Report of Meetings for 1889. By Dr. J. Hardy. 451 



enclosures for grass, in a line with Cunion Crags. Some of the 

 detached crested crags, on the moor- edges near, might have 

 formed pretty rock studies. Some of them are notched like 

 a cock's comb. In descending there were some curious 

 presentations of the ends of hills, and glimpses of country of 

 strange aspect, that were unmarked on the upper hill platforms. 



Simonside and Tosson Hills were glittering in the sun-light 

 beyond the elemental commotion that intervened, and laid dark 

 shadows on the intervening heights. We did not expect such a 

 diversity of prospect merely by turning our faces in the down- 

 ward direction. 



Several participated in Canon Ilderton's hospitality, and in 

 that of Mr Hall at the farm house. Afterwards Brandon was 

 passed, and we turned up near it by a steep road for Low 

 Hedgeley, where heavy rain had fallen. The site of the old 

 grave-yard was pointed out. Like Branton, the church here was 

 annexed to Eglingham, to which probably both had originally 

 belonged. At Hedgeley there is an extensive provision for cattle- 

 sheds, and stabling, and barns. 



The dinner was in Mr Huggup's granary.
