Moore’s Grave at Bromham. The Devizes Gazette reprints a 
long article by F. MacDonagh in The Irish Packet on the present 
neglected condition of Moore’s grave at Bromham (occasioned by a 
letter from the Rev. A. S. Hartigan, now curate of the parish, asking 
for a small sum from Irishmen to repair it). Mr. MacDonagh finds 
great fault with the erection of the window in the Church to Moore’s 
memory some years ago, on the ground that he died a Roman Catholic 
and not a Protestant, as has been stated, and proposes that the simple 
slab in the churchyard shall now be replaced by a worthy national Irish 
memorial to his memory. Other letters on the subject appeared in the 
Devizes Gazette, and an article on ‘‘The Religion of Moore” in the 
Trish Packet, Feb. 27th, 1904.

reat Durnford Church. A notice of the work of restoration 
now being carried out, and of the discovery of a window earlier than
