58 PAPERS, ETC. 
from 1435 to 1466; and is the same ecclesiastic, it will 
be remembered, that re-erected the chapel destroyed by 
the fall of the cliff, and that obtained the licence for the 
market and fairs in aid of the cost incurred thereby. This 
impression also is believed to be unique, and was ap- 
pended to a document of the period once in the possession 
of Sir W. C. Trevelyan, Bart., but which is now mis- 
laid and unable to be found. Happily a few casts were 
taken from it some years ago, one of which became the 
property of Mr. Laing, of Edinburgh. From this some 
others were taken, whereof‘that in my possession is the one 
which has furnished the artist with’'his model. Like its com- 
panion, it is in excellent condition, and, though smaller, has 
many points of general resemblance, as will be seen by 
comparison, The Virgin and Holy Child are here also 
under a canopy, and a kneeling Abbot below, on either 
side of whom is a shield, that on the right bearing the 
arms traditionally given to William de Romara the founder 
of the Abbey. The legend is 
9: vauid Jupner abbatis de clepua. 
Our series of Charters (some of them, I ought to add, 
popularly but not quite technically, so called) has brought 
us down to the year 1535. For our third division of docu- 
ments, comprising those which although not Charters are 
illustrative of our subject, it will of course be necessary 
to retrace our steps. 
Much information respecting the Abbey will be found in 
the volumes published at various times under the direction 
of the Record Commissioners, to which I need only refer my 
reader. Notices of lands, etc., for example, may be seen 
in Rot. Hundred. vol.i. p. 69 ; vol. ii. pp. 121, 134. Plac. 
de quo War. pp. 108, 167 ; Abbrev. Plac. p. 194 ; Calend.
