 There is a remarkable painted ceiling in the north chapel, a curious 

 old brass of about 1583, and a fine pulpit and reading desk. A 

 return was then made to Cheddar Church, another handsome 

 building, remarkable for some old glass and the sculptured figure 

 of a bishop which escaped the iconoclasts. Some adventurous 

 spirits ascended the tower and examined the bells and the view 

 from the top. They were sorry to see the floor of the clock 

 chamber repaired with tombstones, some of which Avere cut up and 

 some bored with holes to let the bell ropes through. One was as

 admired the ravine or entered the cave. The party returned to 

 Bath at SAO.

 but it is to be hoped that with the retm-n of more genial weather 

 they will be resumed. The first was taken to Engliahcombe
