(1274), to touch which was once held to be an infallible remedy for toothache (see grotesque on a capital in S. transept); (2) modern recumbent effigy of Bishop Hervey (d. 1894); (3) Bishop Beckington (1464), with skeleton beneath (cp.  Frome); (4) Bishop Harewell (1386), builder of S.W. tower; observe hare at his feet (cp. sugar loaves in Sugar’s chantry).  In the Chapel of St John the Evangelist—­a sort of choir transept—­(1) Dean Gunthorpe (1475), builder of the Deanery; observe Dec. piscina in E. wall; (2) Bishop Drokensford (1309-29), builder of the Lady Chapel; (3) shrine of unknown person.  In N. choir aisle, Bishop Ralph de Salopia (1363), builder of the choir (possibly removed here from the sanctuary).  The effigies of the Saxon bishops in the choir aisles were probably an after-thought of Bishop Joceline, who perhaps thought that this tardy testimonial to the labours of his predecessors would be an effective advertisement of the priority of his see.  The labelled stone coffins of Dudoc and Giso are said to have been unearthed within recent memory.  In S. transept aisle are (1) Bishop Still (1608); (2) Bishop Kidder, Ken’s successor, killed by the fall of the palace chimney-stack during a memorable storm in 1703; (3) against N. wall, Bishop T. Cornish (1513)—­a tomb supposed to have been used as an Easter sepulchre (cp.  Pilton).  The visitor should now inspect the cloisters, and should observe in passing the fine external E.E. doorway ruthlessly obscured by the Perp. vaulting.  The cloisters form a covered ambulatory leading from the S. transept to the S.W. corner of the nave.  Bishop Joceline, Bishop Bubwith’s executors, and Bishop Beckington all seem to have had a hand in their construction; Beckington has stamped his rebus on some of the bosses of the roof.  The cathedral library forms an upper storey to the E. cloister, and a corresponding chamber runs the length of the cloister opposite, now used as a choir practising room.  Note in E. cloister (1) external lavatories, (2) doorway in E. wall leading to a quiet little burial-ground.  This was the site of an additional lady chapel (late Perp.) built by Bishop Stillington (1466-91).  It was destroyed at the instigation of Bishop Barlow by Sir John Gates, a fanatical Puritan, the wrecker of the palace hard by.  Some fragments of the vaulting are piled up in the cloisters, and a few traces of panelling remain on the exterior face of the doorway.  The burial-ground is a good position from which to view the external features of the choir.  The high architectural merit of Bishop Ralph’s work will be quickly discerned, and due note should be taken of the skilful way in which a structural necessity has been turned to artistic advantage in the erection of the flying buttresses.  In the earlier work they exist, but are hidden away as unsightly props beneath the roof of the aisles.  Their artistic possibilities having caught the eye of the builder, they are here brought out into the light, and form
