78 PAPERS, ETC. 
no doubt wanted! Perhaps I may as well mention 
here, two circumstances connected with this part of 
the building,—1st, on the South side, the crockets on 
the new clerestory windows and on the ridge of the 
lady chapel transept gable, are fleurs de lis—fur- 
ther, there are fleurs de lis sculptured and standing 
out boldly from the slopes outside these same win- 
dows, on both north and south sides. Now, on the 
tomb which the late dean restored in the Lady 
Chapel, though there are no armorial bearings, the 
ground on which the Agnus Dei is painted, is 
powdered with ‚fleurs de lis. I conceive this to be 
the tomb of one John Marcel, a canon of Wells, 
and think the fleurs de lis was a favorite emblem 
with him. Hein the year 1341,* by a document 
p- 286, Lib. Alb. ordained a chantry in that part of 
the Lady Chapel, viz. the Chapel of St. Catharine 
and all Virgins, where he expressly states his late 
bishop. (Drokensford) lies buried. He was from 
this document evidently a friend of bishop Dro- 
kensford and wished to lie near him in death. 
May we not reasonably conclude he had taken a 
great interest in his buildings? (perhaps he had 
given largely to their aid,) and he left the fleurs de 
lis (not his name) as the only visible record 
of his liberality or his identity. But another 
thing, —if we look at the tomb of bishop Drokens- 
ford, we shall see on it, four—of what the Herald’s 
College calls pastoral staves, “ azure” and “or,” 
* The Architecture of the tomb agrees with the date.
