was visited. A card of description has been placed on the 
tomb of the Newtons, but the other monuments are undescribed 
and the old sexton could tell nothing about them except that 
he “ thought one was a Wraxall.’”’ The remains of the cross— 
steps and socket only—show what a splendid cross it must 
have been when complete. 
At Congresbury, after the Church had been examined, the 
Vicar kindly pointed out the beauties of his old house, built in 
1465 by the Trustees of Bishop Beckington; there is an interest- 
ing porch, and the carved heads at the ends of the drip- 
moulding over the windows are wonderfully perfect. The 
church contains some interesting features, notably the nave 
roof, and the way it is brought down to the clerestory. The 
font is said to be 12th Century, and the basin may be so, but 
the pillar base looks much more modern. The monument in 
the Merle Chapel, which records only the marriage of a lady 
is curious. There is a very fine peal of bells, the tenor being 
of especially good tone. The village cross is good, but some 
enthusiastic yokel has painted the ball on the top a brilliant 
blue. 
After a frugal luncheon at the “ Ship and Castle,’” Wrington 
was visited, and the Church tower, so greatly praised by Mr. 
Freeman, duly appreciated. Wrington has been so often 
described that no further mention is necessary. Thence, 
the party drove back to Yatton, where there was plenty of 
time for a comfortable tea at the Station Hotel before the 
return journey, by the 6 o'clock train, Bath being reached at 
6.51. 
An announcement having appeared in a Wiltshire paper 
that a Memorial Cross, over the grave of Thomas Moore, the 
Irish poet, in Bromham Churchyard, would be unveiled on 
November 24th, a few members of the Club proceeded thither,, 
leaving Bath at noon. After luncheon at the “ Bear,” 
Devizes, the party drove to Bromham, where the Cross was. 
duly unveiled, with numerous speeches from Irish members. 
of Parliament, and others. The Cross is in general design and 
proportions adapted from the High Cross of Muiredach,,. 
at Monasterboice, County Louth, one of the finest of the 
Irish crosses, and the best preserved. On the Moore Cross, 
however, an interlacing ornament takes the place of the 
figure subjects on the original, the ornament being taken 
from ancient examples. The inscription on the cross.
