Ow to William Smith (d. 1849), Professor of Modern History at Cambridge.
In the tenth bay (marked 2 on plan) is the altar tomb, with panelled
sides, to Sir John Hobart (d. 1507), Attorney-General to Henry VII.
#Monuments in South Aisle of Nave# from the west.--In the sixth bay is a
memorial window by Wailes to members of the Hales family. In the seventh
bay (marked 3 on plan) is the tomb of Chancellor Spencer; the rents of
the dean and chapter were formerly paid here. The ninth bay (marked 4 on
plan) contains the altar tomb of Bishop Parkhurst (1560-74).
[Illustration: The East Walk of the Cloisters.] #The Cloisters# and
destroyed monastic buildings.--The cloisters are on the south side of
the cathedral, the interior garth being about 145 feet square.
[Illustration: The Cloisters from the Garth.] The original Norman
cloisters, which were probably of a wooden construction, were destroyed
by the fire of 1272; and the work of building the present cloisters was
commenced by Bishop Walpole (1289-99) about 1297, but they were not
completely finished until 1430, in the time of Bishop Alnwyck (1426-36).
They present an interesting, and, at the same time, complex study of the
development of the styles during the one hundred and thirty-three years
which passed during their erection; a paper by the Rev. D.J. Stewart
(published in vol. 32 of the _Archaeological Journal_) goes minutely
into their construction, and the several parts the various bishops of
Norwich played in their design. Those who wish to study this part of the
cathedral thoroughly cannot do better than refer to this paper. It will
be noticed that, despite the lengthy period occupied in the construction
of the cloisters, the result is in no way inharmonious; it is only in
the detail, and especially the open tracery to the bays, that the
difference of style is very perceptible. Counting the angle severies as
in each walk, it will be noticed that there are fourteen severies on the
east side; and thirteen on the other three. Each is nearly square on
plan, and vaulted over with horizontal longitudinal and transverse ribs,
between which occur diagonals and _tiercerons_; with carved bosses at
the intersections. The piers carrying the vaults consist of groups of
separate cylindrical shafts of Purbeck marble. On the three sides--east,
west, and south--there are separate storeys of apartments over the vau
