[167-*] Cottonian MS. Titus D. xxvii. 10th saec.

[167-+] "Crux que erat super magnum altare, et Mariola, et Johannes, quas
imagines Stigandus archiepiscopus magno pondere auri et argenti ornaverat,
et sancto AEdmundo dederat."--Cronica Jocelini de Brakelonda, p. 4.

[168-*] "Supra pulpitum trabes erat, per tranversum ecclesiae posita, quae
crucem grandem et duo cherubin et imagines Sanctae _Mariae_ et Sancti
_Johannis_ apostoli sustentabat."--Gervasius de Combustione, &c.

[181-*] The cover of an ancient thurible of latten was lately discovered
in the chest of Ashbury Church, Berkshire: the lower part is of a
semi-globular or domical form, from which issues an embattled turret or
