There are within it two piscinae and two aumbries at different levels, indicating, no doubt, an alteration of level in the altar itself during the period that this chantry was in use. An elaborate monument now stands under the eastern wall. In Mr. Spence's "Essay on the Abbey Church of Romsey" , this tomb is described as standing in the south ambulatory.
It is a small building having a low central tower without transepts. A small S. chantry projects from the nave. Features to be noted are: the Norm, doorway mentioned above, a little to the right of main entrance. The capitals are richly carved, and support an arch ornamented with deeply cut chevron and grotesque bird's beak mouldings.
At the border of every parish, all the ecclesiastics thereto appertaining, parochial, chantry, and monastic, turned out to meet the procession with their tapers; escorted it to the principal church; performed Mass there, if it were in the forenoon; and then accompanied the coffin to the other limit of their ground, and consigned it to the clerks of the next parish.
In the centre of the town of Mowbray teeming with its toiling thousands, there rose a building which might vie with many of the cathedrals of our land. Beautiful its solemn towers, its sculptured western front; beautiful its columned aisles and lofty nave; its sparkling shrine and delicate chantry; most beautiful the streaming glories of its vast orient light!
The altar occupies its old position and was restored as a memorial to Bishop Beauchamp . The Bishop's chantry was destroyed by Wyatt, who had shifted the altar to the extreme end of the Lady Chapel, if we may use the name usually given to the eastern extension of the Cathedral, but as the dedication of the whole building is to the Virgin, that part may have been called originally the Jesus, or Trinity Chapel.
In the S.E. corner of main building is a plain altar-tomb of Sir W. Hungerford and son . The font is said to have been brought from the church. At its foot is a slab with incised figure of a chantry priest of unknown identity. The parish church of St Leonard stands on the other side of the road on rising ground overlooking the ruins.
As it was not suitable that a man should be totally dependent on his wife, his allowance should be continued; but under present circumstances he must perceive that he and Lady Peacock could not be received at Chantry House.
Doctor Chantry did not wear his disfiguring horn spectacles when Annabel was near. He wrote a great deal of poetry while the blow of parting from her was hanging over him, and read it to me of mornings, deprecating my voiceless contempt. I would hear him quarreling with a servant in the hall; for the slightest variation in his comfort engendered rages in him that were laughable.
#The Record Room.# A chantry founded by Archbishop Zouch, but rebuilt in 1396, during the erection of the present choir, is now utilised as the record room, and contains the fabric rolls, and other documents concerning the building and constitution of the minster. The vestry and treasury date from the middle of the fourteenth century; like the record room they lie to the south of the choir.
Or yes, I am. I hate to have a man inconsistent." "It's inconsistent for any one to kill himself. But it's frequently done." Havelock, hemming and hawing like this, was more nearly a bore than Chantry had ever known him. "Not for Ferguson." "Oh, well, never mind Ferguson," Chantry yawned. "Tell me some anecdote out of your tapestried past." "I won't." Havelock dug his heel in harder.
