position occupied. The party walked on to the School Chapel, 

 after inspecting which they passed on tO' the Church of 

 St. Winstan, where Mr. Hipkins pointed out and described the 

 various interesting features of architecture. Special attention 

 was devoted to the crypt, where recent discoveries have been 

 made, and upon which the party had the advantage of hearing 

 valuable comments made by Rev. J. T. Irvine, who was present, 

 and keenly interested in all details. The visitors were also shewn 

 over the site of the old Priory Church, together with many 

 details of great interest in the Old Hall, and the Priory. Tea, by 

 the kind hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Hipkins, was taken at the 

 Priory, and the party returned to Willington in time for the 6.9 

 train to Derby. 



A second expedition was held on Thursday, August 31st, to 

 Haddon Hall and Bakewell. 



The party left Derby in special saloons attached to the 

 1.45 p.m. train for Bakewell, whence brakes conveyed them to 

 Haddon Hall. By .special permission of the Duke of 

 Rutland, K.G., President of the Society, Haddon was inspected 

 without any of the usual restrictions. Mr. Alex. Carrington 

 acted as guide, and conducted the party over the Hall, calling 

 attention to all the important features of interest. Mr. 

 Carrington also read a valuable paper upon Haddon, tracing the 

 history of the Manor from the time of the Peverels, and noting 

 the deed, circa 11 70, probably the earliest in existence concern- 

 ing Haddon, and in the possession of the Duke of Rutland, by 

 which the Haddon property was equally divided, and given by 

 Wm. Avenel to his two sons-in-law, Vernon and Basset. 



After a full and careful inspection of Haddon, the visitors 

 drove back to Bakewell, and took tea at the Rutland Arms. 

 After tea a visit was paid to Bakewell Church, where the 

 Vicar, the Rev. C. J. Abraham, received the party, and 

 described the work recently carried out at the Church, pointing 

 out the newly-opened west door, and the Norman mouldings, 

 shewing also the old carved stones which have recently, and 

 mainly thanks to Mr. Abraham's efforts, been brought back from
