^{page 126 note 1} An illustration in Parker's Glossary (1840), pl. 64, has the interrogatory caption, ‘Bishop Stapledon? Exeter Cathedral’. It shows the effigy of a bishop, apparently Stapledon, under the canopy of Sir Richard Stapledon's tomb, with feet towards the west. Britton (1826), pl. xvii, shows Sir Richard's tomb and the attendant figures as they exist to-day.

^{page 126 note 2} Possibly by Kendall: ‘additional work at the base of the stalls [sedilia] and tomb’ is mentioned in the account for his altar-screen (p. 253).

^{page 128 note 1} Stapledon was Lord Treasurer in Edward II's reign. An ‘Ordinance by the Dean and Chapter admitting Edward II and Isobella his queen and their children to the fraternity of the church’, 25 March 1315, is noted in the Report on the D. and C. Records, Hist. MSS. Com., p. 75.

^{page 128 note 2} History of the Cathedral Church, Exeter, p. 135 and note. The preface of the book suggests a probable explanation: Britton complains of discourtesy experienced in Exeter, and returned to London leaving his three helpers to complete the investigations for his book. Britton may never have seen the figure and have trusted the description given him.

^{page 129 note 1} Shown in pl. ix, History of the Cathedral Church, Exeter, Britton. These walls were removed by Sir Gilbert Scott by direction of the dean and chapter, but much against his will.

^{page 129 note 2} The objects were: pieces of the vine-leaf cresting of the tomb; a small fragment of a late rendering of a trefoil leaf, probably fourteenth century; a small fragment of a medieval glazed paving tile (too small to distinguish the pattern or date); a carved acorn (stone) about 2 in. long; several cusp terminations sawn off the parclose screen; a small piece of deal with a charred end, and a fragment of rush similar to those used for seating chairs.
