CHAPEL AT OLD JEDWARD. 



(Plate L) 



This plate is illustrative of the paper by Mr Walter Laidlaw, 

 F.S.A. (Scot.), on an " Interesting ArchtBological Discovery at 

 Old Jedward," included in the present volume. It supplies 

 the site of the ancient church there (2), the position of the 

 churchyard (3), and the station of the solitary ash tree (4), 

 which is referred to as marking the possible boundary to the 

 South of the chapel-buildings. 



SCULPTURED STONES FROM OLD JEDWARD. 

 (Plate II.) 



The stones here figured were discovered by Mr James Hall, 

 tenant of Earlshaugh, among the ruins of the ancient chapel 

 at Old Jedward, and were transferred to Jedburgh Abbey 

 by Mr Walter Laidlaw, F.S.A. (Scot.), for comparison with 

 those of that more stately building. On being submitted to 

 an eminent architect, they were pronounced to belong to the 

 early Norman period, the chevron or zig-zag pattern being 

 one of its commonest decorative features.
