THE CLOSE. 215 built by Thomas Chesterfield, one of the Canons,in 1458; this was replaced by a new hall in1757, which was a large and commodious room;it now forms part of a private dwelling- house. On the west side of the Close is the house ofthe Subchapter, Rev. John Fletcher Muckleston, Great improvements have been made in thethe general appearance of the close; at the westend were yew trees and a raised terrace, ascend-ed by steps; at the east, a cottage and garden;a miry lane led from the south gate to the palace,and the trees in the Deans walk were clippedinto arches. A considerable sum is annually applied fromthe fabric fund, to the repair and restoration of thechurch; a stained window for the south transeptis in the hands of the artist, and we may hope,in a short time, to see the west front regain agreat portion of its pristine Xrtiltx.
