new chancel and greater part of the tower were built about that 
time. The font is an interesting one, and evidently either early 
Norman or Saxon, thus showing the antiquity of the church. 
The staircase leading to the rood loft is, plainly visible, as well as 
the exit from it. This superstructure was evidently placed across 
the old chancel arch. This chancel, however, is not only disused, 
but completely dismantled, and entirely blocked up by a lofty 
and unsightly huge pew claimed as the property of the lord of 
the manor. In 1847 the central arcade was moved a few feet 
northward, so as to give a more imposing effect to the 8. aisle 
and new chancel. After inspecting the church, Mr. | Perfect 
conducted the party round the several stone circles and remains, 
pointing out the different features of each, and explaining the 
views held by archeologists and others respecting their use, and 
the supposed object of the tribes in erecting these most curious

old bridge over the Chew, where the brake met them, and after 
repeated thanks to the Rev. H. T. Perfect for his valuable services, 
they proceeded on their homeward journey, reaching Bath about

illness from being present and giving some notes upon the 
lithological nature of the stones and the care taken of them by 
Mr. Coates, the lord of the manor. 
Ludlow, June 16th, 1891.—This was a two day’s excursion of 
which the following notes have been supplied by Mr. W. Daubeny. 
A party of eleven left the G.W-.R. Station at 8.27 a.m., and after 
a considerable detention in consequence of the breakdown of a 
luggage train, they reached Ludlow at about 1.30—nearly one 
hour after the appointed time of arrival. They proceeded to the 
old and picturesque hostelry known as the “ Feathers ;” 
and after refreshing the inner man with a substantial cold 
luncheon, and bespeaking a brake for a drive about 3.30, the
