Serpent, and Moses. The Serpent tempting Eve is twin- 
ing round a tree, and has a human face. Moses is depieted 
with horns, according to the old belief, combatted by Sir 
Thomas Browne of Norwich, in his quaint treatise on 
Vulgar Errors. In the lower part of the side windows of 
this chapel, little, beside some beautiful canopies, remains 
in situ ; in the tracery, however, some curious mitred heads 
and some elegant leaf-patterns still preserve their original 
situation. The windows of the east ends of the north 
and south choir-aisles, those, viz., next the ladye-chapel, 
are a jumble of broken pieces of glass from various places, 
but some of these are of value and interest. In the tracery 
of each of the two windows adjacent on the north and 
south sides, are some heads of Saints and Bishops, and a 
figure of our Lord seated. The tracery of three windows 
of the north aisle of the choir contains Decorated glass, 
which is as curious as it is beautiful. In two of these are 
Saints, (SS. Michael and John Baptist?) surrounded with 
an intricate pattern of conventional foliage. In the third 
is depieted the Crucifixion, with Saint John and the Vir- 
gin Mary. In this last design a great deal of light green 
glass is used, with very happy effect. To judge from the 
mutilated relics which still remain, the windows of the 
chapter-house must once have presented a truly glorious 
appearance. Now the upper part of the.lights and the 
tracery alone possess any part of the beautiful ornament 
with which they were once adorned. The patterns are de- 
signed in red and white ; and a few medallions containing 
figures still remain ; but these last are much broken and 
sadly defaced. The chapter-house is commonly supposed 
to have been built by Bishop William de la Marchia, who 
was elected to the see in 1293, and died in 1302. The 
date of the glass is therefore subsequent to the latter
