AVING been appointed by the dean and canons 
 of Windsor to execute the stained glass, and 
 the painted decorations that were thought 
 necessary for the greater embellishment of the 
 collegiate chapel of St. George, which were continued sub- 
 sequently to some considerable extent; and great advantage 
 having been afforded by the scaffolding for the close exami- 
 nation of the heraldic devices, so profusely scattered over the 
 vaultings ; it has occurred to me that some account of the 
 restorations, and a detail of the heraldic ornaments, might be 
 deemed sufficiently interesting for publication, even by many 
 who, though not immediately connected with the establish- 
 ment, are attentive observers of the great progress now 
 making towards the return of our ecclesiastical edifices to 
 their pristine magnificence. 
 
 The enumeration of the heraldic devices in various parts 
 of the building, is placed in an Appendix, also a full account 
 of the recent alterations in the magnificent organ ; for this 
 I am indebted to Dr. Elvey, under whose judicious superin- 
 tendence those essential improvements have been effected.

THE COLLEGIATE CHAPEL OF 
 
 ST. GEORGE, WINDSOR. 
 
 THE WINDOWS OF THE CHOIR. 
 
 N giving an account of the recent works 
 in the order in which they were executed, 
 the stained glass of the clerestory windows 
 of the choir would occupy the first place : 
 but previous to a description of these, it may be 
 requisite to say a few words on the former state of 
 the windows generally in this part of the chapel. 
 We are shewn by an engraving in Ashmole’s 
 “ Institutions of the Order of the Garter,” that the 
 window over the altar, though resembling in great 
 measure that at the west end of the nave, was 
 less subdivided by the stone transoms. The openings 
 
6 
 
 COLLEGIATE CHAPEL 
 
 were of the same number horizontally, but only pre- 
 sented three divisions in the height between the sill 
 and the springing of the principal arch. In Ashmole’s 
 plate no painted glass is indicated, though it is most 
 probable from its important situation, that the whole 
 of this window was originally filled by it. 
 
 Among other alterations made in the chapel between 
 the years 1787 and 1790, the whole of the mullions 
 and tracery of this window were removed, and the 
 whole space filled by painted, not stained glass, repre- 
 senting an entire subject, the resurrection of our 
 blessed Lord. The original design was made expressly 
 for this purpose by Benjamin West, and for which, 
 according to Dallaway, he received one thousand five 
 hundred pounds. This was copied on large squares 
 of glass by Thomas Jervaise, assisted by his pupil 
 Forrest, and for which they were paid, according to 
 the same author, three thousand four hundred pounds. 
 However meritorious the composition and execution 
 of such a picture might be in itself, the very necessity 
 of removing so essential a feature as the elegant stone 
 work which constituted the original design, speaks 
 plainly for its inapplicability to such a purpose. It 
 has at length been admitted, that oil painting and 
 stained glass for windows are founded on totally 
 different principles, and that all attempts to assimilate

 them have only produced very inferior glass, without 
 retaining any of the good effects of an oil painting a . 
 
 It is quite evident that the projectors of this 
 experiment were not satisfied with the result of it. 
 The first step was to colour the surrounding frame 
 with a dark colour, to subdue its bright opposition 
 to the heavy masses of the picture, but this being 
 inadequate, two of the adjoining windows on each 
 side in the clerestory were solidly closed up, the 
 spaces between the mullions being filled by plates of 
 tin b with very indistinct heraldries painted on them. 
 That the transition from these to the bright light of 
 the clerestory windows generally might not be too 
 abrupt, the third window on each side was filled by 
 painted glass of the dingiest tone, the pattern of the 
 
 a On this point I cannot resist quoting the very pertinent remarks of an 
 eminent antiquary and artist, M. Daly : he judiciously observes, “ C’est pour 
 avoir oublie un instant sa nature essentielle, et pour avoir voulu produire les 
 effets de la peinture a l’huile, que la peinture sur verre s’est perdue ; et pour- 
 tant que d’admirables chefs-d’ceuvre n’avaient pas produit les peintres venders en 
 se renfermant dans les effets en rapport avec les moyens dont ils disposaient ! 
 Que la peinture a l’huile serait mal venue de vouloir remplacer dans nos eglises 
 les effets des vitraux de la fin du douzieme et du trezieme sihcle !” Revue 
 generate de 1 ’ Architecture, p. 489. Paris. 
 
 13 This fancy for imitating glass on tin had continued up to the time of the 
 recent alterations, and as no opportunity presented itself of placing the tin 
 plates within the legitimate openings of a window, they had been applied to 
 the stone panelling below, which produced in some measure the ridiculous 
 effect of the window being continued down to the very crown of the arches 
 which opened into the aisles.

 ornaments on the tin plates being continued. The 
 result was, that without being able to give much 
 additional effect to the altar window, the altar itself 
 became almost imperceptible on entering the choir, 
 and the steps in front extremely perilous to those 
 who approached it. Thus it remained until recently. 
 The closed windows in the clerestory have now been 
 opened, the dark glass has been placed in the two 
 openings immediately adjoining the east end, and 
 four of the following windows on each side have been 
 glazed in rich and powerful colours. The decora- 
 tions of these are formed by the arms 0 , crests, helmets, 
 and mantlings of those knights of the Order of the 
 Garter elected since the former alteration, each having 
 a scroll with the title beneath, the general ground 
 being quarried with (£>♦ ( Sanctus Geo?'gius.) The 
 arched parts of these windows bear the arms of the 
 patron saint, and of her majesty Victoria, with red 
 and white roses within the garter. Since the recent 
 alterations the painting immediately over the altar 
 table has become visible, and though bearing Walpole’s 
 heavy criticism, must be considered one of West’s best 
 works d . 
 
 c These commence with prince Edward, afterwards duke of Kent and 
 Strathern, and terminate at present with James-Brownlow-William, marquess 
 of Salisbury.

 THE WEST WINDOW OF THE NAVE. 
 
 The dangerous state in which the stone work of 
 this window had been for a considerable time, and 
 the great probability that the whole of the mullions, 
 and very likely part of the gable above, might sud- 
 denly fall, induced the Chapter to resolve on rebuild- 
 ing it, preserving accurately all its original form and 
 dimensions ; this has been effected in the most com- 
 plete manner, and on a better construction than that 
 on which it was originally executed. The glass occu- 
 pying the openings, was of the time of king Henry VII., 
 consisted partly of fifty-nine figures of saints, prophets, 
 kings, and knights, all of which had been removed 
 to this window from various parts of the chapel in 
 1774 by the Rev. Dr. Lockman, canon, who had 
 placed the figures on a ground of clear white glass ; 
 the remaining openings were filled by reticulated 
 patterns in common and glaring colours, placed also 
 on clear glass®. Still, with all its defects, this window, 
 particularly towards the time of sunset, had from its 
 
 before an altar of St. George. As these personages were all knights of the 
 Garter daring the reign of Henry VIII, and as that king is represented in the 
 group, it is most probably intended for a representation of the high altar of 
 the chapel of St. George at Windsor. King Charles II. at his restoration 
 gave costly hangings of cloth of gold and purple damask for the decoration 
 of St. George’s altar. 
 
 e The cost of this adaptation of the glass to the window was nearly 600I.

 great dimensions a very imposing and pleasing effect. 
 The removal of the glass being necessary previous 
 to the renewal of the stone work, it was thought 
 desirable to make some considerable alterations in 
 its arrangement. It was found that ten more of the 
 ancient figures still remained in the stores of the 
 chapter ; with these, and by the addition of six new 
 effigies, the glaziers’ patterns were excluded, and every 
 opening became then occupied by a whole length 
 figure. The plain ground of white was removed, and 
 superseded by ancient diaper patterns in a quiet tone 
 of drab ; rich canopies, columns, and bases were added 
 to each figure, and on a scroll which now runs through 
 the whole of the bases of the lowest compartments is 
 inscribed the prayer peculiar to the service in this 
 chapel : ®ob 0atic out gradou0 0oucmgn, anti all the 
 companion of the mo0t honourable anti noble SDrOer 
 
 Of the barter. The arched part of the window head 
 has been filled by royal badges on grounds of rich 
 colour, with four large compartments in the centre 
 containing the devices of king Edward III, king 
 Edward IV, king Henry VII, and queen Elizabeth ; 
 all of whom were particularly connected with the 
 architectural history of the chapel and castle of 
 Windsor f . 
 
 f The same kind of alteration that was carried oat in the altar window was 
 intended to have been done here ; the removal of all the mallions, and the 
 introduction of a large picture which West had designed expressly for this 
 
OF ST. GEORGE, WINDSOR.

 THE STONE WORK OF THE INTERIOR. 
 
 The whole of the stone work of the walls and 
 vaultings had been, as is too frequently the case in 
 many other sacred edifices, covered by repeated coats 
 of lime wash, which very effectually gave to the 
 whole surface a wearisome monotony of tint. By 
 great care and with considerable trouble all this 
 disfigurement has been completely removed, and the 
 native tints of the stone, which are pleasingly 
 varied, produce a warm and most satisfactory effect. 
 The cleansing process brought out evidences of rich 
 painting on some parts of the walls, which will be 
 mentioned hereafter, and on most of the bosses in 
 the nave and aisles. Three of the principal lines of 
 bosses in the nave, and the centre line in the transepts, 
 have been repainted in their proper colours : those in 
 the aisles of the choir have also been renewed. In 
 the vaultings of the choir itself, where no remains of 
 any previous painting was discovered, the whole of 
 the ornaments which cover the intersection of the 
 ribs have been fully emblazoned, and now very 
 
 purpose ; a representation of the crucifixion, including the two thieves, angels 
 flying above, and the heads and shoulders of Roman soldiers seen below. The 
 glass from this design had been considerably advanced by Forrest previous 
 to his decease :■ it remains at present in its unfinished state in the chapter 
 stores. With the approval of her majesty, the dean and canons have recently 
 presented this glass to the lord bishop of Calcutta, as an embellishment to his 
 cathedral church now in progress.

 successfully connect the vaulting with the richness of 
 the clerestory windows ; carried down to the floor by 
 the banners and helmets on the finials g , and by the 
 heraldic plates on the back of the several stalls. 
 
 Over the organ gallery, at the intersection of the 
 transepts, a collection of the armorial bearings of king 
 Henry VIII, and of the knights of the Garter of his 
 time, have been repainted. These, with the particulars 
 of the bosses, will be blazoned in the Appendix. 
 
 THE OAK WORK OF THE CHOIR. 
 
 The removal of all the adventitious colourings 
 from the stone work made the same process necessary 
 to the oak work in the choir. Repeated varnishings, 
 and a long accumulation of dirt, had rendered the 
 high beauty of the carvings nearly invisible. The 
 elegance and high finish of the several parts, which 
 
 g The banners and the other insignia of the knights above the stalls give a 
 peculiar richness to this magnificent choir. It were well if more attention 
 was paid to the details of these heraldic ornaments. The crests have no 
 resemblance to the ancient “ cimier” which surmounted the lielmes of the 
 ancient knights ; in those, the union of the two was firm and complete ; 
 vide Shaw’s Dresses and Decorations, vol. ii. N os . 66. 80. In these modern 
 representations, the wreaths or coronets, instead of encompassing the upper 
 part of the helmet, are so straight and so thin, that the crests have more the 
 appearance of vanes, which some unlucky current of wind has turned in the 
 wrong direction ; for generally the helmets face one way, the crests another.

 are quite extraordinary, particularly in the compart- 
 ments at the western end on each side, containing 
 numerous whole length figures of saints under cano- 
 pies, are now fully brought out; and the lightened 
 colour of the oak adds considerably to the general 
 brightness of the choir h . 
 
 The royal closet on the north side of the altar had 
 been painted to represent stone, though the style of its 
 sculpture clearly shewed that the material was wood. 
 This has now been restored to its original state, and 
 its form and carvings, which are in a style of which 
 we have few remains, excepting the organ screen in 
 King’s College Chapel at Cambridge, have resumed 
 their original sharpness and delicacy. The oil painting 
 having so deeply penetrated the grain of the oak that 
 the original tint could not be recovered, it became 
 necessary to add some colour and gilding to relieve the 
 heaviness of so large a mass of dark colour : this has 
 been effected by emblazoning on the lower panels the 
 
 h The severe measures required to clean thoroughly the wood work of the 
 stalls made it necessary to take down the stall plates of the knights ; which 
 might otherwise have been irreparably injured. But a careful diagram having 
 been made of their position before removal, they were replaced with the most 
 rigid exactitude. The early specimens of these stall plates, which were 
 coloured in a permanent manner by enamel, are extremely curious, and form 
 a very instructive series of examples of heraldic drawing and composition ; the 
 modern plates suffer exceedingly by contrast with these, both as to style and 
 material.

 with his arms and motto, “ Dieu et mon droit the 
 pomegranate and bundle of arms, with the arms of 
 queen Katharine of Arragon, and her motto, “ Tanta

 of the closet, the antelope, greyhound, lion, and 
 dragon, have been emblazoned, and the smaller orna- 
 ments “ parcel-gilt.” 
 
 The various Chantries within the chapel of St. 
 George have severally partaken of the general repair.

 In the Ros Chantry 1 , forming the north transept, 
 the monument and effigies of George Manners lord 
 Ros and of his wife Anne St. Leger, niece to king 
 Edward IV, have been repaired at the expense of 
 his grace the duke of Rutland, K. G. The effigy 
 of the male figure rests his feet against an unicorn, 
 his crest a peacock ; both derived from the family of 
 Ros ; at the feet of the lady are two small dogs ; at 
 the head and foot of the monument are three shields, 
 the centre one being on the dexter side, quarterly 
 1 and 4 Or, two bars Azure, a chief Gules : Manners. 
 
 1 Sir Thomas Seynt Leger, who had married Anne, sister of king Edward 
 IV, and widow of Henry Iloland duke of Exeter, appointed obiits to be said 
 for various relatives in this chantry. A brass plate with the kneeling effigies 
 of himself and wife yet remains against the north wall.

 The Hastings Chantry k . Four early paintings of 
 considerable merit, which stand on the south side 
 of this chantry and refer to the history of St. Stephen, 
 have been carefully cleaned, and the inscription 
 restored. The ground of the vaulting has been 
 newly coloured. 
 
 The tomb of king Edward IV. On the altar side, 
 the armorial bearings of this monarch and the in- 
 scription have been emblazoned. The elaborate iron 
 work 1 , said to have been executed by the celebrated 
 Quintin Matsys, has been cleaned and repaired.

 1 Until the alterations by king George III, this screen of iron stood on the 
 aisle side of this arch, which was then open. It is probable that it formed 
 originally one side of the Feretory of St. George, in which the numerous relics 
 collected here were shewn to the devotees, secure from profanation or ab- 
 straction, and might perhaps have served also for the Easter sepulchre.

 In the Lincoln Chantry, at the east end of the south 
 aisle, the fine monument, and the recumbent figures 
 of Edward Clinton, earl of Lincoln, K. G., lord high 
 admiral of England in the reign of Elizabeth, and of 
 his countess Elizabeth, daughter of the earl of Kildare, 
 have been restored at the expence of his grace the 
 duke of Newcastle, K. G. At the feet of the earl is a 
 greyhound collared and lined ; at the feet of the 
 countess a monkey. On the wall opposite to the head 
 of the tomb is an heraldic compartment ; the arms 
 within a garter being quarterly, 1 and 4 Argent, six 
 cross croslets, three, two, and one Sable ; on a chief 
 Azure two mullets Or, pierced Gules. Clinton. C Z and

 and Say, quartered : impaling Argent a saltire Gules, 
 Fitzgerald. The other shields on the sides bear the 
 male and female arms separately. 
 
 The ancient badge of Clinton, derived from the 
 arms, was a mullet Or, pierced Gules. On the knee 
 piece of the earl’s armour is an anchor, cabled, being 
 his official badge as lord high admiral.

 The Oxenbridge Chantry" 1 . On the north side, 
 opposite to the entrance of this chantry, are four 
 subjects from the life of St.John the Baptist painted 
 on panel. These have been carefully cleaned and 
 repaired, and the heraldic ornaments on the exterior 
 fully emblazoned. They present the full armorial 
 bearings of king Henry VII, the arms of St. Edward 
 the Confessor, of St. George, and of Oxenbridge, Argent, 
 a lion rampant Gules, within a bordure Vert. On the 
 spandrils of the entrance door the name of Oxen- 
 bridge is represented by an ox, the letter N, and a 
 bridge. 
 
 The Chantry of Oliver King. In this chantry the 
 removal of the modern colouring on the walls exposed 
 considerable remains of the original painting, to a suf- 
 ficient extent for a perfect guidance to its restoration 
 at some future period : but unless the modern tablets 
 now affixed to the walls were removed, the effect 
 would be but unsatisfactory. The walls have been 
 divided into compartments of white and blue, by 
 perpendicular and diagonal lines, on which appears 
 a hand issuant from clouds, and holding a scroll 
 inscribed “ De sursum ut discam beneath this a

 richly bound volume, partly open, to which a chain 
 is attached. At intervals there appears to have been 
 something like a piece of drapery tied in a peculiar 
 knot. On the exterior of the entrance door is carved 
 a similar device to that painted on the wall ; it stands 
 thus : — A hand from clouds , IDC 0UC0U 00t, a chained 
 book, tit tU0Ca : illustrating evidently that passage in 
 St. Paul's First Epistle to Timothy, ch. iii. ver. 16. n 
 
 The vaulting of the aisle in front of this chantry 
 had been formerly painted, remains of which were 
 evident after the late repair. His arms, Argent a fess 
 engrailed Vert between two ducal coronets Sable, are 
 sculptured and painted on the key stone and carved 
 in oak on the entrance door. 
 
 Opposite to this chantry, on the south side of the 
 aisle, is a large compartment of oak, divided into four 
 long panels, on which are painted the whole length 
 effigies of Edward prince of Wales, son of king 
 Henry VI, of king Edward IV, of his son Edward V, 
 and of king Henry VII °. Their several arms and

 supporters are placed beneath the figures ; the grounds 
 are divided quarry fashion, charged with their badges

 arranged exactly in the manner of a stained glass

 The Somerset Chantry. This chantry is situate at 
 the extreme west end of the south aisle ; in the centre 
 stands the monument of sir Charles Somerset earl of 
 Worcester, K. G., with his effigy, and that of his first 
 wife Elizabeth, the daughter and heir of William 
 Herbert, earl of Huntington ; the tomb has armorial 
 bearings on the sides and at the foot, and is en-

 the stone screen which formerly enclosed the Urswick chantry at the north- 
 west corner of the nave, now occupied by the extraordinary monument erected 
 by a very general subscription throughout the kingdom of unknown amount, 
 to the memory of the lamented princess Charlotte. The restoration of this 
 screen to its original position would be desirable in many respects. This 
 screen bears over the gate a large rose charged with a portcullis, and sup- 
 ported by a dragon and greyhound : the arms of Urswick are placed on the 
 spandrils and on the iron work.

 thoroughly cleaned and repaired, and the effigies 
 restored. The other monuments of the family, 
 though costly, are a sad incumbrance to the chantry, 
 which is of very limited dimensions, have also been 
 cleaned and repaired. The windows have been filled 
 with stained glass, containing the arms and alliances 
 of the persons buried in the vault beneath 1 ; and the 
 original painting of the walls and vaulting restored to 
 its original state. The recent cleaning having removed 
 all the modern applications, so much was evident of 
 the ancient decorations, that it became a very easy 
 matter to give to every part its original colouring. 
 This consisted in variously formed divisions of red 
 and blue, the livery colours of the family, powdered 
 with heraldic badges. In the floor have been inserted 
 some ancient tiles of various patterns from the abbey 
 church of St. Mary at Tintern. The whole cost of 
 this extensive restoration was defrayed by his grace 
 the present duke of Beaufort, K. G. 
 
 The brass lectern which had been long disused, 
 and had been kept in its imperfect state within the 
 chapter library, has had all its deficient parts supplied 
 and the whole thoroughly cleaned and repolished, at 
 the expence of the Hon. and Rev. Henry Cockayne

 Cust, canon. It now forms a conspicuous and satis- 
 factory object in the centre of the choir 8 . 
 
 The largest pipes of the organ, which had been 
 painted dark brown, have recently been gilt, and 
 emblazoned with the greyhound, dragon, rose, and 
 portcullis, all badges of the house of Tudor; and with 
 foliage ornaments and scrolls, inscribed “ Sit Deo 
 honor et gloria.” The great mechanical improve- 
 ments in the instrument, to which her majesty was 
 graciously pleased to contribute the sum of one 
 hundred and fifty pounds, will be enumerated in 
 the Appendix 1 . 
 
 s Ashmole gives a particular account of the ceremonial at the offering of 
 plate for the use of the altar in 1638, 1639. Among other furniture which he 
 mentions as belonging to the choir in 1642, is ‘‘the great brass desk in the 
 middle of the chapel, with the Bible in two volumes, on each side fairly bound 
 and embossed.” Instit. of Ord. of the Garter, pp. 492-496. 
 
 t The present screen to the choir beneath the organ, executed in cement 
 from a design by Evelyn, may be cited as one of the best works of its time. 
 The altar, which was also from his design, is not quite so creditable. A tablet 
 placed in the Bray chantry is thus inscribed : “ Near this place lie the remains 
 of Mr. Henry Evelyn, architect, F.A. S., from whose designs, and under whose 
 superintendence, this chapel was repaired and beautified by command of his 
 majesty king George III; he died the 10th of Dec. 1815, aged 86 years.” 
 The screen which formerly stood under the organ was of oak ; it is shewn 
 in more than one view in Ashmole’s book, and had on the west side two 
 enclosed seats, in which the royal family were seated when they attended the 
 sermon ; which was delivered from a pulpit placed at the first column on the 
 south side of the nave.

 Many other works of minor importance, although 
 contributing much to the general good effect, have been 
 carried out, but these it may be hardly necessary to 
 enumerate here. As a whole it must stand as a proof 
 of the great taste with which the Chapter have applied 
 their somewhat limited and unaided means. It may 
 be conceded that some desirable alterations yet remain 
 to be done, but so much has already been achieved 
 satisfactorily, that there is no doubt that these will 
 be ultimately effected.

 In early life he held the situation of receiver general to Margaret, countess of Rich-

 He succeeded bishop Beauchamp as surveyor of the works at St. George’s chapel. 
 It will be observed how profusely his arms and device were scattered over the nave 
 and transepts. He was buried in the south transept, called generally the Bray 
 chantry, and his armorial bearings, surrounded by the Garter, are sculptured on the 
 screen of that and of the opposite transept. His portrait yet remains in the stained 
 glass of Malvern Abbey church.

 d During the process of cleaning the vaultings of this aisle, some imperfect 
 remains of painting were discovered. King Henry VIII. in his will directed that the 
 tomhs and altars of king Henry VI, and also of king Edward IV, “ our great uncle 
 and grandfather,” should he made more princely. A very curious painting now in 
 the possession of the dean of Windsor, which was presented to him by the widow 
 of Mr. Charles Jarman, one of the poor knights, who died 1812, aged 71, shews the 
 full extent of the decoration, and represents the particular ornaments which were in- 
 troduced. The general ground of the vaulting, according to the drawing, was blue, 
 on which were interspersed various badges used by king Henry : the sprig of 
 broom ; the Lancastrian rose ; the inflamed beacon ; the ostrich feather ; the star or 
 sun within a crescent ; the sun’s rays rising from a cloud : and in addition to these, 
 an eagle’s leg erased a la quise Sable (for Brugerak en Guienne); an eagle displayed 
 Gules, armed Azure, on a square of gold (for Pevensey) ; a cinqfoil Ermine (for 
 Leicester) ; and a peacock in pride Or. Some hollow parts of the mouldings were 
 filled by square divisions, in which were alternated the arms of France and England. 
 The whole was surrounded by a broad margin of blue, on which were painted 
 several royal “ bestes,” the white antelope, the white hart, and the white swan, each 
 ducally collared and chained Or ; these are frequently repeated, as well as a device 
 of the broken mast of a ship Or, from the yard of which floats a sail Argent, 
 inscribed diagonally with a motto which appears to have been “ En dieu, en dieu,” 
 the last two words are, however, very imperfect. This was one of the numerous 
 devices used by Rene d’ Anjou, the father of Henry’s queen. It is represented on a 
 large seal used by him, but on an impression preserved in the archives of Lille, the 
 two first words only of the motto on the sail are clearly visible. On a seal belonging 
 to Rene, in Oliv. Uredius La Maison de Flandre, pi. CV, the words “en dieue” are 
 only inscribed once on each sail. In our early heraldic manuscripts “ the ship-mast 
 with the top and sayle downe” is often mentioned among the royal badges as be- 
 longing to Anjou. The words “ en dieu” were no doubt selected from their simi- 
 larity in sound to “ An-jou and the war cry of king Rene, “ Montjoye Anjou,” 
 may be read “ Mon joie en Dieu.”

 ported on the dexter by a dragon, and on the sinister by a 
 greyhound. King Henry VII. 
 
 8. A cross erect, between the kneeling figures of a king and 
 a bishop ; these have been supposed to represent king 
 Edward IV, and Richard Beauchamp, bishop of Salisbury ; 
 perhaps from being between the monument of that bishop, 
 and the recess in which he had placed a breviary for the 
 “ preestes and ministers of Goddis church, and for all othir 
 that lysten to sey therby tlier devocyon.” This bishop was 
 appointed by king Edward IV. surveyor of the works at 
 their commencement.

 an early period by this family, vide Herald. Notes of Canterbury Cathed. p. 84, also 
 the note to arms of the earl of Northumberland over the organ gallery.

 bendlet sinister Argent ; impaling Herbert, per pale Gules and Azure three lions 
 rampant, two and one Argent. See an account of the Somerset chantry.

 no peculiar badge. The stall plate remains on the prince’s side, having for the crest, 
 an ape proper, collared and chained Or. 
 
 s This stall plate remains on the prince’s side. The arms are those of Brandon 
 only, the lion being differenced by a mullet Sable. The crest exactly resembles the

 rose and a wing, with the date 1498, and the same is found at Enfield : he supposes 
 from various circumstances, that it was the badge of sir Thomas Lovell. “ Dieu 
 soit loue” appears to have been his motto. See an account of his funeral, Lyson’s 
 Environs, ii. p. 193. On his stall plate the crest is a peacock’s tail spread, proper. 
 He had probably assumed this crest from having married Isabel, sister and co-heir 
 of Edward lord ltos of Hamlake. 
 
 y This badge is evidently derived from the arms of Vere. On the stall plate 
 remaining on the prince’s side the arms are quarterly Vere and Howard. The crest 
 on a chapeau, a boar Azure armed &c. Or. 
 
 '■ This is derived from the arms of Mowbray : that family had formerly used the

 APPENDIX. 
 
 THE ORGAN. 
 
 This instrument, of exquisite tone and great power, was 
 built by Green in the year 1790 : and though in daily use, 
 had received but little repair, and no alteration, from that 
 period up to 1835. In this year, however, several additions 
 were made to it, by the command, and at the private expense 
 of his late majesty William IV ; consisting, amongst others, 
 of the extension of the swell to tenor C, and the addition of 
 double diapason pedal pipes. But it has been during the 
 past year that this instrument has received the greatest im- 
 provements, and become, under the hands of Messrs. Gray 
 and Davison of London, fully worthy of the beautiful chapel 
 in which it stands. The swell organ now extends to FF, 
 and six new stops added to it ; sesquialtra, fifteenth, corno- 
 pean, clarion, hautboy, and double diapason. The swell of 
 this organ is probably the most perfect in the kingdom. The 
 unusual thickness of the box, and the improved principle of 
 the shutters, enable the organist, from a scarcely audible 
 sound, to arrive at the full swell by the most gradual 
 increase ; an effect not to be attained by the swell as usually 
 constructed. 
 
 The choir organ has also been greatly improved by the 
 introduction of a new stop, the keraulophon ; the recent 
 discovery of Mr. Gray. This beautiful stop, whilst it re- 
 sembles the reed stop in its tone, has this great advantage, 
 
APPENDIX. 
 
 51 
 
 that it is not subject, like it, to be out of tune : an advantage 
 of immense value in a solo stop, and more especially in one 
 so admirably suited as the keraulophon is for an accom- 
 paniment to the voice. 
 
 Great improvements have also been made to the pedals, 
 which now extend to F ; whilst, by the addition of two 
 octaves of unison pedal pipes, the power of the double diapason 
 is greatly increased, and a beautiful and effective light accom- 
 paniment to the swell and choir organs obtained. Such 
 indeed is the compass of the pedal, that the difficult fugues 
 of the great Sebastian Bach can now be executed with ease. 
 
 To the great organ new reed stops have also been added ; 
 and the large wooden false pipes, which formerly were placed 
 on the exterior of the organ case, have been removed, and 
 metal pipes of the lower octave of the open diapason sub- 
 stituted in their room.

 instrument, 37 in number.
