was afterwards named “Cantaria Set: Salvatoris, 
Beat: Virginis, et omn: electorum Dei.” The marks 
of the niches on the back of this chapel bear out this 
dedication. The Canon of Wells identifies it as 
the chapel where the usual early mass was said, 
by the large marble slab, under which bishop 
Haselshawe lies buried, (just in front of it), but 
does not say it was bishop Bubwith’s building, 
which he probably would have done had bishop 
Bubwith built it; for bishop Bubwith was his 
_ patron. The third chantry of the H.C. which was 
the oldest, as I think, of the number, and the 
one which bishop Robert found there, was in 
the north transept—east side—inside the screen, 
near the door, leading to the chapter room, —juxta 
introitu ad domum capillariam.* It continued to 
the time of Henry VIII, as the Liber Ruber testi- 
fies, and was probably the mark of the original 
‘dedication of the church. On the north side 
were three or four other chantries, the sites of 
which I am unable quite to allot. The altar of St. 
Mary Magdalene (one of them) was in existence 
A.D. 1271 or even 1263, “ex parte Boreali chori.”} 
There was an altar of St. Mark, but whether that 
was so called, because the money was paid by 
the brothers of St. Mark, at Bristol], I cannot say. 
The situation of these two altars possibly might
