EXISTING DATA. Professor Willis's _Architectural History_ shows nearest parallel, but his plan is only an eastward extension of the central one of five little chapels, and its total length would only exceed the rest by about 12 feet, and width would be a little over 11 feet. RESULT. PROVED BY EXCAVATION AS SUBSTANTIALLY CORRECT FOR THE EARLIER OR RECTILINEAR PORTION OF THE CHAPEL. The dimensions are shown in the plan published in the _Proc. Som. Arch. Soc._ for 1908, and again in 1909. II. AS TO THE DEDICATION OF THE CHAPEL. SCRIPT November 7, 1907. "Capella St. Edgar. Abbas Beere fecit hanc capellam Beat(i) Edgar(i). "... et capella extensit 80 virgas ... et fecit altarium ... et tumbam ante altarium gloriosam aedificavit ad memoriam Sanct(i) Edgar(i)." _Q._ "_Which Abbot did this?_" _A._ "Ricardus Whitting." EXISTING DATA Leland says: "Abbat Beere builded Edgares Chapel at the east end of the Church. But Abbat Whitting performed sum part of it." Willis thought that the Edgar Chapel might have been at this point--_i.e._, where he shows his projecting central chapel. RESULT PROVED LATER TO HAVE BEEN THE EDGAR CHAPEL BY A PLAN DISCOVERED IN 1910 IN A PRIVATE COLLECTION. (See _Som. Arch. Soc. Proc._, 1916-17.) THE 30-YARD LENGTH IS THE RESULT OF AN ADDITION TO THE ORIGINAL PLAN. III. AS TO A DOOR IN THE EXTREME EAST. SCRIPT November 7, 1907. "Portus introitus post reredos, post altarium quinque passuum" (An entrance door five paces behind the reredos). June 16, 1908. "There was a passage to the east doore in ye walle to the streete." EXISTING DATA No record of such a feature, and no warrant for supposing it. Eastern doorways are very unusual. Nothing known of door or wall to the street from this part. RESULT PROVED BY THE GAP FOUND IN THE FOOTINGS AT THE EASTERN EXTREMITY, WHERE THE TWO FOUNDATIONS OF THE ANGULAR APSE WALLS DO NOT JOIN. THE DEPTH OF THE APSE IS ABOUT FIVE PACES. The use of the word "portus," meaning "door," is confirmed in this sense by the allusion to the "east door." The angular south wall of the apse continues on, and was perhaps a fence-wall to a pathway, but it has not been possible to pursue this. The ditch or moat is believed to have run on the south side of same. On the north, the footing of the angular wall stops short, leaving a gap in the foundations at the east end, as though for a doorway. IV. AS TO THE TOTAL LENGTH OF THE CHAPEL. SCRIPT November 7, 1907. "Et capella extensit 30 virgas ad orientem" (And the chapel extended 80 yards to the east). EXISTING DATA The Elizabethan Inventory, in a list of measures of the Church, says: "_Chapter House, 90 feet._" RESULT PROVED BY MEASURE. THE INTERNAL MEASURE IS 87 FEET, AND THIS, ALLOWING 3 FEET MORE FOR THICKNESS OF END WALL AND PLINTH GIVES THE 30 YARDS FOR THE TOTAL LENGTH OF THE EDGAR CHAPEL. V. AS TO THE AZURE GLASS IN THE WINDOWS OF THE CHAPEL. SCRIPT. November, 7 1907. "Et vitrea azurea" (And window-glass of azure).
