PAINTED GLASS IN WELLS CATHEDRAL. 129 
period ; as, however, in a shield of the royal arms those of 
France are emblazoned with those of England, it may be 
concluded that it was executed after the 10th year of King 
Edward III, A.nD. 1337. 
Of the Perpendicular style, there is little glass left in 
Wells Cathedral. The best earlier specimens are found in 
the south transept, where there are some elegant figures 
and some ernamental quarries, and in the clerestory win- 
dow next the central tower on the north side of the nave. 
In this last position there are two figures, male and female, 
crowned. Later specimens of Perpendicular glass may be 
found in the choir-aisles; the best of these represent the 
arms of England, and the badge of a couching stag. In 
the west window of the chapel of St. John, near the tomb 
of Deans Gunthorpe and Jenkyns, are some curious late Per- 
pendicular quarries. Some of these display plants, others 
birds—such as eagles, ostriches, cocks, hens. One of the 
cocks is erowing, and holds a label, inscribed MBemento, 
in black letter characters—in allusion, no doubt, to St. 
Peter, who remembered his Lord’s words when the cock 
crew. In the windows of the Cathedral library there is a 
considerable quantity of glass of this period. In them 
the arms of Bishop Bubwith (a fess, engrailed, between 
three groups of conjoined holly-leaves, four in each) alter- 
nate with the arms of England ; each shield is surrounded 
with an elegant pattern. The remainder of each window 
is filled with quarries, on each of which is a plant of uni- 
forn type throughout. This series of windows supplies an 
excellent example for modern imitation, and for introduction 
in domestic buildings. 
Of the Cinque Cento style there is some foreign glass 
in the central lancet at the west end of the nave. 
Of the Intermediate style there are various shields of
