The Church of this College, which is the Cathedral of the Diocese, is on the Eaft of the Grand Quadrangle, a venerable Structure, originally the - Church of St. Fridefwide's Monaftery. The Roof of the Choir is a beautiful Piece of Stone-work put up by Cardinal Wolfey, who alfo rebuilt the Steeple. The East Window was painted by Mr. Price, fenior, of London, after a Defign of Sir James Thornbill, reprefenting the Epiphany. In the Dormitory, which is an Ifle on the North Side of the Choir, is the Tomb of St. Fridefwide, who died A. D. 739. In the fame Place is a Window, curioufly painted, reprefenting St. Peter delivered out of Prifon by the Angel: Befide the principal Figures,. there are a confiderable Number of Roman Soldiers in various fleeping Attitudes, admirably well drawn ; And, though a very fmall Portion of the Glass is ftained, the Colours are brilliant, and the Whole appears very lively. It was painted by J. Oliver, in his Eightieth Year, and given by him to the College in the Year 1700. In this and other Parts of the Church are fome Monuments, no less remarkable for their elegant Infcriptions than their beautiful Structure.

In the Tower are ten celebrated Bells, brought from Ofeney Abbey, as was the great Bell, called Tom, abovementioned.

In this Church Choir Service is performed every Day at Ten and Four; except on Sundays and Holidays, when it is at Eight in the Morning.

Three Sides of Peckwater Court are uniform, defigned by Dr. Aldrich, then Dean, no lefs famous for his Skill in Architecture, than, for his Eminence in most other Branches of Knowledge. Each Side contains 15 Windows in Front. The lower Story

is Ruftic, in which are three Entrances. The fecond Story, and the Attic above it are contained in the Height of the Ionic Order, which refts upon the Ruftic. Over the five Middle Windows in each Side is a beautiful Pediment, which projects, fupported by Three-quarter-Columns of the fame Order, as the Entablature and Baluftrade of the other Parts are by Pilafters.---On the fourth Side of this Court is a magnificent Library, 141 Feet long, built in the Corinthian Order, the Pillars of which are four Feet in Diameter. Underneath was intended a Piazza opening to the Square, with feven Arches, and an Afcent of three Steps running the whole Length of the Building. This Defign has been fince altered, for the more convenient Reception of the great Collection of Books belonging to the College. The Wainfcotting, BookCafes, and Stucco-Work, as well on the StairCafe, as in the Rooms of the Library, are very highly finished, particularly the beautiful Fef toons in Stucco, charged with symbolical Imagery, feverally representing the particular Branch of Literature contained beneath. In the lower Apartments, both to the right and left, are deposited the celebrated Collection of Pictures given to the College by General Guife; among which are fome from the Collection of King Charles I. A Portrait, by Titian. The Flight into Egypt, by Guido Reni. The Family of the Caracci's, reprefented in a Butcher's Shop, the most celebrated Performance of Annibal Caracci.
