figures holding books, and of women bearing religious attributes, might well stand for saints. 3. _South Tower._ Male figure, much decayed, held by metal clamps. 4. Male figure, much decayed, held by metal clamps. _Rest of figures missing along west front up to_-- 5. _North Tower._ Male figure, much decayed, holds book. 6. A similar figure. _Missing._ 7. _North Buttress._ Male figure, which held some drapery in front. 8. _North Buttress._ Male figure, holding a vessel in right hand covered with a cloth, the end of which was in left hand. [Cockerell calls this St. Augustine, erroneously supposing this cloth to be the pallium.] 9. Beautiful female figure,* drapery resembling a chasuble; hands gone. 10. Female figure with flowing hair; hands gone. 11. Female figure, wimple round head, in left hand holds a vessel, right hand is on the edge of the vessel, the fingers dipping in. 12. Female figure,* hood over head, holds in right hand the foot of a chalice, and with her left the fold of her dress in front. 13. Tall male figure, bearded, holding closed book; in good preservation. 14. Male figure, bearded; hands gone. 15. _Buttress._ Male figure, bearded, with flowing hair; hands gone. 16. _Buttress._ Male figure, bearded, holding open book in left hand; upper part moulding away. 17. Deacon* in dalmatic, alb, amice, holding open book in left hand, right hand gone; drapery is wonderfully fine. (This and the remaining figures are tonsured and shaven.) 18. Deacon,* a beautiful figure, (apparently in dalmatic), amice; left hand gone. 19. Deacon, in girded alb, ends of girdle hanging down, wears the folded chasuble (very rare in art) over left shoulder, maniple; holds book with both hands. _Missing._ 20. _Buttress._ Deacon, in girded alb, amice, stole over left shoulder, book in left hand. Besides ends of girdle, end of a stole is visible on left side, as if a crossed stole had first been carved and this end forgotten. 21. _Buttress._ Deacon,* stole worn over left shoulder, maniple, but no amice and no girdle; wears instead of alb a surplice with full sleeves--an unusual combination. SECOND TIER.--The next tier (22-53) consists of thirty-two quatrefoils, some of which are now empty. The rest contain half-length figures of angels, holding crowns, mitres, scrolls, or drapery in their hands. THIRD TIER.--This, which we may call the Bible Tier, consists of forty-eight quatrefoil
