were made into one which was used for early service,
and called the morning chapel. We read in the chapter records of a minor
canon being appointed to read the prayers at 6 o'clock, and once at
least the hour is named as 5 o'clock, in the morning. This chapel was
fitted up with some of the desks from the choir; and, judging from a
number of names and initials that had been cut upon the desks, it has
been conjectured that it was at one time used for the chapel of the
King's School. At the north end is a desk for the reader or readers made
out of two Early English stalls; there are three double shafts with
admirably carved wooden foliage in the capitals. A very fine little
Norman door leads to the staircase to the triforium. It should be
mentioned that in the triforium is arranged an excellent series of
stones, fragments, mouldings, and various ornaments, found in different
places during the recent restoration.

The series of basins of Alwalton marble was found, during the recent
underpinning of the west front, in use as foundation stones; they appear
to be of late Norman date. One window in the north transept aisle and
all three in the south have fine geometrical tracery. The three chapels
in the south transept were used as vestries until a few years ago, when
the space beneath the bell-tower and part of the north aisle of the nave
was converted into a large vestry for both clergy and choir. In the
chapel here nearest the choir there remains the lower part of the newel
staircase which led to an upper chapel. On the west side of the south
transept has been erected a building which has in its time served many
different purposes. It can hardly be called an aisle, as there is only
access to the transept by a single ogee-headed doorway, which is a
Decorated insertion. This building is of late, almost transition, Norman
date; and is not very many years later than the transept itself. It can
be seen from the cloister court that it had originally three gables. The
roof is vaulted. In an inventory of goods made in 1539, printed in
Gunton, there is one chapel described as the "Ostrie Chapel," which is
believed to refer to this building. In a plan drawn in Bishop Kennett's
time and dedicated to him, the south part is called "The Hostry Chapel,
now the Chapter-House," and the north part is called the "Chapel of St.
Sprite or the Holy Ghost." In some plans it is called the vestry. It has
