the Eastern Altar of the Church is the monument of another 
Judge, Andrew Powell, who died in 1635. 
There is also preserved here a stone figure of Jesse, the father 
of David, large as life, with the boughs radiating from his body, 
which formerly must have borne the effigies of King David's 
descendants in the direct line up to the birth of our Blessed Lord. 
A Jesse tree in coloured glass is not uncommon. Indeed, we 
have in Bath Abbey a window in the S. transept with such a 
pedigree, but if this tree in stone with all the figures in life-size 
were erected in this Church, it must have been an unique 
object. 
A dinner awaited the party at the Angel Hotel at five p.m., so 
that the visit to the Church had to be cut short. After the 
viands of Mr. John Pritchard, the well-known host of this house, 
had been well discussed, a train at 6.30 received again the whole 
party, who duly arrived in Bath by 9 p.m. with most pleasant 
reminiscences of this charming part of Monmouthshire, the 
Sugarloaf and Skirrid, Rivers Usk, Monnow and Honddu, and 
the well-wooded vale of Ewyas. 
Frome, Nunney Castle and Vallis, July 14th.—Kighteen Members 
attended this Excursion, and left the Great Western Station by 
the 10.18 a.m. train for Frome, which was reached shortly after 
half-past 11. The finely restored Church of S. John, with its 
Calvary, Chapels and tomb in the Churchyard of the saintly 
Bishop Ken, as well as the quaint monument of a former Vicar 
named Methuen in the Vestry, were again thoroughly examined, 
but nothing novel in the way of restoration or decoration seems 
to have been added to this Church since the last visit of the 
Field Club on October 7th, 1892. The statues in the Calvary 
on the left of the Northern ascent to the Church show sad signs 
of decay from the weather and winter frosts. Had they been 
constructed of marble or harder material they might have with- 
stood better the vicissitudes of our climate. The Verger 
exhibited the treasures of the Church to the Club, and first the
