SECOND DAY. THURSDAY, Szrr. 14ru. 
The members of the Society, to the number of about 150, made 
an excursion to Old Sarum, Stratford Church, Woodford Church, 
Great Durnford Church, Ogbury Camp, Lake House, and thence 
to Stonehenge. At Old Sarum, Mr. Swayne, one of the able Local 
Secretaries, pointed out all that was of interest to the archzologist, 
calling attention to the massive remains in that commanding spot ; 
explaining the course of the Roman roads which branched off from 
* the ancient city; showing the position of the Tournament ground ; 
and examining the site of the Old Cathedral, of which though no 
remains exist, the form and position are sufficiently indicated to 
leave no doubt in the mind of the visitor, that here stood the 
original Cathedral of Sarum. Thence the party proceeded by 
_ Stratford Church, where the quaint old frame for the hour glass, 
_ affixed to the side of the pulpit, attracted attention: thence by 
Woodford Church, where a fine old Norman arch at the southern 
porch, and an old monument were the subjects of considerable 
discussion: then by the grounds of Heale House, famous as the 
spot where Charles II. was secreted for several days during his 
flight after the battle of Worcester: then by the very interesting 
- church of Great Durnford, where the Norman Font in remarkable 
_ preservation, the very perfect Norman chancel arch, and other 
arches in the church, as well as several architectural details and a 
curious old brass (dated 1670), attracted much attention. Thence 
_ the excursionists climbed the hill to visit Ogbury Camp, and after- 
_ wards crossed the Avon to Lake House, where they were hospitably 
received and cordially welcomed by the Rev. E. Duke, who had 
fitted up his hall as a temporary Museum for the inspection of the 
members of the Society. Amongst very many objects of deep 
interest to archeologists, doubly interesting because nearly all of 
them had been exhumed from the Lake estate, may be mentioned 
some remarkably perfect cinerary urns, of the Celtic period: also 
bone pins; fragments of cloth which had been used to enwrap the
