The font is of black marble, with a leaden basin. The
details of the architecture and costume in these sculp-
tures are particularly worth notice. The low mitre
should be observed; and the long sleeves and braided
hair of the ladies should be compared with the figure

on the west door of Rochester.

THE principal authorities for the Architectural History of Winchester Cathedral are Rudborne's Historia Major Wintoniensis ' and the Annales Ecclesia Wintoniensis,' both printed in the first volume of Wharton's Anglia Sacra.' Rudborne was a monk of Winchester, and his Historia' was compiled during the episcopate of Cardinal Beaufort. The Annales' were also compiled by a monk of the house, and end with the year 1277. The wills of Bishops Edingdon and William of Wykeham supply some important particulars with relation to the works of their time.

But the history of this cathedral has been so fully and admirably treated by the late Professor Willis, that it is necessary to refer to him as the principal authority for the determination of the dates of the various portions of the church, and for the method of their construction. His account, which is printed in the Winchester volume of the Archæological Institute (1845), has accordingly been followed, so far as was possible, in the present Handbook.
