Room, formeily the “Old Presence Chamber.” The tapestry, representing scenes 
in the lives of Venus and Mars, was made at Mortlake for Charles I. The fire- 
place is noteworthy, for on it occur H. and A. [Henry and Anne (Boleyn)] united 
by a true lover’s knot. 
Passing on the Members entered the Drawing Room, formerly known as the 
Great Council Chamber or Presence Chamber, decorated in ted. The third 
State room is the Throne Room, containing fine examples of carving by Grinling 
Gibbons. At the end is the throne under a canopy made in i8oi. 
An inspection of the Chapel Royal followed. On passing through the Colour 
Court entrance into the chapel the ceiling, with its date, 1540, at once attracts 
attention. The east window has been altered several times. In the vestry the 
sacramental plate was shown, the two large silver-gilt alms dishes attracting 
much attention. A hearty vote of thanks was given to the Sub-Dean for acting as 
guide, and the thanks of the Society are due to the Lord Chamberlain for afford- 
ing Selbornians the very special privilege of this visit. 
Saturday, Apiil 6. — F'ourteen members met Mr. Matthew Hunt at Upper 
Warlingham Station for the first out-door ramble of the season. Through true 
April weather— shower and sunshine — they took the lane towards Court Farm, 
thence to Hamsey Green, and from there by field-path and woodway to breezy 
Farleigh Common. By the wajside Viola odorata and canina were discovered ; 
Anemone nemorosa was abundant ; Ranunculus Ficaria and bulbosus, and the 
white stars of Slellaria Holostea, the yellow primrose and “ palm ” were all 
observed, while blue-tits, chaffinches, and a yellow-hammer were among the 
birds discovered. The guide’s dog, “ Vic,” created some diversion by his water 
propensities, and the cottage garden of our hostess, Mrs. Smith, was much 
admired, and quite a long time was spent examining her flowers, fowls, 
rabbits, bees, home-cured ham and bacon. During the afternoon great interest 
was aroused by a very fine double rainbow of perfect arches and with full colours, 
the violet rays being very beautiful. After tea a four-mile walk by field-paths 
and by-ways brought the ramble to a termination at South Croydon Railway 
Station.
