iginally beautified by colours and gilding, but all
are injured and defaced, and the figures have disappeared.

A little further eastward is the memorial brass laid over the grave of
Mr. Bassevi, the eminent architect of the Fitzwilliam Museum at
Cambridge, who was accidentally killed by a fall in the western Tower
in 1845.

The monuments of Bishop Redman and Kilkenny, which we noticed in our
survey of the Choir, are in their original places; and we now pass in
succession those of Bishops Patrick (1691-1707), Mawson (1754-1770),
and Laney (1667-1675). In 1770 many monuments were removed from the
Presbytery to make room for the Choir, and a few were again removed
for the purpose of carrying out the recent arrangements. In the last
bay but one (now opening to the Retro-Choir) stood the monument of
Bishop Gray (1454-1478), but the gravestone only remains, from which
the brass has been removed. The arms of this prelate may be observed
in the sides of three of the windows of this aisle, no doubt altered
by him to their present form.

The first or western window of the Presbytery has been
filled with stained glass executed by M. Lusson, of Paris,
illustrative of the history of St. John the Baptist; the
gift of the Rev. Chancellor Sparke.

The second window, executed by Messrs. Clayton and Bell,
contains subjects illustrative of the miracles; designed as
a memorial of the Rev. J.H. Sparke, many years Canon of the
Cathedral, and Chancellor of the Diocese.

The third window, by the same artist, also contains subjects
illustrative of the miracles; designed as a memorial of
Agneta, widow of Chancellor Sparke.

The fourth window, executed by Mr. Hughes, contains subjects
from the parables--the wheat and tares, the vineyard, and
the lost sheep; and the miraculous draught of fishes,
designed as a memorial of Eliza, widow of Canon Fardell.

The fifth window, executed by Mr. Ward, contains in the two
western lights subjects from the parable of the ten virgins;
and in the others illustrations of the passage in Matt. XXV.
35, 36. "I was an hungered and ye gave me meat," &c.;
designed as a memorial of Rev. H. Fardell, Canon of Ely.

At the end of this aisle, occupying the space of one bay, is the
+Chapel of Bishop Alcock+, (1486-1500), who was comptroller of works
under Henry VII., and founder of Jesus College, Cambridge. The chap
