In the chapter on Chichester in Winkles's "Cathedrals" a view in the "presbytery," dated 1836, shows the reredos still in its place where it remained till after the fall of the spire. There are in existence two drawings of considerable interest. The latter was taken from a water-colour drawing supposed to have been made by Carter, an architect of Winchester. Walcott, p. 16. "Early Statutes."
In Winkles's essay on Chichester, in his "Cathedrals of England," published between 1830 and 1840, are many beautiful drawings of the fabric. There is one which shows the Arundel screen still in its original position with the organ above it; and in another the complete design of the back of the reredos appears.
This time there were no wasps or rats, no earwigs and no nettles, but there were at least three water-spiders, several dragon-fly larvae which presently became dragon-flies, dazzling all Kent with their hovering sapphire bodies, and a nasty gelatinous, scummy growth that swelled over the pond margin, and sent its slimy green masses surging halfway up the garden path to Doctor Winkles's house.
