and is dedicated to St. Peter and .St. Paul ; the nave and chancel are the oldest 
portions, the aisles having been added at the end of the twelfth century. Hang- 
ing in the porch is a sweet- toned belt of a date certainly antecedent to 1250, and 
hence one of the oldest in England. One must also notice an old stone monu- 
ment d.iied 1562, a coffin-lid of the early thirteenth century, some remnants of 
old stained glass of the later fifteenth century, an unusual piscina and the pulpit, 
dated 1657. Put the gem in point of antiquarian interest is undoubtedly the 
painting tn tempera on the west wall. Red and yellow ochre, native cinnabar 
and white, were the colours used in executing this monkish pictorial sermon, 
which was probably painted .about the year 1200, and which was discovered 
under a coat of whitewash during repairs a generation agr>. For a full descrip- 
tion of this quaint relic of mediivvalism one must see the pamphlet, copies of 
which were placed at our disposal by the courtesy of the Rector, the Rev. G. E. 
Pelclier. After leaving Chaldon we followed footpaths to Coulsdon Common 
for tea at the “ Eox ” Inn, and returned to the station by the bridle-way adjoining 
Toller’s Farm. A little rain fell during the last half-hour, the sole blot on an 
otherwise perfect day. The ramble was ably planned and most energetically 
conducted by Mr. Hubert Poole, the Honorary Librarian. 
August 19. — Owing to the holiday season a small party of twelve only 
assembled at Northwood Station, when, under the leadership of Mr. Ernest A. 
Nash, a walk to Eastcote was undertaken. The route lay across the golf links 
and Poor’s Field, whence a fine view of Ruislip Reservoir is obtained. A pupa 
of the Goat Moth (Cossus ligniperJa) was found in Park Wood, and placed in a 
botanical vasculum for safely. A good deal of interest was aroused, when, hall 
an-hour later, on opening the vasculum, a newly emerged Goat .Molh was dis- 
covered beside its empty case. 
On Poor’s Field, missel thrushes, song thrushes, skylarks and pied wagtails 
were observed, mostly in moulting plumage. On the reservoir a tern, apparently 
an immature black tern, was seen flying up and down. This is a rare find for 
such a locality. After tea in the pretty old garden of the “ Black Horse” Inn, 
Eastcote, a return was made to Northwood by another route, across Haste Hill, 
from the summit of which a beautiful view of Harrow was enjoyed.
