[54] It is of course possible that both Alan de Alnewyk and Robert
Constable sat in the chancel in surplice either as a member of a gild or of
the choir.
[55] This, however, may have been for one of the choirmen or choristers.

[61] At Hambleton (98) the chancel was remodelled, and the simple desks
with linen pattern may be of that date. But the seats behind were never
more than rough movable benches.--G. H. P.
