model, though not in the photograph. Five openings on each side of 

 the chancel entrance and under the middle of the Salthrop pew. I do 

 not remember, says Mr. Oodrington, what it was like.

The maker of the model so often referred to was named Lloyd. He 

 was no doubt also the maker of the models of Clyffe Pypard Church, 

 now in the possession of Mrs. Wilson, at Clyffe Manor (W.A.M. xxxvii., 

 422, note), and of Purton Church now in the possession of Miss Prower, 

 grand-daughter of the Rev. Canon J. M. Prower, Vicar of Purton, for 

 whom the model was made. 



Mr. T. Codrington remembered the fact that the model maker, 

 Lloyd, was employed in several parishes in the county. 



The age of the " cylindrical notched glass beads" 



found in Wiltshire BarroWS. In the Journal of Egyptian 

 Archaeology, vol. I., Part I., January, 1914, p. 18, occurs an important 

 note by Professor Sayce, on "The Date of Stonehenge." "Egypt," he 

 writes, " has helped to fix the chronology of prehistoric Crete ; I am 

 now able to show that it can perform the same service for Britain. 

 Hitherto there has been no possibility of determining the period when 

 Stonehenge was built ; the attempt to do so astronomically, at all 

 events, has not secured the suffrages of the archaeologist. And there 

 seemed no other means whereby its age could be fixed. That it belongs 

 to the beginning of the Bronze Age, however, has long been fairly clear. 

 A stone with a copper stain was found by Dr. Gowland during the 

 excavations at Stonehenge in 1901, and chippings from the sarsen blocks 

 of the outer circle have be«n discovered in at least two of the adjoining 

 Bronze Age barrows. We may therefore conclude that the blocks were 

 erected at no great interval of time before the construction of the 

 barrow. Most of the objects found have been deposited in the Museum 

 at Devizes. Among them are numerous beads described as "notched 

 beads of blue glass." What was my surprise to find that they were 

 neither notched nor of glass, but were well-known Egyptian beads of 

 Egyptian Faience and coated with Egyptian blue glaze. They are beads 

 moreover, which belong to one particular period in Egyptian history, the 

 latter part of the age of the Eighteenth Dynasty and the earlier part of 

 that of theNineteenthDynasty,and are known to Egyptian archseologists 

 as cylindrical beads formed of circular disks. There is a large number 

 of them in the Devizes Museum. . . . Three of them come from 

 Stonehenge itself (Barrow 39) ... . 



"The period to which they belong may be dated B.C. 1450—1250, 

 and as we must allow some time for their passage across the trade 

 routes to Wiltshire, an approximate date for their presence in the 

 British Barrows will be B.C. 1300. Consequently Stonehenge will 

 have been erected in the 14th century before our era. In one of the
