32 ANNUAL EXCURSION. 



Nash, the architect of Buckingham Palace. In 1869, about 

 2,000 Eoman coins, small brass, of the 3rd century, were discov- 

 ered buried in a tin jug in the Caerhays Yalley. Thirty of them 

 were presented to the Museum at Truro. On the way to St. 

 Austell the church of St. Michael Caerhays, one of the prettiest 

 country churches in Cornwall, was visited. Here was to be seen 

 much that was interesting, including monuments to members of 

 the Trevanion family, and a small sword used by Sir Hugh 

 Trevanion at Bosworth Field ; also what has been supposed to 

 be a leper's window. The church was restored by Mr. J. C. 

 Williams in 1883. A short stay was also made at St. Ewe, and 

 the church inspected. St. Austell was reached shortly after six 

 o'clock. Undoubtedly the success of the day's proceedings was 

 mainly due to the indefatigable and courteous hon. sec. (Major 

 Parkyn), and those who worked so cordially with him.
