 Celtic Period. He showed a complete skull and some of the bones 

 of pre-historic man found in the excavations at Old Sarum, also 

 a number of specimens of old china recently presented to the

Shaftesbury and The last general excursion of the season 



Old Wardour Castle, took place on Saturday, August 16, when 

 August 16, over 120 members went to Shaftesbury 



and Old Wardour Castle. Starting from 

 the Square, they drove via Horton Inn 

 and Farnham to Wardour where, by the kind permission of Lady 

 Arundell, they were allowed to drive through the park to the 

 private chapel, which was shown by one of the Fathers, the very 

 beautiful altar and vestments being greatly admired. They 

 then went to Old Wardour Castle, where the Rev. H. Shaen 

 Solly, M.A., read papers on the history of the Castle and on 

 Shaftesbury. The old Castle is beautifully situated and near 

 it are some fine cedars and a remarkable ironwood tree. The 

 drive to Shaftesbury was then resumed and the members were 

 there shown the Church of St. Peter, the Abbey ruins and the 

 extensive view from Castle Hill. Tea was taken in the Town 

 Hall and, leaving at 5.30 and returning by way of Cranborne 

 Chase, the party got back to the Square at about! 7.30.
