Maud Heath's Causey, by H. G. Archer, an illustrated article in 

 The Queen, March 15th, 1913. There are five nice photo process views 

 of " Maud Heath's reputed tomb in the tower of Langley Burrell 

 Church," " The column on Bremhill Wick Hill, crowned by effigy of 

 Maud Heath," " The Road and Causey where they cross the perilous 

 flat," " The pillar and sundial at the Avon Bridge," "The old Moravian 

 settlement at Tytherton Kellaways." This is quite a good article, 

 founded, as the author states, largely on Canon Jackson's paper 

 W.A.M. i. 251. He points out however that whereas Canon Jackson 

 speaks of her as a spinster the inscription on the Avon pillar of 1698 

 calls her " widow." The tomb at Langley Burrell is of course, as the 

 writer states, of much earlier date than Maud Heath, " and the 

 attributing of it to her is due to a statement of Aubrey's. The Heath 

 or Hethe family seem to have occupied a position during the 15th 

 century at Bremhill, above that of the yeoman class to which Maud is 

 traditionally held to have belonged. 



The Church and Dr. Sacheverell. A good article by E. Her- 

 mitage Day, F.S.A., in The Treasury, March, 1913, pp. 584—590, 

 with portrait from print, bringing out the fact that Sacheverell has 

 been undeservedly abused by Whig historians.
