ich are portraits of the men to whom we owe the design and
execution of the beautiful sculpture of this chapel. One is an elderly
man, the other much younger, and both wear linen dust-caps over their
heads.

The nine lancet windows were originally filled with ancient stained
glass, which, as the reader will remember, was removed, Below each
window was an altar. They were dedicated a follows, beginning at the
south end of the chapel:--

1. S. Andrew and S. Mary Magdalene. \
2. S. John the Baptist and S. Margaret. > South bay.
3. S. Thomas of Canterbury and S. Catherine. /

4. S. Oswald and S. Lawrence. \
5. S. Cuthbert and S. Bede. > Middle bay.
6. S. Martin. /

7. S. Peter and S. Paul. \
8. S. Aidan and S. Helen. > North bay.
9. S. Michael the Archangel. /

The rose window over the lancets of the middle bay is Wyatt's
"restoration" of the original one. It consists of an outer circle of
twenty-four and an inner circle of twelve radiating lights, the mullions
of which are received on a foliated circle in the centre.

In the north wall of the chapel is a very fine window, known as the
Joseph window, on account of the stained glass it originally contained,
which illustrated the life-history of Joseph. It is a beautiful example
of Early Decorated or geometrical Gothic, and is of six lights. There is
an inner plane of tracery resting on clustered shafts, which is
connected to the mullions of the window proper by through stones. The
window occupies the complete width of the north end of the chapel. The
painted glass which it once contained is thus described in the "Rites of
Durham":

"In the North Alley of the said Nine Altars, there is another goodly
faire great glass window, called Joseph's Window, the which hath in
it all the whole storye of Joseph, most artificially wrought in
pictures in fine coloured glass, accordinge as it is sett forth in
the Bible, verye good and godly to the beholders thereof."

This window deserves the attention of the architectural student, as it
is an exceedingly fine specimen of the tracery of its date.

The south wall of the chapel contains two windows, each divided by a
central mullion, and having an inner mullion connected by through
stones. They are widely splayed inwards, and separated by a group of
vaulting s
