This most splendid and interesting edifice, in its magnitude and arrangement is little less spacious and complete than a regular Cathedral. It is esteemed the largest Parochial Church in Great Britain, being feet in length, cruciform in shape, and once comprised within it a nave, choir, exterior side-aisles, transepts, the Church or Chapel of St. Margaret on the south of the choir, the Chapel of St. John, afterwards the vestry, at the north-east corner, and Retro-Chapels at the extreme east; for morning prayers, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, now so extensively known under the name of the Lady Chapel, and another smaller, lately projecting from it, called the Bishop's Chapel, from containing the vault and monument of Launcelot Andrews, Bishop of Winchester. A general account of this edifice has been already given, and the present notices are intended for the illustration of the Chapels at the eastern end; excepting that their history cannot be separated from that of the late beautiful and meritorious restoration of the Church itself. In the modern Exterior Views the former of those Chapels is represented with gables, and a covered turret. in the back-ground; and the Bishop's Chapel is seen projecting from it on the south-east. The Eastern View is shewn to have been taken during Mr. Gwilt's fine restoration of the choir of , contracted for in , during the formation of the new and beautiful eastern rose window, and before the erection of the rich foliated cross upon the gable above it.

With respect to the history of the Lady Chapel, it is supposed that it cannot be older than the rebuilding of a great part of , after a fire early in the century.[a]  The rebuilding was commenced under Peter De Rupibus, Bishop of Winchester, from A.D. to ; and is thus recorded in a MS. Chronicle of the century in the Harleian Collection,[b]

The architecture shews that it was probably at a time not very distant from the same period, that the smaller Chapel, extending from the eastern end of the Lady Chapel, was erected against the exterior division of that building. An interior entrance to it was formed by the removal of of the triple lancet-windows, with part of the adjoining piers, a large pointed open arch being turned in their place: and the pavement made low steps higher than that of the Virgin's Chapel.[e]  Though this edifice were doubtless originally dedicated to some particular saint, and constructed by a particular founder, the names of both are unknown, and it probably received the general modern title of the Bishop's Chapel in , upon the interment of Launcelot Andrews, Bishop of Winchester, against the great east window. The monument erected to him occupied nearly the whole of the east end, and consisted of an altar-tomb of black and white marble, raised upon a base, and enclosed with railing. Upon it was laid a whole length effigy of the Bishop, the size of life, habited in his cassock and robe, as Prelate of the Garter,[f]  with his feet to the east; from which end of the tomb a large perpendicular architectural tablet was raised against the window bearing an inscription, and surmounted by a pediment containing his armorial ensigns, between carved sitting figures of Justice and Fortitude. There appears to have been a general belief, however, that Bishop Andrews was buried in the cemetery belonging to the adjoining Winchester Palace, on the , where he died; but upon removing the tomb, about , when the Bishop's Chapel was taken down, the inside was found closely bricked up, and, upon opening it, a very large leaden coffin was discovered inscribed L. A. on the lid: excepting the iron rings at each end, it was in excellent preservation. This coffin and monument, are now deposited at the western end of the Lady Chapel in the centre, against the back of the altar-screen; other tombs formerly in the Bishop's Chapel, have been re-erected in different parts of the Church.[g]  The interior of this Chapel was extremely plain, and measured feet in length, and in breadth, within the recesses of the windows: it had strong ribs, and a groined roof, with a stone seat on both sides and at the eastern end. The peculiar forms of the windows contained in it may be seen in the annexed Exterior Views.

These doors appear to have been constructed as entrances instead of the two very beautiful arches under which they were built; for though the ancient altar-screen now appears to form the solid termination of the choir, it is possible that a view of the Lady Chapel was once opened through some extremely elegant flamboyant tracery, of the time of Edward III., in the heads of the two arches which divide it from the main body of the Church. It has been conjectured that these arches were at first open and then filled up with masonry, to oppose the currents of air which passed into the Church, through the long avenue of the eastern chapels. A small doorway with a very flat pointed arch, within a shallow recess ornamented with gothic panels, in a segmental head, was subsequently constructed in the lower part of the arch; whilst the ornamented tops were merely closed by stone, inserted behind the tracery: the ancient altar-screen was afterwards erected as another and more effectual defence. Gentleman's Magazine, vol. cii. part ii. p. 105. The conjecture that there was once an open view into the Lady Chapel from the choir through the arches now closed up, appears to have been originally mentioned by Mr. Carter and Mr. Bray. Gentleman's Magazine, August, 1808, vol. lxxviii. part ii. p. 700. History of Surrey, vol. iii. p. 570. A very interesting view of the eastern side of those arches and the subsequent doorways may be seen in an engraving by J. Cleghorn from a drawing by Mr. G. Gwilt, Jun., of the design for rebuilding the choir of St. Saviour's Church, pubiished July 1st, 1823. 4to.

In this place they had their ovens, in that a boultingplace, and in that their kneading-trough, in another, as I have heard, a hog's trough;—for the words that were given me were these. This place have I known a hog stye;—in another a store-house, to store up their hoarded meal: and in all of it something of this sordid kind and condition. It was

Wilson, all bakers; and this Chapel was still employed in the way of their trade, as a bakehouse:

These statements are confirmed by entries in the vestry-books of St. Saviour's; one of which in 1551, mentions a lease granted of a place within the wall of the church-yard, to Helmsley Ryelle for iiijs. iijd. a year to set his carts on. An order of vestry two years after directs the olde Chapel behind the Chancel to be let for the benefit of the school; which would bring its desecration to the very time expressed in the extract given above. In 1571, however, another order occurs for warning to be given to John Peacock, baker, by the church wardens, to remove the filthy nuisance out of the Chapel behind the high-altar, of which he has a lease, and to amend the glass windows, and do all other things according to the covenants of his said lease. In another entry in this register in 1576, in which is noticed the want of repairs in the churchyard wall and vestry, it is there directed that the surplus of money for the charge of the Grammar-School, should be paid by the Churchwardens to the parish generally, towards the maintenance and separation of the ruinous and decayed places of this great monastery being a parish church, which is every year greatly chargeable to the parish. Another entry in 1607 states that Mr. Henry Wilson, tenant of the Chapel of the Holy Virgin found himself inconvenienced by the tomb of a certain — Cade, and applied to the vestry for its removal; which was consented to, he making up the place again in any reasonable sort. Bray's History of Surrey, vol. iii. p. 570. So late, however, as 1808, Mr. Carter remarks of the crypt of St. Saviour's Church, that this choice pile is used for storing up coals and other articles by some retail dealer in such like commodities.

About the year the choir of appears to have been enclosed by galleries on the north, south and across the middle-aisle at the entrance, the latter being in the place of the ancient rood-loft; and in a screen was erected at the western door. In and , many parts of the building were renewed: the whole north side was strengthened and beautified,

with a substantial and very artificial rough-cast: and the other side was plastered and whited:

Having thus declined to that disgraceful condition of dilapidation and neglect in which this building appeared at the commencement of the present century, the greater part of it was then found to be almost in that state of decay when an edifice will only remain without falling; for much of the fabric had been originally constructed of Surrey free-stone, which had suffered in a more than ordinary degree from time and the weather. At length a committee of the parishioners was appointed for repairing the Church, but it was not until that a commencement was actually made by Mr. John Crawford, then Church-Warden, by a repair of the tower, which was confided to Mr George Gwilt, Sen. This part was then spilt in every direction from the violent vibration of the bells, and exhibited fissures and inches broad. The pinnacles and embattled parapets were therefore rebuilt, several new windows were inserted in the bell-loft, and belfry, and the tower itself was secured by cast-iron ties of tiers in height, so concealed within the masonry as not to be perceptible, and so contrived as not to hazard the work by contraction or expansion. In . when a design was proposed of restoring the choir, a project was brought forward of building an entirely new church to fit the old tower; which, however, was rejected by a large majority of the parishioners, and in , a contract was made for extensively repairing, or rather rebuilding, the choir; since the roof was removed and the greater part of the walls. This was also executed by Mr. Gwilt, who took down the eastern end of the Church to the clere-story, and designed and erected that which now appears. It consists of an enriched gable with an elaborate cross clechee-floree on the summit,[a]  and immediately beneath a small and elegant heptaloil catherine-wheel window. At the sides are staircase turrets, ornamented with niches and crowned with pinnacles; and in the principal centre of the eastern end is inserted a new triple lancet-window, of the richest style of the century, as being more adapted to the general age of the Church, than the broad-arched window of lights, of the time of Henry VII., represented in the annexed Interior View, which existed here until this repair. Over the whole of the vaulting of the choir, was erected a new cast iron roof covered with copper, the piers of the flying-buttresses on each side were newly cased with stone, and their arches entirely rebuilt; and pinnacles and finials were added to the abutting-piers: it is probable that the latter had never been completed before, since there were originally of them on the south side and only on the north. The principal part of the modern masonry consists of a sharp girt-stone from Houghtree, near Kirkstall Abbey, Yorkshire; of which the quoins and mouldings are formed, the remainder of the facing being made out with surface-flints from the high-lands in various parts of Surrey.—At this time also, the Chapel of St. Mary Magdalene on the south side of the choir, represented in the annexed copy of Hollar's View,—was entirely taken away; but it had never possessed any striking beauty, and was defaced by the inappropriate alterations made in it about the end of the reign of James I. The open side of the choir was then enclosed with masonry upon the model of the ancient north-side; and the windows of the side-aisles were built entirely new, and a new door was added. The whole of these noble repairs did not greatly exceed the sum of , including the tower; and throughout the restoration the architect carefully adhered to the original building, wherever the details could be traced or ancient materials be discovered to guide him.[b] 

The restoration of the transepts of was commenced about the end of , from the designs of Mr. Robert Wallace, who succeeded Mr. Gwilt as architect to this edifice. In both of the buildings he added groined roofs, and introduced in the south transept an imitation of that circular window which was discovered in the ruins of Winchester Palace, after the fire there in ; and of which representations are given in the annexed Plate of that structure. About , the Bishop's Chapel was taken away from the eastern end of the Lady Chapel, and the arch of entrance built up; but when the whole of the intended repairs were nearly finished, it was found that the roof of the nave was so much dilapidated as to require the parishioners to discontinue using that part for divine service. After the edifice had been closed for upwards of months, a vestry held on and , , came to the following Resolutions:

That the choir, and north and south transepts, be enclosed to the eastern part of the Church, for divine service; and the pews situate in the nave be removed into such parts of the Church for the accommodation of the inhabitants.—That the organ be removed over the Communion, or any other part of the east end that the Wardens may think proper, but not out of the Church.—That the whole of the roof, from the western door to the end of the tower, called the nave, consisting of ceiling, roof, walls and pillars, as far as dangerous, be sold and cleared away; the remainder of the walls, pillars, and family vaults, to be left open to the weather.

The very laudable, zealous, and persevering efforts made for the preservation of the Lady Chapel at the eastern end of the Church, were, however, completely successful; though it was for some time earnestly debated whether it should be destroyed or restored. But even in the vestry the design of demolition was opposed, and on , a numerous general meeting for the preservation of the structure took place at the Freemasons' Tavern, at which a series of Resolutions was passed to that effect. The principal of them were, That the few remaining reliques of Gothic, or early English pointed style, of architecture in this kingdom, are replete with interest: That the Chapel of Our Lady in , is a splendid specimen of that style of architecture: That as the Parish of St. Saviour has expended in the repair of this Church, of which a debt of is unpaid, it is expedient that a public subscription be commenced to enable the Parish to restore the Lady Chapel: and that a Committee be appointed to promote the restoration by soliciting public subscriptions.[d]  Notwithstanding the very great expense, which the rebuilding of had already proved to the Parish, it was evident, by some of the speeches at this meeting, that the design of demolishing the Lady Chapel was not by any means even partially sanctioned in , but only that the assistance of the public was required for so costly an undertaking: but it was perhaps almost entirely owing to the unwearied and meritorious exertions of Mr. Thomas Saunders, that so general and lively an interest was excited on the subject. The estimated amount of the restoration was , and by February nearly had been raised; but the sentiments of the parishioners were most unequivocally displayed at the general poll which had been demanded by Mr. Saunders of all the parochial rate-payers, and which took place on and ; the conclusion being a majority of for the restoration of the building.[e]  The subscriptions were subsequently continued with great zeal, and were also extended to the restoration of the

Whilst the restoration of the Chapel was in agitation, a farther difficulty appeared in the very narrow frontage to be allowed for it in the south approach forming to the . So early as , the Wardens of addressed a memorial to the Bridge-Committee, soliciting a sufficient space for the exhibition of the structure, and suggesting an opening of feet. On , it was resolved by the vestry that the width of feet, offered by the Committee, was altogether inadequate, added to which it was made a condition of that grant that the Lady Chapel should be taken down; and therefore in the following October the Wardens memorialised the Lords of the Treasury. In an interview between them, the latter appeared to be in favour of a greater opening, but on , the Wardens were informed that not more than feet would be allowed, and that space only on condition of removing the Chapel, if the consent of the Bishop of Winchester could be procured. In a letter on the subject, however, the Bishop declined giving his consent to the Company; stating that it could not be alleged that the removal of the Consistorial Court was required for public accommodation, which he viewed as the only justifiable reason for the demolition of a Church, or any part of .[c]  It was then resolved to petition the Committee of the appointed on the Bill for Improving the Approaches to the ; by which it was decided, on , after days deliberation and by a majority of to , that the opening to should be feet instead of , as proposed by the original framers of the Bill.[d]  The houses on the west side of opposite the Lady Chapel, are therefore terminated so as to form the sides of a handsome approach to it. From hence at a future time a flight of steps may be formed to the building beneath, and an appropriate rail also erected round the church, but at present the structure is defended on the east only by a high circular enclosure of boards.

The last meritorious work of restoration in , was that of the ancient Altar-Screen given in the commencement of the century by Richard Fox, Bishop of Winchester; a subscription for which was ultimately united with that commenced for the Lady Chapel. To the latter of these funds the present Bishop of Winchester gave , and to the Screen; and other large sums were speedily and liberally contributed. Previously to Mr. Gwilt's restoration of the choir, the eastern wall of the Church was covered with a composition of wood and plaster, ascribed by tradition to Sir Christopher Wren, though apparently without any authority. Above this Screen appeared the mutilated and inelegant broad window of the sixteentn century, the arch of which was sculptured in relievo, in panels; that in the centre having an angel holding a shield, and those at the side a pelican feeding her young, the emblem of Christ, and the device of Bishop Fox.[e]  There was also a carved facia, on which the pelican was repeated, with the holy-lamb and oak leaves, the style of all which entirely disagreed with that of the altarpiece below. On the removal of the modern screen, a series of small tabernacle-niches was discovered on the partition behind, the canopies of which had been cut down to almost a level surface; though they still possessed so much beauty as to cause the restoration of the whole, to become a circumstance of the greatest interest. This was completed in the commencement of , by Mr. Robert Wallace, the Architect of the Church, Mr. Firth, the Contractor, and Mr. Purdy the principal Carver; the contract amounting to only the sum of The ancient material of this Screen was Firestone and the stone of Caen; and the restoration has been executed in stone from Painswick, in Gloucestershire, which agrees well with the former. Wherever it was practicable the original work has been retained, but nearly the whole of the ornamental carvings have been wrought from moulds and replaced in the precise situations of the ancient sculpture whence they were taken. The whole screen is lofty, and the general composition of it is divided into stories in height and as many partitions in breadth. In the centre of the lowest story is a space for the altar, with tall tablets and canopies above; and on each side is a door with a depressed pointed arch. On each side of the doorways is a niche rising from the ground, flanked by slender buttresses and covered with a triangular tabernacle of canopied arches, with the angular point in front. In each niche is a tall pedestal with a richly carved head; and above the doors are short double canopies of a similar style, though rising above those on the sides, and breaking the line of a broad frieze of demiangels, above which is a narrow line of carved pelicans, holy-lambs, and scrolls. These terminate the story; and the above and are composed of a large niche in the centre, with a semi-hexagonal canopy, placed between niches on each side, with pedestals and canopies like those below; whilst a frieze of angels, &c. parts the stories. As the story finished the remains of the ancient screen, Mr. Wallace has designed a termination of an entablature of angels supporting shields, with a crown-like cornice above; something similar to which most probably surmounted the original design.[f]
