can still see, at Hereford Walter de Lozing was building 

 the choir, 1079-1005, and after this the nave, 1095-1110. At 

 St. Albans, Paul of Caen was building the nave and other 

 parts, 1080-1115 ; Walstan's crypt at Worcester dates from 

 1089 ; Gloucester nave and crypt were built by Serle, 1089- 

 noo ; Tewkesbury Abbey about 1089 (Scott) ; but most 

 interesting is Ely, because this was built by Simeon, brother 

 of Walkelin, of Winchester, and almost at the same time, 

 1082-1107. The portion that remains of this date, unaltered 

 or nearly so, consists, as at Winchester, of the transepts. 

 Simeon's tower fell in 1322, two hundred years after the 

 fall of Walkelin's tower. The general character of this 

 early \vrk at Ely is very similar to that at Winchester, 

 equally severe, equally impressive. As examples of Nor- 

 man work in its later, more developed, stage, we have the 

 five-jointed transept work at Winchester, 1120; Porches- 

 ter, 1133; St. Cross, in part, 1136 and after; elsewhere 

 we have the north transept of Hereford, 1131-1148; Buildwas 

 Abbey, Shropshire, 1135; St. Bartholomew, Smithfield, about 

 1125; and (according to Parker) Tewkesbury, 1120. Then 

 for the last quarter of the i2th century, we have the tran- 

 sept of St. Cross ; Romsey, about 1180; the two western 

 bays of the nave at Worcester ; and the nave, west tower, 

 and south-west transept of Ely, 1189. The transition from 

 pure Norman to almost pure Early English is seen to per- 

 fection in the choir of Canterbury, the work of William of 

 Sens and William the Englishman, 1175-1184. 



Dr. Davies concluded a very interesting paper by a dis- 

 cussion of the leading features of Norman architecture 

 arches, capitals and apses ; and a glance at Italy, Ger- 

 many, France, and Palestine, as regards architecture in the 

 period from 1050 to 1200 A.D. 



THE HAMPSHIRE INDEPENDENT, February 15, 1890. 



THE LAST OF THE HAMPSHIRE WIND- 

 MILLS. 



I may not be correct, but my memory does not at the 

 moment supply me with a picture of any other living 

 windmill used for grinding than the one at Owsle- 

 bury, between Upham and Winchester. I mean as 

 regards the County of Hants. There are several 

 dead windmills in the county perhaps I know the 

 most of them one at Hythe, one at Bursledon, one 

 or two in the Isle of Wight, and others but I feel 

 sorrow in saying that many of the picturesque and 

 old-time windmills are not now in the active life of 

 the living. Ovvslebury is a place I had not been into 

 till last Tuesday. I had seen its church high up 

 and its mill miles off but had not been within touch 

 and sound. It certainly has much of a by-gone look 

 about it, and I take it Mr. Shore would feel as happy 

 as if in paradise if ke had half-a-day around and 

 about it. Perhaps he can say why it is called " Ussel- 

 bury." There is room for improvement in the work- 

 ing of the land here, and the natives say "Let us 

 have it in 40 or 50 acre lots and we can live and pay 

 our way." So mote it be, say I. P.
