The two western bays of the _north aisle_ are transition Norman, like those opposite; but the Decorated vaulting (plain quadripartite, with bosses) is carried throughout the aisle, and was the work of Bishop Cobham between 1317 and 1321. The rest of the aisle, including the windows, is Decorated. The west window contains some portions of ancient glass; but is chiefly filled with modern glass of the worst description. In the first bay counting from the west is a monument by WESTMACOTT for the EARL OF STRAFFORD, and the officers and men of the 29th (Worcestershire) Regiment, who fell in the Indian campaigns of 1845-6. Unlike most memorials of this class, it possesses a little religious character. In the second bay is a monument for the wife of GODFREY GOLDSBOROUGH, Bishop of Gloucester, (died 1613). In the third bay is a monument with small kneeling figures for the MOORE family, of Worcester; date 1613. The north porch opens from the fifth bay. From the eighth a small Decorated chapel, called the _Jesus chapel_, is entered; which was opened to the nave, as it now is, about 1750, when a new and singularly hideous font was placed in it. The Decorated window on the north side has been filled with stained glass by WAILES, as a memorial for the wife of the Rev. CANON WOOD. The east window of the chapel has been closed. Against the walls are tablets for Bishop FLEETWOOD, (died 1683); for Bishop BLANDFORD, (died 1675); and for Bishop BULLINGHAM, (died 1576). The upper and lower portions only of the effigy appear, the intervening wall and inscription dividing them. (Similar monuments exist at Lichfield and elsewhere.) “The dress is not very clearly developed, but it certainly does not appear to have consisted of the episcopal robes. Perhaps he was one interested in the vestiarian controversy of 1564[69].” This monument was removed from the choir wall. (See § VII.) VI. The piers of the _central tower_ are Decorated, with small capitals of leafage, of the same date and character as the south side of the nave. It is certain, however, that a core of Norman masonry remains within them, since Norman work is visible on the choir side of the eastern piers, (see § VII.,) in the roof of the triforium of the choir, and at the south corner of the east end of the north triforium of the nave. The vaulting resembles that of the nave.
