St. Withburga, St. Edmond, St. Werberga, fourth abbess of
Ely, and Archbishop Dunstan. In the lower tier, Bishop
Ethelwold; Brithnoth, Duke of Northumberland; Abbot
Brithnoth, and King Edgar. The tracery contains the arms of
the University of Cambridge, with other figures and devices:
contributed by subscriptions from the Bachelors and
Undergraduates of the University of Cambridge.

The window in the north-west angle also contains eight
representative figures, viz., in the upper tier, (reading
from right to left) are William I., Henry I., Henry III.,
and Edward II.; and under these, Abbot Simeon, who commenced
the present Cathedral; Harvey, the first Bishop of Ely;
Bishop Northwold, who erected the Presbytery; and Alan de
Walsingham, the skilful architect of the Octagon. The
tracery contains medallions in which are pictured the
shrine of St. Etheldreda; Abbot Simeon laying the foundation
stone of the Cathedral; Alan de Walsingham and monks weeping
over the ruins of the central tower; the arms of the
University of Cambridge, of the See of Ely, of Bishop
Sparke, with other devices. Half the cost of this window was
defrayed by subscriptions from some graduates of the
University of Cambridge, and the other half by a portion of
the accumulation of the money given by Bishop Sparke[36] for
the east window.

completed until 1857; the amount had in the mean time
accumulated considerably, and proved sufficient to defray
the cost of the east window, of six windows in the
clerestory of the Choir, of the four windows of the
triforium of the Presbytery, and half the cost of the
north-west window of the Octagon.]

The window in the south-west angle also contains eight
figures in the four principal lights, arranged in the
following order--the Queen in her coronation robes; the
Prince Consort in his robes as Chancellor of the University
of Cambridge; and under these are represented Dr. Turton,
the then bishop, and Dr. Peacock, the then dean of Ely;
these figures being commemorative of the present extensive
restorations: the other four represent King Edward III. and
his queen Philippa, in whose reign the Oc
