were to go to the making and mending of roads, that a special body 
of administrators called feoffees had to be created for the purpose of 
carrying out the terms of the bequest. These feoffees, it would 
seem, not knowing what otherwise to do with the funds they found 
themselves in possession of, and possibly with a view of making a 
thorough good job of the thing and saving themselves and others 
trouble, purchased the remains of the Druidical temple at Broome, 
and after having them broken up they were conveyed to Cricklade, 
and they now formed parts of the roads and footways of that town, 
so that those who would desire now to see those ancient remains, 
instead of going to Broome and looking up and measuring in their 
mind’s eye a stone said to be standing 10ft. high, would have to go 
to Cricklade and look down at their feet as they walked along to 
see the remains of this Druidical temple. Then he (Mr. Morris) 
would remark that in his opinion their neighbourhood was crowded 
with objects of interest which had not yet been described or even 
investigated, and which only waited to reward those who should 
seek after them and enquire into their history. On the previous 
day something had been said about Wanborough. But comparatively 
little was known about Wanborough to what might be known if 
proper time and attention was given to it. The neighbourhood of 
the Nythe was literally swarming with remains and evidences of 
the Roman period. But not only the Nythe; there were other 
places also, and he might mention that recently when the railway 
was being made from Swindon to Highworth it was discovered that 
its course ran along the edge of what undoubtedly was a very con- 
siderable Roman station. In this one place there were acres of 
ground which bore traces most inviting to the enquirer, and which 
promised him a rich reward for his labours. In the making of this 
railway, although the site was only slightly touched, a number of 
interesting relics and objects of interest were discovered, but un- 
fortunately they had all been carried away to distant parts before he 
(Mr. Morris) had heard of their discovery. There was one other 
point to which he would, with the permission of the Meeting, refer. 
Some few months since he had occasion to go into a field on the 
Marsh Farm, a very short distance from the Swindon Wharf, for
