Carthusians,’ and ‘ capital letters with illuminations,’ of which there is not a 
_ word in the original. 
‘The miniatures (about seventy), initial letters, and borders are in good 
Flemish styie, but most of this ornamentation seems to be a good deal later 
than the date of Gherzrt’s schedule, and looks like work done about 1440—50, 
Indeed one is led to suspect that an L has dropped out of the date of the 
schedule, and that he may have written MCCCCLVII. In any case he was

and borders are in an admirable state of preservation, were for a

1810 on the Fosse Road near Easton Grey Wood. It is hoped 
that an illustration may be given of this. The house itself is

_ The next stoppage was at GREAT SHERSTON CHURCH—the 
most important building, after the Abbey, visited during this 
excursion. Here the new Vicar, the Rev. W. Symonns, met the 
Members, and read the description of the Church furnished by 
Mr. Pontinc. After this the Bisuor or Brisron discoursed on 
the remarkable early figure on the east side of the south porch, as
