[6] The whole scheme for the new clock and bells in Worcester Cathedral originated with the Rev. Richard Cattley; and the city is deeply indebted to him for, perhaps, the finest set of Bells in the country, and for a Clock of great power and accuracy. These valuable additions to the ancient cathedral are to be supplemented by very perfect musical chimes, the mechanical appliances of which will be the gift of a great local benefactor, Alderman J. W. Lea.—R. W.
[7] The room in which the duke died is still intact, and a view of it, by Captain L. Archer, has been given with an earlier portion of this story. The Commandery is now used as a College for the Blind Sons of Gentlemen, the Rev. Mr. Blair being the Principal. The ancient structure bears evidence of the fray, and contains many relics of the period.
