president's adbress. 139 



Canon Donaldson, seconding the vote of thanks, said they 

 were certainly grateful for the remarks which the President had 

 made with regard to restoration of churches. Serious mistakes 

 had been made even in cases where restoration had been in the 

 hands of architects who made that particular work their special 

 study. At St. Keverne, the church contained features of unusual 

 interest in the peculiar arrangement of its rood-loft passages. 

 The restoration there had been carried out with great care, and 

 the waggon-roof had been preserved ; he could but express 

 a hope that those who were deeply interested in the question of 

 the architecture of our churches, and who had the means, would 

 come forward and help those responsible, to restore St. Keverne 

 Church even more completely than had yet been possible. 



The resolution was carried unanimously.
