104 ous sculpture which appears in the centre of the western front, representing the Resurrection, are more properly those of the succeeding reign. The long shield, which was in fashion in earlier times, had given place to the small shield of a form approaching to an equilateral triangle, as early as the reign of Edward I., but the pointed basinet, with the camail appended to it, the short hauberk, and close fitting jupon, worn with demi-brassarts, vantbraces, and greaves of plate, are in accordance with the fashions of a somewhat later period than that which has been assigned by Messrs. Buckler as the probable date of the chapel. Upon the evidence of costume we should be inclined to consider this sculpture as a work of the later half of the fourteenth century, and reign of Edward III.
