ADDITIONS TO THE FIRST VOLUME.

Peterhouse.

p. 19, 1. 8. Professor Willis has left the following note on the doorway at the south end of the hall-screen: "It [the doorway] belongs in fact to the thirteenth century, and is earlier in style than the foundation of the college. Standing as it does on the ground bought from the Friars of the Penitence in 1307, it must, with part of the wall of the hall adjacent to it, be considered as a portion of their buildings which was appropriated to the use of the college."

p. 49. Eight windows in the chapel, four on each side, are now (1886) filled with Munich glass. The following list gives the subjects in each window, beginning with the westernmost window on the north side :

S. Peter and S. John healing the lame man at the Beautiful Gate of

p. 99. The statement (1. 21) that John Westley died in 1656 is disproved by an entry in the register of the parish church of S. Benedict, Cambridge:

"John Westly buryed from S. Buttolphe decemb. the 22. 1644."

The bursar, Mr Oley, was ejected from his fellowship in April of the same year, and, as he has himself recorded (p. 99, note), "was forced away by the warrs." His absence from

Cambridge, if not from England, will account for the long delay in settling accounts with Westley's widow, which, as stated in the text, did not take place until 1656.

Pembroke College.

p. 147. The following contemporary record of the consecration of the chapel is worth quotation :

"Cambridge, Sept. 23, [1665]. Upon the beginning of this Month, you gave us advice of a new Church erected at Plymouth; and now toward the end of it you may take notice of another memorable work of the like piety and charity.

A new Chappel in Pembroke Hall in this University, founded by the Right Reverend Father in God, Matthew Lord Bishop of Ely; which being now raised to just and gracefull proportions, and being by his singular liberality, not only beautified with a splendid and decorous Furniture, but also amply endowed with an annual Revenue, was upon the Feast of St Matthew, being the 21. Instant, and in the 28. year of his Lordships second Translation (from Norwich to the See of Ely), and in the eightieth year of his Age, by himself in person, and by his Episcopal Authority, solemnly consecrated and dedicated to the honour of Almighty God. A noble and lasting Monument of the rare piety and munificence of that great and wise Prelate, and in every point accorded to his Character: which is so well known, that the sole nomination of the Founder is a sufficient accompt of the elegance and magnificence of the Foundation. The Vice Chancellor, and several Masters of Colleges, the Heads of the University, with the Dean and Canons of Ely, were present at this sacred Solemnity; which was celebrated with signal Instances of a high devotion. Before Evening service, the Exterior Chappel, and the Cloyster leading to it (a new Erect of Sir Robert Hitcham Foundation) were by his Lordship also consecrated, for places of sepulture to the use of the Society, together with a Cell at the East end of the Chappel under the Altar, for a Dormitory for his Lordship. And now this great Prelate having paid his vows to the Almighty, and given order with the holy Patriarch Joseph, for his Interment, he betakes himself with the devout Simeon, to his Nunc dimittis; leaving it doubtful whether he has signalized his name more by the greatness of his sufferings, or the glory of his Actions, whether he were a more loyal Subject to his Prince, or a devout Father of the Church: I shall only add to this accompt, that by the blessing of a singular Providence all the Colleges have hitherto continued without any suspicion of Contagion'."

1 From: The Intelligencer, published for satisfaction and information of the people; for Monday, 2 October, 1665 (No 80), p. 945. This extract was kindly sent to me by my friend Henry Bradshaw, M.A., Fellow of King's College, and University Librarian.

The chapel was not "dedicated to the Saint who bore his own name, Matthew," as stated in the text. In the Act of Consecration (preserved in the Treasury of Pembroke College) Bishop Wren says: "we consecrate this chapel to the honour of God, under the title or name of The New Chapel"; and the only connection of it with S. Matthew was that the ceremony of consecration took place on his day, 21 September.

p. 153. The extensive series of alterations by Mr Waterhouse having been completed, several further questions demanded attention. In the first place, the number of undergraduates had increased so largely, that additional rooms, with an extension of the chapel, were required; and, secondly, it was necessary to come to some decision respecting the old library, and the old court generally, part of the west side of which had been left bare by the removal of the south range which abutted against it. Under these circumstances the following Order was made:

"13 June, 1878. It was agreed to authorise the Treasurer to consult Mr Gilbert Scott as to the front building in Trumpington Street, the Chapel (an apse suggested), and the old Library: and also as to a detached block of new buildings on the site of the Tennis Court etc. facing Tennis Court Road."

Mr Scott's plans were ready by the end of 1879, as shewn by the following Order, made 10 October :

"1. That Mr Scott's plans for the Chapel be accepted, and that he be authorised to commence the work as soon as convenient.

2.

That Mr Scott's plans for the west side of the first Court be also accepted.

3. That Mr Scott's plans for the north side of the first Court, as far as the east end of the kitchen (with certain alterations so as to give attics over the Library), be approved, it being left to Mr Scott's discretion to introduce any modifications which he may think desirable, and which may be approved by the College.

4. That Mr Scott be requested to prepare revised plans for the New Hostel, with one more staircase to the west of the building of his present plan, with the view to ultimately pulling down all the Pembroke Street Houses."

These revised plans were accepted in the following December1, and the work was at once commenced. It may be concluded

1 "6 December, 1879. It was agreed that Mr Scott's plans for the new Hostel be accepted, subject to minor alterations, and that the work be commenced as soon as conveniently may be."

from the last paragraph of the following Order that it had been originally intended to pull down the old library, notwithstanding the historical interest attaching to it, and the beauty of the ceiling and fittings.

"17 May, 1880. The following modifications in Mr Scott's plans were approved:

I.

a little.

2.

That the roof of the west side of the first court should be raised

That a turret should be erected at the N.E. corner of the first court, according to the plan submitted.

3. That an oriel-window facing the garden should be made in the new hostel on the first floor at the south end.

4. A strong representation having been received from the architect in a letter dated 14 May, 1880, recommending the preservation of the old library, it was ordered that notwithstanding the College Order of October 10, 1879, the library building be retained; and Mr Scott be requested to submit plans for adapting it to College purposes."

The position of the new Hostel, as it is called in the above Orders, will be understood from the ground-plan (fig. 1). The two ranges of which it is composed occupy the north and east sides of the Paschal Yard; the tennis-court, and the dwellinghouses next Pembroke Street, having been pulled down to make way for it. The north range was extended in the direction of the Master's Lodge, after the work had been commenced', in order to provide additional accommodation. These buildings contain a porter's lodge, and thirty-nine sets of rooms. They are in three floors, worked in a style borrowed from the early French Renaissance, the upper floor having dormer-windows, with lofty, picturesque, gables. The walls are ashlared with Casterton stone, the dressings being of Ancaster and Clipsham. The roof, of Dantzic oak, is covered with slates from Colley Weston. The east range, and the greater part of the north range, were occupied in the Michaelmas Term, 1882; the six sets added in 1881, in the Lent Term, 1883.

The chapel was lengthened twenty feet (fig. 1). The added portion, or sanctuary, is separated from the body of the chapel

1 "10 October, 1881. It was agreed that Mr Scott should be authorised to extend the Pembroke Street front of the new hostel to the west, thereby providing six additional sets of rooms."

These details are given in The Building News, for June 30, 1882, illustrated by a ground-plan of the building.
