SHAFTESBURY iVIEfiTING. 1x1. 



DONHEAD S. jMaRY, 



the next halting place, the Club was received by the Rector, 

 Canon Short, who led them into the Rectory, where a large 

 collection of Neolithic flint implements was exhibited and 

 some specimens of Romano-British pottery, a quantity of which 

 had been lately discovered in the village. A curious feature of the 

 church which the Club inspected was a Holy Table, so con- 

 structed that by a telescopic arrangement it could be increased 

 to more than twice its usual size. At 



Berwick S. John 



the Rector took the members to the church, rebuilt in iS6o, 

 which contains stone effigies in chain armour of Sir Robert Lucy 

 and John Hussey. From thence they drove on to 



NORRINGTON MaNOR HoUSE, 



which Parker thus describes : — 



" A tolerably perfect manor house of the loth Century with the hall and porch 

 perfect. The hall windows are good Perpendicular, and the doorway of the 

 porch has a fine set of mouldings with shafts and deep hollows." 



From Norrington the Club drove through Ansty to 



Old Wardour Castle, 



an account of which will be found in Vol. XV. of the Club's 

 transactions, and, by kind permission of Lord Arundel, the 

 members inspected the modern residence of the Earls of 

 Arundel and the treasures of art which the house contains. 



Leaving Wardour, the Club drove on to Tisbury, where the 

 Rector, the Rev. F. E. Hutchinson, hospitably provided tea for 

 the party, who soon after dispersed.
