s composed of a soft white stone, found near
Cambridge; the rest that we have mentioned, is oak, very finely carved
in the decorated style of architecture. The bishop's throne especially,
with its ogee canopies, and elegant and almost fairy-like spire, rivets
the eye of the spectator. The _coup d'oeil_ of the choir is so
strikingly beautiful, from the good arrangement and entire keeping of
the whole, that it can scarcely be surpassed.

At the east end, immediately under the large window, are three tablets
with the names of all the Abbots, Bishops, and Deans from the
foundation of the monastery to the present time, of which the following
is a copy:--
