the terraces and walks alone remaining to mark its site. TH Vicar 
(the Rev. E. Wells) acted as cicerone to the party, pointing out 
three piscine in the new Church, as well as an Early English 
column with sculptured cap, now serving as a reading-desk, and 
several good thirteenth century tiles let in to the wall at the back 
of the. piscinee—all of which came from the Church destroyed in 
1868. A stone coffin in the mortuary chapel and a stone with I N 
on it, in the new Church, were ported out as having come from 
the Church destroyed in the seventeenth century. Having seen 
the Churches, some of the party accompanied the Vicar to the 
vicarage, where a large COLLECTION OF ROMAN POTTERY (much 
of it New Forest Ware), iron objects (including a good many 
sandal cleats), glass fragments, &c., from the Roman villa excavated 
some years ago between the station and the vicarage, is preserved. 
Entering the train again for a few minutes, and getting out at 
Dunbridge, the party walked a mile or so to MOTTISFONT, where 
Mr. Doran Wess pointed out the most notable features in the 
CHURCH—the Norman chancel arch—Renaissance monument of 
the Sandys family in the chancel—and the considerable remains of 
good old glass in the heads of the windows of the chancel, as well 
the figures in the four upper lights and quatrefoil of the east 
window—the remainder of the window being good modern glass 
designed to match the old. Crossing the road the Members found 
themselves in the gardens of MOTTISFONT ABBEY, which, with the 
house itself, were thrown open to them by the kindness of Mr. 
D. MeinertzHacen. The house itself is featureless, though it 
stands on the site of the abbey, and portions of the buildings are 
incorporated in the modern walls; they are only to be seen, how- 
ever, in the thirteenth century undercroft, now forming the cellars, 
and in the kitchens. Preserved here are several remarkable 
specimens of Church needlework, the most notable being a portion 
of a chasuble of English work of the fifteenth century, in good 
condition, having upon it the crucifix with the figure of the Father 
above, and four separate figures of saints. There is also a very 
curious representation of the Last Supper—the disciples reclining 
at the table, which is said to have been the antependium for the
