day after day. The President received us at his beautiful place 

 near Llangerniew one day, where he has a most interesting garden, 

 full of fine and rare trees; and Mr. Pockin, of Bodnant Hall, on 

 another day. Both most hospitable. I did not go to Pencaer 

 Helen on Friday, as I was tired, and the climb is very severe. 



Aug. 6. Sunday. Bangor. Went to the Cathedral. In the 

 afternoon to Llandegai, where there was a quiet service. 



Aug. 8. Returned home. 



Aug. 17. We left home, and arrived at Pickering. 



Aug. 21. We drove to Lastingham, examining by the Avay the 

 ■church; Middleton, where we saw some fine Norman and Early 

 English remains, also a very interesting west door, built up, which 

 may probably be Anglo-Saxon. There is a small equal-armed cross 

 set in the wall above the west doorway. At Lastingham the Vicar 

 shewed us the very interesting Norman church, and its peculiarly 

 interesting crypt, with its vault supported by dwarf Norman pillars. 

 In the crypt many very early remains found in and about the 

 •church are now kept. We returned to Sinnington Station by the 

 way of Appleton-le-Moor, where a beautiful new church has lately 

 been built. The church at Sinnington has an early crucifix, and a 

 plain cross built into its southern wall. The country beautiful. 



Aug. 23. We paid a visit to the very fine collection of British 

 antiquities, vases, and flint arrow-heads, and other things preserved 

 at his house by T. M. Kendall, Esq., who very kindly explained 

 them. Afterwards we went to the castle, which consists of a large 

 square enclosure with corner towers and gate-house, and a central 

 keep upon a high mound, surrounded by a deep moat, and connected 

 on two sides with the outer walls. 



Aug. 24. We drove to Saltersgate Inn over much high moor- 

 land, and gave a short visit to the Hole of Horcum. The day was 

 thick, with some rain, but the moors looked beautiful. 



Aug. 25. To Kirkdale, to see the church, and its very ancient 

 stones and inscription. 



Aug. 26. Left Pickering, having been very much pleased with 

 the " Black Swan," and its landlord, Mr. Hudson. To Fylingthorpe, 

 Robin Hood's Bay. 



Aug. 28. We went to the shore, passing through the curious 

 little place called here " The Bay," built in a singular manner upon a 

 rock projecting almost into the sea, the main street being too steep 

 for wheels. 



Aug. 30. We walked to the top of Fylingdales Moor. Called 

 on the Rev. R. J. and Mrs. Cooper at the vicarage. 



Sept. 1. To tea and supper at Mr. Cooper's,
