In the north aisle of the Saint’s Chapel we come to the pedestal of the =Shrine of St. Amphibalus= (see page 362). It stood in the centre of the retro-choir until Lord Grimthorpe removed it to its present position. An oak screen separates the Saint’s Chapel from the =Retro-Choir=. This is Lord Grimthorpe’s work, and through it we pass. The Retro-Choir dates from the end of the Thirteenth Century, and has been greatly restored. In the centre once stood the shrine of St. Amphibalus (now removed to the north aisle of the Saint’s Chapel), and there were several altars: to Our Lady of the Four Tapers; to St. Michael; to St. Edmund, King and Martyr; to St. Peter; and to St. Amphibalus. The =Lady-Chapel=, greatly restored, dates from the latter part of the Thirteenth and early part of the Fourteenth Centuries. Several changes of style may be noted. The side windows are fine examples of the Decorated, and the statuettes ornamenting the jambs and mullions still remain. The eastern window of five lights is a strange combination of tracery and tabernacle work. Originally the Lady-Chapel was separated from the retro-choir by a screen. The glass in the windows is modern, and the stone vaulting is also modern. Historical associations are numerous. Beneath the floor lie the hated Edmund Beaufort, Duke of Somerset, grandson of John of Gaunt; Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland, son of the famous Hotspur; and Thomas, Lord Clifford: whose bodies were found lying dead in the streets of St. Albans, after the first battle in 1455, in which they fell fighting for the Red Rose party. Beyond the eastern bay on the south side was built the =Chapel of the Transfiguration=, dedicated in 1430. Of late years this addition was rebuilt for a vestry. The walls were made lower than the original ones, so as to show the fine window above that consists of a traceried arch within a curvilinear triangle, beneath which is a row of niches. Beneath these is a very fine row of _sedilia_ and _piscinœ_. The carving in the new chapel is very naturalistic, and represents the poppy, buttercup, primrose, gooseberry, rose, blackberry, pansy, ivy, maple, and convolvulus and other local flowers and leaves. OXFORD DEDICATION: THE HOLY TRINITY, ST. MARY AND ST. FRIDESWIDE. SPECIAL FEATURES: CEILING IN CHOIR; WINDOWS; SHRINE OF ST. FRIDESWIDE. This Cathedral is peculiar in being almost hidden from sight in a series of college buildings, gardens and quadrangles. It is the chapel of Christ Church, as well as a cathedral; and to enter it we have to pass through the gateway of the famous =Tom Tower=, and across the great quadrangle, familiarly known as =Tom Quad=. The big bell =Tom= gives its name to the tower and quadrangle, is seven feet one inch in diameter, and weighs 17,000 tons. It was brought from Oseney Abbey with the other bells, the “merry Christ Church bells,” that now hang in the bell-tower above the =hall staircase=. Tom was recast in 1680.
