valuable communication to the club. He agreed with Mr. Green 
that the buildings on bridges were more houses for the poor to 
turn in and rest rather than chapels. He thought that Mr. 
Green was in error in stating that the only known examples of 
a bridge with a chapel were at Bradford-on-Avon and Bath, as 
there were examples at Rotherham and Wakefield, and in other 
places in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. 
The Rev. H. H. Winwoop also thanked Mr. Green for his 
paper, and for the light which was thrown on this period of local 
history by his researches and communications to the Club. He 
inquired whence Mr. Green obtained the views of the Bath 
Bridge, which he had exhibited, as it had been a matter of con- 
troversy whether there was any building on the bridge at all. 
These drawings, which were hitherto unknown, settled the

not be compared with the oratory on the Bath and Bradford 
bridges. In reply to Mr. Winwood, he stated that he found the 
views in the British Museum among a lot of uncatalogued 
drawings.

in the two counties and elsewhere really meant what we now 
understand by the word? Mr, ELLACOMBE thought that evidence, 
historical and otherwise, tended to the conclusion that grapes 
were really grown on these spots, and that wine was manu- 
factured from them, and remarked that the Field Club might add 
to the many other points observed in their walks, evidences 
that they met with of the existence of these ancient Vineyards. 
A short discussion took place afterwards, in which Dr. 
MANTELL, Rev. H. H. Winwoop, Messrs. E. GREEN and HOLST 
took part. In replying, Canon ELLACOMBE said he thought the
