of the earthworks. Traces of a stone wall were observed 

 on the interior rampart, and several interesting fragments 

 of Romano-British pottery, with a fevv sling-stones, were 

 picked up. These are now deposlted in the Museum. 



Passing by Sutton-Montis Church, where the Norman 

 chancel arch was greatly admired, the Company visited 

 the Church of North Cadbury, a remarkably fine specimen 

 of the perpendicular period. 



The next object of interest was the Church of All 

 Saints, Castle Cary, which has recently been restoi'ed. It 

 is a handsome structure of the perpendicular style, con- 

 sisting of a nave, two aisles, a chancel, and at the west end 

 a tower and spire. It belongs to the perpendicular period, 

 and was probably built about the reign of Henry VI. 



After the Company had partaken of refreshments at the 

 Town Hall, the Rev. Prebendary Meade read a paper on 

 " Castle Cary," which will be found in Part II. 



The Rev. W. A. Jones, h.a., e.g.s., presented a tran- 

 script he had made of a parchment document in the 

 Archives of the corporation of Bridgwater ; being an 

 inventory of the vestments of St. Catherine's Ile, in the 

 church of that town. This will be found in Part IL 



Tbe Rev. F. Warre, on behalf of the Society, ex-
