116 Notes on the Heraldry of Salisbury Cathedrail. 
The third monument to which I have to refer is that of Bishop 
Mitford in the first bay between the south choir aisle and the south- 
west transept, where, in accordance with directions which the 
bishop left in his will, his monument forms the north side of the 
chapel of St. Margaret. Richard Mitford was translated from 
Chichester to Sarum in 1396 (19 Rd. I1.), and he died here in 
1407 (8 Hen. IV.). His monument is canopied by a flattened 
Perpendicular arch, under which, on a sadly defaced altar-tomb, 
lies the figure of the bishop in full pontificals. In the east spandrel 
on the north side of the arch are the arms of the see of Saram— 
sure, the Blessed Virgin, standing, vested and crowned, holding on 
her right arm the infant Saviour, and in her left hand a sceptre, all or. 
In the west spandrel, on the same side, are the arms of Mitford— 
Barry of 4 indented, or, azure, or, sable. On the south side of the 
arch, in the west spandrel, are the arms of Henry IV., in whose 
reign the bishop died—France Modern and England quarterly (the 
change from France Ancient to France Modern had been made just 
two years earlier); and in the east spandrel a shield charged with 
Azure, a cross patonce between five martlets (with long beaks, but without 
legs) or, the arms attributed to Edward the Confessor, and borne 
by Richard II., who was reigning when, in 1390, Mitford was 
consecrated Bishop of Chichester. The moulding of the arch is 
decorated on both sides with a vigorously carved series of columbine 
flowers (one of the badges of Henry IV.) alternating with birds 
holding in their beaks scrolls inscribed with the motto “‘ Honor Deo 
et gloria.” I take these birds, notwithstanding their long beaks 
and legs, to be martlets, derived from the Confessor’s shield; so 
that, if my supposition is correct, this decorated moulding is allusive 
to the two kings in whose reign Mitford was bishop. 
The chantry of Bishop Edmund Audley, in the middle bay on 
the north side of the presbytery, is the next monument to claim 
our attention. This is a very elaborate edifice of Perpendicular ‘ 
work, built by the bishop himself in 1520 in honour of the 
Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, roofed with an elaborate and 
splendid fan-vaulting, and enclosing in its south side an altar-tomb 
in which he lies. This splendid monument is, for our present
