Tho' Edward III. was interred in the
same grave as the Queen, he has a monu-
ment erected for him adjoining to hers,
covered with a Gothic canopy.  The ef-
figy of this Prince, who died June 21
1377, lies on a tomb of grey marble, and
at his head are placed the shield and sword
carried before him in France: the latter is
seven feet long, and weighs eighteen
pounds.  This tomb was, like the former,
surrounded with statues, particularly with
those of his children.

marble, and upon it is placed his statue;
but what is very remarkable, it lies with-
out the head.  Your guides say, that the
body is heart of oak, and the head of beat-
en silver; as were also the scepter and
other ensigns of royalty with which this
statue was adorned; but that the value of
these occasioned their being sacrilegiously
taken away.  This is by some writers repre-
sented at a ridiculous tale.  Over this tomb
is a chauntry chapel, in which the weapons,
