the view of the Cathedral from the north, its lofty tower and 

 steeple might break up the long line of the roof and upper part 

 of the nave. 



Mr. Maiden has also observed that the external dimensions on 

 plan, of the Cathedi-al tower and of the Belfry, are nearly, if not 

 quite, identical, and that tlie length of the nave of the Cathedi-al is 

 about the distance between the two buildings. 



It would be interesting to verify these measurements upon the 

 occurrence of another tropical summer, when the exact position and 

 lines of the old building might be again revealed.

^@^-?^ HAVE been asked, as in former years, to describe some of 

 ^kJ '^ ^^^ buildings visited on the excursions, and I am glad 

 that, as regards Eamsbury, Aldboui-ne, and Littlecot, I shall bo 

 relieved by Mr. Doran Webb, who is more familiar with their 

 history. 



I would say at the commencement that I do not propose to give 

 an exhaustive description of the Churches (which would take more 

 time than we could spare), but merely to point out some of the 

 more interesting evidences of the history of the buildings which are 

 afforded by the stinictiu-es themselves. 



There are three points of similarity in the six Parish Churches 

 and two desecrated Chapels of which I have taken notes for this 

 meeting.
