The third meeting for the year was held at Hedgeley on 

 Thursday, 23rd July, in ideal summer weather, which secured

 Weatherhead, Berwick ; Canon Wilsden, Wooler ; and Mr 

 H. G. Wilkin, and Mrs Wilkin, Alnwick. 



The difficulty of obtaining carriages in the immediate 

 neighbourhood having been overcome by an adequate supply 

 from Alnwick, the party left the Station punctually at 11-40, 

 and following the right bank of the Breamish through the 

 village of Branton, where a notable Presbyterian place of 

 worship abuts upon the road, they forded the river below 

 Brandon, whose ancient chapel and burying place afford 

 scope for further antiquarian research. From this point, 

 facing Eastward, may be obtained a good view of Crawley 

 Tower, an old Pele occupying the East angle of a Eoman
