The Rev. Charles Kerry supplemented Mr Mammatt's paper 

 with some valuable notes on the monuments in the church, 

 notably that in alabaster, whose inscription he has recently 

 deciphered. After a further inspection of the exterior of the 

 church, the party adjourned for luncheon at the " Moira Arms." 

 After luncheon, all that is left of the old castle, the moat, and 

 some ancient masonry, was inspected, by kind permission of the 

 owner, Mr. Baugust, and the party then drove on to the ruined 

 church of Remington. Here the Rev. Charles Kerry read a 

 paper upon the history of the church, which appears in another 

 part of this volume. 



After inspecting the old Hall and barn adjacent, the drive was 

 continued to Lockington church, where the visitors were received 

 by the Vicar, the Rev. R. L. Story, who conducted them over the 

 building, and pointed out the various interesting features, with 

 notes upon the architecture, the Leper's window (?), the six bells, 

 the dates of which range from 1692, and the tenor is yet older, the 

 oak screen, and the beautiful alabaster efifigy of a Lady Ferrers. 

 A curious feature of this church, which is absolutely un. 

 " restored," is the fact of the south aisle having always been 

 termed the " Remington Side," the worshippers from Remington 

 always entering the church by the south door, and sitting on the 

 south side only. 



After inspecting the church, the visitors were hospitably 

 entertained at tea, at the Rail, by Mr. and Mrs. Curzon, driving 

 back to Derby by seven o'clock. 



The proposed scheme for a Derbysiiire Record Society, which 

 was brought to your notice at our last anniversary, has not met 

 with the support it deserved, and which your Council strongly 

 hoped would have been given to it. A prospectus was sent out 

 in May last, explaining the scheme, and asking for promises of 

 support to the number of about 200 ; the result was very dis- 

 appointing, inasmuch as tlie boiict fide promises barely reached 

 thirty. The Council feels that many more are really willing to 

 join the proposed society (which, it will be reinembered, is to be 

 affiliated to the Derbyshire Archaeological and Natural Ristory
