No. 4.-In the south aisle, under the arch, is the tomb of Sir Richard Franks and his wife, of Alwoodley Hall. It is an alabaster knight with cropt hair, his face old and wrinkled, no beard nor whiskers, his head on an helmet, whose crest is...... ...., against the helmet a shield with a saltire G. His gorget is mail standing up and strapped round his neck; his armour plated, fastened with bows on the shoulder and elbow plates; his gauntlets half handed, reaching over his fingers, on each third finger a ring, and also on the middle and first fingers of the right hand; his sword gone, but the dagger remaining, and a lion at his feet. His lady, hid under the round arch, has a high coiffure, plaited in front, a plaited gorget up to her chin, her hands elevated resting on a stay, a ring on the third finger of the left hand, and a larger with a stone on the forefinger of the right, three cordons pendant; angels hold a cushion under her head; her toes stand up, and at her feet is a dog and one up the side of each foot. On the north side of the tomb, under eleven narrow arches with shields, are six women in mitred falling head-dresses with their hands elevated, and five men in plated armour. At the head four knights with daggers, one holds before him a poleaxe in his left hand. The east and south sides of this tomb are concealed by the walls of the church. It is in an excellent state of preservation and of most elaborate workmanship.

No. 5,-Is the tomb of Sir Richard Redman, Knt. and wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Wm. Gascoigne, of Gawthorpe, 1450. This Sir Richard is grandson of the previous Sir Richard Redman. It is an alabaster knight in flowing hair, stiff gorget of corded mail, collar of S.S.

P

and roses over the shoulders, the gauntlets undivided to the finger ends, helmet under his head, with the Redman crest, a horse's head; loops to the flaps of the plated armour, and under it mail. Under one sole reclines a hermit on his right arm, with a rosary in his left hand; the tail of the lion at his feet turns against the other sole, his spur is a point in the greave. His lady is dressed in a veil, with a wimple up to her chin, her mantle gracefully fastened on her breast by a lozenge; no rings, but a rosary from her arms, her round toes appear, and dogs hold up her robe at the sides.

The slab is embattled against the edges, but not above them, two angels hold a shield at the feet and are sided by St. Christopher and St. George, the shield of the latter is the neatest, and has a notch in each side. Two more angels hold a shield in the centre of the south side, sided by a bishop with a crosier blessing; St. Anthony with a book, rosary, staff and pig; a bishop with a crosier blessing; St. John with the palm, cup, and dragon; St. Lawrence with gridiron and book; a crowned saint with a ring and book, probably Edward the Confessor.

At the head of the tomb are two angels, sided by a crowned saint with arrows and book, St. Edmund; John the Baptist in a camel's skin, holding a lamb in his left hand and pointing to it with his right; and an old saint with a book.

At the north side some angels and saint with something like loaves and a book; two bishops with a crosier blessing; a nun with her hands elevated; a knight with his hands elevated, with his sword and dagger.

This tomb formerly stood in the north aisle, opposite the vestry door, but, when the organ was erected, it was removed to its present position. It will amply repay a careful examination, and is not nearly the finest monument in the church, but is allowed to be one of the finest and most elaborate pieces of workmanship of the kind in the kingdom. Gough in his "Sepulchral Monuments" (from whom these descriptions are partly taken) says that it exhibits the completest and most perfect collection of saints he ever saw.

No. 6,-Is the tomb of Sir William Gascoigne, Knt., of Gawthorpe, the immortal Lord Chief Justice, and Elizabeth, his wife, daughter of Sir W. Mowbray, Knt., 1419.

Gascoigne! thy tomb a fitting altar is,
Whereon to swear the patriot Englishman,
When he devotes him to his country's cause.
Reverently kneeling by this hallow'd marble,
He shall recall thy resolute worth, and draw
New virtue from the holy recollection.
Thine was the dauntless hand which dared chastise
E'en England's son, for England's outraged honor:
Bending him to her loftier majesty.

The noblest lesson ever taught a Prince
Whereby to value his expectant throne;
Proudly illustrated in after years.

Here liest thou well,

In this twice consecrated sanctuary,
Which Nature and Devotion join to bless,
And thy tomb, eloquent as thy storied deed
Hath yet a prevalent voice for England's weal;
When Harewood, with a filial reverence gazing,
Shall, e'en with worship, mingle thoughts of thee
And sin not.

Spencer's Vale of Bolton.

He is represented in a hood covering his ears, which are seen through, and falling in a flap at the sides of the face, his hair just appearing under it, his head reclining on a double cushion, supported by angels. He is habited in a cloak or mantle over his robes, buttoned on the right shoulder, the sleeves edged with ermine, and under it are buttoned straight sleeves down to the wrists; his belt hanging down is studded with roses, at his left side a purse hangs from it, neatly tied with tasseled strings; and at his right side an anelace. A lion couches at his feet.

His lady by his side has the reticulated head-dress, rather flattened on the forehead, and over it a circle of roses.

Her head rests on a double cushion supported by angels, her mantle has a deep falling cape, and is buttoned over the breast, and fastened with a broad belt and large buckle round the waist, which is short; the gown under it is plaited before; at her feet a collared dog of the greyhound kind lays his paws on her gown.

At the sides of the tomb five angels stand and hold two plain shields; two at the north side have something like az. on a pale sable impaling three lions or animals passant guardant, all in a border, or impaling a bend between something undistinguishable. At the feet two angels kneeling holding Old France and England quarterly.

Formerly a brass filletting surrounded this tomb with the following inscription: Hic jacet Williels Gascoigne nuper Capitalis Justiciarius de Banco Henrici nup' Regis Angliæ quarti, et Elizabeth uxor ejus. Qui quidem Willielm obiit die Dominica 17 die Decembris, A.D., 1419.

"Here lies William Gascoigne, late Chief Justice of the Bench of Henry the Fourth, King of England, and Elizabeth, his wife; which William died on Sunday, the 17th day of December, in the year of our Lord, 1419." Lord Campbell in his lives of the Chief Justices says "that his tomb represents him in a kneeling posture between his two wives." This error has arisen from the fact, not generally known, that formerly there was a brass of the Chief Justice between his two wives, (for by reference to the account of the Gascoigne family it will be seen that he was married twice) inserted in the south wall of the
