the quire came to the sepulchre, set up upon Good Fryday, after the Passion, all covered with red velvet embroider'd with gold, and did then cense it, either of the monks with a pair of silver censers, sitting on their knees before the sepulchre. Then they, both rising, came to the sepulchre, out of which, with great reverence, they took a marvellous beautiful image of our Saviour, representing the Resurrection, with a cross in his hand, on the breast was enclosed, in most bright chrystal, the holy Sacrament of the Altar, through which chrystal, the Blessed Host was conspicious to the beholders. Then, after the elevation of the said picture, carried by the said two monks, upon a fair velvet cushion, all embroider'd, singing the anthems of _Christus Resurgens_, they brought it to the high altar." We gather from the preceding and other accounts, that the sepulchre at Durham was a temporary erection, consisting of a wooden framework, having silk hangings. As might be expected, much interesting information may be found in old churchwardens' accounts bearing on this theme. The records of St. Mary Redcliffe Church, Bristol, contain the following entries: "Item--That Maister Canynge hath delivered, this 4th day of July, in the year of Our Lord 1470, to Maister Nicholas Petters, vicar of St. Mary Redcliffe, Moses Conterin, Philip Bartholomew, Procurators of St. Mary Redcliffe aforesaid, a new sepulchre, well gilt with golde, and a civer thereto. Item--An image of God Almighty rising out of the same sepulchre, with all the ordinance that longeth thereto; that is to say, a lathe made of timber, and the ironwork thereto. Item--Thereto longeth Heaven, made of timber and stayned clothes. [Illustration: EASTER SEPULCHRE AT PATRINGTON.] Item--Hell, made of timber, and the ironwork thereto, with Divels to the number of 13. Item--4 Knights, armed, keeping the sepulchre, with their weapons in their hands; that is to say, 2 axes and 2 spears, with 2 paves. [A pave was a shield.] Item--4 payr of Angels wings for 4 Angels, made of timber, and well painted. Item--The Fadre [_i.e._, the Father], the Crowne and Visage, the ball with a cross upon it, well gilt with fine gould. Item--The Holy Ghost coming out of Heaven into the sepulchre. Item--Longeth to the 4 Angels 4 Chevelures." We cull from the accounts of St. Helen's, Abingdon, Berkshire, some quaint items as follows: "1557. To the sexton for watching the sepulter two nights, 8d. 1559. Payde for making the sepulture, 10s. For peynting the same sepulture, 3s. For stones and other charges about it, 4s. 6d. To the sexten, for meat and drink and watching the sepulture according to custom, 22d." In this case, of course, the sepulchre was merely a temporary erection. In the churchwardens' accounts of Waltham Abbey Church are the following entries: "1542. Payde for watching the sepulchre, 4d. 1544. Payde for watching the sepulchre, 8d."
