XXViii REPORT. 
flight into Egypt. The piscina has been, unfortunately, rather 
roughly repaired, and a basin provided without any drain. The 
two large candlesticks are remarkably good examples of late 
15th century brasswork, and I believe are the only old ones 
of the kind remaining in England. The eagle is said to have 
been found in cleaning one of the ponds at Newstead Abbey. 
It was sold to a dealer at Nottingham, and bought from him 
by Sir Richd. Kaye, one of the prebendaries, who presented it 
to the church in 1805. Inside the ball a parchment was found, 
which proved to be a general pardon forced upon the monks by 
Henry V. as a means of extracting money from them for the 
prosecution of his wars in France. To the Perpendicular period 
belong the three light windows in the nave, their date being 
about 1450. The Norman string course, both outside as well as 
in, has been cleverly dropped to allow for them. The great 
west window is of rather later date, 15th century, and is a very 
fine specimen of the kind, taking the place most likely of two 
rows of Norman windows. A similar change may be seen in the 
case of the west front of Lincoln Minster. Of Renaissance work, 
the only example in the church is the glass in the east windows— 
they were formerly in the Temple Church at Paris. Traces of the 
original round-headed windows, which they there filled, are clearly 
visible ; and indeed the tops and the lower parts of them are 
modern additions to make them fit in their present position. 
They were bought in 1818 and presented to the church by 
Mr. Gally Knight. In monuments the church is not very rich, 
but of those which do remain, the tomb of Archbishop Sandys 
deserves attention. It is now at the northern end of the north 
transept, but its proper place is on the north side of the 
sanctuary. It claims attention, not only because it is a good 
example of Renaissance work, but because the archbishop is 
represented in a vestment, although the date is 1588. The bells 
were all of them recast after the fire, by Ruddall, of Gloucester, 
in 1721. The organ has remains of the original work of Father 
Smith, the swell being added by Snetzler, in the last century. 
The plate belonging the church dates about 1625, but the stems
