XIII. Against the south wall of this transept, and connected with the arcade in a remarkable manner, is the effigy of a knight, on a raised tomb of comparatively recent date. The effigy is that of a knight of the HARCOURT family, and belongs to the early part of the fourteenth century. The armour is of ringed mail, with the exception of the poleyns at the knees, which are of plate. The shield has the arms of Harcourt--Gules, two bars or. The small brass plate below, with the inscription “Ici gist sur Guilliamme de Harcourt,” is not coeval with the effigy, which is slightly raised on the left side. In the centre of the transept is a high tomb, of good character, from which the brasses had been removed, for SIR GRYFFYTH RYCE, (died 1523). The ancient inscription remains; and brasses by HARDMAN have taken the places of the originals. Inclosed within the screen-work of Prince Arthur’s chantry are two high tombs, with effigies, which deserve especial attention. They are both apparently of the same date, (early in the fourteenth century,) and have been assigned, the westernmost to Bishop GIFFARD, (died 1302,) and the eastern to AUDELA, wife of JOHN DE WARREN. The fronts of the tombs, which are of Purbeck, have quatrefoiled compartments, in which are sculptures, now much mutilated. Bishop GIFFARD’S effigy “represents the chin close shaven. The mitre is ornamented with quatrefoiled and other concavities, in which stones, glass, or paste have been set, to represent jewels.” The square apparel of the amice in front of the breast, the collar, and the episcopal boots, seem also to have been set with stones. “The folds of the chasuble are well and tastefully arranged[82].” The effigy of AUDELA DE WARREN, “which is beautifully executed, represents her in the veiled headdress, and the wimple or gorget, ... the latter perhaps a sign of widowhood, leaving but a small portion of the face visible. The veil is very tastefully disposed.... Over the gown is worn a mantle, on the left side of which is a lozenge-shaped fermail, to fasten the mantle in front, in a somewhat unusual fashion. The left arm is gone; the right arm reclines on the breast, and in the hand is held a string of prayer-beads, or, as they were anciently called, a pair of paternosters, with larger ones at intervals; an early and singular instance of their being thus represented, the beads being gracefully disposed, and not hanging down formally. The feet rest against a whelp. The admirable manner in which this effigy is treated is worthy of all praise. The mantle and gown were formerly covered with painted shields, representing the arms of Warren, Checky, argent and sable, and those of Blanchminster, Argent, fretty gules[83].” Audela was the daughter and heiress of Griffin de Blanchminster.
