On the shield arethree water bougets, the bearing of the Ros family. The last figure]: is supposed to be intended for William Marshall,second earl of Pembroke, who died April 6, 1231. Adjoining the last effigy is a coffin-shaped slab,§ rising to anedge in the centre. It has been assigned to William Plantagenet,fifth son of Henry III. who died in his infancy, and was buriedhere about 1256. The next monument which claims attention is a pontificallyhabited figure, at the east end of the south aisle of the Monument of a Bishop in the Temple is extended on an altar, with a crosier in his left hand, and isgiving the benediction with his right hand. This ancient monumenthas been assigned to the patriarch Heraclius, who died at Acre, in *Fig. 7. t J Fig. 9. ^ Fig. 10. HISTORY OF LONDON. 399 the year 1191; but there is no proof existing that that ecclesias-tics remains were ever brought to this country. Mr. Gough,*with greater probability, conceives it to be the effigy of Sylvester deEverdon, bishop of Carlisle, and some time chancellor of England,who was undoubtedly buried in this edifice in 1255. At the repairin 1811, an entire skeleton was discovered beneath this effigy,within a leaden envelope, placed in a stone chest, or coffin, of aboutten feet in length and three feet in height. Fragments of garments,and portions of a crosier were found, but no episcopal ring. In the south-east corner
