A history of Shrewsbury School : from the Blakeway mss., and many other sources . . IHSrllN 1,1 . AMirl A.,^. The meinorial section of the Chapel cost upwards of £;],5()(), and tlie re-maining part between £4,000 and £5,000, chiefly contributed by Old Salopians. The Chapel it-self provides accom-modation for 500boys, besides masters,visitors, and of the fittingsof the old Chapel,including the pre-served for the newone, and it is hardlylikely that any of theold traditions thatsurrounded them willbe lost. The Chapelis of stone, relievedwith white Portland,Bath, and GrinshillStone, and consists of five bays, each of which contains a triple lancet lightThe centre one is the highest, an arrangement we generally find in the bestearly-thirteenth century work. These lights are placed under a relievingarch which springs from buttress to buttress. The plinth mouldings arevery excellent, and the general effect on entering the sacred building is verystriking. The seats in the nave are of pitch pine, neatly An illustration of the exterior is given, and all the details will shewthe originality of an architect who has studied for himself. At the west end is a handsome stained glass window in memoryof the Rev. J. Rigg, , the late Second Master, erected by subscriptionsfrom his many friends. 238 In the chancel are four small stained glass windows, to the memorj ofboys who have died at School. The inscriptions on the brass plates beneaththe windows are as follows :— In Jlemory of G. M. Fowler, In ilemoiy of T. R.
