photo-process illustrations : — West View," "Staircase," "Panelled 

 Boom upstairs," and " Old Fireplace in South Eoom," as well as a rough 

 pen-and-ink sketch of the N. E. view. The paper begins with a short 

 history of the manor, chiefly derived, apparently, from Scrope's History 

 of Castle Combe. The description of the house itself lacks architectural 

 definition — the chief information being that some of the windows are of 

 Elizabethan date, and others of about 1610. 



Eyre Family. Some notes on the Eyre family in Wilts accompany 

 an obituary notice in the Salisbury Journal, reprinted in Devizes Gazette, 

 Sept. 28th, 1899, of the Eev. Charles James Phipps Eyre, who, though 

 not a native of Wiltshire himself, was one of the family. He was Eector 

 of Marylebone for twenty-five years. 



ErdlfOllt Church. A long and interesting account of the work of 

 restoration now in progress under Mr. Ponting's direction in this Church, 

 is given in the Devizes Gazette, Nov. 9th, 1899. 



The Sale Of the NetheraVOIl Estate to the Government, and 

 the price paid for it (£93,411), was the subject of a good deal of corres- 

 pondence and discussion in the papers. Mr. T. G. Bowles, M.P., wrote 

 in The Times of Aug. 5th a letter, reprinted in Devizes Gazette, Aug. 10th, 

 asking how the arbitrators arrived at the price. The Estates Gazette, 

 quoted in Devizes Gazette, Aug. 17th, defends the price paid. Further 

 letters from Messrs. T. G. Bowles, A. Whitehead, L. G. K., and W. J. 

 Hamnett appeared in The Times and Estates Gazette, and are reprinted 

 in the Devizes Gazette, Aug. 24th, Sept. 7th, and Sept. 14th, 1899, 

 together with an interview with Messrs. Kawlence and Squarey on the 

 subject, reported in the Daily News. 



CyClOIie in HantS and S. Wilts. The Salisbury Journal, 

 reprinted in the Devizes Gazette, Oct. 12th, ]899, gives a remarkable 

 account of the extraordinary violence of the storm on Oct. 1st, in the 

 neighbourhood of Andover at Kimpton and Shoddesdon Farm — and to a 

 less extent at Old Lodge, in Wilts. 



Clyffe Pypard. "Where Time stands still." A short article, by 

 Maude Prower, in The Gentleman s Mag., July, 1899, pp. 81 — 86, though 

 it mentions no names, is really a pleasant little bit of gossip about Clyffe 

 Pypard, the manor, the vicarage, the squire, and the manners and 

 customs thereof. 



Salisbury and South Wilts and Blackmore Museum. 



The report of the committee, read at the annual meeting of the supporters 

 of the Museum, shows that nine thousand three hundred and twenty-one 

 persons visited the Museum last year, and that the extensive library of 

 Wiltshire books, prints, &c, bequeathed to the Museum by the late Mr. 

 Job Edwards, of Amesbury, is now being arranged in cases and made 

 accessible to readers. Wilts County Mirror, June 16th, 1899.
