village hostel, the Red Lion, whose accommodation barely 
sufficed for the large party of 22 who partook of luncheon. The 
Vicar of Avebury was the guest of the Club, and was heartily 
thanked for the valuable information he had personally afforded 
the Members, and nearly all purchased, at the village grocer’s 
shop, a copy of his pamphlet on Avebury and its Circles, etc., 
published 1896, and photographs of the Norman arch, font, and 
Saxon windows in St. James’s Church. 
The return journey to Calne was effected in less than an hour, 
and the 3.50 train taken for Chippenham, where the compulsory 
stoppage of more than an hour was utilized by paying a visit to 
the fine Parish Church of St. Andrew, with its very quaint 
mural monument to Sir Gilbert Prynne, 1627, whose deceased 
daughters are represented by small figures holding skulls in 
their hands, and the two surviving daughters in larger figures, 
while the parents are represented above, in the costume of 
the period, kneeling face to face at a faldstool. The poetical 
epitaph is well worth perusal. 
The whole party returned to Bath before 6 o’clock, having 
been favoured the whole day with perfect weather and brilliant 
sunshine. 
Colerne and Lucknam, June 4th, 1898.—A small party of 11 
Members started in a brake from the General Post Office at 
10 am. for Colerne, proceeding by the Gloucester Road, vid 
Marshfield, Ashwick, and the Rocks. The weather was in every 
way suitable, but with a biting E. wind, which was trying 
enough to the Members, and gave little token that the sun had 
nearly reached the summer solstice. 
Arriving at Colerne before noon the vault of the late Mr. 
Walmesley in a garden-plot adjoining the Churchyard was first 
visited, and then the remains of the old Cross amidst the tomb- 
stones, which are very peculiar, being composed of four large 
square blocks of stone laid horizontally on a square base, with 
.a deep trench separating each block in the form of a Cross.
