NOTES AND QUERIES. [ii s. XIL DEC. 4, 1915.

entry in the Accounts of 1444-5 perhaps indicates that this work was being then undertaken :

" Et in di. quarta calcis non laxate empta ad idem opus [a job foreign to this article] et pro posicione lapid. J. Fromond et paviment. vid." (' custus domorurn ' ).

Gunner suggested (loc. cit.) that we still have within the building some vestiges of the tomb in the quaint little figures to be seen on the west wall above the doorway .and below the window ; but the better opinion seems to be that these figures (which Gunner fully described) are part of the original decoration of that wall. They attract less attention than they deserve, partly because the visitor's eye, when turned towards them, is liable to be caught too quickly by the gaudy colours of the window .above them. This window, a gift made in 1854 by Sir William Erie, was the work of Thomas Willement (' D.N.B.' Ixi. 285), whose monogram occurs in one of the panes. His design and colouring may have been less unsuitable to the building while it was fitted up as a library. It became a chapel again in 1874-5.

9. In conclusion, though the matter has no great bearing upon the two points that I have sought to establish, I should like to bookbinding, a few words about an un- bound breviary which Fromond gave to the 'College, probably the book which he men- tioned in his will as " i antephonarium Tiovum non ligatum." An addition made After Heete's day to his Catalogue of College books in the ' Liber Albus ' describes this bequest as " i magnum portiforium ex
 * say, for the benefit of readers interested in

dono Johannis Fromond armigeri, 2 folio Spiritui sancto, cum elapsuHs de laton

deauratis cum armis eiusdem Johannis." The change in the outward appearance of the book is explained by the following extracts from the Bursars' rolls :

" Et in solut. pro Imposicione correctionum in i novo portiforio magno non ligato ex dono .Johannis Fromond, xxiiis. iiiid." (1439-40, 'custus capelle ').

" Et solutum Th. Bocbynder pro ligatura magni porteforii ex dono Johannis Fromond, xxs." (1441-2).

" Et solut. pro le Tawyng pellis cervine pro coopertura portiforii Johannis Fromond cum xxd. dupplicatura eiusdem cooperture, iiis. Et solut. Willelmo Goldsmyth pro ii Clapsulis et ii Bordones [studs: see ' Burdoun ' in ' N.E.D.'] de cupro deauratis pro eodem portiforio, xiis." (1442-3).
 * olutis pro v pellibus ovinis rubris emptis pro

" Et in solut. pro ii Tussewes emptis pro portiforio ex donacione Johannis Fromond, xi." (1443-4).

The book was presumably intended for use in the Chantry, and the work of binding it was therefore naturally done at the time when the building was receiving its final touches and preparations were being made for the formal acceptance by the College of Fromond's trusts. H. C.
