60 Anniversary Address. 



remember its previous condition and can appreciate ecclesias- 

 tical order and propriety. The various points of interest in 

 the fabric, and some beautiful medallions of stained glass were 

 minutely examined and described on the spot by the Vicar. 

 On leaving the Church, we visited in the Church-Yard, with 

 mournful interest, the last resting place of him who gave 

 to our Club " a local habitation and a name." From thence 

 we were guided to the site of the new Church of St. Mary, 

 the foundation stone of which had been laid a few days before 

 by the Bishop of the Diocese. The cemetery, the pier, the 

 old fortifications, and the sea-banks comprised the extent of 

 the day's ramble, and at dinner we sat down, fifteen in

 Shepley Watson Watson, of Berwick, Matthew Culley, Esq., 

 of Coupland Castle, the Rev. James Turnbull, of Graden, and 

 Mr. John Clay, of Berwick.

 sumptuous breakfast at Dr. Embleton's, the day cleared up, 

 a boat was in readiness, and a visit to the Fame Islands was 

 determined upon by the majority of the members. Others 

 visited the ruins of the old Chapel on the point, and examined 

 the geological strata of the coast, under the guidance and 

 direction of Mr. Tate. At dinner which, from want of ac- 

 commodation in the Inn, the Secretary had kindly ordered to
