ly four against pillars in the nave (a bracket on a pillar on the
north side marks the position of one), and apparently one in the south
part of the west transept. If this enumeration is correct there were not
less than twenty-two. There seems also to have been an altar in the
hearse over Queen Katherine's tomb; and, though no mention of them
occurs, we should suppose there must have been one on each side of the
entrance beneath the rood-loft.

Two altar-stones only have been found. One is marked on a plan made
about 180 years ago as being laid down in the choir a little to the east
of where the eagle lectern now stands. It was subsequently taken up,
sawn into three pieces, and placed beneath the arch leading from the
western transept to the south aisle. Some twenty-five years ago it was
again removed from the pavement and is preserved elsewhere. The five
crosses are large and deeply cut, and are in the form of
cross-crosslets. The other has been taken up from the pavement in the
eastern chapel. It is a very curious example, and one that might well
escape notice. The stone is of the usual size, and uninscribed. It is
much worn by constant treadings, and the five crosses are nearly
obliterated, though quite distinctly to be seen. But instead of there
being, as usual, one in each corner of the stone, or nearly so, all the
five are towards the centre of the stone, within a space of about two
square feet. There is also an extra cross on the front edge. This stone
is now used for the altar in S. Oswald's Chapel, in the south transept,
refitted in 1900.

Of =Stained Glass= the only ancient examples are some fragments that
have been collected from different parts of the church, mostly as it
seems from the cloister, and put together in two central windows in the
apse. These are well worth observing with care. No scenes of course can
be made out, but the faces, when examined closely, are found to be
singularly good. Most of the pieces formed portions of a window or
series of windows representing incidents in the life of S. Peter. This
is apparent from the few words that can still be made out on the labels,
which are all fragments of texts referring to that Saint. The large
west window is in memory of soldiers of Northamptonshire who fell during
the South African War, 1899-1902; the window has five lights in two
tiers; in the upper are representations of King Peada, S. Paul, S.
Peter, S. Andrew, and Bishop Ethelwold; in the lowe
