PRESENTED AT THE MEETING OF THE CLUB, MAY 14TH, 

 1918, BY THE RESTORED CHURCHES COMMITTEE. 



(Rev. A. C. ALMACK, M.A., Corresponding Secretary.) 



IHE appointment of the " Restored Churches 

 Committee " was first suggested by the Rev. 

 A. C. Almack at one of the Winter Meetings 

 of the season 1913-14, and the Committee was 

 formed at the Annual Business Meeting of the 

 Club in May, 1914. It was felt that in some, 

 perhaps in many, cases important architectural 

 and other features might have been lost by 

 churches in the county of Dorset, owing to 

 reconstruction or alteration during the various "restora- 

 tions " which had been carried out during the last 

 70 or 80 years ; and that photographs, engravings, letterpress 

 or manuscript descriptions of these lost features, with personal 

 recollections, might be available now, which might not be in 

 existence in years to come. It appeared to be eminently 

 desirable, whilst it was possible to procure such information, 

 that a record should be compiled of such losses and should be 

 preserved for future use,
