A collection of English examples alone would make a long list. Besides the
well-known one (A.D. 1480) in the outer court of Magdalene College, Oxford,
the following are noted in the last edition of the Oxford _Glossary_,
viz:--Beaulieu, Hants (A.D. 1260); Beverley; Chester; Abbey Garden,
Shrewsbury: these are in refectories of monasteries. In churches--at
Cirencester; Coombe, Oxon (circa A.D. 1370); Frampton, Dorset (circa A.D.
1450); Trinity Church, Coventry (circa A.D. 1470): the latter appears from
the cut to be stone.
In the second edition of the _Glossary_ is also St. Peter's, Oxon (circa
1400).
Devonshire abounds in good samples: see _Trans. of Exeter Architectural
Society_, vol. i., at table of plates, and the engraved plates of three
very rich specimens, viz. Harberton, Chittlehampton, North Molton, each of
which is encircled by canopied niches with statues.
At North Petherton, in Somersetshire, is a curious grotesque human figure
of stone, crouched on the floor, supporting the pulpit (which is of wood,
as I think) upon his shoulders, Atlas-like.
