found on the great piers themselves during the late restorations. Against three of the piers on the north side are Perpendicular brackets, for lamps or for statues. The two _western bays_ of the nave were the work of Abbot MORWENT, (1420-1437,) who pulled down the Norman front, which had towers north and south, intending to re-construct the entire nave,--a design fortunately prevented by his death[7]. The contrast between the noble Norman columns and the Perpendicular piers is sufficiently striking. The westernmost bay is much wider than the others; there is no triforium; the clerestory windows resemble the others, all of which were probably inserted by Morwent; and the vaulting is a rich lierne, with bosses of leafage. The west end is filled with a large Perpendicular window of very good design, the glass in which, by WAILES, is a memorial of the late Bishop MONK, (died 1856,) erected at the sole expense of the Rev. Thomas Murray Browne, Honorary Canon of Gloucester, “in grateful remembrance of many years of sincere friendship.” (It should be remarked that the tracery heads and cusps, as seen from the inside of this window, are not repeated on the outside,--a plain transom only crossing the lights. This peculiarity is repeated in the great east, and in some other windows.) The glass is of unusually pictorial character; and if not entirely successful, is at least better than most recent attempts in a similar direction. The subjects are:--_Lowest tier_, beginning south--Noah passing out of the Ark after the Deluge; Moses dividing the Red Sea; the Baptism of the Ethiopian Eunuch. In the _second tier_--The Annunciation to the Shepherds; the Nativity; the Adoration of the Kings. In the _third tier_--The Presentation in the Temple; the Baptism of our Lord; St. John Preaching in the Desert. _Above_ are the Baptism of St. Paul, of St. Peter, and of the Jailor of Philippi. Below the window is a brass plate with an inscription recording its erection as a memorial to Bishop Monk. The west doorway and the panelling at its sides are very plain. At the angle between the nave and the south aisle is a statue of EDWARD JENNER, by R. W. SIEVIER. Dr. Jenner, the discoverer of vaccination, was born at Berkeley in Gloucestershire, in 1749; and died there in 1823. The view eastward from this point is intercepted by the organ; but beyond the massive piers of the nave, portions of the light choir-roof are seen; and the superb glass of the east window terminates the choir with such a glow of colour as few other cathedrals can display.
