It would probably be necessary to go back to the year B.c. 
2348 to find a rainfall equal to that of last year, consequently, 
for a Section which has to pursue its quests at a considerable 
distance, it has not been easy to compass many expeditions, 
but four successful ones have been made. In the Easter 
term we went to the old church of Elkstone in the Cotswolds ; 
and in the summer term, when we had the advantage of 
Mr. Prothero’s guidance, we visited Brockworth, which, like 
Elkstone, has some of the finest Norman work in the neighbour- 
hood, while close to the church is a magnificent timbered 
house; still further afield, an expedition was made at the end 
of the summer term to Ashworth across the Severn, which is 
partly a Saxon church; while in the winter term Badgworth and 
Churchdown were visited. It is to be hoped that the weather 
will be kinder to us in the coming year, and that more ex- 
peditions will be practicable. In the winter term a very 
interesting lecture was given to the Society on ‘ Pompeii’ by 
the Rev. Canon Bazeley.
