The members of the Society aud friends had a summer excursion ou June 27th. Starting 

 from Cantorbury in motor cars, a stop was made at Elham Church, the beautiful reredoe 

 being- mucli admired. Lyminse was next visited, and here the party inspected the iuteresting 

 remains of the Saxon churches containing Eomau bricks. They then proceeded to Lympne, 

 where fine views of the Romuey Marsh were obtained from the churchyard, tlie remains of 

 the Roman Castrum indicated, and the Norman church visited. After an interval for tea 

 in a charming garden at Newingreen. the tour was resumed to the ruined Chapel of Our 

 Lady at Court-at-Street, where iilizalxth Bartou, the Maid of Kent, fell into her passions, 

 which ended in the stake at Tyburn. The next church visited was Smeeth, which has con- 

 siderable 12th century work and a very pretty churchyard; and then the early Xorman church 

 at Brook, with low-side window and mural paintings in good preservation, detained the party
