ful figure, with exquisitively fine drapery that looks as thin as gauze. _Missing._ 181. _North Side of Tower.--Buttress._ Robert, Archbishop of Canterbury, standing, holding book in right hand, left hand gone; no mitre. 182. Q. Elgiva, drapery falls from left shoulder, is folded over right arm; book in left hand. 183. Q. Edgitha. Tall, gaunt figure; veil falls in long folds to knee, right arm close to side, left hand holds cord. 184. Q. Edburga, circlet round head, brooch on her breast, holds drapery in right hand. _Missing._ _Missing._ 185. Christina, Abbess of Romsey.* Beautiful female figure, holding box in left hand: "her dress is peculiar": one end of veil is caught over right shoulder, the other falls down in front on right side (p. 31). 186. Wulston of Winchester, bearded, "with distended ears"; right hand gone. 187. _Buttress._ Archb. Aldred of York, sitting; "mitre modern," it is conical in shape. 188. Edgar Atheling. Knight, spurred, in surcoat only, with sword girded outside, no mail, but close-fitting cap and fillet on head: the fillet was used for the large cylindrical helmet to rest on. He carries what may be a palmer's hat (Cockerell points out that Edgar went on a pilgrimage); but Planche says it must be a small Saxon buckler, as pilgrims did not carry swords. It certainly looks like a hat. 189. Robert the Saxon. Knight in hauberk, without mail, but feet spurred, cap on head, shield and sword. 190. Falk of Anjou. Knight in hauberk and chausses of mail, hood of hauberk enclosing whole head except a portion of the face: on head is the thick fillet. He covers his body with a shield. His surcoat is deeply jagged. 191. Robert of Normandy. Knight, in hauberk and complete suit of mail, in good preservation, shield with boss on it held down: he wears cyclindrical helmet, his eyes and nose being visible through the slit. 192. _Buttress._ B. Roger of Salisbury, sitting, without mitre. _Missing._ _Missing._ 193. Female figure, holding drapery with right arm, left hand on side. 194. St. Nicholas, the patron saint of baptism, stands in water up to knees, holding a child in each arm. This ascription is approved by Planche. (He is commonly called by children "the pancake man," the conventional water suggesting round cakes). 195. Female figure, in good preservation, but clamped in a sloping position, drapery good.
