 miscalled cliffs, of gravel and sand, which cover the shore with 

 loose sand and shingle, and do not allow of roads to the shore. 



July 14. Runton Church; is fine Perpendicular, with the win-

 nice talk with Sir G. G. Scott.

 a very fine Roman town : the walls almost perfect, except on one 

 side. There is a curious platform in the middle with a + upon it 

 rather more raised. Walked to Sandwich, a poor decayed town, 

 with three interesting churches, and a very curious chapel.
