Below this is the following inscription:-- Samuel Waldegrave 57th Bishop of Carlisle Born Sept. 13, 1817; Consecrated, Nov. 12, 1860; Entered into rest Oct. 1, 1869. "To me to live is Christ and to die is gain." Phil. i. 21. A tribute of Affection, Admiration, and Respect. Raised by public subscription. A.D. 1872. A recess with low pointed arch beneath the third window from the east formerly contained a monument to Sir John Skelton, Knt. (1413-22). Outside St. Catherine's Chapel is an altar tomb with a damaged effigy in red sandstone of Bishop Barrow (1423-29).
