By the time two hundred and fifty years had elapsed, Walkelin’s nave had become somewhat dilapidated, and Bishop Edington undertook its renovation. He built the west porch and one of the westernmost windows in the south aisle and two in the north. Wykeham carried on the good work for ten years, till his death in 1404, having commenced it as a septuagenarian. He finished the south aisle and began the north, and left 500 marks to glaze the windows. His work was that of adaptation--pulling down the triforium and casing the pillars. Portions of the old Norman pillars, then concealed by chapels, can still be seen near the stairs to the choir. [Illustration: Wykeham’s Tomb] The work of construction was finished by Cardinal Beaufort and Bishop Wayneflete. We now come to a less pleasing subject for consideration--the work of demolition. “Thomas did us more harm than Oliver”--such is the saying at Winchester. Among the spoils which the creatures of the former catalogued here for Henry VIII., we find:-- “_Imprimus._ The nether part of the high altar being of plate of gold garnished with stones. The front above being of broidery work and pearls, and above that a table of images of silver and gilt, garnished with stones. “_Item._ Above that altar a great cross and an image of plate of gold. “_Item._ Behind the high altar, St. Swithun’s shrine, being of plate of silver and gilt, garnished with stones. “_Item._ In the body of the Church a great cross and an image of Christ and Mary and John, being of plate silver, partly gilt. “The treasures of gold are-- Five crosses garnished with silver. One pair of candlesticks. Three chalices--one with stones. Four Pontifical rings. Two saints’ arms in plate of gold.[68] St. Philip’s foot in plate of gold and stones. A book of the four Evangelists written all with gold and the outer side of plate of gold.” [Sidenote: Demolition.] [Illustration: A Fragment of the Chapter House.] Bishop Horne, who died in 1580, and was buried near Bishop Edington’s chantry, was a detrimental reformer. To make himself conspicuous in taking what appeared to be the winning side he did a great amount of damage to the Cathedral, not only removing crucifix, images, and paintings, but actually knocking down the cloisters and chapter-house. A few arches on the back of the Deanery still remain sad memorials of these buildings, and of his misdirected zeal. [Sidenote: Civil War.]
