Chichester from Selsea.  They were discovered in 1829 hidden in the wall behind the woodwork of the stalls in the choir, and were subsequently placed in their present position.  The subject of the one nearest to the transept is the “Raising of Lazarus,” and of the other, “Our Lord with Mary and Martha at Bethany.”  These are two of the most interesting relics of earlier days that remain in the cathedral.  Historically and artistically, they are of much value, but at present no more than has been stated is known about them.  Bishop Sherborne’s monument (18) was built during his lifetime, and at his death he provided for its care by New College, of which he had been a fellow.  It is still well cared for; but with its original decorations it must have been a very beautiful object.

Dean Hook, who died in 1875, is commemorated by a monument (19) opposite Sherborne’s.  It was designed by Sir Gilbert Scott, and, like the pavements of the choir, it has in its composition many specimens of coloured marbles.  Much of the detail is executed in mosaic.  Under the arch of the presbytery arcade nearest to the reredos, on the south side, is Bishop Day’s tomb (20).  On the south side of the lady-chapel, close to the entrance, are the memorial slabs of two early bishops, perhaps Hilary and John de Greneford, beneath the arch where Bishop Gilbert’s effigy was placed.  On the opposite side is a space under an arch in which may be traced the lines of some decoration which once ornamented some memorial.  Upon the floor below is the memorial of Bishop Ralph (21), the builder of the first portions of the cathedral.  Close by is a large wall tablet in memory of Bishop Thomas Bickley.  It is a design of the seventeenth-century period, and is interesting of its kind.  Under the arch on the north side of the presbytery, opposite Day’s tomb, is that of Bishop Christopherson or Curteys (22), and against the wall of the aisle near the chapel of S. Catharine is a curious marble slab with some carving upon it.  It represents two hands, with parts of the arms, supporting a heart, and the full inscription, now almost gone, was “ICY GIST LE COEUR DE MAUDDE” ("Here lies the heart of Maud").  It is evidently work of an early date, but nothing is accurately known of its history, though it has been assumed that it was made in the twelfth or thirteenth century (23).  To the west of this is a bust of Bishop Otter (24).  In an arched recess in the wall nearer to the library is the tomb and effigy of Bishop Storey (25).  Close to this are two memorials of the sixteenth century.  On the west side of the north transept are the monuments of Bishops Henry King, Carleton, and Grove.
