Holt forest was a royal game reserve.
And except for the telling of a few
trees 1t has not been disturbed since.
And SO during the hundreds of
years the falling leaves have covered
the extensive workings. Major Wade
made trenches through what he
thought were promising mounds and
found that in places there were 10
feet Of shards. He is hoping 20 dis

On the outskirts of the forest
Major Wade discovered a pottery
dating from the 18th century with
pitchers decorated with the character

teresting finds in this region.
Actually this, is the second dis
covery of the Bentley pottery. In
1888, w. L. Long of Farnham, Hants.,
discovered the place and described his
work in the magazine, Archeologia, of
June, 1899 He noted that the pottery
was a large one containing many
shards of red, gray and black ware,
but mentioned nothing of the peculiar
white slip glaze found there by
Major Wade.
The more recent excavations dis
close that the pottery was operated
about the third century. Vessels,
made on potter's wheels and shaped
by hand, have been reconstructed
from fragments. And the small sizes

These discoveries might never
have been made had not Major A. G..
Wade, commanding officer of a local
Home Guard unit, recently lectured
his men on the history of the Alice
Holt forest.
Private Disney, during talk after
the lecture. remembered that his
grandfather had told him of an old
pottery, since lost, in the ancient
forest. Later, walking under the
mighty trees, Disney noticed a diff
ference i'm the color of the grass in
one area. Scraping it with his boot
he found charcoal and fragments of
ancient pottery.

In modern times the all
important glaze in pottery
is applied after the clay
has been made rigid by
baking. Then a second fir
ing is necessary to set the
glaze. In the ancient pot
terry, near Bentley, the
glazing and firing were
done in one operation.
This is proved by the fact
that a white slip, usually
a ring around the top of
the vessels, follows all the
irregularities caused by
the collapse of the wet
clay. If the potter had
worked with rigid, baked
clay the distortion of the
clay would not have paral-

school was organized in October,
1785, at his plantation home near
Quinby, on the Virginia Eastern
Shore.
From the Elliot manuscripts, the
historical bulletin published by the
Virginia State Sunday School Asso-
citation, and old records owned by
Miss Willis and other members Of
her family. 1t is possible to get a
picture OF this ex-Revolutionary
soldier. who 100 years ago this
month started new type Of school
In America.
This first American Sunday school
was held in the afternoon instead
Of the morning hour Of present
Sunday schools.
Early Methodist Convert.
As a young man Of Is, William
Elliot had been an early convert to
Methodism when Missionaries Will
liam Waters and Robert williams
passed through the Eastern Shore
in 1772. Later as aSpreacher and
farmer he gathered about him in his
home on Sunday afternoons his
own children and those OF his former
indentured or bond servants.
Bible instruction and the rudi-
ments OF reading were taught. The
Bible was practically the only text
book used. The Bible used by Will
liam Elliot In his Sunday school
still is in possession of a member of
his family.
Gradually, the group included
children of neighbors and friends.
Negro slaves and their families re-
ceived similar instruction.
Affiliated With Church.
With the formal organization of
Methodism on the Eastern shore of
Virginia, the founding of the Bur-
ton Oak Grove Church on January
10, 1901, and its acceptance into the
Philadelphia Methodist Conference.
William Elliot united with this
church. His Sunday school was
transferred to this church, and he
became its first superintendent.
Miss Willis has number Of
treasures from the Elliot family.
One is a metal snuff box which
shows the British flag before the
union of England and Scotland. It
belonged to Thomas Elliot, the
father Of William Elliot.
She also has leather hymn book
