18 JOURNAL OF AN EXCURSION TO EASTBURY AND 
E,ather Good, the Cheif front coverd with Statues. From 
the Quire, the Chappel of our lady which is Built behind 
the Altar has a most beautifull effect, as it is of most elegant 
gothick architecture, the Capitals and Key Stones very highly 
finishd. This was formerly hid by the Screen of Stone 
which was taken down at the instance of M'' Prowse. 
From hence proceed to Okey hole, about two miles, a very

view all over the Countrey, being a hill detachd from every- 
thing else, on the Top of which stands a tower which was 
the steeple of a church dedicated to S* Michael, which is 
now totally demolishd and nothing but the shell of the 
Tower left standing. About the sides of this hill searchd
