Person is plainly recognised, with the right hand held up in 
blessing, and the left holding an open book; in the centre is the 
figure of some animal with a cross on its back and a scroll or 
serpent issuing from its mouth, opposite to which is another 
human figure with what is considered to be a bird or dove in its 
right hand. There are some good “ squints,” or “ squinches ;” and 
two recesses on the inside of the chancel wall contain earthenware 
jars with their mouths facing towards the altar. Were these for 
acoustic purposes or for containing relics? In the west wall of the 
transept is a pretty lancet window, considered to be a leper’s

devotees connected with the Deucalion or Pyrrha myth. The 
Decorated windows are remarkably elegant. 
_ Leaving Tarrant Rushton, and crossing the downs to Badbury 
Rings, Professor Buckman and a large party of the members of 
the Dorset Field Club had already left their carriages, and were 
dotted about the Camp, waiting for the arrival of the repre- 
sentatives of the Bath Field Club. The two Clubs having joined 
their forces, proceeded at once to inspect the Camp, passing in 
through the west entrance. Having taken up a sheltered position 
on the east side, and opposite that entrance, Sir Talbot Baker, 
after a few words of apology for attempting to describe the 
Camp, which was much less familiar to him than either Hamildon 
or Hod hill, said it was evidently made by the same people as the 
others, and was an ancient British Camp constructed for defence, 
and was admirably situated for that purpose. Coker’s idea that 
it was of Saxon construction was decidedly erroneous—“ though 
King Edward the Elder, coming against his cousin Ethelwald, 
that had taken and fortified Wimborne, pitched his tents at this 
place.” Quoting from Mr. Bloxam, he concurred in his view that 
the Belgie, seeing its fine positiun, had fortified this hill against
