liaving transoms, the two lower ones having open arches with
passage ways. The upper portion is a beautiful specimen
of tracery in the most chaste and pure style of the Perpendicular.
The north aisle contains, amongst other monuments at the
east end,
A white marble mitred figure reclining on a pedestal,
with his head on his hand, in memory of Archbishop Sterne
(1683), great grandfather of the celebrated Lawrence Sterne.
The drapery of the figure is finely chiselled. He was chap-
Iain to the haughty Archbishop Laud, whom he attended on
the scaffold.
Under the second window is a white marble figure of Sir
George Saville (1784) leaning against a pillar, having a scroll
in his hand inscribed, " The petition of the freeholders of
the county of York." He represented the county in five
successive parliaments.
The large monument with naval ornaments is to the
memory of Vice-Admiral Henry Medley (1747).
Past this, is one of very massive proportions, in black and
white marble, to the memory of Charles, Earl of Carlisle
(1707), erected by his daughter, Lady Mary Fenwick, which
also commemorates the death of her husband in 1696, who
was executed for high treason.
One with two half-length figures to the first Sir William
Ingram, D.C.L. (1623), and his wife; also to the second
Sir William, LL.D. (1670).
The monument with figure kneeling at a desk is to the
memory of Henry Swinburne, LL.D. (1656).
The massive monument with figures kneeling, over
which is a canopy supported by three columns, is to the
memory of Sir Henry and Lady Bellasis (1630). The
inscription, which contains no date, states that he erected
the monument himself, and it concludes with an admonition
in Latin, thus translated : Death is certain, the day
of it is uncertain ;
there is no dependence on the care of
those that follow us ;
he is wise that prepares himself a tomb
—the habitual remembrance of death and judgment is the
best preservative from sin."
Here iron railings cross the aisle.
Near to an entrance to the crypt is the altar tomb of
Archbishop Savage (1507), with mitred figure. Above is
