present chapel consists of eight bays and an aspidal chancel, with 
a fine, lofty reredos. The height of the nave and the chancel 
arch give great dignity to the building. Frescoes, representing 
scenes from the Old Testament on one side, and from the New 
Testament on the other, brighten the nave, and the notices of 
Marlburians who have passed away, with the crest of the house 
to which each belonged are interesting. Being term time no 
other part of the college buildings was visited, and the party pro-

capital cold luncheon. 
The rain still continuing, it was voted impractical to drive 
either through the Forest, or to Swindon to see the railway 
workshops. A compromise was arrived at by some of the party 
driving to Savernake Station. This was accomplished during a

unpleasantly, in spite of the wet weather. 
Cirencester and Fairford, July 17th, 1900. The visit of the 
Bristol and Gloucestershire Archzological Society, and various 
social engagements, made the party which left Bath at 8.9 on 
Tuesday a very small one. Reaching Cirencester at 10.15, a 
wagonette from the ‘King’s Head” took the party to Fairford, 
where they were joined by a Member and his friend, who had 
cycled over from Bath. The vicar was unfortunately absent, but 
his sexton conducted the party over the church, and pointed out 
the beauties of the stained windows. Of these there are twenty- 
eight, representing the Gospel History in a consecutive series of
