nate fleurs-de-lis and short points. The inner garment is of a 
reddish brown colour, and the outer mantle, which is represented 
depending from the shoulders and arms in graceful folds, has a 
yellow border ornamented with lines and roundlets—probably the 
mantle itself has been blue—and the inner lining is white, repre- 
senting a fur. The cloak is shown secured about the neck by a 
yellow band, and a ring through which the band passes. * 
Of the second painting only a small portion remains. The 
head, and the hair, which is yellow, can be made out, but the 
face is obliterated. The cloak has been of a reddish brown 
colour with a yellow border. The left hand holds a cup, and the 
right one is represented pointing over it. 
There is little doubt that the female figure represents St. Mary, 
to whom the Church was dedicated ; and the other figure is a 
representation of St. John the Evangelist, as appears by the 
symbols. It will be observed that the symbols of St. John on 
this painting and on the sculptured stone slab, formerly referred 
to as part of the Rood Loft, are similar. 
THE PROVOST’S LODGING. 
The portion of the ruin known as the Provost’s Lodging 
extends northwards from the Sacristy. The basement consists of 
five vaulted cellars. The first floor appears to have contained a 
square apartment at the north end, and the remainder of the 
floor formed probably the Great Hall. The second floor contained 
a north room, and the space over the hall would be divided into 
several rooms. The north part of the building only was carried 
up a third floor, forming a square tower with crow-stepped gables. 
The entrance door opened upon the octagonal staircase, and the 
stair gave access to the several floors. One of the cellars was 
entered from the staircase, and the other four by outside doors in 
the west wall. The windows of the rooms have been principally 
in the east wall, and would overlook the well formed gardens, the 
scarped mound attached to the place, the meeting of the waters, 
and an extensive tract of country beyond. 
The octagonal Tower, most of the walls of the square Tower, 
and the greater part of the west wall extending between the square 
Tower and the Church existed in 1805. Now only the lower parts 
of the walls of the octagonal Tower, the Cellars, and the square 
Tower, to about half its height, with a piece of one corner of it 
of greater height, remain. The two cellars adjoining the
