dary is distiuctly visible on the right of the lane leading to Warley, 

 about half a mile from Bathford. A hedge now runs on the top of 

 it, out of which 7 trees ai'e growing, a shed with hayrick adjoining 

 is built on its lower course towards the river, where it becomes less 

 distinct, still nearer the river it expands in size, and a fine elm tree 

 grows upon the top, until it is finally lost at the point to which the 

 river rises in floods. On the other side of the river its course 

 towards Hampton down is only conjectural, so far as the brow of 

 the hill, when it can again be traced beyond the old quarries. 

 Returning to the point where it strikes the Warley lane, no traces 

 apparently remain in the field to the left of that lane, though 

 indications appear near the quarries, but the refuse heaps render it 

 difficult to distinguish its real course. At the lower part of the hill 

 it points to Farley clump, but probably slanted up the hill to 

 the point where the Roman road joined it at the commencement 

 of Asley Coppice. 



Westwood Church was visited on the 12th November ; the train 

 was left at Freshford, and a walk up the picturesque valley took the 

 members to Iford bridge, where a pause was made to examine the 

 base of the Perpendicular cross which once rose from the middle 

 buttress on the up-strfeam side. In the spandrells of the west door- 

 way of the Chui'ch Tower at Westwood, is the monogram of Thomas 

 Horton. The labels of the west window are curious, on the north 

 side is a man with a shield, on the south a dog with a log and 

 chain attached to his left forefoot. The fine glass in the East 

 window with Christ represented on the Tau cross was again exa- 

 mined as on a former visit of the Club, and some bits of painted 

 glass in the old manor house adjoining ; the letters H. 0. and a 

 shield with Christ on the cross in grisaille, were deciphered. 



The last walk worthy of record was taken to Langridge, on 7th 

 December, where a Roman coffin had lately been found on the 

 broken ground to the North of the drive up to the Rectory. The 

 position of the coffin was somewhat peculiar, as it was about 1 foot 

 beneath the surface, and sloping with a downward tilt to the S.E., 

 this was probably owing to the nature of the ground, which appears 

 to have slipped owing to the clayey sub-soil. The bones were in 

 their original position, the skull well formed, small, and very thin,
