NOTICES OF ARCaiTECTtJRE IN BERWICKSHIRE 27 



every one interested in the ruined fane. The doorway is now 

 complete, and forms a noble companion to that in the west wall 

 of the chapter-house. 



Dryburgh is well illustrated and described in Eccles. Arch, of 

 Scotland, vol. i., pp. 448-64. The motto on the heraldic shield 

 figured on p. 457 has been mis-read by the authors, and should 

 be DVRVM PATiENTiA PRANGO. The quaint thirteenth century 

 inscription on the cloister wall to the north of the chapter-house 

 doorway, almost close to the ground — hic jacet archebald' — 

 is worthy of notice. 



NENTHORN. — Two grave slabs were discovered in the 

 churchyard when re-visited by me on 16th July 1894. They 

 had been concealed by tall grass and herbage, and so escaped 

 notice when I first examined the site. The larger (Plate III., 

 Fig. 4) is about six feet in length, and displays near the upper 

 and wider end an incised double circle, with floriated cross, each 

 of the arms terminating in an ornament resembling a fleur 

 de lis, which is repeated in the spaces between. Beneath the 

 cross and a little to one side is an incised pair of shears. The 

 other slab has no mark or inscription upon it, but has been 

 more carefully wrought, and is slightly coped. 



WESTUUTHER. Bassendean.— This church is also de- 

 scribed in vol. in., p. 412, of Messrs Macgibbon and Ross's 

 work, where a plan of the building is given, along with a 

 diagram showing the mouldings of the window jamb.
