English: Sculture on Bishop Northwold's tomb, Ely Cathedral. From: King, R.J. (1881) Handbook to the cathedrals of England. Eastern Division, London: John Murray .
Description in text: On the north side, the altar-tomb in the seventh bay, opposite Bishop Hotham’s, is that of Hugh of Northwold, the builder of the presbytery (1229 — 1254), much dilapidated, but of high interest. The base is modern. On it rests the effigy of the bishop fully vested, with smaller figures and sculptures at the sides and foot. At the foot is represented the story of St. Edmund, of whose great monastery at Bury Bishop Hugh had been abbot. The King is seen tied to a tree and shot at with arrows by the Danes; on one side he is beheaded, on the other is the wolf of the legend, which protected the head of the royal martyr. On one side of the principal effigy are the figures of a king (St. Edmund), and of Bishop Hugh as abbot and monk : on the other three representations of St. Etheldreda, as queen, abbess, and nun. The two great monasteries over which Bishop Hugh had presided were thus commemorated. The shafts supporting the canopy are curiously enriched with foliage.
