according to the Obit Kaleiider. Lelaud puts it on the 20th of 

 September, but as his accompanying statement is wrong in otfier 

 particulars there cannot be much doubt that he is incorrect. 



Robert de Wikeeiampton (1274 — 1284), according to the 

 Lambeth MS., No. 589, "sepultus iacet in Australi parte capellai 

 B. Virginis," that is, lies buried in the south part of the Lady 

 Chapel. All the other authorities which mention liis burial-place 

 agree with this statement, and in the plan of the Cathedral in 

 Cough's Sep^dchral Momcments his grave is marked close to the 

 the east end of the Lady Chapel, just south of the altar, and I think 

 this may be accepted as his burial-place. His obit was on the 

 24th of April. 



Walter Scammell (1284 — 1286), according to the Lambeth 

 MS. No. 589, was buried " contra capellam Salve Kegina prope 

 altare reliquiarum." Canon Rich- Jones thought that the spot 

 indicated was near where the Audley Chapel was afterwards built, 

 but that would be near neither the Lady Chapel nor the Altar of 

 Relics. The Salve was the principal altar in the Lady Chapel, 

 and the principal Altar of Relics was the same as that of St. John 

 the baptist, in the south bay of the north-west transept. Price 

 says he was buried "near the North West Grand Leg" of the 

 Tower, he may have made this statement owing to the grave being 

 described as being near the Altar of Relics, but it is a long way 

 from the Salve. There was, however, at one time another Altar 

 of Relics near the tomb of St. Osmund, and if the grave was opposite 

 to the Salve it could not have been far from the tomb of St. Osmund, 

 and I think that Walter Scammell must have been buried some- 

 where in or near the Lady Chapel. His obit was celebrateel on 

 the 23rd of September. 



All the authorities agree that Henry of Brandeston (1287 — 

 ll^SS) was l)urie(l on the south side of the Lady Chapel. The plan 

 in Gough marks his gravid immediately to the west of that of 

 K(jljert of Wikehani[)ton, and that no doubt was the ])lace. 



The older authorities say that the burial-place of lii.siior Wir.i.i.wi 

 DE LA Corner (1280 — 1291) was "in navi ecclesiaMuter alUiro 

 maluLinuni ct SpiiiUis Sancti." The nioniing altar was near
