After its removal from Gloucester, the candlestick was given to the Cathedral of Le Mans by Thomas de Poche or de Poce (POCIENSIS). Subsequently it belonged to the Marquis d'Espaulart of Le Mans, and was sold to Prince Soltykoff for about L800, and finally was bought from his collection for L680 for the Museum at South Kensington. #Bishop Hooper's Memorial# stands in the churchyard of St. Mary de Lode, and is on the actual site of the burning. This is perhaps the chief or the only interest in the memorial, as its architectural merit is almost _nil_. The inscriptions to prevent defacement are glazed over, and as the glass is broken the effect is wretched. A previous monument to the Bishop was erected at the other end of the churchyard. An interesting relic of the execution of the Bishop is in possession of the rector of St. Mary's Church--viz. the sergeant's mace, which was the authority of the soldiers who conducted the Bishop down to Gloucester. This mace, which is the only surviving example of a London sergeant's mace, was found in a house in Westgate Street, belonging to a Mr Ingram. It is to be hoped that some day the mace may be deposited in some public national museum. NOTES, ARCHITECTURAL AND CHRONOLOGICAL Style. Abbot at the Time. Date.
