Account of a ‘Grinity’ Ming 
FOUND IN FELLING AN OAK AT CHUTE, WILTS.

a Society is indebted for the accompanying engraving to 
&W/)i the liberality of Miss Wickins, of the Close, Salisbury, a lady 
whose pencil has been frequently and ably employed in the illus- 
tration of the archzological remains of the county. 
This ring, which is of very pure gold, is of small size, suitable 
to the finger of a female. It is of good design, although not of 
very elaborate workmanship. The etching on the facet represents 
the Holy Trinity—the Supreme Being holding a crucifix, and 
having on the right a dove; in the left corner is a palm branch. 
The outside of the ring is of a simple twisted pattern. Inside are 
engraved, apparently in a more modern style, the words “ Pensez 
bien.” It is now in the possession of T. E. Fowle, Esq., of Dur- 
rington, Wilts. A larger gold ring, of very similar design, was 
found last year in a garden near Salisbury, and is now in’ the 
possession of Mr. Cunnington, of Devizes. 
Trinity Rings of more elaborate workmanship, found at Orford 
Castle, Suffolk, and within the precincts of Lewes Priory, are de- 
scribed and engraved in the Journal of the Archeological In- 
stitute, vol. vii. p. 89, 322. They are attributed to the early 
_ part of the fifteenth century. Wee
