Lincoln (1452—71), and previously (1440 — 52) canon, and the 

 Treasurer of Salisbury, had received permission before he obtained 

 this dignity to found a chantry here. He accordingly established 

 a daily mass of the Holy Ghost. Salisb. Proc, p. 159, 204 ; cf. 77, 

 185, 186, 198, 201, 211, (where "Chandler "is an error for Ched- 

 worth), 228, 292. Salisbury possessed two relics of St. Andrew,

18. — In the loft before the crucifix before the altar . . . This 

 abrupt conclusion of the fragment is most disappointing; the 

 want of thought for our information on the part of those concerned 

 in binding the MS. has deprived us of a chance of knowing some- 

 thing about the stone rood-loft, solar, pulpitum, or choir-screen. 

 It remained at Salisbury until Mr. Wyatt pulled it down in 1789, 

 when he removed two portions of its face to the west wall of the 

 Morning Prayer Chapel (Nos. 6, 7), where he has sandwiched the 

 stone doorway of Bishop Beauchanip's chantry, which (1481) he 

 had pulled off from the south-east angle of the Cathedral. Till 

 then, far on into the reign of George III. (notwithstanding various 

 changes in the stall-work) the screen or ptdpituvi here had sur- 

 vived, as little altered as that which I saw at Lincoln in 1898 — 

 1899, when the organ there was temporarily dislodged. There 

 was a rood -beam here, further east. See note on p. 571, below. 



We know from other sources ' (Salisb, Proc, pp. 195, 196, 201, 

 228, 296,) that there was an altar of the Holy Kood at Salisbury 

 in 1265, which is mentioned in the processional, written for use 

 in the Cathedral dr. 1445. It is said to have been called also the 

 Works' Altar or Altar of the Fabric ; and there in 1468 there was 

 a daily mass sung at high morn (summo mane). Accordingly we 

 may pretty confidently suggest that such an altar of St. Cross was 

 in existence at the date of the list before us : — a record which may, 

 I think, be assigned to the period about 1396 — 1400, on grounds 

 which will be given in the second part of this paper. 



In 1265 Nicolas of St. Quentin endowed the chaplain who was 

 appointed to say mass at the altar of the Kood assigned to the 

 Fabric of the Church, for the benefit of workmen at the fabric and 

 for others who should attend to hear this mass (Salisb. Proc., p.
