After luncheon at the Pembroke Arms, the church, built in 
the Lombardic style by the Right Hon. Sidney Herbert, was 
visited. It is interesting as containing many valuable im- 
portations from Italy and elsewhere, glass mosaic work from 
Santa Maria Maggiore, Rome, twisted columns of marble from 
Palermo, glass windows from the Sainte Chapelle, Paris, carved 
wooden Flemish door panels, etc. Some of the painted glass 
dates from the 13th century. There is an ancient alms chest. 
adorned with wrought iron work, in the southern aisle. The 
old stone cross of Wilton is worth a glance in passing ; it occu- 
pies a picturesque position, with the ivy-covered ruins of the 
old church behind it. 
At 3.6 Wilton was left for Salisbury, where some of the 
members visited the Cathedral, while others to whom the 
great church was familiar enjoyed the privilege of a visit 
to the Archdeacon’s garden, a charming spot, now in full 
beauty, with good, old-fashioned grass lawns, and at the end 
a path by the river side. Some of the members paid a visit to 
the museum, where the Giant and the Hobby horse, last used 
on the occasion of the Coronation, are kept. There isa good, 
miscellaneous collection here, but the Blackmore museum, 
close by, is more interesting from an antiquarian point of view. 
Here are numerous exhibits of stone implements from many 
countries, some of them mounted for use. Not the least 
interesting case is that of the forgeries of flint implements with 
which “‘ Flint Jack’ for years contrived to deceive even the 
elect. He was found out at last by his making his wares too 
elaborate. They exhibit an amount of industry worthy of 
a better cause. There is a portrait of ‘‘ Flint Jack”’ himself 
in the case. There was time for a cup of tea at the station 
before the train left at 5, Bath being reached at 7 after a lovely 
day. 
Langport, July 11th, 1906.—A small party travelled to 
Langport by the 9.55 train from Bath, the weather, which 
seemed a little doubtful at first, improving as the day wore on. 
There being a somewhat long wait at Bridgwater oppor- 
tunity was taken to visit the church of St. Mary Magdalene, 
where the beautiful carved screens, both old and new, were 
much admired, and the ‘‘ Descent from the Cross ”’ examined 
with interest, the Vicar believing it, for various reasons, to be 
a genuine Murillo. On arrival at Langport, luncheon was 
the first consideration. This was satisfactorily provided at 
the Langport Arms, and at 2 o’clock a start was made by
