garden ; on the north side of the cloister was the guest-house with 
the cellarage underneath. 
Here then we have a perfect plan of the arrangement of a 
monastic house in the Middle Ages, and the student of antiquity 
and conventual history will have ample reward in visiting Old 
Cleeve. 
_ The whole morning was spent there by the members and 
Mr. Walcott’s plan and description was duly studied and appre- 
ciated. In the afternoon the Club walked to Blue Anchor, 
about three miles distant, taking the Church of Chapel Cleeve 
by the way. 
It should be mentioned that an account of the charters and other 
archives of Cleeve Abbey has already been published (See “ Som. 
Arch. and Nat. His. Soc. Proc.,” vol. vi). These were collected and 
arranged by the late Mr. Hugo. Drawings also are given of the 
common seal of the Abbey, and of one of the Abbots, David 
Juyner, A.D. 1435-1466, and also of the gate house and part of the 
-refectory. So that this interesting ruin has received the notice 
which it well deserves. Indeed the neighbourhood of Dunster 
has not only attracted the notice of the architect, antiquary and 
historian, but of the geologist as well. A paper on the geological 
formation of the neighbour hood by the late Mr. Arthur Jones 
will be found in the same vol. (ut supra ). 
A short walk after luncheon along the sea shore, to examine 
the alabaster rock near Blue Anchor, completed the second day’s 
excursion, and the members of the Club returned home much 
delighted by their visit to Dunster and its neighbourhood. The 
harvest having commenced, and the sheaves of corn standing in 
the half-cut field, added not a little to the delight of the landscape 
in this rost picturesque part of Somerset ; and the conjunction of 
wood, water, rock and turret, with the rich produce of the land, 
has left an pean on the mind which is as pleasant as it is 
enduring.
