Also I bequeath for the making of a taber- nacle for the image of St. Helen in the church of St. Helen aforesaid to be made anew 12d." A tabernacle was what is now termed a canopy, and an image was what is now called in sculpture a statue and in stained glass a single figure, as op- j posed to vitri historialis, i.e., subject work. In 1513, Richard Wright, glass-painter of Bury St. Edmunds, agreed to fill the windows of St. John's College, Cambridge, with; " Imagery Werke and Tabernaclis " (Willis and Clark, ' Archit. Hist, of Univ. of Cam- bridge,' vol. ii., p. 347). In York Minster the gallery in behind the pinnacles of the| choir stalls on the north side is still called "The Tabernacle." Although Witton leaves sums of money to the vicar, chaplain, clerk and sub -clerk of St. Helen's, as well as to "every other | chaplain of that church present at my exequies and mass " and also " to every other outside chaplain coming to such exequies and masses," he evidently did j not expect that he would be buried there, nor did Richard Chamber contemplate a similar circumstance in his own case, j when he made his will the previous day, ; for they each desired that their respective ! bodies should be buried " with church burial where God shall dispose for me." To Henry Witton, his father, who was; evidently in a feeble state of health, the testator bequeathed " 40s. to be delivered to him 4s. yearly by my executors until the said sum of 40s. be fully paid if he shaD live so long." He also forgave a debt of 16s. 8d. due to him from Alice Barton and made a gift of money to each of her three children, j " Also I bequeath to John Chaumbre my j master 10s. ; to Matilda his wife 13s. 4rf. and j to Richard Chaumbre 20c?." He further | made gifts to Joan Walter, Agnes Alnewyke, j and Isabel Jacob, which perhaps is signifi- cant as showing that Witton was still of an age to be easily impressed with the charms of the fair sex. He made John Chamber, his master, and Matilda Chamber, with his parish priest, Sir William Marshall, his executors and residuary legatees to dis- pose of his goods " for the health of my soul in the celebration of masses as to them shall seem best to do." As stated in the account of Richard Chamber (ante, p. 128), he and his fellow-apprentice, then three years out of his time, evidently went away together, whether to the wars in France, on foreign travel, or to buy glass in Bruges or Antwerp, we do not know. Within a very few months his good master John Chamber was dead, and less than nine months after he and Richard Chamber had made their wills, they two were dead also, probate of the two wills being granted within four days of one another.
