for the structure of the Black Friars 1276, stands amid the 
ruined walls of the Refectory and Cloisters. The patronage of 
this Hospital and the members is now vested in the Arkwright 
family, as holders of the property of Hampton Hall, in the 
County of Hereford. Remunerating the red-vested “ cicerone,” 
the Field Club then returned by the black and white house, now 
a well restored office of a Bank, the sole remnant of the ancient 
“ Butchers’ row,” to St. Peter’s Church, which also has a lofty 
tower and spire and internally elegant 15th century stalls in the 
Chancel. This Church has also been well restored, but the stone 
tracery in the new windows is of a very plain and unworthy 
style. The pulpit is an open platform surrounded by a brass 
rail, so as not to obstruct the view of the Altar, and the East 
window is filled with Munich glass. Some of the party wandered 
to the Castle Green and banks of the Wye, but all found 
themselves, at 7.30 p.m., at the Green Dragon for the needful 
*‘ table d’héte” and subsequent night’s rest. 
The following day after breakfast, the second great object of 
the excursion was sought, and some attended the 10 am. 
service of the Cathedral, at the end of which the Hon. and Very 
Rey. the Dean of Hereford personally conducted the members 
over his Cathedral, and explained the various historical tombs, 
the styles of architecture, and other interesting objects to be seen 
in this ancient building. The styles of architecture range from 
the Norman to the Perpendicular. Time did not suffice to see 
the Crypt, but the treasures of the library were duly viewed, and 
the attentions of the Dean were most graciously bestowed on the 
Members for the space of two hours, for which they rendered 
him on their departure the most hearty thanks. The 1.42 train 
rapidly covered the 72 miles back to Bath and restored the 
Members to their domiciles, after an excellent excursion. 
Tewkesbury, October 8th, 1895.—A small party of eleven 
members of the Field Club started by the 10 a.m. Midland train 
for this interesting old town, which was reached some time before
