Of S. Hugh's swan a long account is given in the "Vita S. Hugonis
Lincolniensis" published in the Rolls Series. A swan never before seen
at the place flew to the Bishop at his manor at Stowe directly after he
had been enthroned at Lincoln. He became passionately attached to the
bishop, but exhibited no liking for anyone else, he considered himself
bound to protect his master, driving other people away from him, "As I
myself," writes Giraldus Cambrensis, "have often with wonder seen,"
with his wings and beak.

=The Organ= was rebuilt in 1894 by Hill and Son at a cost, including the
case, of L4,400, and at the expense of the late Mr. W.H. Foster of
Witley, Surrey, though his name, at his own wish, remained undisclosed

=The Canopied Reredos= or =Baldachino= was given by the eight surviving
children of Dean Saunders as a memorial of their parents. The retable
was given by the Old Boys of the King's School. The reredos is a
magnificent erection, and renders the east end of this cathedral one of
the most dignified in the kingdom. The dais on which it stands is
thirteen feet square, and the summit reaches to the height of
thirty-five feet. Four large marble columns stand at the corners, from
the capitals of which spring cusped arches, the spandrels being enriched
with mosaic; while at the angles, above the columns, are figures of the
