[146] There is also a fine reredos of somewhat later date in the church of Varziella near Cantanhede not far off: but it belongs rather to the school of the chapel dos Reis Magos; there is another in the Matriz of Cantanhede itself.

[148] The only other object of any interest in the São Marcos is a small early renaissance pulpit on the north side of the nave, not unlike that at Caminha. [149] During the French invasion much church plate was hidden on the top of capitals and so escaped discovery. [150] João then bought a house in the Rua de Corredoura for 80$000 or nearly £18.--Vieira Guimarães, _A Ordem de Christo_, p. 167. [151] There is preserved in the Torre do Tombo at Lisbon a long account of the trial of a 'new Christian' of Thomar, Jorge Manuel, begun on July 15, 1543, in the office of the Holy Inquisition within the convent of Thomar.--Vieira Guimarães, p. 179. [152] From book 34 of João III.'s Chancery a 'quitaçã' or discharge given to João de Castilho for all the work done for Dom João or for his father, viz.--'In Monastery of Belem; in palace by the sea--swallowed up by the earthquake in 1755--balconies in hall, stair, chapel, and rooms of Queen Catherine, chapel of monastery of São Francisco in Lisbon, foundation of Arsenal Chapel; a balcony at Santos, and divers other lesser works. Then a door, window, well balustrade, garden repairs; work in pest house; stone buildings at the arsenal for a dry dock for the Indian ships; the work he has executed at Thomar, as well as the work he has done at Alcobaça and Batalha; besides he made a bastion at Mazagão so strong,' etc.--Raczynski's _Les Artistes Portugais_.

[155] Ferguson (_History of Modern Architecture_, vol. ii. p. 287) says that some of the cloisters at Gôa reminded him of Lupiana, so no doubt they are not unlike those here mentioned. [156] An inscription over a door outside says: DNS. EMANVEL NORONHA EPVS LAMACEN. 1557. [157] One chapel, that of São Martin, has an iron screen like a poor Spanish _reja_. [158] It has been pulled down quite lately. Lorvão, in a beautiful valley some fifteen miles from Coimbra, was a very famous nunnery. The church was rebuilt in the eighteenth century, has a dome, a nuns' choir to the west full of stalls, but in style, except the ruined cloister, which was older, all is very rococo. [159] This reredos is in the chapel on the south of the Capella Mor.
