The stalls at Wingfield, Suffolk, might date from 1362, when the church was made collegiate ; but much work was done in the time of Michael cle la Pole, 2nd Duke of Suffolk, and his wife, Catherine Stafford; he died in 1415; the badges of Wingfield and Stafford a wing and the Stafford knot are seen on the arches between the de la Pole chapel and the chancel. The design of the stalls and desks is such as might be expected early in the fifteenth century, especially in East Anglia, where fourteent...h century design lingered long (46).
At first sight the Norwich stalls might seem to belong to the first half of the fourteenth century ; as in the stalls of Chichester, the lower canopies have ogee arches ; while there is a second story above, as at El}'. The exuberance of earlier design is present in the cusping and the crockets; notice how the crockets vary from bay to bay, one set being actually- composed of hawks. Nevertheless supermullions rise from the apex of each minor arch of the window tracer}' of the spandrils, * Tliey are ascribed to the fourteenth century by Mr
