Prebendary W. H. Jones; and at their meeting in February, last, 
gave £25 towards it. 
Two illustrations accompany this statement, one giving a view 
of the building from the south east, and the other the doorway 
leading ‘from the PorcH into the Nave. The archway, which is 
not recessed, is two feet ten inches wide and eight feet six inches 
high to the centre of the arch. It springs from an impost, which 
is itself simply a plain string-course, stopping a rudely-moulded 
pilaster, formed by a series of segmental roundels. Above the 
- impost this is continued over the arch as a hood-moulding. One of 
the minor peculiarities of this work is, that the opening of the 
door-way is wider at the floor than at the springing, and this tends 
to strengthen our opinion as to its antiquity. 
A full account of this Saxon Church—which William of Malmesbury 
speaks of as standing in his days (about A.D. 1120), and which he 
adds had been of old dedicated to St. Laurence—has been printed for 
the Trustees. It contains several particulars that have come to 
light since it was noticed in this Magazine, and is illustrated with 
a steel engraving, shewing the view of the Church from the south- 
east, and seven or eight other drawings, and elevations. A copy 
will be forwarded to all subscribers of £1 1s., and upwards, and, as 
far as the impression, which is a limited one, will allow, to others 
who are able only to give smaller amounts. 
There has already been expended in the purchase and conveyance 
of the Cuance and adjoining plot of ground, and in necessary 
Tepairs, boundary walls, &c., about £125. 
The sum now required for purchasing another building, which 
may be exchanged for the Nave and Porc, so as to secure the 
entire Church, is about £350 more than has been as yet promised or 
paid. The Society, feeling an especial interest in this work, commends 
it heartily to the liberality of its members. 
Communications may be addressed either to the Rev. E. L. 
Barnwell, Melksham,—the Rev. Prebendary W. H. Jones, Bradford- 
_ on-Avon,—or to the Secretaries of the Wilts Archeological Society.
