The Saxon chapel at Bradford was the object of another 
monthly walk on December 6th. Train was taken to Bradford, 
and after seeing the Church and Chapel (a rather bad settle- 
ment in the north wall was observed in the sip the road was 
followed by Monkton Farley to Bath. 
The Roman Villa, lately re-discovered at Box, was visited on 
Jan. 3rd. These remains have been long known to antiquaries, 
and are alluded to by Mr. Scarth in his ‘‘ Aquz Solis.” They are 
situated in the garden of a small house called Springfield Villa, 
immediately east of the Church. Owing to the recent decease 
of the proprietress, who appears to have been unwilling during 
her lifetime to have them uncovered, her executors, Messrs: 
Stier and Warwick, have done a good work in bringing them 
to light again, and giving every facility for the public to inspect 
them. -The remains consist of three semilunar baths, a hypocaust, 
the brick stelce supporting the floor, hot-air flues, a tesselated 
floor or passage, 30 feet long by six feet broad, and the capital 
of a Roman column. The pavement, with the usual rectangular 
pattern composed of tesserz of blue and white Lias, was in 
excellent preservation, as also was the crescent-shaped bath 
immediately to the south-west. The peculiarity of this bath, 
probably the cold bath in the frigidariwm (as there was a channe] 
for the water in the bend of the crescent, and a leaden pipe 
with 3in. bore in the north corner to carry it off), was the fact 
of its sides and floor being lined with white Lias tesserz, and 
must of course have been water-tight. The depth was 4ft., the 
cord of the bow 4ft. 6in., and the width from front to back 
7ft. 6in. Several visits were paid to these remains during the 
weekly walks of the Club, and much credit is due to Mr. 
Warwick for the labour and intelligence he has shown in the 
excavations, and the courtesy extended to the members during 
their visits. - 
The last monthly walk was to South Wraxall Manor House, 
on 7th of February. Train was taken to Bradford, thence up
