\Lovgleat Papers, A.D. 1553—1588. 



Objects in Stone. 



Two or three pieces of Roman decorative mouldings in stone, en- 

 riched with foliage, and in one case with a carving of a head, have 

 been found at Watermoor, and are placed in the Museum. A 

 moulded base for a pillar was also discovered in Mr. Bravender's 

 garden, in the New Road. It had been turned over and then used 

 in the construction of a mediaeval wall. It is scarcely necessary to 

 say that the most important addition to the Roman stone series at 

 Corinium has been the memorial stone to S. Val. Genialis, which 

 was long in the Meyrick Collection, at Goodrich Court, and now has 

 returned to Cirencester — thanks to the generosity of Mr. Moffatt, 

 the present owner of Goodrich Court. It was found at Watermoor, 

 on January 22nd, 1836. I have also secured for the Museum a 

 small mutilated figure of a warrior, found at Custom Scrubs, Bisley ; 

 and also a handled vessel carved out of stone, and found at Kings- 

 holm, Gloucester. 



Tessellated Pavements. 



Of these I have merely to record the discovery of fragments in 

 the field at the back of Messrs. Cripps - ' brewery, in Cricklade Street, 

 and in the garden of Mr. Bravender, in the New Road.
