THE CHURCH OF WOOTTON GLANVILLE. 213 



sword and belt are prominent objects ; but the writer in The 

 Gentleman's Magazine seems to have passed by the implement 

 dagger possibly, though it is not like one, nor on the usual side 

 which a friend, well versed in arms and armour, who visited the 

 church with me last year, could not satisfactorily account for. 

 A kind of pad or greave appears on each leg. On the left side 

 of the left leg it can readily be seen, and, on passing the hand 

 down the right side of the right leg, its lateral edge may be felt 

 in a corresponding position. The straps of the spurs are still 

 traceable. 



It is to be regretted that a new and fancy face has been added 

 to the effigy. The right foot has also been restored, if the plate 

 in Hutchins is correct. The stone coffin, mentioned in The 

 Gentleman's Magazine, and also shown in the old plate already 

 mentioned, has wholly disappeared. 



Observe the ancient tiles, some on the footpace of the altar, 

 others on the floor of the south-west arched recess, the most 

 interesting being two (now under the altar) representing a stag 

 hunt perhaps of the famous White Hart, slain, as the legend 

 says, by De la Linde. The remaining tiles are reproductions. 

 In the south windows are some fragments of old glass. The 

 Gentleman's Magazine speaks of a "neat figure of the Virgin, and 

 some other small fragments, in the east window." This figure of 

 the Virgin has disappeared, and the window is occupied by 

 modern glass. What remains in the other windows is a medley 

 of scraps of glass some of which are of Tudor date. I have 

 been told that some pieces, perhaps these, came from the old 

 domestic chapel at Grange, hard by. Two figures of Saints (not 

 Angels), swinging censers, are in their original position. There 

 is a curious scrap showing a nose and two eyes on a very large 

 scale, which must have belonged to a face of enormous size. 

 It is in the most eastern trefoil of the south-east window. The 

 panelled oak ceiling was renewed at the restoration. 



Externally the chapel on its south side presents a very fine 

 piece of masonry, the windows deeply recessed, and the walls 

 supported by dignified buttresses. You will notice that the south
