with its handsome tower, the Lord Mayor’s Chapel was reached. 
The tower of this chapel (St. Mark’s) is visible from the tramway 
centre, and has often puzzled visitors, who have vainly endeavoured 
to find to what Church it belongs. The Chapel is not usually 
open on Tuesdays, but the Club had obtained special permission 
from the Lord Mayor, and were shown its points of interest by 
the intelligent sextoness. It was originally the Church of the 
Bons Hommes Hospital, one of the oldest monuments being that 
to Sir Henry Gaunt, first master of the hospital, which is dated 
1268. The Gaunt and Poyntz Chapels are very interesting, the 
latter having a fan roof like that of Henry VII.’s Chapel at 
Westminster Abbey. The fine stained glass windows in the 
Gaunt Chapel and the window representing St. Thomas a Becket, 
over the arch, were purchased from Beckford’s House, Fonthill. 
The fine painting in the Chancel is a copy by John King, a local 
artist (1830), from a picture by Rubens. 
After luncheon at the Royal Hotel, the Cathedral was visited 
under the guidance of a most intelligent and obliging verger (O/ 
st sic omnes /). An excellent account of the Cathedral is to be 
found in the Bristol volume of Bell’s ‘‘ Cathedral series.” The 
Church of St. Mary, Redcliff was finally inspected under the able 
guidance of the genial verger, Mr. Cross, whose remarks on men 
and things were greatly appreciated. Then, it being late, the party 
made their way to the railway station, whence, after a welcome 
cup of tea, they departed for Bath, having spent a pleasant and 
instructive day, the afternoon turning out quite fine and warm. 
Box Roman Villa, October 14th, 1902.—In spite of showery 
and threatening weather, some nine Members of the Club and 
their friends travelled to Box on Tuesday, October 14th, to 
inspect the Roman remains in the grounds of Mr. T. Hardy, of 
Box, who kindly showed his visitors all that was to be seen. 
Three hypocausts or heated chambers and two tesselated pave- 
ments are uncovered. The pavements, though imperfect, are 
yery good and contains several features of interest in their
