbury, and in various forms in the West
of England.

[17] It is not quite certain whether Sir Guy is actually buried here.

[18] It is generally considered to be that dedicated to St. John the
Baptist. The other altar in this chapel may have been dedicated to St.
George, though the chapel of the latter was probably one of those in
the nave.

[19] The dedication of this Norman chapel, like that of several others
here, is not known.

[20] The choir at Gloucester is 140 feet long and 33 feet wide.

[21] The sun was a favourite badge of Edward IV., and is said to have
been adopted in consequence of the appearance of three suns before the
battle of Mortimer's Cross. It appears upon some of his coins.

[22] The altar-stone at Gloucester was at one time used to pave the
south porch, and is now in the crypt.

[23] The safety of the old glass has been ensured by a protective
external window of rolled glass let in the mullions from the outside.
This was done in 1889.

[24] This Gilbert de Clare is said to have had a copy of Magna Charta
and the Charta de Foresta made and deposited in the Abbey.

[25] The floor of the upper part was never flat, and was in all
probability never intended for use.

[26] Heraldically speaking.

[27] Henry VII. left instructions in his will that a kneeling effigy
of himself should be placed on the top of the Confessor's shrine at
Westminster.

[28] The western pinnacle was carved locally in 1825-8, and is a very
careful piece of work.
