 The Wootton Bassett Almanack and Directory for 1896, published 



by S. Riddick, contains a series of notes on the history of the place by Mr. 



W. P. Parsons, which it is much to be wished may be continued and extended 



in future numbers. No one knows so much of its history as Mr. Parsons. 



GriUman's Devizes Public Register, Almanack, and Directory for 

 1896, has an article of 7 pp. on " Wiltshire Antiquities," by C, G., illustrated 

 by cuts of Stonehenge, the Saxon Church at Bradford, and the old Noncon- 

 formist Chapel at Horningsham. The author dwells on the fact that these 

 three Wiltshire buildings mark three distinct eras in the religious history of 

 the country, and that each of them is the oldest of its kind in England. In his 

 account of Stonehenge the writer wisely follows Mr. Flinders Petrie, but he is 

 not correct in saying that the blue stones of the inner circle " undoubtedly 

 came from Normandy." The description of the Saxon Church at Bradford is 

 much to the point — and the sketch of the history of the old Horningsham 

 Chapel is not without interest.
