SUPPLEMENT

TO VOLUME LXXXIX. PART II.

Embellished with an Interior View of the PORCH of St. SEPULCHRE'S CHURCH, London; the venerable BEDE'S CHAIR; autient TILES, RING, &c.

THE

Mr. URBAN, June 1819. THE annexed Drawing (see the Plate), is an interior View of the Porch, at the South-West entrance of St. Sepulchre's Church, near the Old Bailey.

Stow mentions, respecting this Church, that it was re-edified or new boilt about the reign of Henry VI. or Edward IV. One of the Pophams was a great builder there; namely, of one fair Chapel on the South side of the choir, as appeared formerly by his arms, and other monuments in the glass windows thereof, and also of the fair porch of the same Church towards the South; over which porch his image fairly graven in stone was fixed, but now defaced and beaten down."

parts of the vaulting are foliage,
knots, and various whimsical devices.
Yours, &c.

Mr. URBAN, South Shields, Feb. \. SEND you a Sketch of one of the most antieut seats in existence, the Chair of the venerable Bede (see Fig. 2.) in Jarrow Church, near to this place.

The Chair is four feet ten inches high; two feet four inches wide in front; the depth of the seat is one foot six inches. The arms and back frame are solid oak, three inches and a half square. The back consists of four boards an inch and a half thick, all carved or cut with initials and dates. The arms are constantly reducing by the curious cutting small portions from this venerable relick. The whole consists of eleven pieces of wood. J. R.

ings, Dec. 4, 1817.

Inside the Porch are at present two niches, with kneeling figures; that over the doorway, next the street, has a male figure with flowing beard; and under the base, or small platform of the niche, is a bird with wings expanded; in that over the SEND you an exact copy of an opposite doorway, as expressed in Inscription and Drawing on some the Drawing, is a female figure hold- tiles which are placed over the door ing a book; and under this niche is of the parish church at Stone in Woran oval shield, with a cross and dag-cestershire (see Fig. 3). I hope it ger sculptured thereon, in resemblance will meet the eye of some person who of the City arms. will be good enough to give it an explanation.

On the East side are two windows, the compartments of which contain nothing remarkable; but the ribbed vaulting to the ceiling is handsome. At two of the intersections are angels supporting shields; one of them has a saltire: in the lower division is a crescent, and in each of the three others, a dagger; the other shield has a chevron, and a fleur-de-lis in the lower division. At one other intersection is a wreath of foliage surrounding a shield, on which is a fers, and under it a bird. In other GENT. MAC. Suppl. LXXXIX. PART II, A

Mr. URBAN, Pentonville, Sept. 9. NONSIDERING the inclosed may be entitled to some attention, as tending to demonstrate the almost universal prevalence of Heraldry previous to the sixteenth century; I send you a sketch of two painted tiles or bricks (see Figs. 4 and 5), such as composed the beautiful and highly ornamental armorial pavements of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, and which formed, when con

nected and arranged, a rich and curious display of various design, exhibiting the arms of founders of, and benefactors to, our antient ecclesias-, tical edifices, such are now to be observed before the high altars of Gloucester Cathedral and Great Malvern Church; and it is believed the use of them was exclusively confined to religious structures. The examples I have inclosed show the arms of Beauchamp and of Edward the Confessor, in two colours, a dusky red and very bright yellow. In shape they are equilateral, one inch and a quarter in thickness, and five inches and a half

Great Surrey Street, Mr. URBAN, May 28. SEND you a Drawing of an antient gold Finger-Ring; also of the impression on the head of the same (see Fig. 6); which Ring was found by some labourers lately at work hoeing turnips in a field at Bayfield, near Holt in Norfolk, supposed to have been thrown up by the plough; the gold is of the purest kind, very thick, and weighs eleven penny weights; within the interior of the circle of the Ring, in old Eng. lish characters, are cut the following

words:

"Al: is: God : wele."

Mr. URBAN,

As

S many of your Correspondents may feel anxious to preserve the remains of our antient ecclesiastical buildings, I hope the following hint may find its way into your va luable Publication.

While we are pursuing with laudable zeal, the preservation of our Churches by timely repairs, particu larly in the roofs, windows, &c.; the lower part of the walls are shamefully neglected, because the earth and rubbish are allowed to accumulate, from time to time, above the pavement, and the consequence is, that the walls are frequently damp, not only to the injury of the buildings, but liable to endanger the health of those who attend divine service. I have been led to this observation, by lately visiting the Cathedral of Norwich (the inside of which, within these few years, had been completely cleaned), where I was much struck by the appearance of the beautiful Norman columns on the North side of the nave, which are completely damp, owing, no doubt, to the accumulation of earth several feet above the original level since the time of Bishop Herbert, the founder of the Church. This is most evident from the discovery of one of the bases of the columns below the surface of the ground. All these defects may easily be remedied by clearing away the soil in a slanting direction, and making a drain a few inches below the pavement of the Church; and when it is considered the heavy expence of repairing our religious buildings, par ticularly the rottenness of the joists and floors in the pews, not forgetting the decay of pannels, owing to dampness; surely the expence of clearing away the soil, and conducting the rain-water, will be considered very trifling, when compared to the great damage done to the structure by suffering the earth to remain.

which I conceive may imply," All is, God willing." The impression on the head of the Ring is a shield with arms emblazoned, Argent, two bars Gules, in chief a mullet pierced Sable. By a reference to the College of Arms, I find that the arms on this shield were not for the first time granted, but confirmed by Camden, then Clarenceux King at Arms, on the 22d of June, 1605, as appertaining to Sir Francis South of Fotherby and Kelsterue, co. Lincoln, Knight. From the shape of the shield, the Ring cannot be older than the time of Edward I.; but from the language These remarks also apply to many and form of the letters cut within the other religious structures in various circle of it, should refer it to that of parts of the country. It is a subject Edward III. certainly not later than which calls aloud for reformation,

Henry V. Whether any of the de- and it is hoped that the Clergy and
