family they took out a late canting coat, and did not assume the “ de ” of their 
earlier and feudal namesakes. There is ground for belief that the earlier 
“ Ollepennes ” died out in the fourteenth century. The later ones appear 
under Henry VI. without the prefix. 
A letter dated April 13th, 1471, addressed by Edward, son of Queen 
Margaret, to John Daunt, whose family then resided at Owlpen, has been 
cited in support of a tradition that Queen Margaret slept in the Manor House 
on her way to the Battle of Tewkesbury. Unfortunately the Daunts then 
lived in co. Somerset, and had not yet wedded an Owlpenn. The Manor House 
passed into possession of the family of the Stoughtons in 1815 by the marriage 
of Thomas Anthony Stoughton with Mary Daunt, daughter and sole heiress. 
The Members of the Club were kindly received by Mrs. Trent-Stoughton, who

Saturday, July 12th, 1919. 
Members met at Longhope Railway Station and crossed the railway bridge 
into the lane to the east leading to Zion Chapel. In this lane are good exposures 
of the Ludlow beds, consisting of brown sandstones and, towards their base, 
several thin limestone bands. The top of the ridge on which the Chapel stands 
is formed of hard Wenlock Limestone, and the valley to the east is carved out 
of the soft underlying Wenlock Shales. Crossing this valley, Members took 
the lane to the left and proceeded by Blakemore Wood to Huntley Hill. The 
lane shows sections in the Woolhope Limestone, which here dips to the south- 
east, being affected by the fault. After passing over the Woolhope beds, the 
Llandovery Sandstone is seen for a few yards on the site of the lane. Taking 
a track that runs northwards to Dursley Cross, a descent to the Ross road was 
made. The cutting here is much overgrown, but formerly showed a good 
section of the Woolhope Limestone. On the way to the Railway Station the 
fine Wenlock Limestone quarries, on Hobbs's Ridge were inspected. 
On passing through the village of Longhope attention was called to the 
base of a cross standing in front of an inn. Efforts to obtain possession of
