A London letter says there has been
curious result of one of the fires
caused by suffragettes in 1914. The
fire in question practically destroyed
the historic church of st. Mary at
Wargrave, near Henley, which, among
other interesting objects, contained
the tomb of Thomas Day, the author.
The church is now being rebuilt. In
the restoration of the tower 1t was
found that the present casing of red
brick Is only a covering for the origi-
nal Norman tower. The latter proves
to be very fine example of Norman
architecture-one of the best in the
opinion of experts. existing in Eng
land.
When the tower was cased with red
brick is a mystery, but the work was
probably done in the reign OF Henry
VII or that of Henry VIII. Among 9TH
sr discoveries made as a result of the
performance of the suffragette arson
squad are a number of vaults under
the chancel. of which no one had
guessed the existence.
