Notes
Content: Written on border: "Mar. 1875" Printed on border: "By Llewellynn Jewitt, F.S.A." "The stalls in Norwich Cathedral are sixty-two in number, being intended for the prior, the subprior, and sixty monks. They are exceedingly rich and elaborate in character, of the perpendicular period, and probably of the fifteenth century. The misereres are of two periods; those of the earlier part of the fifteenth century being characterized by sharp angles to the ledge or seat, and those of the latter part of the same century by having it rounded at its sides and sinking inwards at the centre." Includes additional text.
