GLAZING AND FURNITURE, 
Fragments of the glass and lead work of the windows have 
been found. The pieces are small, the glass is corroded, but 
enough remains to shew that the windows were of a variety of 
colours, and such as would be in keeping with, and enhance the 
effect of the rich architecture and sculptured decorations of the 
Church. 
It is a fortunate circumstance that a small part of the stalls of 
this Church has been preserved. In the “ Queer,” attached to 
the Parish Church of Terregles, erected in 1583 by John, Lord 
Herries, for a place of sepulture for himself and his family, is the 
piece of furniture referred to, long known as the “ Provost's 
Chair of Lincluden.” Any one acquainted with church furniture 
will not hesitate to pronounce this work to be part of the stalls 
of a pre-Reformation Church ; its architectonic style is in keep- 
ing with the Church of Lincluden ; and the common connection 
of the Terregles family with Lincluden and with the Mortuary 
Chapel at Terregles would account for the removal of the stalls to 
their present position in the Chapel. 
Two of the stalls are nearly complete, except that the back 
boards and canopies are wanting ; and there are parts of a third 
stall. The work is of oak. The seat boards turn up in the usual 
way, and have the usual carved miserere, allowed by the Church 
as a sort of rest for relief to the infirm during the long services 
that were required to be performed in a standing posture. The 
points of the elbows are carved, and the back framing rises in a 
series of buttresses and pinnacles, richly decorated with carved 
crockets and finials. Carved pieces of the canopies also remain, 
A unique circumstance came to light a few years ago respect- 
ing these remains. Captain Maxwell had undertaken the re- 
storation of the Mortuary Chapel, within which, against one of 
the walls, they stood. The stalls being turned round, 
on some of the remaining boards forming the back, were 
discovered traces of paintings, two in number, in tempera. 
The more complete one is upon two boards ; a third board, upon 
which a small part of it had extended, is wanting. This painting 
represents a female figure in a standing posture, the left arm 
crossed upon the right one, The features of the face are obliter- 
ated ; the face itself is oval, the hair is yellow and long, hanging 
down upon the shoulders. On the head is a crown with alter-
