Mr. It.,BRRIt resumed: All the work of the nave is
very shortly prior to the dissolution of the moneeteryt
There was some indiestion in Ilutehin: history that it
was built in 1503. This might be either in the reign of
Henry VII. or Henry VIII., hot it looked to hint (Mr.
Rob. rta) a little later. The tower and screen bore
evideue, of being slightly earlier, becauei they were
cowl Perpendicular, hut ths nave was exeeedingly
kid. Those who bed the stare of the work had done
eutte right in proem rung it, because there was no use
destroying that which w.ai ancient b cause it was not
beautiful—(hear, hear.) Thanks were due to those
who had been so ears ful in retaining this work. The
screen was, perhaps, as good a portion of the church as
anything in it.
Sir W. If xmaccirr wished tout' attention to astrieg
course shove the tower arch, and asked for explanation
respecting it.
Mr. Roarirrs said perhaps it was the drip .tone tea
former roof. It wee not unusual for tower. to be built
after the church was erected. It perhaps formed a
pert of the outside of a former church, which was
obviously smaller than the present. Mr. Hills had
mentioned that something precisely similar occurred at
MI6-Asbury. They must not suppose that because he
said this church was built in the reign of Henry VII.
or VIII. that no church exi,tcd here before. The
towr wee built first, and then the nave ; the latter
being made slightly larger, so that that which waa
previously ouetide was then brought inside. There
Was a piscine in the chum!, which was of ear-
lier date, which he believed to be in its nriginal place,
as the north and south walls of the chancel had the ap-
pearance of being of the t ...Nth or thirteenth century.
The cut window was probably after the date of the
tower, and before the date of the nave. It was very
good Perpendicular, and perhaps about five years after
the tower,

Mr. Haus pointed out that this tower had • bass
exactly like what be suppoeed to be one of the tower
pi,rs of the monastery church at Abhotsbury.
Mr. Roemer,' observed ass peculiarity In this church
the side aisles cuno quite up to the front in a line
with tbe tower. This arose from the fact of its being
a city or town church, and not in its own churchyard.
Real eating the roof, the Vicar remarked that the
portion celled was much the same as that which remained
open in the chancel, i c., in rough square panels.
Mr. NORTHOVILL builder, remarked that the con-
cealed roof was rather more arched, and in poor con.

Mr. Romtats poleted to certain iron bolts In the
ceiling to chow that the existing roof could not be the
original one.

beggars, the persons punishable being scholars and way-
faring men, tensors (oword.playerc).kc.. who were to be

manner iii which the law bad been carried out, the

place of their ordinary abode, there to works at hard
labour as good subjects ought to do." Some of the party
also inspected the giant's month, mentioned by Mr.
Bull. An opinion was expressed that it had formerly
been • gargoyle of an eviler aisle, awl this was sup-
ported by the remains of a parapet at the same level
at the end of the wall wherein the giant's mouth
occurred.
Proceeding th.neo to the Conventual Buildings, the
gatehouse on the term premises of Mr. John Chick first
occupied attention. Mr. Roberts explaining its different
details. lie else referred to the legend of St. Augustine,
who (*.worthier to the abetril tradition) when he
arrived at Como, was together' with his followers,
treated with great rudeness by the the inhabitants, who
tied cows' tails ts their gulls tots and drove them out.
Repenting, however, of their conduct, the, re-called

stated that fishes' teas were used, and the punishment

but what Mr. Darwin would coosider °inclusive proof
of a telationship to another teinily—(langhter.) Mr.
Roberts expressed an opinion that there was no founda-
tion for the tradition of St. Augustiee's visit to Cern.,
es he did not believe the saint ever eadao so far week
The p irty having examine I the gateway, Mr. Roberts
alluded to the belief that Margaret of Anjou had taken
refuge at Come the day after she landed at Weymouth.
Mr. HILLS proposed a eote of thanks to Mr. Chink,
which was cordially agreed to.
A move was then made to the bridge over the river,
said to have been butt by on,. of the Abbott. A view
also was obtained from the road of the Giant. The
next point of Interest was the tithe bare, which Mr.
Roberts explained. This was the le,t of the remaining
relics of the Abbey. It was origivally 200 feet long.
At on end there w ro the reineies of another gateway
the foundation of which might be still existing. A
part of the barn had been converted into a residence
for Mr. Foote and in pierci the wall for window;

The roof was tolerably perfect. There was alio some
original reticulated payee:taut in the barn ; the Seine
kind of pavement hii been adopted in several towns
for many ointurie' s perhaps slow the time of the
Romans. The name of Cerro was frequently spelt with
aK, and sometimes spelt Remelt. He was inclined
to think it was °nee called Kerne, but in the deed of
surrender of the monastery it was spelt with S, there-
fore the sound of the hard C must have altered In the
smarm of time. Mr. Levein had some verses in (Insist
Latin, from an MS. of the 13th century, incidental to
Corn". The tollowitig is a copy of the verses, and a
rough translation :

attention to the partioniarly beautiful manner in which
the walls of the barn were built, kaapped or squared
flints being used. A vote of thankt was then passed
by acclamation to the Rev. A. Bull ant Mr. Foots for
their atudnest and attention to tile association. The
party then resumed their carrisges, and on the return
journey visited WolectOn Ileum, the seat of Mr. W.

perhaps better than by rising a fanciful version of the tale
which subsequent writers have frequently done, and which
certainly there are many temptations from the picturesque
character of the events surrounding thy whole narrative to In-
duce • writer to do. And having delivered this plan unvar-
nished tale to you, on this occasion, let me "hark beck" a
little and refer to that interesting part of the legend which
connetts the names of two well-known Dorset families with
the occurrences described, and produced some of the conse-
quences to which the title of my paper alludes. On the spot
where we are now standing, as I have referred to before,
there stood the original house wherein Sir Thomas Trenchard
received and entertained his Royal and oortainly, ellegulso how
they might, most unwilling pleas, and it wax here that the
introduction took place to the Royal couple of that kinsman
of Sir Thomas Trenchant, Mr. John Rowell, which was after-
wards destined to bring • country gentleman's family from
comparative obscurity to got only the highest power and
wealth in the kingdom, but to be the means of handing down
the name of the house with honour and renown even to the
present period of our history. It seem. Sir Thomas Trencbard
had, most fortunately, Just finished building, what was then an
embattled house, the change of residence from the cramped
and confined males and fortresses which was then gra Wally
obtaining in England, and culminated in many of those
Tudor ot Elizabethan h.omes of which we . are naturally so
proud, and with which this association has so many agreeable
recollectiona, and also, fortunately for him, had the oppor-
tunity when finding himaelf beset with tho diMculties of hav-
ing to entertain such grant and distinguldied people without
knowing anything of the language they spoke, for linguists
were not so rife in those days as they are now, when every one
"gems to pride himself on the knowledge of some other tongue
than his own, albeit, they may often be quite" unknown"
to the countries from whence they are derived, or "dead"
enough ass language, wherewith to carry out the amenities
of every-day life, lie that as it may, however, our friend Sir
Thomas, for he seems now on the spot where his penal.en and
lens once were honoured, had the good fortune again of find-
ing a way out of them dlMculties, and that was in having his
young kinsman, John Ruler, nrir. enough to send for, be

vited by Sir Thome Trenchard to assist in the entertainment
of his kingly visitor and hie Queen. and to interpret for the
craw of the Royal gullets, John Rumen at once made his
mark, and no captivated Philip and Juana by his
graceful muiners and his great amomplishmenta added to a
bandeauxe mein and bearing, so well suited to the notions of
the proudest people perhaps of those days—for Spain had
about reached the highest pinnacle of her greatness In the
grand ;discovery of Columbus especially—that when Philip
set out for Windsor he besought Sir Tonna. to allow his re-
lative to accompany him, and haying succeeded in obtaining
his request, took great pleasure in introducing John Russell
to the King as a genUeman to whom he had been so much
indebted, and highly recommended him to the Royal favour.

looking for, and accustomed to engage into his service, the
cleverest men he could get hold of, so that he soon found In

here to point out the very words that Russell makes use of in

his, possibly written to thank his cousin Trenchant for the

beautiful drawings of them, which have been photo-
graphed by Mr. Pouney, of Dorchester, so that tran•

Referring to the plate., it will be noticed on the prin-

Is the early Chriatian emblem, tho Chi Rho, as it is

Christ. I may briefly mention for the benefit of those
who do not enter into t he subject of Christian icograol'l,
that this emblem forms a species of masonic sip
amongst the early faithful; and the sign of tho Cre-o
was io use from very early tirne• f..,

Christianity ',dome vieterious the emblem of the des.

gold on the regimental oolours of the Bruen armies,
and in that form was celled the Ltbarnin. We Britain,

by the militiamen under George 111, gave rise to much

Without careful examination it would be impassible to

I would suggest is the possible earlier date of the relic.
We know from the shepherd of Hermes that these
singular emblems were In vogue in the 2rid centers.
The Roman villa seems to have been a work of great
antiquity; so lithe cemetery although it contains few
bodies. If we are to acoept the beginning of the sth
eentary,then it would belong to the Romanised Britons,
who were left in possession of the country after the
Replan legions quitted it, awl immediately before the
coming of the &zone. This intern guum is a period of
great tii,torioid and. arehts 'logical Li ffioulte. It seem.
as if we were doomed never to draw aside the curtain
which veils it, and prevents our seeing what really did
happen. We stumble about in thick darkneesa, made
more visible by the uncertain light of that historical
abstraction, Gado,. We think we are on a smooth
path till we break our tuella" 'logical shins over some
unseen obetruotion, and we are obliged to grope drools.
History, that is Cadet and traditioe, show that the
pagan Saxons tame and extirpated Christianity wher-
ever they went, and drove it all into Wales, and Cum-
berlan 1, and Cornwall that they were the great
enemies of the Romanised Britons, who"fled before
them like fire"—that they came first at the bidding of
Vortigern, under Messrs. Hengist, Hors., and Co.,
about A. D. 449, to drive out the Pieta and Boole, and
they were not converted till the time of Augustine in
the year 600, and yet what do we find? That long
before the legions had departed there was a Roman
offic-r who commended in the eastern counties, called
the C rent of the Sax...n shore. We red much about
thet sir ire, we find that the legions themselves were
compooed of Garman or Saxon troops, and further we
hove proof that in the Isle of Thanet itself the Saxon
settlers were mixed with the Roman population, and
that the two peoe:ei ire found boried site by oil- in
the soup' ceme...ry. T anBle-B.xon, long before his
ceneereon to Chii,isulty by &ugustine, was wool to
bury his dep.rted friend in his b •st garments, with all
hi, panoply of wespons and ornaments, and, like the
Roinan, with a piece of money to pay his fore to the
next world. Next to him lay his long spear, and
sometimes his fine shield, with massy bogs complete,
together with his highly-wrought sword hilt, and his
doh fibeles. Next to him, however, lies the Roolllll in
his leaden coffin, evidently his contemporary and ally.
But what is more singular and to the point here is the
frequent discovery of Christian tokens in these so-
called pagan Saxon interments. Can it be that our
guide Gide, has been misleading us, and that alter all
these lair-haired stalwart Saxons were not all heathens?
Or can it be that the emblems were placed lathe graves
without any idea as to their signification? I think the
latter explanation is the most likely. The Saxon was
profoundly ignorant of what our American friends
would call "the eternal fitness of things," otherwise he
would hardly hove been buried, as we sometimes find
him, with a pair of Rismin comeaseee, or • saucepan.
These sere to him toys: great schoolboy as he was, he

to whioh I would particularly draw yon attention, it is

four heads with cornucopia denoting plenty, ani in
the centre the head with the nimbus. In examining
the central portrait, it is well to remember the descrip-
