ARCDEACON BRYMERS ADDRESS. 69 
Archdeacon BRYMER said, within the last half-hour he 
had received some notes from Mr. Ferrey, on the 
magnificent parish church of St. Cuthbert’s, in that 
eity, and which was well worthy to be the daughter of the 
splendid cathedral. The notes were accompanied by two 
elaborate drawings of the very interesting discoveries made 
in St. Cuthbert’s in 1848, consisting of an ancient fresco, 
and two altar-pieces of peculiar beauty. He then pro- 
ceeded to read the notes, which gave a detailed description 
of the church, and were of great interest. He said, in con- 
celusion, it was to him a subject of great satisfaction and 
gratitude that the Almighty had put it into the hearts of 
the worthy vicar and parishioners of St. Cuthbert’s to 
attempt the restoration of their beautiful church. He sin- 
cerely trusted that they would be able fully to accomplish 
that good work, and that under God’s blessing they would 
make that edifice one of the most beautiful and perfect 
specimens of Gothic architecture that exist throughout the 
length and breadth of the land. 
Mr. C. E. GiLes said he had that morning examined the 
sculptures in St. Cuthbert’s church, and he felt that the 
same hands which executed them, produced also the beau- 
tifal specimens of the same kind which had been recently 
discovered in the church at Wellington. The latter were 
well worthy of being illustrated ; andthe committee proposed 
to give some drawings ofthem in their fortheoming volume.* 
He then stated that he had met with, a few days ago, in the 
church at Netherbury, Dorset, a remarkable series of figures 
in fresco. They seemed to be of the reign of Henry IV, 
and represented the various vices and virtues. Over 
several illustrations of charity were written the words, 
* The Committee hope to enrich a future vol. with illustrations of the 
sculpture in St, Cuthbert’s.
