On the north side of this chapel is the
tomb of Henry III. the pannels are of
polish'd porphyry, and around them is mo-
saic work of gold and scarlet.  At the cor-
ners of the table are twisted pillars, gilt,
and enamell'd, and upon it is placed the ef-
figy of that King in brass gilt, finely exe-
cuted.  He died in 1272, aged 65, after
a troublesome reign of 56 years.

At the feet of the last mentioned Prince
lies the effigy of Eleanor, Queen to Ed-
ward I.  On the sides of this monument
are engraven the arms of Castile and Leon,
quarterly, and those of Ponthieu, hang-
ing on vines and oak-trees, and round the
copper verge is embossed this inscription in
Saxon characters;

It is remarkable, that the body of this
Queen was only interred here, and that
her heart was placed in the choir of the
friars predicants in London.

There is also here a large plain coffin of
grey marble, composed of seven stones,
four of which form the sides, two the ends,
and one the cover.  This rough unpolished
tomb encloses the body of the glorious
King Edward I. just mentioned, who was
born on the 17th of June 1239.  He was
named Edward, in honour of Edward the
Confessor, and afterwards surnamed Long
Shanks, from his tall and slender habit of
body.  This brave Prince died on the 7th
of July 1307, aged 68.

In this chapel is a tomb of black mar-
ble, to the memory of Philippa, the third
daughter to William Earl of Heinault,
and Queen to King Edward III. who be-
stowed a profusion of expence on her tomb,
round which were placed as ornaments,
the brazen statues of no less than thirty
