dow [Plate XIII.] (with a recess, serving as a tabernacle or relic shrine) is an addition of Grandisson's period. The westernmost bays of the chapel are open to the side chantries with very good effect; and the piers here differ from any others in the cathedral. They are quatrefoil; and are probably Marshall's piers, altered in their mouldings to bring them into conformity with the new work of Quivil.

The visitor should regard this slab with no little interest, if he believes, as is most probable, that Bishop Quivil was the author of the plan of the cathedral as it now appears. A deed of 1299 states that Quivil "ante altare beatæ Mariæ humatum quiescit ; but this slab had been removed to the west end of the nave, and was restored to its original position in 1820, when the cross and letters were re-cut. Placed in the recesses of the arcade on the south side are the effigies of (most probably) Bishop BARTHOLOMEUS ISCANUS [Plate XII.], died 1184,—in low relief; the face is bearded, and has what seems to be twisted or plaited mustachios: the mitre is high-peaked, like a Norman helmet: a winged monster at the feet is impaled with the episcopal staff: the figure rests under a pointed arch, at the angles of which are censing angels: the stone is Purbeck (see APPENDIX, Note XII.) ;and of Bishop SIMON OF APULIA [Plate XIV.] died 1223. The design generally resembles that of the
