but that in time proved a failure, as did the barrel uigan. About 1S57. 

 my brother, Edward Sacheverel, placed an organ in the chancel, which he 

 played during service. At the death of the Rector, in 1866, it was 

 removed into the north aisle, and stood in the corner by the belfry. 

 Owing to the damp, it was often, nearly always, out of order, and by 

 my wish my nephew, Reginald Walkelyne, who had then succeeded his 

 father, and who, as I think properly, claimed it as his private property, and 

 removed it from the church, presenting to the church instead a harmonium, 

 which, up to 18S7, stood on a platform over a flat tombstone with a cross 

 upon it, conveniently near the choir. 



In the autumn of 1887 the pulpit had become unsafe, and I refused to 

 use it in that condition. At this time I contemplated some alteration of 

 the chancel, so I sent for Suggett, of Mickleover, to pull down the chancel 

 pews, and to work them up into a kind of choir seat. He also put up for 

 me a temporary reading desk. Reginald Walkelyne approved of the cl'ange, 

 and proposed to have the pulpit pulled down, which, with the six pews on 

 the south side of ihe nave, was done next day, the pulpit being reconstructed 

 and placed just outside the chancel on the north side ; the space where the 

 six pews had been was seated with chairs. Matters remained mostly in 

 this state till Trinity Sunday, 1888. 



Driving on to Kirk Langley Church, the visitors were received 

 by the Rector, the Rev. F. W. Meynell, vv^ho pointed out the recent 

 additional restorations, which have been admirably executed. 

 After being received and most hospitably entertained at tea by 

 Mr. and Mrs. Meynell at Meynell Langley, the party drove back 

 to Derby shortly after seven o'clock. 



A second expedition was held on Saturday, August 13th, to 

 Langar and Wiverton. The party left Derby at 10.25 a.m., 

 travelling by Great Northern Railvi^ay to Barnstone Station, the 

 railway company very kindly providing a special train from Col- 

 wich to Barnstone. From the station, brakes conveyed the party 

 to Langar, where the church, with some very interesting monu- 

 ments and screen work, was inspected, under the guidance of the 

 Vicar, the Rev. H. Wood. Luncheon was taken at the "Uni- 

 corn," Langar, and after which the drive was continued to 

 Wiverton. Here the owner, Mrs. Chaworth Musters, received 

 the visitors, and herself conducted them over this important and 

 most interesting "cavalier stronghold," calling attention to and 

 explaining the series of features which mark the history of its
