century it is not without considerable merit[86].” A coffin, containing the remains of a bishop in his episcopal vestments, in all probability Walter de Cantilupe, was found in December, 1861, under the wall on the north side of the choir, near the east end. On measuring this coffin, and comparing it with the effigy described above, they were found to correspond exactly. The central effigy, which is much mutilated, is either that of Bishop BRIAN (died 1361) or Bishop LYNN (died 1373). In the central bay of the _north_ aisle is the effigy of an _unknown lady_, of the thirteenth century, and the earliest female effigy in the cathedral. It “is not of much merit as a work of art, but if the lady is here represented of the natural size, she must have been 6 ft. 3 in. in height. I think, however, from the examination of not a few examples, that many early sepulchral effigies were greatly exaggerated as to size[87].” In the adjoining bay is the effigy (also 6 ft. 3 in. in height) of an unknown _knight_, temp. Henry III. He wears mailed armour, with the long surcoat over it. XVII. The _north-eastern transept_ precisely resembles that opposite. The windows have been rebuilt, and restored where necessary, but without any alteration of the original design. The sculptures in the wall-arcade are curious and interesting, but no principle of arrangement is evident. On a high tomb in the centre of the transept is a full-length figure, by CHANTREY, of CHARLOTTE ELIZABETH, wife of the Rev. WILLIAM DIGBY, who died in 1820. The sculpture is fine, but the design is scarcely appropriate, and suffers infinitely when compared with the repose and dignity of the earlier effigies in this cathedral. Against the south wall of the transept, between it and the choir, under a Decorated arch, is an effigy which has been ascribed to Bishop COBHAM, (died 1337). “The head, which is mitred, reposes on a square double cushion, supported by much mutilated figures of angels. The vestments, consisting of the chasuble, dalmatic, tunic, and alb, are not well defined[88].” Below this, “on a high tomb of the seventeenth century, and under a pointed arch of the fourteenth century,” is an effigy assigned to Bishop WULSTAN BRANSFORD, died 1349. He wears the chasuble, the dalmatic, and the alb. “The chasuble is enriched with the orfrey, or super-humerale, an ornament not unlike the archiepiscopal pall, hanging down in front, and fringed at the lower extremity[89].”
