431

Between 1445 and 1450 Prudde did much work at Eton College, both in the old Chapal and in the Hall (Willis Clark's ' Architec- tural History of Cambridge').

In 1447 we find him working at Green- wich Palace, both inserting new glass and repairing older work (see Hasted's' Kent') ; and in the same year he undertook " to glase all the windows in the New Chappell in Warwick " (the Beauchamp Chapel), which contract was duly carried out (see Dugdale's ' Antiquities of Warwickshire ').

Could any reader give me information concerning other work done by Prudde else- where ? Also any record of his death, or the appointment of his successor as " King's Glazier " ? JOHN D. LE CONTEUB.
