     summary: Sir James Harrington, writing in the reign of James I, tells a curious story of their loss: The pavement of Coventry church is almost all tombstones, and some very ancient, but there came in a zealous fellow with a counterfeit commission, that for avoiding superstition, hath not left one pennyworth nor penny breadth of brass upon all the tombs, of all the inscriptions, which had been many and costly. Glass, ancient, 56. Old church, position of, 42. Organ, 55. Porch, south, 34.

     summary: This is exactly what one would expect to find: a central tower is almost always found in Norman churches, especially collegiate churches; and the pyramidal roof was almost certainly the usual form in which these early towers were finished. Next comes the #North Porch#, with a chamber above it--here, as in many other churches, the chief entrance into the building.

     summary: At the crossing of the old avenue with the stream of present traffic, in a city which, for obvious reasons, will not be identified by the writer of these pages, there stood--and still stands--the Church of Saint Agatha's. Saint Agatha's has long been distinguished for three things, its money, its music, and its soundness.

     summary: The abrupt change in glass windows which took place at the beginning of the fourteenth century becomes less extraordinary when we recapitulate the various discoveries in the art and realise what an effect must have been caused by such a combination as that of (_a_) the chance-revealed yellow stain; (_b_) domestic use which required glass fit for small, well-lighted interiors; (_c_) Very interesting conclusions may be reached if we place side by side three figures, one taken from thirteenth century glass, another from a Limoges enamel made any time from the tenth to the thirteenth century, and the third from the famous mosaics of St. Mark's in Venice.
