each of the canopies A and B. In the smaller tracery lights are monsters, or foliaged ornaments, as in the Antechapel windows.

SECOND NORTH WINDOW FROM THE EAST.

The glazing in the tracery lights of this window is also original. An angel under a canopy fills each of the lights A to F, inclusive. At the foot of A and B respectively is written, Angeli. The smaller lights are ornamented in the same way as those of the last window.

THIRD NORTH WINDOW FROM THE EAST.

The glazing of the tracery lights of this window is likewise original. An angel under a canopy is represented in each of the lights A to F, inclusive; and at the foot of A and B respectively is written. Archangeli. The smaller tracery lights are ornamented as before.

FOURTH NORTH WINDOW FROM THE EAST.

The glazing of the tracery lights of this window is also original. An angel completely armed in plate, or cuir bouilli, but bare-headed, holding a battle-axe in his left hand, and a spear, with a square pennon bearing a plain cross, in his right, under a canopy, is represented in the lights A to F, inclusive. The following is written, one half in light A, the other half in light B: Virtutes. By some mistake the halves have been transposed in the window.

FIFTH NORTH WINDOW FROM THE EAST.

The glass in the tracery lights of this window is also original. In each of the lights A to F inclusive, is a canopy, under which is an angel with legs and arms entirely enclosed in plate, or cuir bouilli; wearing a jupon and sword-belt, a tippet of ermine round his neck, and a sort of fur cap on his head. He holds a long baton in his left hand. In some of the examples the baton has a short spike at the top, like that usually represented at the butt end of a staff. At the bottom of lights A and B respectively is written Potestates.
