A wooden limb was carved, and the workman showed such accuracy in duplicating the stone leg that the Knight was adorned with a pair of garters for many years until Lord Saye and Sele, Canon Residentiary, presented the Cathedral with a new alabaster leg, and the wooden one was banished to a shelf in the library.

Continuing an examination of the north side of the cathedral one notices the buttresses of the north-east transept, the Stanbury Chapel, the windows, parapet, and roof of the aisle, the clerestory windows with arcade dressings to the walls, and the modern parapet above the whole.

Fergusson remarks: "Nowhere on the Continent are such combinations to be found as the Five Sisters at York, the east end of Ely, or such a group as that which terminates the east end of Hereford." Of the beauties and interesting features which were developed by the clearing of the Lady Chapel by Mr. Cottingham, Dean Merewether wrote:— Photochrom Co., Ld., Photo.
The remains of an ancient fireplace may be noticed on the west side of the south transept. They consist of a rectangular recess with chimney vault behind. This was doubtless cut away when the Perpendicular window was placed above on this side. From this transept a beautiful side view is obtained of the lantern arches. Photochrom Co., Ld., Photo.
His family belonged to this county, although he himself was born in Oxfordshire. There is also a monument to Philips in Poets’ Corner, Westminster Abbey. He died in 1708, at the early age of 32. Photochrom Co., Ld., Photo. The next monument in the north transept is the effigy of Bishop Thomas Charlton, treasurer of England, 1329.
In the area of the Bishop’s Cloister was formerly a preaching cross, which fell into a decayed state during the latter part of the last century. Beneath it was a dome of masonry which closed the aperture to a well of considerable depth, which had been formed with great exactness. This well still exists beneath a plain square stone.

The central arch is larger and higher than the others, is gabled and surmounted by a richly jewelled cross. This forms the entrance, and on either side, to a height of 4 feet, the lower part of the arches are filled with tracery in panels. The spandrels between the heads of the arches are enriched with elaborate ornament in flowing outline. Photochrom Co., Ld., Photo.
A flight of twenty steps leads down to the crypt, which is now light and dry, although previous to Dean Merewether’s excavations it was utterly neglected and nearly choked up with rubbish. There is another approach to it from the interior of the church. Photochrom Co., Ld., Photo. It is 50 feet in length, and consists of a nave and aisles marked out by undecorated columns.
It is covered with a profusion of ball-flower ornament, which, except in the south nave aisle of Gloucester Cathedral, is nowhere else so freely used. Photochrom Co., Ld., Photo.
