L20 Notes on Churches in the Neighbourhood of Marlborough. 



tho viow of the Cathedral from the north, its lofty tower and 

 steeple might break up the long line of the roof and upper part 

 of the nave. 



Mr. Maiden has also observed that the external dimensions on 

 plan, of the Cathedral tower and of the Belfry, are nearly, if not 

 quite, identical, and that the length of tho nave of the Cathedral is 

 about the distance between the two buildings. 



It would be interesting to verify these measurements upon the 

 occurrence of another tropical summer, when the exact position and 

 lines of the old building might be again revealed.

fig HAVE been asked, as in former years, to describe some of f

@I f ^ the buildings visited on the excursions, and I am glad 

 that, as regards Ramsbury, Aldbourne, and Littlecot, I shall be 

 rolieved by Mr. Doran Webb, who is more familiar with their 

 history. 



I would say at the commencement that I do not propose to give 

 an exhaustive description of the Churches (which would take more 

 time than we could spare) , but merely to point out some of the 

 more interesting evidences of the history of the buildings which are 

 afforded by the structures themselves. 



There are three points of similarity in the six Parish Churches 

 and two desecrated Chapels of which I have taken notes for this 

 meeting.
