being Norman. From the churchyard the “cove” can be seen, 
three stones which may or may not have some direct connection 
with the circles. Passing the old “ Bishop’s house” and the 
_ quaint bridge over the Chew, the party proceeded to Pensford, 
where, after inspecting the church, which dates from the 14th 
century, the head of a churchyard cross was pointed out, inserted 
in the wall of a modern cottage. One panel is a rood, with the 
Saviour in the centre upon the cross, the Blessed Virgin Mary on 
one side and St. John the Divine on the other. The other panel 
is difficult to explain, even if it represents our first parents under 
the tree of the forbidden fruit. It was now getting late, so after 
tea at the Rising Sun, the party returned to Bath via Keynsham, 
the cyclists of the party, five in number, preceding them; and 
Pulteney Street was reached at 7.30 p.m., after a fine sunny day, 
of which full advantage was taken by the photographers of the 
party.

for North Cadbury. The Rector was absent at a Ruridecanal 
Meeting, but Mrs. Boys, in her husband’s place, very kindly

St. Michael the Archangel. There are some altar tombs, and a 
lengthy epitaph on a small brass to Lady M. Hastings, who, it 
; appears, was so “churchy” in her tastes that she always had 
three priests in her house. The bench ends are finely carved and 
of great variety of design ; a good deal of the carving bears the 
“linen pattern.” On the back of one of the seats is the date 
1538 in Roman lettermg. The entrance to the rood screen is
