^{page 311 note 1} The establishment of a chantry by the Percy family in 1364, later appropriated by Archbishop Thoresby for his own salvation, must have been a case of getting in on the ground floor, as it could not possibly have functioned at the east end of the lady chapel until at least the end of the decade.

^{page 311 note 2} Harrison, says that this shield ‘should not be where it is’ (Friends Annual Report (1933), p. 28).Google Scholar I am not clear as to what he meant by that. It was certainly there in Dugdale's time.

^{page 311 note 3} All the tinctures on the shields in the eastern arm are modern, and must not of themselves be allowed to influence the heraldic identifications. They were put on in 1933 with the authority of Clarenceux, King of Arms (Ibid. (1934), p. 24). Although Dugdale is said to have been the authority for Clarenceux's rulings, Dugdale gives tinctures for only six of the forty-eight shields—one on the north side and five in the south-eastern transept.

The facts are that over the west door one shield is of England before 1340 (i.e. three leopards in pale) and the other bears six lioncels. In the choir the shield of France Ancient naturally does not appear at all. It occurs in the nave, however, in both stone and stained glass.

John de Neweton was Treasurer from 1393 to 1414 (Jones, B., Fasti Ecclesiae Anglicanae, 1300–1541, vi, Northern Province (1963), 14).Google Scholar It is only fair to point out that in the nave the eastern bay, where the shield appears with a small horn, is also a narrow bay, but the two items together look very squashed, even though part of the horn has been broken off. The intrusion of a horn into the small eastern bay of the lady chapel may not have commended itself to the symmetrically minded Perpendicular masons.

^{page 314 note 3} A case could perhaps be argued that the shield represents the Mowbrays through their descent from Joan, daughter of Henry earl of Lancaster, but I can find no instance of such a usage before 1396–7 (Birch, op. cit., iii, 286, 288–9), and even then there are no fleur-de-lys on the label.

Knowles (op. cit., p. 220) suggested that he gave the money between Scrope's death on 8th June 1405 and his own on 24th March 1406, but this seems less likely. It is even possible that the gift goes back to 1396 when Skirlaw was associated with the heraldic redecoration of the Vestibule to the Chapter House in honour of Richard II. See J. H.

^{page 317 note 4} By Milner-White, in Friends Annual Report (1958), pp. 31–2.Google Scholar He judged thequality of the painting and of the glass itself to be poor, the latter due to the ‘difficulty of securing glass of better quality from the continent during the French Wars’. It is not clear why the glass should have been of any better quality three years later, and the argument is of doubtful validity.
