CHAPEL UNDER A TULIP BED

OXFORD LINK WITH

THE PAST

The ancient Gothic chapel of Queen's College, Oxford, has been discovered underneath the Col- lege's front lawn-by the College! gardener, who wanted to improve the soil for his tulipa,

While Wigging a deep treuch underneath the tulip bed, along the western edge of the path which bisects the guardrangle, he struck rock. Efforts to remove the rock Failed, and when it was cleared of i soll it looked to be part_of_an sucient building; in fact, the foot of a Gothic buttress.

Digging was extended, and the bottom step of a spiral staircase was found a little to the south. By this time the College authorities were deeply interested, and began consulting old drawings of the mediaeval College. From there it appeared that the stairense must have led up the south-west turret of the ante-chapel, which was built soon after 150.

Buried History

The tulip bed running along the eastern side of the path was dug up, and medineval cobble stones from a vanished-quadrangle,-en- caustic tiles from the paving of the ante-chapel, and a good deal of stonework from the walls and floor were revealed. No doubt now remains that the ruins are part of the ante-chapel which was ruthlessly swept away, with every other Gothic beauty of the medine. val College, in the late Seventeenth and early Eighteenth Centuries, to make way for the present classical or Italian buildings...

The entire ante-chapel floor and foundations, and those of the Fourteenth Century chapal proper beyond them, with the remains of earliest fellows and provosts of the College, are lying under the flawless turf of the eastern half of the classic quadrangle for which they were destroyed."

To-murrow To-day

In 1928 a number of the Fecamp panels were dismounted and sent for repair to the workshops of the only master glazier in France capable, it said, of doing the work. The panels wero returned and renet in the window frames. Last July the police received a warning that there were windows in Fecamp Abboy and in the Cathedrals of Chartres and Bourges which were no longer what they claimed to be. Only m the case of Fecamp has oficial action been taken so far, so that it may be taken that in the other two cases the authorities are not con- vinced.

The Minister for Fine Arts has formally charged unknown persons with theft, abuse of confidence,tered

Four and receipt of stolen goods. out of eighty-eight panels are sus- pected, portraying scenes from the life of St. Louis, King of France. They were in the hands not only) of the master glazier, but of window setter, and of a relative of an art dealer with establishments in both Paris and Now York.
