Tomb of Lord and Lady Norris and their six sons From Ackermans Westminster Abbey. CHAPTER XXIII THE NAVE Pray tell me then, what is the greatman who lies here particularly remarkable for? Remarkable, Sir! said my companion; why. Sir, the gentleman that lies here is remarkable for having a tomb in Westminster Abbey Goldsmiths Citizen of the World. The general aspect of the nave is stately,dignified and well-ordered but not richly beautiful as are the eastern arm of thechurch and the transepts. Its somewhat harsh and uninviting appearance is increased by the cold, generally unsightlymarble monuments which have been permitted to encroach on its walls. In other parts of the Abbey the same inharmoniousmonuments appear and in equal number:but relief is furnished in nearly all these instances by the fact that a great or aloved name is honoured: or that the monument is of some beauty in design or in detail: or the part of the church in which it is located possesses architectural richness.
