1915.] VISIT OF THE SOCIKTE JERSIAISE. 209 



heartily congratulated Mr. Allon Pitt on the undoubted 

 antiquity of these articles and of the Church in general. The 

 exterior was closely examined ; the " corbie steps " at the 

 west end and the various styles of architecture in the building 

 were duly noted, and it was regretted that Mr. W. H. Auger, 

 the organist of the Church, who has made it his particular 

 study, and has written an exhaustive account of it, could not 

 be present to show the building more minutely. About 5 p.m. 

 the party returned to Town, the visit to Ivy Castle having 

 been abandoned on account of the rain setting in. 



On Tuesday, August 3rd, the visitors, with about 20 

 members of this Society, proceeded in several brakes to visit 

 the Churches of the upper parishes. The Rev. W. J. Ozanne, 

 Rector of St. Martin's, showed the party over that Church. 

 The sculptured menhir at the South Gate excited much 

 interest and the South Porch was greatly admired. 



The next Church visited was St. Andrew's. The Rector 

 (the Rev. J. U. Pilbeam) was unfortunately absent on his 

 holiday, but the Church was open and the party thoroughly 

 examined it, and afterwards adjourned to " Rosenheim," where 

 the stone troughs, arches and other relics of old Guernsey 

 collected by the late General and Mrs. Huyshe were shown. 



The Forest Church was the next to be visited. The 

 Rev. E. F. Colman, the Rector, received the visitors and 

 showed them all the interesting parts, and the plate was on 

 view in the Church. This was greatly appreciated by the 

 Clerical members of the Jersey party, who have much inte- 

 resting Ecclesiastical plate in their charge in the Jersey 

 parishes. 



The time allotted had by now been much exceeded, and 

 it was decided to omit the visit to Torteval Church. Having 

 been entirely rebuilt in 1818 it does not contain much of 

 interest, and the absence of the Rector (the Rev. R. H. 

 Tourtel), on his holiday, would have deprived the intended 

 visit of even what might have been an interesting description. 



Lunch was taken at the Pleinmont Hotel and at 2.30 a 

 move was made to the Church of St. Peter-in-the-Wood. The 

 Rector (the Rev. H. W. Brock) conducted the party over 

 the Church, pointing out the original doors and tracery of 

 some of the windows. The Church was much admired, and 

 the singular rise of the floor from the west end up to the 

 Sanctuary was commented upon by the Archaeological mem- 

 bers. 



The next Church visited was St. Saviour's. The party 

 arrived at Sous l'Eglise and mounted by the steps, being
