=Robert II.= (1182-1183). =Alan= (1187-1202). His tomb is in the south ambulatory of the choir. He was a friend of Thomas à Becket, having previously been Prior of St. Saviour's, Canterbury. =Walter= (1202-1213), previously Sacrist of the monastery. He was succeeded by-- =Hugh= (1214), who had been the Prior. Dying in a year, his successor was Bernard, but the latter was never instituted. =Peter= (1216-1231) was a monk from Worcester. =Robert Forthington= (1232-1254), or =Robert III.= had previously been Prior. A tomb ascribed to him is in the south ambulatory. =Thomas de Stokes= (1254-1275) had been Prior of St. James, Bristol. =Richard de Norton= (1276-1282). =Thomas Kempsey= (1282-1328). =John Cotes= ( -1347). =Thomas de Legh= (1347-1361). =Thomas Chesterton= (1361-1389). =Thomas Parker, or Pakare= (1389-1421). =William Bristow, or de Bristol= (1421-1442). =John de Abingdon= (1442- ), who was probably identical with =John de Salis, or Galys=. =John Strensham, or Streynsham= ( -1481). He was Abbot at the time of the Battle of Tewkesbury. =Richard Cheltenham= (1481-1509). =Henry Beoly, or Bealy= (1509- ), was Abbot in 1526. =John Walker= (d. 1531). =John Wich, Wyche, or Wakeman= (1531-1539). This ecclesiastic was the last Abbot of Tewkesbury. He, unlike the Abbot of Gloucester, seems to have been in no wise unwilling to surrender his Abbey. In return he obtained a pension of £266 13_s._ 4_d._, and also the house and park at Forthampton. When, later, Gloucester was made a bishopric, he was the first bishop. He was buried at Forthampton. FOOTNOTES: [7] In point of actual size the Tewkesbury piers are 30 feet 8 inches high, and 6 feet 3 inches in diameter; while the piers at Gloucester are 30 feet by 6 feet. Those at Malvern are considerably less in height. [8] This boss represents the Virgin as being present at the Table. [9] The ball-flower here as well as that in the vestry differs from that in the neighbourhood, as there is a curious little side-twist or kink in it. [10] Mr. W.H. St. John Hope's description of this quoted _in extenso_ in "Gloucester" (Cathedral Series) is most interesting, and should be carefully studied. [11] Letters in brackets refer to the plan at the end. [12] This Transept was used from 1813-17 as a temporary National School. [13] The columns are, with the exception of one which is round, roughly hexagonal. [14] In some plans this chapel is ascribed to St. Nicholas. [15] The arch of this chamber shows distinct traces of fire, not mentioned in any records, and the staircase to the tower, which then communicated with this chamber, shows traces for a short distance on the stonework. [16] The same moulding is found at Durham in the doorway from the nave into the cloisters, but there it is much mutilated; it is also found at St. Joseph's Chapel, Glastonbury, and in various forms in the West of England. [17] It is not quite certain whether Sir Guy is actually buried here.
