Rh figures. One of the crozier heads is of Wykeham's time, and there are some original pieces in the canopy hoods. All the angels in the tracery lights are Price's work. There are fragments of the original glazing in the canopies, and in the smaller lights, and the original inscription Seraphyn remains in the lights A and B. The figures are those of angels.

The figures represented in the lower lights are a Pope, an Archbishop, St. John the Evangelist, another male saint, St. Catherine, and three female saints. The heads of three of the male figures are by Price, and St. Catherine's head is a copy of the head in light No. 5 of the next window; but, with these exceptions, the figures appear to be of Flemish workmanship.

Parts of the angels in the tracery lights arc original, but have been retouched. The original inscription, Troni, appears in the lights A and B. Some of the blue niche tapestry is old, and appears very cold in comparison with the modern blue. The smaller tracery lights are original.

Amongst the figures represented in the lower lights are a Pope, two Kings, a Bishop, and three female saints, one of which holds a cross, another a sword. These appear to be Flemish, and are more artistical than Price's. The male heads are entirely free from that vulgar air which is so lamentable in his work; they are also less wrinkled, and more fleshy. The female heads are delicate and pleasing, but, like the male heads, have too much an air of prettiness to suit the character of a monumental work. In point of execution, the work resembles Price's: about the same proportion of enamel colouring is used, and the same mode of shading is adopted; but the shadows are more delicate than his, and the colouring of the draperies is better in tone. At the bottom of the fight No. 8 is the inscription before referred to—''W. Price has fenestras reparavit, Ao. Dni.'' 1740.

Most of the figures in the tracery lights (simple angels) are original, but have been retouched. The greater part of
