_Watching the Sepulchre_ (Vol. i., pp. 318. 354. 403.).--In the parish
books of Leicester various entries respecting the Sepulchre occur. In
the year 1546, when a sale took place of the furniture of St. Martin's
Church, the "Sepulchre light" was sold to Richard Rainford for
21s. 10d. In the reign of Queen Mary gatherings were made for the
"Sepulchre lights;" timber for making the lights cost 5s.; the light
itself, 4s.; and painting the Sepulchre, and a cloth for "our lady's
altar," cost 1s. 10d. Facts like these might be multiplied.
