ANTIQUITIES. 25 



The Rev. John Wickens, of whose executors it was 

 purchased by the Rev. G. R. Langdon, of St. Paul's 

 Cray, Kent, who sold it in 1857 to Mrs. Charleton. 

 Since the death of his aunt (Mrs. Charleton), Mr. 

 Woodman has been his own patron ; which shows 

 that an alteration in the law of patronage is much 

 needed. 



Antiquities. 



A bronze celt for cutting down trees was dug up on 

 Newland Common, two or three years ago, by Henry 

 Warr. An old rusty iron spur (very long) was found 

 by William Durrant on Whitedown, just outside of 

 Dungeon, some years ago ; and which the Rev. W. 

 Barnes, Rector of Came the Dorset poet thought 

 was very ancient. It has unfortunately been lost. 



A few old coins have been found, from time to 

 time such as monk's base money, old Spanish 

 moid as, &c. 



In the Manor House are some very fine pieces of 

 old Chelsea china ; Japanese and Chinese, with the 

 three, four, and five-claw dragons upon them which 

 belonged to Captain Dale. The freedoms of Glasgow, 

 Renfrew and Stirling (which were presented to him), 

 are exceedingly curious. There is, also, the old gold 

 watch given him by Governor Lally, who came over to 

 England in Captain Dale's ship, when Pondicherry was 

 taken from the French.
