NOTES FOR THE TOURIST. 



of which Mr. Walbran in his Guide Books thus speaks : " Kising 

 immediately above the foundations of the infirmary and other offices 

 of the abbey, we see the several parts of the conventual church, chapel 

 of nine altars, choir, transept, tower, and nave, successively developed ; 

 nearer us and parallel with the south end of the transept the 

 chapter house ; next, but placed in a contrary direction towards the 

 river, comes the common house. After that the kitchen, with its tall 

 chimney, and the court-house above. Then the refectory, with its 

 graceful lancet lights ; then, receding to the cloister-court, the buttery 

 and its little garth ; and lastly, in connection with the main structure, 

 the vast range of the lay brothers' and guests' dormitory, stretching 

 nearly from our feet to the nave of the church. Turning in the con- 

 trary direction, we may observe, on the slope of the hill above, a part 

 of the wall which bounded the site of the monastery ; the intermediate 

 broken ground having been chiefly occupied by the common stable, 

 guests' stable, barns, kilns, tan-house, bark-mill, dove-cotes, forge, and 

 other similar offices. Of these, the Mill to which large granaries 

 were formerly annexed is alone left entire, and will be observed 

 immediately before us, shrouded in tall trees, and running on merrily, 

 as in days of yore." All the styles of Architecture, from the late 

 Norman Nave to the Perpendicular Tower a very fine and almost 

 complete specimen are represented. See Walbraris Guide to Eipon 

 and Fountains Abbey. 



The NEW CHURCH in Studley Park is a fine specimen of Early 

 Decorated work, and will amply repay an inspection on the visitor's 

 return to the Lodge. It was erected by the Marchioness of Eipon, 

 who laid the foundation stone in September, 1871. The chancel 

 enriched with marble and fresco paintings is very charming. See 

 Harrison's Guide to Studley Eoyal and the Church of S. Mary. 



MARKENFIELD HALL, a large castellated structure 3 miles north- 

 west of Bipon was built in the time of Edward III., presents a fine 

 specimen of those ancient houses of England, which from the increas- 

 ing sociability, security, and polish of the times, began to arise during 

 the reign of the third Edward. See Memorial Edition of Walbraris 

 Guide.
