the eastern wall being occupied with a large marble monument, medallion and 

 female figure seated, to memory of Thomas Lewis, of Harpton, a.d. 1777. The 

 pulpit is an octagon, finely carved in oak. The seats throughout are stained with 

 a dark colour, with carved poppy heads. The pavesnent consists of modern red 

 and buff tiles. In the vestry two paintings of Moses and Aaron are preserved ; 

 also a Norman capital, the sole remnant of an earlier Church. The font is a very 

 large and rude block, about 40 inches in diameter, somewhat oval, with a bowl 

 amply sufficient for total immersion. It stands on four short and massive logs, 

 and has a modern oak cover. The registers commence in 1682. The following

Leaving the Church, the members ascended Old Radnor Hill, on the 

 summit of which the Honorary Secretary, Mr. Moore, in the much-regretted 

 absence of the author, Mr. Richard W. Banks, President of the Clnb in the year 

 18G0, read a paper on "The Four Stones," four boulders of volcanic rock situated 

 in the valley, near the Knap farmhouse, about a mile north of Old Radnor 

 Church, and of the same character as many other boulders scattered about the 

 neighbouring hills. Their heights above the ground average from five to six feet, 

 and their distances apart from five to eight feet. Although the stones were 

 not visible from Old Radnor Hill, in consequence of an intervening small clump 

 of trees, their size and respective positions were rendered evident by various 

 excellent photographs exhibited by Mr. James W. Lloyd. These stones may have 

 formed, in pre-historic times, the supports of a large sepulchral chamber or 

 cromlech. Local history traces no record of them previous to their presentation 

 by a jury at a court held for the manor of Burlinjob and Plonghfield in 1707, as 

 one of the bounds of that manor. 



The descent from Old Radnor Hill was made by the Gore Quarry, with 

 its altered Caradoc Sandstone ; thence by Gore Chapel and Bilmore, where 

 Mr. James W. Lloyd, by his local acquaintance, again rendered good service, 

 obtaining permission for the party to traverse one field only, directly leading to 

 the most easy ascent of Stanner Hill. 



From Stanner Hill, the heights of Knill Garraway, distant about two miles 

 north-east, as the arrow flies, were observed, with Herrock Hill in the foreground. 

 The tracing of Oflfa's Dyke, built eleven hundred years ago, of which a .small 

 portion had been observed from the windows of the railway carriage upon the 

 right hand, immediately after leaving Titley Railway Station, was conspicuous 

 in the distance. Leaving Lyonshall, visible again at Flintsham and at Titley, it 

 is again found in a very perfect condition passing under Knill Garraway, and, as 

 now was witnessed, following the natural features of the hill round Herrock, 

 whence it descends at its north end. After this circuitous route it proceeds for 

 many miles in a northerly direction, and always on the Welsh side of the hill. 

 LTpon Stanner Hill the business of the Club was transacted. Rev. Augustus
