and pointing out some judicious works of restoration which 

 he himself had instituted. Much interest was manifested in 

 the semi-effigies in the walls of the south aisles, and also in 

 the tomb of Sir John Stanley, son of Sir Humphrey Stanley. 

 Sir Humphrey Stanley had a dispute with the Chapter about 

 the water supply from his lands at Pipe to the Cathedral 

 precincts ; and the quarrel is supposed to have been inherited 

 by the son, who was only permitted to be buried at the 

 Cathedral on condition of his effigy bearing marks of penance, 

 the said marks being that his body was represented as naked 

 to the waist. The next halt was made at the tomb of Bishop 

 Langton. a.d., 1322, who was a great benefactor to the 

 cathedral. The prelate lent a large sum of money to Edward 

 II., to enable that monarch to carry on his Scotch war ; he 

 had some difficulty in getting his money back, but in the 

 end he left a considerable sum in order that various works in 

 the Cathedral might be carried out after his death. After 

 a few remarks on other memorials and tombs, the Dean 

 pointed out the Minstrelsy, which was supposed to have been 

 used for the accommodation of the instrumentalists who played 

 during the church processions. The little building within was 

 supposed to have been a sacristy, but it was now used as a 

 consistory court. The site of the memorial to Archdeacon 

 Moore (Stafford), the effigy of Dean Howard, and the tomb 

 of Bishop Hacket brought the visitors to Chantrey's well-known 

 chef d'osuvre. Proceeding to the Lady Chapel, an examination 

 was made of the unique stained glass which Sir Brooke Boothby 

 brought from Herckenrode in the beginning of this century, 

 and the value of which is now estimated at ,£12,000. An 

 unsightly canopy which hid the lower part of the east window 

 has been removed, and some other alterations at the east end 

 made it necessary to put in some stained glass to match the 

 old glass. This was accomplished for the Dean and Chapter 

 by Messrs. Burlison and Grylls, in such a manner as to draw 

 forth the warmest encomium from Sir Gilbert Scott, who had 

 visited the spot without perceiving it. Whilst the visitors 

 were in the Lady Chapel the position of the proposed memorial
