been beautifully said, plucked like wild flowers from the ruined 
tombs which border the highways of antiquity, to make garlands 
for living foreheads. Then will he have studied profitably, then 
will his experience of the present be illumitied by the sparkling 
light shed upon it from ancient precedents, and he will be strength- 
ened to act his part, by the conciousness that he is not an isolated 
fragment of humanity, but a member of the one great family of 
man, with high endowments, grave responsibilities, and formed for 
the noblest destinies.

This Church was demolished in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, by order of 
Edmund Gheast, who became Bishop of Salisbury in 1571, and gave the order 
for demolishing it in the first year of his translation. 
The order still remains in the Registry of the Diocese of Salisbury, and at 
some times of the year the site of the Church can be accurately traced. It appears 
to have been about 75 feet long, by 20 broad, the chancel somewhat narrower. 
In the Book of the Church goods of Wilts seized by the Crown, under a 
Commission dated March 3rd, 1553; and which Book bears the signatures of 
‘¢ Antony Hungerford and Wyllyam Wroughton,” two of the Commissioners, 
there is the following entry as to Draycot Foliot :—
