sequent luncheon at the Lopes Arms Hotel at Westbury, well 
repaying the discomfort of the drive. 
The church now stands in excellent repair, under the care, as 
vicar, of the Rev. George E. Long, his predecessor having departed 
this life prematurely in 1891, from a chill caught while person- 
ally attending to the restoration of his church. A handsome 
cross, mounted on three steps in the churchyard, has been erected 
to his memory, and as a thankoffering for the restoration of the 
building, effected through his liberality and the aid of his friends. 
The building itself is of the most interesting character—cruciform

repetitions of his rebus on the tomb, a baytree growing in a tun; 
his feet rest on a tun which contains the same rebus with -the 
letter J. thereon. The old oak of the rood screen has been 
restored to its original place, and the eastern half restored by 
excellent imitation in modern oak, but strange to say there seem 
to be no stairs to mount to the summit. This rood screen stands
