Abstract
Until within the last few years there lay about on the floor of the north transept of Winchester Cathedral, along with other relics of a miscellaneous character, a considerable number of fragments of medieval sculpture. They had presumably been collected gradually, but no doubt comparatively recently, from various parts of the Cathedral Close. Soon after his installation, however, the present Dean took steps to have these fragments cared for, and he entrusted me with the task of arranging and cataloguing them. They are now, with one or two exceptions, housed in that interesting south triforium of the south transept. It is with this collection of fragments that I deal in this paper, to the exclusion of other sculpture, such as monumental effigies. I am able to illustrate my notes by photographs of several individual pieces kindly taken for me by our friends and your Fellows Mr. C. J. P. Cave and Mr. Arthur Gardner, and by four general views (pls. XLV, XLVI) by my fellow citizen Mr. Salmon, showing the collection as at present arranged. I have been much helped by discussion with friends.
