Upon the outside of the End of the North Cross Isle, there is a Statue of an old Person; which, being formerly covered and obscured by Plaister and Mortar over it, was discovered upon the late Reparation, or whitening of that End of the Isle. This may probably be the Statue of Bishop _Richard Nicks_, or the blind Bishop; for he built the Isle, or that Part thereof; and also the Roof, where his Arms are to be seen, _A Chevron_ between _three Leopards Heads Gules_. The Roof of the Church is noble, and adorn'd with Figures. In the Roof of the Body of the Church there are no Coats of Arms, but Representations from Scripture Story, as the Story of _Pharaoh_; of _Sampson_ towards the East End. Figures of the last Supper, and of our Saviour on the Cross, towards the West End; besides others of Foliage, and the like ornamental Figures. The North Wall of the Cloister was handsomly beautified, with the Arms of some of the Nobility in their proper Colours, with their Crests, _Mantlings_, _Supporters_, and the whole Atchivement quartered with the several Coats of their Matches, drawn very large from the upper Part of the Wall, and took up about half of the Wall. They are Eleven in Number; particularly these. 1. An empty Escocheon. 2. The Atchievement of _Howard_, Duke of _Norfolk_. 3. Of _Clinton_. 4. _Russel._ 5. _Cheyney._ 6. The Queen's Atchievement. 7. _Hastings._ 8. _Dudley._ 9. _Cecill._ 10. _Carey._ 11. _Hatton._ They were made soon after Queen _Elizabeth_ came to _Norwich_, _Ann. 1578_, where she remained a Week, and lodged at the Bishop's Palace in the Time of Bishop _Freake_, attended by many of the Nobility; and particularly by those, whose Arms are here set down. They made a very handsome Show, especially at that Time, when the Cloister Windows were painted unto the Cross-Bars. The Figures of those Coats, in their distinguishable and discernable Colours, are not beyond my Remembrance. But in the late Times, when the Lead was faulty, and the Stone-work decayed, the Rain falling upon the Wall, washed them away. The Pavement also of the Cloister on the same Side was broken, and the Stones taken away, a Floor of Dust remaining: But that Side is now handsomly paved by the Beneficence of my worthy Friend _William Burleigh_, Esq. At the Stone Cistern in the Cloister, there yet perceivable _a Lyon Rampant, Argent, in a field Sable_, which Coat is now quartered in the Arms of the _Howards_. In the Painted Glass in the Cloister, which hath been above the Cross-Bars, there are several Coats. And I find by an Account taken thereof, and set down in their proper Colours, that here were these following, _viz._ the Arms of _Morley_, _Shelton_, _Scales_, _Erpingham_, _Gournay_, _Mowbray_, _Savage_, now _Rivers_, three Coats of _Thorpe's_, and one of _a Lyon Rampant, Gules in a Field Or_, not well known to what Family it belongeth.
