AS A MARK OF GRATITUDE TO THE REVEREND RICHARD SCOTT, B.D. WHOSE OWN WORKS ARE BETTER PRAISE THAN THE WORDS OF OTHERS, THIS MEMORIAL IS PLACED HERE BY THE PARISHIONERS OF THE HOLY CROSS AND ST. GILES. HE REBUILT THE EASTERN WINDOW OF THIS CHURCH, ADDING A PART OF THE STAINED GLASS TO IT. HE GAVE THE ALTAR SCREEN AND STONE RAIL, THE SERVICE OF COMMUNION PLATE, WITH THE BOOKS, AND ALL OTHER FURNITURE OF THE ALTAR. HE REPEWED BOTH THE AISLES, THE NORTHERN BEING GIVEN FOR THE USE OF THE POOR. HE BUILT THE SIX WINDOWS IN THE SOUTH AISLE, AND THE TWO SMALLER WINDOWS AT THE WESTERN END OF THE CHURCH, ADDING STAINED GLASS TO THE GREAT WESTERN WINDOW. HE GAVE NEW FIGURES OF ST. PETER AND ST. PAUL TO BE PLACED WHERE THE OLD HAD BEEN AT THE WESTERN FRONT OF THE TOWER. HE RESTORED THE ARCH OF THE WESTERN ENTRANCE. HE ALSO GAVE MANY OTHER LESSER GIFTS TO THIS CHURCH. HE RESTORED ST. GILES’S CHURCH, MAKING IT AGAIN AVAILABLE FOR THE SERVICE OF GOD. HE GAVE TO THE SAME CHURCH, PARTLY IN HIS LIFE TIME AND PARTLY BY BEQUEST, THE SUM OF ONE THOUSAND POUNDS VESTED IN THE PUBLIC FUNDS, AS AN ENDOWMENT TOWARDS THE SUPPORT OF A CURATE. HE DIED ON THE 6TH OF OCTOBER, 1848. BLESSED ARE THE DEAD WHICH DIE IN THE LORD FROM HENCEFORTH; YEA, SAITH THE SPIRIT, THAT THEY MAY REST FROM THEIR LABOURS AND THEIR WORKS DO FOLLOW THEM. REVELATION XIV. 13. Numerous other mural monuments and inscriptions of more modern dates, many of which are chaste and elegant, record deceased members of the principal families of the parish. Southwestward of the church, on the margin of the Meole Brook, stands, THE MONK’S INFIRMARY, where “crepytude and age a laste asylume founde.” The building is of red stone, in length about 130 feet, and originally consisted of two oblong wings, with high gable ends, pierced with round arched windows, connected by an embattled building resting on rude Norman arches, and lighted by three square headed windows between strong shelving buttresses. One of these wings next the street was in 1836 taken down, and modern houses erected on its site. On the south side of the church are the remains of a long building, now converted into stables, formerly the DORMITORY, OR DORTER. Of the spacious Refectory no portion exists, with the exception of THE READER’S PULPIT,
