[11] Froucester’s Chronicle asserts that Abbot Wygemore re-cased the “aisle of St. Andrew,” and Abbot Horton “the aisle of St. Paul.” These aisles are identified with the south and north transepts, by comparing the Chronicle with an account given by one of the monks which Leland has recorded in his Itinerary. See Willis’s notice of the cathedral at the meeting of the Archæological Institute at Gloucester in 1860, Gent. Mag., Sept. 1860. [12] Report of Professor Willis’s lecture at Gloucester, Gent. Mag., Sept. 1860. [13] Willis. [14] It has, however, been suggested that this structure may have been a lavatory, and the work of Elias de Lideford, sacrist during the early part of the thirteenth century, who, it is recorded, (by Froucester,) brought an “aqueduct” into the church. A lavatory in a church is not uncommon. [15] This is the most probable explanation of this lectern. There was perhaps a desk in Canterbury Cathedral, in a similar position, from which the pilgrims were exhorted as they approached Becket’s shrine. At all events, in later times, the desk for the Bible and “Fox’s Martyrs” was erected in that cathedral, at the angle of the stairs ascending to the choir-aisle. [16] Willis. [17] Willis. [18] The restoration of this window is the result of the untiring energy and able administration of the Chapter revenues by the Treasurer, Dr. Jeune, Master of Pembroke College, Oxford, and Canon of Gloucester. A new Chapter school has been built, extensive repairs and restorations made in the cathedral, and the ground round it thrown open, by special funds derived from the same source. [19] C. Winston, Stained Glass of Gloucester, &c., in the Bristol volume of the Archæological Institute. (For some further important remarks on this window, see Note at the end of Part I.) [20] It has been asserted that this Sir John Powell was one of the judges who tried the seven bishops. This is an error. There were three Judge Powells living at the same time; two “Sir Johns,” and one “Sir Thomas.” Sir John who tried the bishops was of Caermarthenshire; the Sir John buried in this cathedral was of a Gloucestershire family.

[24] Other traditions connect Lucius with Kent, and make Chilham Castle, near Canterbury, his principal stronghold. Besides Gloucester, he is the traditional founder of Canterbury and Winchester Cathedrals, and of many churches. Another legend asserts that he resigned his crown, and after preaching Christianity throughout France and Germany, became Bishop of Coire in the Grisons, where he died, and where his relics are still shewn.
