expense of the transepts was borne by tbe family. The 

 Company were invited to go through the noble mau- 

 slon of R. Neville Grenville, Esq., and readily availed 

 tliemselves of tlie opportunity, the esteemed proprietor 

 most kindly exhibiting the many objects of interest and 

 value in the library and among the miniatures and paint- 

 ings, &c., with whlch the manslon is adorned. 



The Programme included also Visits to Baltonsborough, 

 West Pennard, and Ponter's Ball, and several of the 

 gentlemen present were anxlous to see the earthworks at 

 the latter spot, but It was found to be impracticable. 

 These works, in common with all the others of importance 

 in the county, have been carefuUy examined by the Eev.

 at Ponter's Ball, and round Glastonbury Tor, and else-

On Weduesday morning another excm'sion was taken, 

 and opened under somewhat more favourable auspices. 

 There were several showers during the day, but the rain 

 was not so heavy, and gleams of sunshine were more fre- 

 quent. The route included Meare, Wedmore, Cheddar, 

 and Rodney Stoke. 



At Meake the first object of interest was the " Porter's 

 Lodge," supposed to have been so called from its proximity 

 to the ancient country residence of the Abbots of Glaston- 

 bury. The " Fish House " was then visited. The party 

 were here overtaken by rain ; but their spirits were by no 

 means damped, as was shewn by the remark of the Rev.
