“The Tudor work (1485-1519) is exceptional in importance. It includes the north entrance and other late portions of the western screen, two exquisite chapels both built by Bishop Oldham--his own chantry (St. Saviour’s) on the south side of the retro-choir, the Speke chantry (St. George’s) on the north--and in addition, Prior Sylke’s chantry on the north transept. All this work is admirable in design and execution. In Oldham’s chantry is a charming series of owls with the scroll _Dam_, a rebus on his name, proceeding from the beak of each little owl. To Bishop Oldham also (1504-1519) is due the grand set of stone screens--one of the glories of the cathedral--no less than ten, which veil all the nine chapels and Prior Sylke’s chantry, and add fresh beauty to the beautiful choir.”--(F. B.) At the extreme end of the east aisle is the =Chapel of St. Mary Magdalene=, probably the work of Bishop Bronescomb, who died in 1280. The east window, which resembles that of the opposite chapel of St. Gabriel, contains some stained glass of the Fifteenth Century. In this chapel a fine Elizabethan monument to Sir Gawain Carew, his wife and their nephew Sir Peter should be noticed. It dates from 1589. A staircase here leads to the roofs of the north-choir-aisle and of the ambulatory. The views of the Cathedral obtained here are very fine, especially of the flying-buttresses. =St. Gabriel’s Chapel= is similar to that of St. Mary Magdalene. Bishop Bronescomb’s patron saint was St. Gabriel the Archangel, whose feast was, in consequence, celebrated in Exeter Cathedral with the same solemnity as those of Christmas and Easter. A monument by Flaxman to =General Simcoe=, who died in 1806, having distinguished himself at the head of the Queen’s Rangers during the American war, and a splendid statue of =Northcote=, the painter, by Chantrey claim attention. Finally summing up the characteristics of this glorious fane:
