we wandered in its pretty grounds, gathering forget-me-nots till tea- 
time ; and after our meal drove home again, arriving just after 7 p.m. 
This Expedition was repeated on August 28th, 1894. 
EXPEDITION TO DEERHURST. 
A dozen or more fellows, some with cameras, took train to Tewkes- 
bury, where they viewed the Abbey and the battle-field, and then 
walked to Deerhurst. At Deerhurst are some very interesting 
antiquities. The Church, began in Saxon times, contains a Saxon 
tower with a window of unique form, some Norman work and Gothic 
of various periods. It also has several interesting brasses (of which 
we took rubbings), and until lately had the distinction of being one 
of the few churches which still keep the communion table in the 
position which it held before the Reformation, namely, standing out 
from the wall, while the communicants sat all round it. This most 
interesting feature has lately been altered, destroying the continuity of 
the tradition and without any gain on the other side. Close by is a 
Saxon Chapel, about a thousand years old, which formed part of an 
old farm-house. The original structure has now been laid bare, and 
it is kept as a place of show. It consists of a nave and chancel, 
separated by a massive round arch. 
EXPEDITION TO GLOUCESTER, 
March 28th, 1894, by the courtesy of the Dean, we were shown 
over the Deanery, part of which, the library to wit, is Norman, and has 
been continuously inhabited ever since it was built ; this is one of the 
oldest dwelling houses in England, and is thus almost as old as the 
English nation. We visited the Cathedral, and finally spent a very 
interesting hour in Mr. John Bellows’ Printing Offices. Here is to be 
seen a portion of the Roman Wall of Gloucester, unearthed by Mr. 
Bellows himself; and the foreman was kind enough to explain to us 
all the processes of printing, from founding the type to the binding of 
the finished book. 
EXPEDITION TO BERKELEY CASTLE. 
On July sth, 1894, some 120 boys and masters started for 
Berkeley about mid-day. On arriving, we visited the quaint old
