chancels, among the number being a memorial to a seventeenth 

 century vicar of most exceptional interest. The Council is at the 

 present moment taking steps to prevent the threatened removal of 

 the fine chancel screen, and the only remaining chantry parclose 

 out of another church in the county. 



During the past year several of our Members have, we regret to 

 say, been removed by death ; others have left the neighbourhood ; 

 and a few have resigned. Still, however, our Members now 

 number 298, against 281 at our last anniversary, and the Council 

 feel quite justified in congratulating the Society upon the result of 

 its second year's proceedings. 



The Council are always glad to receive papers for discussion or 

 publication from the members ; but the Publishing Committee 

 wish it to be distinctly understood that papers received after 

 November 1st cannot be included in the ensuing issue of the 

 Journal. The publication of more than one promised paper has 

 had to be deferred from that cause during the current year.
