Under the arch on the north side of the presbytery, opposite Day's tomb, is that of Bishop Christopherson or Curteys , and against the wall of the aisle near the chapel of S. Catharine is a curious marble slab with some carving upon it.
S. Richard's shrine occupied the bay in the presbytery immediately behind the High Altar. It stood upon a platform which was approached on its eastern side by steps, and was enclosed by iron grilles. The platform was removed at the time of the general restoration in 1861-1867, and upon it used to stand also the tombs of Bishop Day and Bishop Christopherson or Curteys.
Soon after 1400 Abbot Curteys built a library, and it was under the care of the monk, John Boston, who, I think, is responsible for the press-marks, as he certainly is for the copious bibliographical notices which occurred in some of the books. However, in most cases they are backed up by the older inscription Liber S. Ædmundi regis et martiris.
