described that it is unnecessary to detail them here. The chief 
point of interest is that they appear to have belonged, not to a

Outside the North wall of Mr. Hardy’s garden there is a sort of 
plinth, extending for a considerable distance, with what looks like

It may well be, then, that Box was a Roman town of some 1mport-

The pavements are about to be protected for the winter. Some
