Village. Stonegrave is a small, but neat village, 

 situated at the very foot of the steep brow of Cauk- 

 lass, by which it is so completely hid in approach- 

 ing it from the north, that the traveller stands on 

 the very precipice that immediately overlooks it, 

 before he is aware of its presence. Here sheltered 

 from the northern blast, and, as it were nestling, 

 and seeking protection under its friendly bank, 

 may each inhabitant feelingly acknowledge the 

 truth and beauty of those celebrated lines oi Gold* 

 smith. 



Dear is that home to which his soul conforms, 



And dear that hill which shields him from the storms^ 



And as a child, when scaring sounds molest, 



Clings close and closer to his mother's breast, 



So the loud tempest, and the whirlwind's roar, 



But triad him to his native mountain more. 



GOLDSMITH'S TRAVELLER. 



The village festival, or Stonegrave feast, occurs 

 on Trinity-sunday. 



CHURCH.

 Saxon arches, separating the north and south aisles 

 from the body of it, and an antique screen, and 

 pannels of carved oak in the chancel, H might, 



under a different and more uniform arrangement of
