Mr. M. H. Scott, the Hon. Secretary for Excursions, informs me 
‘the Excursions for the year were not well attended. Those in the 
published Programme for April 23rd, 1901, to Chew Magna and 
‘Stanton Drew, and for May a2tst, 1901, to Cadbury Camp and 
Queen Camel took place with only nine Members attending each. 
The third Excursion arranged for the year to Abingdon, Dorchester 
and Wittenham, on June 18th, failed through paucity of replies 
from Members desirous of taking part therein, only two expressing

trip to Symond’s Yat and Goodrich Castle, and duly took place 
on July 16th, r901, again only nine Members attending. Mr. 
M. H. Scott sends me his notes on the three Excursions which 
were successful, and I here give them.

of the season. Nine members started at nine o’clock in a brake 
for Chelwood, which was reached about 11 o’clock. The 
church, which is small but interesting, was visited. The tower is 
Early English, the font Norman, and in the West window is some 
Rouen glass, which had evidently at one time been removed and had 
puzzled those who put it up again, for it presented a kaleidoscopic 
medley. On the South wall is a tablet to the memory of the Rey. 
Richard Warner, formerly rector of Chelwood, and author of the 
“ History of Bath,” publishedin 1800. He was subsequently rector 
-of Great Chalfield, where he died in 1857. 
The party next drove to Chewstoke, where they were received 
at the church by Mrs. Waldy, in the absence of the rector, the 
Rev. R. V. S. Penfold. The church has been very much 
“restored,” and is garish with painted texts round the arches and 
everywhere else where they could be put. There are angel corbels 
in stone in the nave, in wood in the south aisle. The arches of 
the nave arcade have no capitals, but pseudo-capitals have been 
made by surrounding them with a ring of angels with extended
