The clerestory is formed by three triangular-headed arches, of which the centre arch, much higher and wider than the other two, follows nearly the lines of the groining rib. The window at the back of the passage is filled with tracery of Decorated character. The triangular form, which is by no means usual, is that which prevails in the north transept of Hereford, (see the Handbook for that Cathedral,) built at the end of the thirteenth century for the reception of the shrine of St. Thomas Cantilupe. The groined vaulting of the nave--the work of Bishop Wakefield in 1377--has ridge and intermediate ribs, with bosses of foliage at the intersections. The nave, which was covered with whitewash by the “restorers” of the last century, has been thoroughly cleaned; and the rich foliage of its capitals is now properly displayed. The present flooring of the nave was laid down in 1748. On the north side of the nave, in the fourth bay from the east, is the high tomb, with effigies, of SIR JOHN BEAUCHAMP, of Holt, in Worcestershire, (died 1388,) and his wife. The effigies, which are in alabaster, have been terribly defaced. The knight’s armour is a good example. The lady’s head rests on a swan with expanded wings--the crest of the Beauchamps. The panels of the tomb itself are filled with shields of arms. Immediately opposite, on the south side of the nave, is the tomb, with effigies, of ROBERT WILDE (died 1608) and his wife. His body rests in this cathedral, but his immortal part-- “Fœlices rapuere animæ, heroesque beati, Illud ad æternas, Elysiasque domos.” The sides of the tomb, divided into compartments by sun-flowers rising from vases, and the scroll-work at the lower end, deserve notice. On the south side of the nave, toward the west, is the canopied tomb, with effigy, of RICHARD EEDES, Dean of Worcester, (died 1608). The Dean is represented with moustache and beard, skull-cap, ruff, and gown open in front, with hanging sleeves. Opposite, on the north side, is the tomb, with effigy, of Bishop THORNBOROUGH, died 1641,--the latest recumbent effigy of a bishop in the cathedral: he wears the rochet and chimere with full sleeves. V. The two western bays of the _south aisle_ of the nave are _transition Norman_, like the western bays of the nave. The vaulting is quadripartite. The rest of the aisle has late Decorated windows, filled with a kind of flowing tracery, high in the wall, on account of the cloister which runs outside; and into which there are two plainly-arched entrances--the prior’s door in the bay nearest the transept, and the monks’ door in the third bay from the west end. The vaulting of this part of the aisle is lierne.
