1631), who gave his name to Tufton Street, Westminster. The grave of Sir Henry Spelman, the antiquary, who died in 1641, is near to the entrance of S. Nicholas' Chapel. An embattled stone screen in the Perpendicular style, con- sisting of three tiers of quatrefoiled arches, erected probably in the reign of Henry IV., separates the chapel from the ambulatory. It is adorned with a frieze of shields and roses, and was once coloured. S. Nicholas, to whom this chapel is dedicated, became Bishop of M...yra when very young, and was the patron of children. Queen Eleanor presented the saint's finger and other relics to the Abbey. It will be noticed that this chapel has four windows, that of S. Edmund having only three. The tracery is the same in both of them. The first tomb on the right as we enter is that of Philippa, Duchess of York {d. 143 1 or 1433). She was daughter of John, Lord Mohun, and successively married Sir John Golofre, Edward, 2nd Duke of York, grandson of Edward III., and Lord Fitzwalter.
