VOL. XVII. (3) EXCURSIOX— LEDBURY & EASTNOR 295 



effigy of a Priest in the Eucharistic vestments, within a pointed-arched 

 canopy, trefoiled in the head, and springing from two lateral shafts, with 

 moulded bases and caps, had been removed from its original position, 

 and was, when my notes were made, placed upright against a wall in 

 the north transept of the Church. This effigy is in a better state of 

 preservation than we usually find to be the case in effigies of so early 

 a period. The head reposes on a lozenge-shaped cushion ; the face 

 exhibits the moustache over the upper lip, and sharp crisp beard over 

 the chin. The hair appears cut close round the forehead. The Priest 

 commemorated is vested with the Amice folded about the neck without 

 any apparent parure ; in the Alb, which is plain and devoid of any parure 

 in front of the skirt ; over the Alb appear the extremities of the Stole, 

 which are long and plain ; the Maniple, which is worn over the left arm at 

 the wrist, is also plain. The sleeves of the Cassock, toga talaris, are visible 

 beneath the folds of the Chasuble, and are cuffed at the wrists ; the hands 

 are conjoined on the breast as in prayer. The Chasuble, which is well- 

 defined, is of moderate length, and is covered with the Orphery, coming 

 over the shoulders and disposed in front somewhat like an archiepiscopal 

 pall. Few effigies of the kind are indeed more interesting than this, as 

 will be seen by reference to the illustration. Of whom it is commemora- 

 tive I have no knowledge." 

 The old black and white half-timber Town Hall and Market Place is 



the finest remaining example in this part of the country. 



After lunch at the Feathers Hotel, the Members drove to Eastnor Castle, 



special facilities for seeing which had been granted by Lord Somers. 



The gardens and lake are very beautiful, and inside the Castle some are 



fine paintings, armour, and specimens of old French and Italian tapestry. 

 The Members returned from Ledbury by the 4.22 p.m. train.
