THE SIXTY-FOURTH GENERAL MEETING 
OF 
THE WILTSHIRE ARCHAOLOGICAL AND NATURAL 
HISTORY SOCIETY, 
HELD AT DEVIZES MUSEUM, August 7th, 1917. 


_ In consequence of the continuance of the war «a General Meeting 
for business only was called on Tuesday, August 7th, 1917, at 2 
oclock. Only a small number of members were present, the 
President, Mr. W. Heward Bell, F.S.A., F.G.8., being in the chair. 
Beyond the reception of the annual report there was little business 
to do. The Hon. Secretary, however, reported that a considerable 
effort had been made to beat up new members since the last Com- 
mittee meeting, with the fairly satisfactory result that fourteen 
new members were elected at the meeting and the names of several 
others were suggested who might be asked to Join the Society. It 
would be a great help if members who happen to know of new 
residents in their own neighbourhoods whom they may not care 
to ask to join the Society themselves, would take the trouble to 
| send their names and addresses on a postcard to the Hon. Secretary, 
who will then write and ask them. 


THE REPORT. 
The following is the text of the annual report read by the Hon. 
‘Secretary :— 
_ The Committee beg to present the sixty-fourth annual report of 
the Society for the year 1916-17. 
‘VOL. XL.—NO. CXXVII. B 


2 The Siaty-Fourth General Meeting. 


Members.—The diminufion in numbers noticeable since the be- 
ginning of the war, has continued during the past year. The 
Society began the year with a total of 326, and ends it with a total 
of 313, of whom 12 are life members and 301 annual subscribers, 
having lost one life member and nine annual subscribers by death, 
and 15 annual subscribers by resignation; whilst only ten new 
memhers were elected. There is thus a net loss of 13 members 
during the year. By the death of Mr, H. EK. Medlicott the Society — 
has lost not merely one of its vice-presidents, but one who for 
many years acted as one of the honorary secretaries of the Society 
and was responsible for the arrangements of the annual excursions. 
Though he had resigned that office for some years past, he remained 
to the last one of the most active members of the committee, always 
ready to help on the work and interests of the Society in every 
way that hecould, In the case of our own Society as in that of so 
many other institutions in North Wilts his death has left a gap 
which will not easily be filled. By the death of Mr. C. H. Talbot, 
of Lacock, too, the Society has lost another of its most prominent 
members, who acted as honorary secretary for five years from 1875 
to 1881, and as president of the Society from 1897 to 1899. Until 
his health no longer permitted his presence he was one of the most 
regular attendants both at the annual meetings and at the quarterly 
committee meetings, and took a leading part in the proceedings. 
A third loss is that of Mr. Edward Cook, to whose interest and 
care the foundation of the collection of Wiltshire Lepidoptera at 
the Museum is due. Up to the time of his death he acted as 
curator of this collection, and one of the most pressing needs of the 
Society at this moment is an entomologist who will take bis place 
and carry on his work in the Museum collection. Obituary notices 
of all three members are to be found in the Magazine. 

Finance.—The Society’s accounts, which will be published in the 
“June” number of the Magazine, now due, show that on January 
1st, 1916, there was a balance on the General Account of £56 19s.9d. 
The final instalment of £11 1s, 11d. was repaid by the Museum 
Enlargement Fund to the General Fund, this being the balance of © 
the £50 borrowed from the General Fund in 1912. The Museum ~ 


The Lfeport. 3 


“Maintenance Fund also repaid £6 5s. 2d. of the sum borrowed from 
the General Fund to pay for the repairs of the roof of the Museum. 
There was at the end of the year 1916 a balance of £64 13s. 64d. 
to the credit of the General Account, or £7 13s. 94d. more than 
at the end of the previous year. The Museum Maintenance Fund, 
which showed a balance at the beginning of the year of £7 6s. 6d., 
received during the year £31 4s. 6d. from subscriptions, and 
£4 19s. 74d. from admissions and donations at the Museum, both 
these items being slightly less than the corresponding amounts 
received in 1915. On the other hand a larger sum, £1 8s. 6d., 
was received from the sale of catalogues. The chief extra expenses 
were the replacement of the boiler for the heating apparatus, at a 
cost of £10 4s.,and the insurance against aireraft,which cost £3 10s, 
The balance in hand at the end of the year was £7 4s. 10d., or | 
ls. 8d. less than that with which the year began. On this fund, 
therefore, the receipts and expenditure almost exactly balanced 
each other. It has to be remembered, however, that there is still 
a debt due from this fund to the General Fund for money borrowed 
for the repairs of the roof. The Museum Enlargement Fund has 
for several years been entirely absorbed in repaying the loan from 
the General Fund of £50 in 1912, but as the last instalment of 
this was paid during 1916, and there was a balance of £2 Os. 9d. 
at the end of the year, it is hoped that this fund, which is derived 
from the rent of the caretaker’s house, may now graduallyaccumulate 
and form a nucleus of a fund for future enlargement. On the 
whole, therefore, the financial condition of the Society at the end 
of the year 1916 was a satisfactory improvement on its condition 
at the end of 1915. The fund raised for the purchase of the Brooke 
Collection in the previous year, which is quite separate from the 
other funds, after the final payment for the fitting up of the new 
eases at the Museum, showed a balance of £20 10s. 11d. in hand. 
This has been invested in the War Savings Association as the 
nucleus of a new fund, to be called “The Museum Purchase Fund,” 
which shall be available in the future for the purchase of Wiltshire 
objects for the Museum,

additions to the Museum collections during the year as the Brooke 
Collection provided in 1915-16, but during the residence of the 
Curator and Mrs. Cunnington at Devizes, for several months this 
year, considerable progress has been made by the latter in the 
arrangement and labelling of this collection. The pottery and 
other objects found by Captain and Mrs. Cunnington during their 
excavation at Lidbury in 1914, have been given by them to the 
Museum and placed in the cases. Mr. Brooke has also given 
several recent finds to be added to the cases containing his col- 
lection. In accordance with the resolution passed at the last 
general meeting, that various objects which have no connection 
with Wiltshire should be sold to make room for purely local col- 
lections, the Victoria and Albert Museum has purchased a copper- 
gilt chalice for £8 8s.; the Cambridge Museum has taken certain of 
the ethnological objects for £20 10s. ; and Professor 8. H. Reynolds 
has bought the whole of the non-Wiltshire and duplicate fossils for 
the Bristol University collection at £23. These fossils, some of 
which had never been unpacked from the boxes in which they 
came to the Museum 30 or 40 years ago, comprised many admirable 
specimens from the Continent and from other parts of England, 
which will be of very considerable value in a general geological 
collection, and it is a cause for satisfaction that they have been so 
usefully disposed of. So far as our own Museum is concerned 
they filled a great number of boxes under the cases of the Stourhead 
room, and crowded the drawers of the cabinets in the Natural 
History Room, which are now available for the proper exhibition 
of Wiltshire specimens. The sums derived from the sale of these 
various objects have been added to the balance of the “ Brooke 
Collection Fund” to form the new “Museum Purchase Fund.” 
The Library has received, as usual, a good many gifts, which are 
acknowledged in the Magazine, amongst others a series of important. 
original drawings of Wiltshire Churches by Owen Carter, which 
the Librarian has been able to add to the Society’s collectiois. — 
The insurance of the Museum with the County Fire Office has been 
placed upon a new basis, the buildings of the Museum and the 
caretaker’s house being insured for £2,000, and the books and other

‘contents of the Library, together with the cases and furniture of 
ie whole Museum, for £2,500. The Committee having carefully 
eonsidered the matter, decided that to insure the archeological and 
natural history collections was useless, as they could in no case be 
replaced if once destroyed. 

| The Bradford Barn.—The June Magazine contains an account 
| by Mr. A. W. N. Burder of the work of repair now happily com- 
pleted, with the exception of the renewing of the two couples now 
‘propped up. It was decided that there was no immediate necessity 
for undertaking this renewal, desirable as it is; and the matter has 
been left over till after the war. A full list of subscriptions is 
given, and the accounts, printed with the Society’s other accounts, 


Gn the June, 1917, Magazine) show that the whole of the repairs, 
with the above-mentioned exception, have been carried out at a 


cost, including incidentals and the legal expenses of the conveyance, 
‘of £424 12s. 9d., leaving a balance in hand of £7 11s. 6d. The 
' building is now open to the inspection of visitors at a charge of 3d. 
each, the keys being kept at a cottage close to Barton Farm. For 
| ‘this extr emely satisfactory result the Society’ s thanks are due to 
|My. Burder, through whose energy the fund was raised and the 
| work carried through, and to Mr. Brakspear forhis gratuitous 


| services as architect. 

Publications.—The December, 1916, number of the Magazine was 
duly published as usual and the June number for 1917 would have 
deen in members’ hands before this but for the fact that it is the 
Index Number of Vol. xxxix., and that owing to the war the 
ue are unable to carry out work as expeditiously as usual, 
The Society has to thank Canon Wordsworth for a gift of £4 10s. 8d., 
the whole cost of the illustrations of his paper on Leadenhall, a 


most helpful and acceptable gift in present circumstances. 


EARLY BRONZE AGE INTERMENT AT THE CENTRAL 
FLYING SCHOOL, UPAVON. 


Having heard through the Rev, G. H. Engleheart, F.S.A., that 
human remains and pottery had been reported to him as having 
been found in the course of excavations at the Central Flying 
School at Upavon, I went there on Dec. 2nd, 1915. Considerable 
excavations have been carried out on the slope just to the N. of 
the road from Upavon to Everley for the purpose of the erection 
of the officers’ mess buildings for the Flying School near the Upavon 
end of the assemblage of buildings and hangars, Just behind the 
mess buildings, in chalk rubble, at a depth of 3ft. 6in. under the 
surface of the down, which showed no trace of any mound over it, 
a skeleton and drinking cup had been uncovered during November. 
I saw the foreman who had been in charge of the work; he could 
give me no Clear details as to how the skeleton was lying, but 
Capt. T. W. Creswell told me that the head was lying towards 
the north-east. According to the foreman nothing besides the 
drinking cup was found, and unfortunately this was broken and 
about half of it, presumably in small pieces, was lost, before it. was 
realised that the find was of interest, and steps were taken to 
preserve the remains, The foreman promised that in case of any 
further finds care should be taken to preserve everything. The 
skeleton and the fragments of the cup which had been taken care of 
in the R.E. office, were handed over to me by Col. Van Straubenzee 
for the Society's Museum. 

Of the drinking cup three large fragments, and one smaller one, 
remain, forming about half of the rim, and rather more of the base. 
These give a diameter of 54in. for the rim, and 23in. for the base. 
Unfortunately some small portion of the vessel between the rim 
and base fragments is lost, but the height was probably about 64 
inches. It belongs to Thurnam’s type of “ Ovoid Cups with re- 
curved rims,” Type B. I. of Abercromby, who describes its character- 
istics thus :—* In this there is no distinct demarcation between the 


Harly Bronze Age Interment. 7 
body and the rim, but the one glides into the other by a gradual 
curve. The brim is of slight elevation and in the Wilts examples 
is curved outwards at the lip. The body instead of being globular, 
is oval. More attention seems paid to the fabric than to decoration. 
The walls are thinner than im any other variety of British fictile 
vessels, and as they have been well fired, the colour is red, almost 
as bright as that of Samian ware.” ! 

The Upavon cup is of the same type as that from Barrow 161 
(Hoare) at Normanton, No. 147 Stowrhead Catalogue, and that from 
the barrow on Roundway Hill which was accompanied by the large 
copper dagger (Catalogue of Antig. Pt. II. X. 50, Plate VIIL., 4,) both 
of which are in the Society’s Museum. It is therefore probable 
that the Upavon example belongs, as the others do, to an early date 
in the Bronze Age. It is of excellent hard well-burnt ware, red 
on the outside, and black in the interior substance of the ware. 
It is smoothed on the outside surface, but is not visibly polished 
as the Roundway Cup is. It has very much the appearance pre- 
sented by the ware of a modern flower pot. The whole surface, 
with the exception of 1 inch at the base which is plain, 1s covered 
by the ornament so often found on this type of drinking cup, viz., 
a series of roughly parallel horizontal dotted lines at very short 
intervals. These are carelessly put on, and in some cases run into 
one another. They were produced by the impress of a thin curved 
slip of wood or bone slightly notched at short intervals.” 

The bones of the skeleton are in good condition, and have been 
examined by Dr. Keith, F.R.S., who has most kindly written the 
full notes upon them printed below. 

I was shown at the same time another lower jaw found near the 
same spot, but nothing seemed to be known aboutit. Probably it 
was a portion of another interment of which nothing else had been 


preserved by the workmen.

NOTES ON THE SKELETON FOUND IN AN EARLY 
BRONZE-AGE-BURIAL AT UPAVON, 1915. 
By Artuur Kerru, M.D., F.R.S., Conservator of Museum, 
Royal College of Surgeons of England. : 

The man represented by these remains (a skull and lower jaw, 
left thigh bone, left os innominatum, two fused vertebree, left 
humerus, and radius and right ulna), was beyond any doubt a 
typical member of that brachycephalic race which appears in 
Britain for the first time at the close of the Neolithic period. The 
person represented is an aged man—with bent back, for he had 
suffered from severe rheumatoid disease of the spine; the coronal 
suture of the skull is obliterated, the sagittal suture almost obliter- 
ated, while the lamboid is still distinctly visible and in most parts 
unclosed. Although not a single tooth had been lost at the time 
of death, in the case of one tooth, the first upper molar of the left 
side, the crown has been worn away until the whole pulp cavity 
lies exposed. At one time or another abscesses had formed at the 
roots of the following teeth :—second upper incisor of the left side, 
first upper molar of the left side, right lateral incisor and canine 
of the lower jaw. There was not a speck of that common disease 
of modern and Roman times—caries of the teeth. The limb bones 
are slender with ill-developed muscular ridges—but it is very 
probable that these characters are but further evidence of the 
man’s advanced age. | 

From the length of the limb bones—the vertical or standing 
height of the femur being 436mm., the humerus 311mm., the radius 
253mm.—we may infer that his stature, when in his prime, was 
about oft, 4in. 


Characters of the Skull. 

The general features of the skull may be seen from the accom- 
panying figures. Its maximum length, 179mm., its maximum 
width, 148mm., giving a cephalic index of 82:7. The roof is re- 
markably low, rising at its highest point only 109mm. above the

of its roof and rather cap-shaped occipital bone, this skull recalls

Scotland, The vertical and occipital views (Figs. 2 and 3) bring

for estimating the cranial capacity, it turns out to be only 1376c.c. 
—cousiderably below both ancient and modern averages. 

The skull feels heavy, its bones are thick, varying along the 
vault from 6 to 9 mm. The bones of the face are massive and 
strong. The supra-orbital ridges, particularly the supra-ciliary 
parts, are pronounced, The forehead appears wide because of the 
lowness of the vault; as a matter of fact the minimal frontal width 
—measured between the temporal hnes—is 95mm.—a moderate 
amount. The width measured from the outer margin of one fronto- 
malar suture to the outer border of the other, is 102mm. The 
face was of moderate length, upper face naso-alveolar length being 
67mm.; the nasi-mental or whole length, 108mm, The width 
was relatively large, the bizygomatic diameter being 125mm., the 
malar width, measured between the lower end of the malo-maxillary 
sutures, 92mm. ‘The upper jaws and cheek bones are particularly 
strong; the cheek bones in life must have been prominent. The 
nose is narrow and of medium length—the nasal height being 
50mm., the width 22mm. The nasal bones are not present, but 
one infers that they were prominent. The orbits are wide, 40mm., 
as is usually the case, and of medium height (35mm.). The lower 
jaw is also robust. The chin forms a triangular eminence of 
moderate prominence. The depth or vertical measurement at the 
region of the symphysis is 29mim., its front to back maximum 
thickness, 18mm. As is so commonly the case in skulls of this 
type, the angles of the Jaws are prominent and wide apart, the 
bigonial diameter being 113mm. ‘That diameter helps to give the 
full “jowls” which mark this “beaker” race. ‘The ascending 
ramus of the mandible has a width of 33mim.; the sigmoid notch 
is of moderate depth. 


The Skeleton. 


Of the bones of the skeleton little need be said. The diameter 
of the head of the femur is 46mm—in both its vertical and antero- 
posterior directions. In its upper third the femur is but moderately 
flattened—the transverse diameter being 32mm., its antero-pos- 
terior, 27mm.—the index of flattening being thus 84. The area 


By Arthur Keith, M.D., FBS. 11 


for insertion of the gluteus maximus is marked by a rough trough- 
shaped impression, with a prominent ridge marking the inner or 
mesial margin of the impression. The. linea aspera is scarcely 
raised above the contour of the shaft; at the middle of the shaft 
the antero-posterior and transverse diameters are alike—namely, 
27mm. When I mention that the shaft of the humerus at the 
deltoid impression has the following diameters :—antero-posterior, 
21mm.; transverse, 20mm., the slenderness of the shafts of the 
long bones—in relation to their relatively massive articular ex- 
tremities—will be realized, The lower third of the ulna shows a 
well-marked bend—the concavity of the bend facing towards the 
companion radius. Sucb a bend is not uncommon in the ulne of 
prehistoric people, but its meaning I do not know. 

Rheumatoid changes in the spinal column joints of people living 
during the bronze-period in England were very common. In the 
case of this man we have only two vertebre, the 11th and 12th 
dorsal. The edges of their bodies are “lipped,” and the interverte- 
bral disc, which should separate them, has been absorbed, resultitrg 
in a partial fusion of the bony tissue of the adjoining vertebre, 
The laminze of the same two vertebrze are also united by bone— 
the articular processes being fused. There can be no doubt that 
this union is the result, not of an acute inflamatory process, but of 
a chronic one—such as is seen in diseases of a rheumatoid uature.

LIDBURY CAMP.! 
By Mrs. M. E. Cunnineton. 


Being an account of excavations carried out by Mr. and Mrs. B. H. 
CUNNINGTON in 1914, 


The excavations at Lidbury were made with the permission of 
the War Department, in whose occupation the land now is, and 
with the kind acquiescence of Captain G. M. Paine, R.N., C.B., 
M.V.O., at that time Commandant of the Central School of Avia- 
tion, Upavon. One of the conditions agreed to was that any relics 
found during the course of the digging should be placed in the 
Society's Museum at Devizes. Work was begun on July 18th, 1914, 
and was brought to an abrupt termination by the outbreak of War on 
Aug. 4th; several of the men employed (the number varied from six 
to eight) were reservists, and were immediately called up, and it was 
felt also on other grounds that in view of the national emergency 
it was impossible to continue. Fortunately all that was deemed 
really necessary had been done, and the date of the earthwork, the 
object in view, when the work was begun, has it is believed been 
obtained. 

THE SITE. 
Sir Richard Colt Hoare’s reference to Lidbury is as follows :— 


Here is a small but perfect square earthen work, with an entrance to 
the south : the circuit of theditch is330 yards, and the depth of the vallum 
40ft. It is distinguished by the name of Lidbury. A bank and ditch, 
almost constant attendants on our British villages, conduct us from it 
into the adjacent valley, on the south-east declivities of which we once 
more recognise all the cndzcza of an extensive British settlement, situated 
not as they generally are, on a high commanding point of land, but ina 
retired and tranquil valley. The whole surrounding country clearly 
demonstrates, by numerous banks and enclosures, a very remote and 
extended cultivation.”"—(An. Wilts, South, 192.) 


He makes an evident mistake as to the height of the banks, as 
may be seen by a reference to Sections B, C, D, and HE, Pl. II1 


' The Society is indebted to Capt. and Mrs. B. H. Cunnington for the 
gift of £5 towards the cost of the illustrations of this paper. 


2 Lidbury is mentioned in Britton’s “ Waltshive,” almost in Hoare’s own 
words, and the error about the height of the banks is repeated.

Iidbury Camp. 13 


The earthwork is shown on the 6in. O.D. Map, Sheet XLVIL., 
N.E., but neither the entrance nor the ditches running from the 
enclosure appear. 

It is in’ the parish of Enford, on Littlecott Down, and is now 
included in the area taken over by the Central Flying School. It 
is 520ft. above sea level, on downland that slopes gently southward 
into Rainbow Bottom. 

Two “British Villages” are shown by Hoare in the immediate 
neighbourhood, one about half-a-mile distant, towards which the 
ditch leads in the upper part of Rainbow Bottom, referred to by 
Hoare in the above quotation; the other to the south-east on 
Combe Hill, about a mile away." 

The bank is well preserved round the whole area of the camp, 
and the ditch clearly defined. ‘There is no indication that there 
was ever more than the one entrance, indeed in such a comparatively 
small enclosure it would hardly be expected. Before the digging 
was begun the whole earthwork looked so neat and well-preserved 
that it was more than half expected that 1t would prove to be of 
comparatively modern date and post-Roman; a conjecture that 
proved to be entirely wrong. The turf in and about the enclosure 
is very fine and thick, and shows no signs of modern cultivation. 

Two ditches issue from the earthwork, one as shown by Hoaie, 
on the eastern side, and another, not shown by him, from the 
south-western corner. It seems useless to even attempt to con- 
jecture as to what purpose these curious ditches could have served, 
unless they were purely and simply boundaries. (See Key Plan.) 
They are traceable on the surface now over a great part of their 
length simply by a slightly more luxuriant growth of herbage, just 
enough to give a somewhat deeper tint of green, and an added 
wealth of bloom in summer. 

Just within the south-eastern corner of the enclosure is an 
irregular depression, not natural, that may have been a pond, though 
no sign of puddling or of clay bottom could be detected; it was

thought that it might prove to be the site of a dwelling, but there 
was nothing to confirm this theory, and only a few worn fragments 
of pottery were found. The rampart here has somewhat the ap- 
pearance of having been bent round to afford a sheltered nook, 
but it now seems more probable that whoever dug out the depression 
availed themselves of this already existing angle of the rampart. 


THE ENTRANCE. 

A reference to the Ground Plan of the entrenchment (PI. IL.) 
will show a peculiar feature of the construction at the entrance, 
and the existence of double ditches. | 

Some little distance back on either side of the entrance a second 
or supernumerary ditch branches out, and extends as 1t appears on 


the Plan, to form an inner causeway or double entrance. It was - 


however quite clear on the spot, and may be gathered by a little 


study of the Plan, that these supernumerary ditches could not . 


possibly have co-existed with the present existing line of entrench- 
ment, for the simple reason that for a great part of their length 


they are actually under the rampart, and must always have been so — 


since the day the rampart was made. As has already been said — 


the outline of the rampart and ditch are particularly well preserved, 


go there is no question of the rampart sagging and spreading out — 


over the supernumerary ditch in the course of its decay, but it was 


clearly built ap over the filled-in ditch. In other words it appears — 


quite clear, that for some reason which it seems useless to attempt 


ee 


even to conjecture, the original plan of the enclosure was slightly — 


altered, the original ditch was filled in, a new ditch was dug, and 
the rampart piled up partly over the older and obliterated ditch. 
West of the entrance the two ditches run at first side by side, the © 


older ditch being on the outer side, until it is cut across by the later 
ditch, the older ditch then passes on the anner side under the ram- 


part to its end. It would seem that the older ditch was filled in, 


either intentionally or by decay, before the later one was dug; for, 
apart from the fact that it passes under the rampart, that the two 
ditches were not open at the same time was shown on the face of 
the cutting, where they run parallel to, and impinging on each

| other, the outline of the existing ditch being complete, and the 
outline of the other incomplete. Pl. 1V., Section P—P. That it 
/was not merely a case of a widened ditch was also shown by the 
| two distinct and separate bottoms as seen in Section Q—Q, PI. IV. 

It was at one time conjectured that the older ditch might have 
been a part of some much older work, unknown to, or at least 
ignored by, the makers of the existing enclosure, but this could 
/} not have been the case, because on both sides of the entrance the 


supernumerary ditches merge into, and become one with the existing 
| ditch. The fact of the two gangways being so close behind one 
another seems also to disprove, or at least to make this conjecture 
unlikely. Practically no additional space was gained in the en- 
’ go that it could not have been made 
with that object in view. The pottery found in the two ditches 
was of the same description, fragments of the characteristic “ red- 
coated” ware being found both in the ditch under the rampart, as 
well as in that of the present entrenchment, so that although the 
earlier of the two ditches must have been obliterated before the 
present line of entrenchment was made there cannot be any great 
difference in date between them. 


closure by the “alteration, 


OCCUPATION, 

In the outer ditch on the eastern side of the entrance the outer 
} side of the ditch had been cut back a few feet and the floor widened 
_and levelled. A large quantity of broken pottery was found here 
| and ashes, the remains of fires that had been lit on the spot, in- 
dicating apparently that this part. of the ditch had been utilised 
for an occupation of some kind. 

ee A great part of the interior of the camp was trenched over insearch 
of pits and for other evidence of occupation. In the south-western 
| corner of the enclosure there was an irregular excavation marked 
<< Fireplace” on Plan (PI. I1.), where it was evident fires had been lit. 
_ In addition to the fireplace eleven pits were found which from 
| their size and general character were, it is thought, probably storage 
pits. They were apparently too small to have served as dwelling 
| pits, and there was no appearance of fires having been lit in them, 


16 Indbury Camp. 


but in addition to the other objects found in them there were a 
considerable number of burnt flints, and these too were frequent 
in all the surface trenches. ‘The pits as well as the ditches (except 
the supernumerary ditches on either side of the entrance) appeared 
to have become filled up by a natural process of silting, and pottery 
sherds, etc., were not more numerous on the bottoms than they 
were through the filling-in material, Various fragments of different 
vessels would be found in one pit, showing, it seems, that they 
found their way there by chance as the pit gradually silted up, 
some fragments of even the same pot being more weather worn 
than others. Only two pots from the pits were found complete 
enough to be even partially restored. 

As a whole the surface of the enclosure was very level and free 
from inequalities, and not the slightest sign of the pits could be 
detected on the surface; the one or two places that looked as if 
they might be pits proved not to be so. Attempts were made to 
discover the pits without the labour of trenching by means of 
sounding by hammering the ground, and also by probing with a 
thin iron rod, but neither of these methods proved to be of any use, 
and the ground had to be trenched. 


THE POTTERY. 


In 1911 in some trial trenches on All Cannings Cross Farm, 
near Devizes, dug to test the evidence as to the early habitation of 
the site, a large quantity of pottery was found of unusual character 
and ornamentation. It was not like the known Bronze Age pottery, 
or that of the later pre-homan Iron Age, but from the occurrence 
of iron slag and fragments, and the general character of the finds, 
it was thought that the site belonged to the earlier centuries of 
the pre-Roman Iron Age. By a fortunate coincidence in the next 
spring (1912) some exploration of the ancient inhabited site at 
Hengistbury Head, Hants, was made by the Society of Antiquaries, 
and here pottery of the All Cannings Cross type was found in 
considerable quantities, as well as later pre-Roman and Romano- 
British wares. The discoveries on these two sites were reciprocally 
helpful in establishing the period of this class of pottery. At All 


LTidbury Camp. 17 


Cannings Cross all the finds belonged to one and the same period, 
so that it was difficult, indeed impossible, to give them a sequence, 
whereas: at Hengistbury Head the fact that this particular type of 
pottery was associated with objects of later dates, helped to place 
them in their true perspective. In his report on Hengistbury Head 
Mr. Bushe-Fox says of this type of pottery “It is unlike any of 
our known Bronze Age pottery, and is certainly earlier than the 
other pottery from the settlement, some of which belongs to the 
La Tene I. period, 400—250 B.C. This only leaves the Hallstatt 
| period in which to place it.”? Thus on independent evidence the 
| period arrived at for this group of pottery on Hengistbury Head 
| agrees generally with that given to the site at All Cannings Cross, 
| this latter being based solely on the character of the pottery itself 
| and of the other objects found with it. In a short account of the 
| finds at the latter site, written before the exploration of the former, 
it was said “From the character of the pottery, and of the other 
| finds, including iron ore and iron slag, there can be little doubt 
| that the site was inhabited in the Early Iron Age, not improbably 
| in the earlier part of the period, for some of the pottery seems to 
| bear evidence of a lingering tradition of Bronze Age ornamentation 
| Had it not been for the discoveries on these two sites it would 
_ have been very difficult to “place” the pottery found at Lidbury ; 
| but now happily it falls into line quite easily and presents little 
| or no difficuity in its classification. The amount found was con- 
_ siderably less than at All Cannings Cross, although the excavations 
| were more extensive, and it was generally less well preserved and 
| in smaller pieces. There was also a smaller proportion of the finer 
and better made wares, and of ornamented pieces, but there can be 
no question as to its being of the same general character. Most 
- of it is coarse, and appears to be hand-made, but as at All Cannings 

Cross some of the finer pieces may have been turned on a wheel of

some sort.’ Although much of it is rough and poor in quality, yet 
some of it is remarkably well baked and hard, and individual frag- 
ments might almost be taken for medieval ware, they are so crisp 
and well burnt. This was noticed also of some of the All Cannings 
Cross pottery. 

Some of the pieces have a polished surface, brown and “leathery ”; 


others are black through and through, some with rough surfaces, | 


others highly polished; the unpolished pieces, both red and black, 
are often much striated, the markings as a rule being up and down, 
not round the vessel (PI. VII., 3); a number of pieces show the 
impress of the skin of the fingers of the potter on the inner surface 
of the pots; the pastes are mixed with broken flint, sand, micaceous 
sand, and oolitic fossils; some of the thicker coarser ware was 
mixed with chopped straw, stems of grass, or something similar, 
the impression being clearly left in the inner parts of the paste. 
One of these impressions of a blade of grass or straw in the thick- 
ness of the base of a coarse heavy pot is over an inch and a half 
in length. It does not seem to be uncommon to find early pottery 
mixed with vegetable matter; it occurs frequently in Bronze Age 
pottery, as at Arn Hill, near Warminster (Wilts Arch. Magq., 


> 


xxxvu., 540), and in the later well baked, wheel-turned “ bead rim ’ 


bowls and the associated pottery, such as was found at Casterley ~ 


Camp and at Oare (Wilts Arch. Mag,, xxxvii., 88). Vegetable 
matter was also found in pottery from the Glastonbury Lake Village 
(Viole 409): 

As at All Cannings Cross many of the fragments show that they 
belonged to vessels having sharply defined shoulders, the line of 
the shoulder being occasionally accentuated by a series of “ finger 
tip” or “finger nail” impressions, and sometimes there is a line of 


similar markings on, or imimediately below, the rim. 


1 Tt is stated in the report on Hengistbury Head that all the pottery of 
this group (Class A) is hand-made, but that some of it is wonderfully well 


finished; on the other hand in the “‘ Notes on the Pottery from All Cannings | 
Cross” some of the pottery was spoken of as wheel turned; probably the 7| 


term “wheel turned” does not correctly express what it was intended to 
convey, and it would therefore have been more correct to speak of a turn 


table, or some primitive contrivance of the kind to give a rotary motion to | 


the vessels while they were being fashioned. 


ee 


a 


Indbury Camp. 19 


It may be noticed that frequently the vessels are broken along 


the line of the shoulder with a peculiar sloping edge to the break. 
In speaking of the technique employed in the making of the pottery 
-at the Glastonbury Lake Village a process is described by which 
the pots were built up in successive bands or coils of clay, this 
_ being clearly shown by the vessels fracturing at the weakest point, 
| namely, at the junction of the coils. Hvidently the same method 
_ was used by the Lidbury and All Cannings Cross potters, with the 
| difference that the break that results at the junction of the coils, 
or separate pieces of clay, is nearly always at the shoulder of the 
| pot, and rarely if ever elsewhere (Glastonbury, IL., 500 ==): Pottery 
‘from the pits at Casterley broke in the same way, and the same 
| typical fracture may be seen in cinerary urns of the Bronze Age. 


Most of the bases are flat, but a few show a slight foot ring. 


Many of the pieces have a sooty encrustation showing that the 


pots were used for cooking purposes. 
Among the most characteristic and remarkable specimens of the 


pottery found at All Cannings Cross, and among pottery of the 


7) 


period at Hengistbury, was a certain kind of “ red-coated ” ware, 
| generally in the shape of small bowls with rounded bases slightly 
concave in the centre (“ omphalos base”), sharp angled shoulders, 
and girth grooves above the shoulder. (For more detailed account 
of this ware see Walts Arch. Mag., xxxvil., 536), A number of 
| fragments of this ware were found at Lidbury, but all so small 


that had it not been for the guide afforded by the All Cannings 


Cross bowls it would not have been possible to guess the forms of 
the vessels of which they had been part. As itis, however, all the 


pieces may well have, and probably did, form parts of bowls similar 
to those from the two former sites. See Pl. VI., J, 2. 

It seems rather a curious coincidence that this type of pottery 
should have been identified within such a short time on three 
separate sites, and that it should not have been met with, or 
recognised earlier. | 

The discoveries at the Fisherton or Highfield Pits, near Salis- 
bury, which seem to belong to this period, were at first regarded 


-as Neolithic, and that interesting discovery has not yet been

fully described or illustrated. The truth seems to be that relics 
of this early British Iron Age are not very uncommon, and are 
fairly widely spread, but that the isolated finds and fragments of 
pottery that resulted from casual discoveries were not sufficiently 
characteristic to prevent their being taken as either Romano- 
British, or—in the case of the coarser pottery—as even Bronze 
Age. It is not possible to appreciate the character of mere 
fragments of vessels when the types to which they belonged are 
not known, and it needed the light that the discoveries at 
Hengistbury and at All Cannings Cross threw on this class of 
pottery to make it possible to identify chance finds. There were, 
for instance, several pieces of the red-coated ware in the Society’s 
Museum at Devizes, that had been regarded as somewhat of a 
puzzle, but it can be seen now that they are fragments of bowls 
similar to those from All Cannings Cross and Hengistbury Head. 

A few fragments of Romano-British pottery, including two or 
three small pieces of Samian ware, and one of a thin vase of 


ce 


“Castor” or “Cologne” ware with ornamentation 


and a fragment of the late Gaulish ware, with stamped pattern of — 
half rosettes, were found in surface trenching. A piece of green | 
elazed ware of medieval or later date, was also found in a surface | 
trench. Except for these surface finds all the pottery appears | 


definitely to belong to the one period. It would indeed have been 


remarkable had nothing of Romano-British date turned up, for | 


within about half-a-mile of Lidbury is the site of a large settlement 


where Romano-British pottery may be picked up by the basket | 
full, and where coins and other objects are constantly turned out 
by moles and rabbits. Within a few hundred yards of the camp | 
is the site of a barrow levelled in 1912, as it was dangerous to the ! 
aviators running their machines over the course; the barrow had | 
been previously disturbed, and Romano-British pottery and oyster | 
shells were found in the mound?!; indeed Romano-British pottery : 


is almost sure to turn up in any digging on the downs hereabouts. |

THE DATE OF THE HNCLOSURE. 

It has been said in speaking of the pottery that it is of the same 
general character as that found at All Cannings Cross, and of the 
earlier pottery from Henyistbury Head, and that this early Hen- 
gistbury pottery has been assigned to the Hallstatt period. It 
would, however, probably not be safe to assume that either the 
occupation at Lidbury or that of the site at All Cannings Cross is as 
early in actual years as that claimed for this type of pottery at 
Hengistbury. No Roman remains of any kind were found at All 
Cannings Cross, but at Lidbury fragments of Romano-British 
pottery did occur, in surface trenchings, but never except super- 
ficially in the pits or ditches, so that these must have been silted 
up before the Romano-British types reached the site, but how long 
before there is nothing to show. 

There is much in common between the finds from the Glaston- 
bury Lake Village and those from Lidbury and All Cannings Cross, 
and although the Glastonbury pottery as a whole is not very like 
the Lidbury—AlIl Cannings Cross group, yet some of it is com- 
parable with it, as is also some of the early Hengistbury pottery. 
The range of the Glastonbury Lake Village has been “at least 
provisionally ” restricted to a period of 150 years, extending from 
100 B.C. to 50 A.D, (Glastonbury, II., 35). 

At Glastonbury, as at. Lidbury, a few objects of Romano-British 
origin were found in superficial deposits, and there was apparently 
nothing intermediate between the Roman occupation and the culture 
typical of the village as a whole. The finding at Lidbury deep 
down in the main ditch of a broovh of the type of La Tene III. 
(see Pl. [X., 14), and of several fragments of bowls with inbent 
rims (see Pl. VIL. 5), is not suggestive of a very early date for 
this site. Bowls with inbent rims do not seem to have been found 
with the earlest pottery at Hengistbury Head, but they were 
fairly common at Glastonbury and are found on the Continent 
with pottery of the La Tene period. If the dates suggested for 
the sites of Hengistbury and Glastonbury are within the mark it 
does not seem probable that the occupation of Lidbury can date 
back further than about 400 B.C., and it may well range down to 
within a few years of the Roman conquest. 


22 Lidbury Camp. 


If, as it is believed, the early Iron Age pits found in Casterley 
Camp represent the same period as the All Cannings Cross site 
aud Lidbury, it 1s not without significance that at Casterley there 
was no evidence of any intermediate phase between that of the 
pits and that of the developed bead rim bowls which were there, 
as ab Oare (Wilts Arch. Mag., xxxvi., 128), associated with Belgie, 
Arretine, and Mont Beuvray wares dating to the early years of 
our era, | 

As far as the evidence goes that has as yet been obtained from — 


the site at All Cannings Cross there is a suggestion that though of 
the same period as the settlement at Lidbury it may be somewhat 
earlier in actual date. 

No pottery of the bead rim bowl type or of the wares found on 
other sites associated with it was found at Lidbury. 


OBJECTS FOUND IN THE PITS.

Pit 3. Chalk bead (P]. [X., 11) ;a handle (?) of antler (PI. X., 8) ; 
bone point; bone implement (PI. X., 11); three bone scoops, all 
imperfect (Pl. X., 7); piece of chalk loom weight; chalk spindle 
whorl (Pl. X., 1). Among the pottery the base of what was | 
possibly a crucible. Generally there were very few animals’ bones | 
in the pits, but there were more than usual in this large pit, in- 


cluding jaw bones of two dogs, and of two ponies, the hoof of a ! 
pony, and bones of a bird. |

weight, a few fragments of pottery, including one of “red coated ” 
ware. 

Pit 5. Stud-shaped bead of yellow coloured paste (Pl. [X., 12); 
bone needle and pieces of two others (Pl. LX., 2—4); two sling 
bullets of chalk and pieces of one of burnt clay; piece of a rubber 
and a hammerstone of fine grained sarsen,; fossil echinus. Frag- 
ments of pottery, including Figs. 1, Pl. V., and Fig. 4, Pl. VI. 

Pit 6. Boar’s tusk, pierced(Pl. [X., 17); bone button, (PI. [X.,15); 
a fragment of iron; pieces of at least six, and probably more, loom 
weights of chalk; these were all badly cracked in the pit, and 
several went irretrievably to pieces on being touched; they are 
not usually found in this state, and it seems quite likely that they 
had been cracked and split by frost before they were covered over 
in the pit. 

Pit 7. Two sling bullets of chalk; flat blade-like bone imple- 
ment (Pl. X., 9). Fragment of dish (Pl. VIIL., 3); various pieces of 
fine puddled or rammed chalk mixed with broken flint. Mr. H. 
St. G. Gray states that a similar material was frequently found at 
Maumbury Rings; it was used there in making up deficiencies in 
the chalk wall surrounding the arena and the sides of some of the 
post holes. 

Pit 8. Piece of a sarsen quern or rubber; two flint hammer 
stones; roughly rounded lump of burnt clay about the size of a 
cricket ball; curiously shaped piece of chalk, like a cottage loaf 
(Pl. 1X., 16);sling bullet of chalk; fragment of ahuman skull. A 
considerable quantity of a material that looked like burnt hay or 
straw, with grains of wheat and barley and other seeds, namely :—

Pit 9. A few fragments of pottery only. 

Pit 10. A sling bullet of chalk; piece of ornamented bone (PI. 
X., 12); piece of a pointed bone implement (PI. X., 9); one large 
chalk loom weight broken in two pieces, but not cracked like those 
in Pit 6; a rubber of sarsen; a flat pebble ground at the edges. 

Pit 11. A few fragments of pottery only. (Not shown on Plan.) 

Fragments of pottery and burnt flints were found in all the pits ; 
in several were pebbles about the size of sling bullets, which may 
have been used as such. 

In the “ Fireplace,” in the south-west corner of the enclosure, a 
bone needle was found (Pl. [X., 1), and many burnt flints. 


OpsEcrs FOUND IN THE DITCH SECTIONS. 


Metal. Very little metal was found. A small bronze brooch 
with spring pin of La Tene III. type came from the outer ditch, 
west of the’ entrance, 3—4ft. deep (Pl. [X., 14), and in the same 
section and on the same level a small thin piece of waste sheet 
bronze, roughly crescent-shaped. These were the only objects of 
this metal found. 


Iron. A piece of iron, apparently part of a socket of some imple- 
ment, was found on the floor of the outer ditch west of the entrance ; — 


another small piece of this metal was found deep in Pit 6; anda 7 


small fragment in Pit 1. A lump of iron slag about the size of a 
man’s fist was found in the inner ditch east of the entrance (under 
the rampart). ‘This was all the iron found except a few pieces in 
superficial cuttings, 

Stone. Various hammerstones of flint and of sarsen ; pleces 
only of rubbers or mealing stones; several pieces of fine grained 


sandstone sharpeners or grinding stones. 


Kimmeridge Shale. A piece of a bracelet of this material was 
found deep in the inner ditch east of the entrance, and two rough 
fragments in the outer ditch west of the entrance. 


Spindle whorls of chalk and of pottery, all of the flat type like 


Lndbury Camp. 25 


that shown on Pl. X., Fig. 1. Fragments only of several loom 


weights both of chalk and of burnt clay. Pieces of several bone 


scoops, and pieces of other bone implements, but all fragmentary 
and of no special interest. 

Human Remains. An arm bone (humerus) was found on the 
occupied floor of the outer ditch east of the entrauce. Three 
separate fragments of skulls were found in different parts of the 
ditch, and one fragment in Pit 7; two vertebrae came from the 
ditch on the eastern side of the entrenchment; but the most curious 
of these human relics was that of the upper part of an ulna cut 
and shaped into a scoop-like implement (PI. X., Fig. 10); this came 
from the occupied floor of the outer ditch east of the entrance. It 
was noticed also at All Cannings Cross, a site believed to be ap- 
proximately of the same date as Lidbury, that detached pieces of 
humanity were liable to turn up in a quite indiscriminate manner. 

On the widened floor of the outer ditch east of the entrance was 
found a fragment of an object of unknown use of baked clay ; 1t looks 
like a piece of a flat brick or thick tile, its one remaining unbroken 
edge is rounded, and there are the remains of a perforation through 
its thickness from one flat surface to the ouher; it might possibly 
have been a loom weight, but if so, it was of unusual shape. Mr. 
H. St. George Gray has kindly drawn attention to what appears 
to have been a somewhat similar object found at Glastonbury Lake 
Village, and now in the Museum there; it is described but not 
illustrated in Glastonbury, IL., p. 561, D42, as follows :—* Portion 
of a fairly large flat object having smooth surface and rounded 
edges. Maximum length, 90 mm.; it has a perforation of oval 
form,” A similar fragment with perforation was found at Casterley 
Camp, Wilts. At Wallington Camp, near Croydon, a number of 
flat tiles of much fired clay pierced with irregular holes were found 
in the ditches by N. F. Robartes, F.G.S , during excavations on the 
site; they were regarded as griddles upon which the cooking pots 
were placed over the fires; possibly the fragments from Lidbury 
and the above mentioned sites were parts of similar objects, and 
used as suggested, (‘“Harthwork of Lngland,” by Hadrian Alleroft, 
p- 141.)

OTHER SITES ON WHICH THE ‘“‘ Rep COATED” POTTERY HAS 
BEEN FOUND IN WILTS. 


Numerous fragments of red coated ware have been found in pits 
on Wilsford Down, near Devizes, but so far no decorated pottery. 
The account of these pits has not yet been published, but see — 
Devizes Musewm Catalogne Pt. I1., p. 92 (where on p. 94 this ware 
is mistakenly spoken of as red painted). 

Two pieces of red coated ware were found in a pit on Oldbury 
Hill, near Calne; they are ornamented with a rudely incised chevron 
pattern. Devizes Musewm Catatogue, Part I1., p. 96, 847. 

Among the finds from Cold Kitchen Hill, Wilts, are various 
fraginents of red coated ware. Walts Arch. Mag., xxvii, 279 ; and 
Devizes Musewm Cat.

The pits found in Casterley Camp, Wilts, and referred to the 
early Iron Age on account of the iron brooch and rude hand-made 
pottery in them, probably belong to this period. Although there 
was none of the red coated or decorated pottery the pottery found 
is quite comparable with the ruder sort from Lidbury and All 
Cannings Cross. <A piece of ornamented pottery of a Hengistbury 
type was found in one of the ditches on the site and is here figured

it round almost clear of the rampart at this point. In the outer 
ditch a considerable accumulation of pottery fragments was found 
at this place, and the bottom of the ditch had been widened and 
slightly deepened apparently to provide more room for a “ squat” 
of some kind. 

Section P—P. This shows the ditch of the present entrenchment 
_and the older ditch merging into one another on the western side 
of the entrance. For a few feet the two ditches run parallel to 
| and encroaching on each other; the older ditch being here on the 
outer side. The fact that the outline of the older ditch is incom- 
_ plete, and that the outline of the ditch of the present entrenchment 
1s perfect shows that the older ditch must have been filled up, either 
| by natural silting or intentionally, before the later ditch was dug. 
| This section therefore affords evidence of the relative age of the 
two ditches in addition to that afforded by the fact that the older 
ditch is for a great part of its course directly under the present 
| rampart, 

Section O—O. ‘This, like Section P—P, is taken across the two 
| ditches, but further on towards the entrance at the point just after 
the later ditch has cut across the earlier one; the older ditch is 
now on the inner side. (It must be borne in mind that this section 
is taken with the observer's back to PP, that is to say, 
| towards the east, not west, as in Section P—P.) 

| Section Q—Q shows the bottoms of the two ditches of different 
depths between the points P—P and O—O. 

| Section R—R. This is the end of the ditch of the present en- 
trenchment on the west side of the entrance. 

Section M—M. Shows the end of the earlier ditch within the 
| entrenchment on the eastern side. 


looking 


| Section N—N. Plan and section of the end of the ditch of the 
present entrenchment on the eastern side of the entrance, 

Section K—K. This is across the ditch of the entrenchment 
just outside the site of what appears to have been an old pond. 
It shows that at this point after the silting in of the ditch had 
P50 far ceased as to allow turf to grow over the silt, additional 
filling in was thrown on top of the tf; from the appearance it

was thought not unlikely that this was due to the material dug 
out to form the (?) pond being thrown back over the rampart, 
some of it rolling over down into the partly silted-up diteh. A ~ 


? 


piece of “Castor” ware, a sinall fragment of Samian, and a small 
thin iron knife blade were found above the old turf line. 


Section H—H. ‘This is through the rampart only.

Found in fragments in Pit 5. 

Fig. 2.—Vessel, incomplete (a cooking pot ?) hand-made, of grey 
paste burnt to red on the outside; the outside was much striated 
before firing, the strokes being both up and down and round the 
_ vessel; there are no similar lines on the inside, but the impress of 

the skin of the fingers of the potter is in places distinct. Height, 
94in., rim diameter, about 7fin., base, about 64in. Found with 
fragments of “red coated” ware and other pottery sherds 4ft. deep 


in outer ditch east of entrance.

Both these bowls were found on the inhabited site at All 
Cannings Cross Farm, but were not illustrated at the time of the 
publication of the notes on that find as they had not then been re- 
stored. Fragments of many similar bowls both of polished black

Indbury Camp. Bl 


_Lidbury fragments of “ red coated” ware that had clearly formed 
parts of bowls of this type were found, but as all these pieces 
are very small it has been thought permissible to show these 1e- 
stored bowls from another site to illustrate the type of vessel to 
which the fragments from Lidbury belonged. 

Fig, 3.—Vessel, incomplete (a cooking pot ?), hand-made, of grey 
paste burnt to a dull red both inside and out, very soft and sandy ; 


the exterior surface flakes off, a slip or coating of finer clay having 
been applied to the sandy paste over the outside of the vessel. 
This same kind of soft sandy ware with the surface flaking off was 


found in the pits at Casterley Camp. Height, 7gin.; rim diameter, 
'6in.; base, about d$in. Found with Fig. 2, Pl. V. 

Fig. 4.—Fragment of black ware with surface carefully smoothed 
but not polished; it has a “seribble” pattern but is not complete 
enough to make out any definite design; the lines were impressed 
on the soft clay by a blunt-ended tool. The vessel seems to have 


been a Jarge open-mouthed bowl. Foundin Pit 5 with Fig. I, Pl. V. 
| Plate VIL. 


: : : 
| 1.—Piece of shoulder of a vessel, the shoulder line emphasized 
‘by sharply incised “finger nail” markings. The ware is dull red 
‘on the outside, brown to black on the inside. Found in Pit 2. 

Several fragments from Lidbury show “ finger tip” or “ finger 


nail”? impressions round rim or shoulder, or both, but 16 occurred — 
pouch less frequently than at All Cannings Cross. Similar markings 
|were commonly met with on pottery of the period at Hengistbury 
Head, and occur also on similar pottery on the Continent. On the 


coarser wares it is practically indistinguishable from ornament of 


the Bronze Age, and rather raises a question as to whether some 
of the cinerary urns found in barrows and interments without 
other relics may not really belong to this later date. See, for 
example, Fig. 1, Plate IIL., from All Cannings Cross, Wilts Arch. 
May., xxxvil., and a tall pot from the Necropole de Tarbes, Revue 


waren. W212, Pl. I. 14. 


' Bowls of this form seem to have appeared on the Continent already in 
‘Neolithic times. See La Poterie aux Epoques Préhistoriques et Gauloise 
En Armorique by P. Du Chatellier; pl. 1,6 Manuel D’Archéologic.

2.—Rim piece of a large hand-made pot of coarse greyish brown 
ware with “finger tip” impressions on shoulder. Pit 8. 

3.—Rim piece of small hand-made pot, showing the vertical 
striations so often noticeable on pottery from this site; paste grey 
in the middle but burnt red on both inner and outer surfaces, Ditch. 

+.—Bowl, imperfect, of hand-made greyish black ware; surface 
tooled smooth but not now polished; paste mixed with broken 
flint. Height, 44in.; rim diameter, Tin, ; base, 3in. Found in 
several pieces in Pit 1- 

A smaller but otherwise similar bowl was found in some pits on 
Wiisford Down with other pottery, ete. of the Lidbury—All 
Cannings Cross type. 

5.—Fragment of hand-made bowl of black ware, the paste mixed 
with micaceous sand and broken flint; surface tooled smooth but 
not polished, and coated or faced with a finer washed clay that is 
inclined to flake off. Found in Pit 2. | 

This type of bowl, with its slightly inbent rim, is interesting as 
it is apparently the forerunner of the later “ bead rim” bow], which 
it much resembles in general form. Only two or three of these — 
bowls are represented in the fragments from Lidbury, and it was 
not found at All Cannings Cross or on the site of the settlement — 
on Wilsford Down. The type is a common and widely-distributed 
one on the Continent, as well as in Britain before the Roman era. 
It seems to have been common at the Glastonbury Lake Village 
both with and without the addition of a beading to the inbent rim. 
(Glastonbury. Types XIX. and XXIV., Pl. LXXVI., Pl. LXXIL., 
P20 del eV I Tea63) 

The inbent rim does not seem to have been domened at Hen- 
vistbury among the earliest pottery found there. This form of 
bowl is no doubt later than the other types more characteristic of 
the sites at Lidbury and All Cannings Cross, and this perhaps is 
the reason of its apparent absence from this latter site, its rarity — 
at Lidbury, its association with pottery of La Tene Type on the 
Continent, and its abundance at Glastonbury, ete.

Dasterley Camp. It is of light-coloured yellowish clay, with 
smoothed surface, the exterior slightly polished; ornamented 
with double rows of punctures, or small circular depressions, the 
“ows of circles enclosed within impressed lines. 
_ 2,—Fragment of ornamented pottery ; the paste is well baked 
und of a reddish colour; the outer surface is covered with a pale 
srown coating or wash; ornamented with lightly-impressed lines. 
Part of a boss, or perhaps of a handle, is shown on the upper right- 
hand corner. Found 3—4ft. deep in main ditch of enclosure east 
of the entrance. 
| 3.—Rim piece of a shallow bowl or dish of fine black ware, 
raving the surface carefully tooled and polished, and two rows 
pt chevron or zigzag ornament scratched in after baking. Found 
in IPI Nhe 
A smaller piece of a vessel of the same form and material with 
she same scratched ornament was found in Pit 1.

in “ Fireplace” in the south-west corner of the enclosure. 
| 2.—Bone needle, with long-shaped eye; length, 3gin. Pit 5. 
3__4 5.—Pieces of bone needles; the eyes of Nos. 3 and 4 
appear to have been circular, and on No. 4 an attempt seems to 
have been made to bore a new eye below the broken one. Nos. 3 
and 5 were found in Pit 2, No. 4 in Pit 5.

No bead of this shape appears in the books available for reference, 
and Mr. H. St. George Gray writes that although beads of the 
colour occurred at Glastonbury no bead of this form was found. 

13.—Thin piece of bone perforated in one corner, the point 
broken. Ditch of enclosure west of entrance. 

This has been identified as a piece of the temporal bone of a 
human skull by Mr. J. Wilfrid Jackson, F.G.S., Assistant Keeper 
of the Manchester Museum. The object is probably incomplete, 
as the edges, with the exception of the upper one which has been 
bevelled off, are rough. The hole suggests that the object may have 
been suspended and worn perhaps as anamulet,a practice apparently 


not uncommon with pieces of human skull. The pointed appear- | 


ance that rather suggests that it might have been used as a borer 
or pricker of some kind may be due only to accidental fracture. 


14.—Small bronze brooch, with spring pin, all one piece of metal ; 


bow slightly flattened, plain, La TeneIII.Type. Four feet deep in 


ditch of enclosure west of entrance. 


With the exception of a small thin roughly crescent-shaped 


fragment of bronze found in the same section and on the same ~ 


level, this was the only object of bronze found at Lidbury. 
Although brooches of this type appear to have survived well 


into Roman times, they are nevertheless distinctively Late Celtic | 
in origin. Three brooches that compare with this one from Lidbury 
were found at Glastonbury Lake Village; they are classified as La | 
Tene ILL. Fibulae, with solid catch-plates and flat bows, vol. I., p. |

the middle, bored from both sides. Pit 6. Similar objects are | 
generally described as buttons or dress fasteners, but appear to be | 
more usually made from the shafts of carpal or tarsal bones of sheep 


and goats, etc. (Glastonbury, vol, IL., p. 406.) 


16.—Piece of chalk cut roughly to the form of a miniature cottage |

of the entrance. 

Very little iron was found and this piece so deep in the ditch is 
of some little importance in helping to date the site.

‘other broken away. Pit 10. 


10.—Portion of a human ulna, the shaft cut to form a pointed 


scoop-like implement. 


_ This use of a human bone appears to be somewhat remarkable 
and unusual. Found with a considerable accumulation of pottery 
in the ditch east of the entrance. 

Mr. J. W. Jackson, F.G.S, who kindly identified this bone, has 


drawn attention to a human femur, split and apparently used as 
a tool, found by him in a Cave at Warton Crag. Transactions of

of the rib has been cut away up to half the length of the implement 
and the remaining part pointed (the extreme point is lost). Length,

Several of these publications were ephemeral ; two or three lasted 
a few weeks only. ‘The records of some are scanty, and it is doubtful 
if any copies of them ave in existence, even in the British Museum. 
The present article reviews some of those the history of which 
is accessible; other articles will appear in subsequent issues of 
the Magazine, completing the record as far as it can be completed. 
It is necessary to explain why the oldest existing Wiltshire 
_ newspaper, Zhe Salisbury and Winchester Journal, aud its pre- 
 decessor of the same name, as well as the yet earlier paper, the 
Salisbury Postman, are not dealt with in this the first article. A 
special study of the Salisbury and Wilton papers has been made for 
some years by Mrs. Herbert Richardson, of Wilton, the author of the 
admirable article on that subject which appeared in “ Zhe Festival 
_ Book of Salisbury” (published 1914). That article, full though it 
is as far as it goes, is not exhaustive of the whole subject, and 
| Mrs. Richardson is continuing her researches. It is considered 
| desirable that this lady shall deal with the whole of the South 
_ Wilts papers, and she has consented to do so, including also those 
| published at Warminster. 
| ‘The method adopted by the present writer has been to secure the 
| co-operation of those who are most intimately concerned with the 
_newspapers described hereunder, and where they have not them- 
selves written the histories of their respective papers they have 
| supplied much or all of the material and have corrected the manu- 


seript or the “ proofs.” Those to whom the writer is specially in- 


| debted in this way are Mr. W. Scotford Harmer, who wrote the 
history of the Walts and Glo’stershire Standard; Mr..Charles M. 


Lansdown, who contributed the section descriptive of the Z’rowbridge 


Advertiser and Wiltshire Times; Mr. 8. P. Morris, who supplied 
the material for the narrative of the Swindon Advertiser; Mr. Frank 
A. Hayward, who was able to supply missing links in the history 
of the Trowbridge Chronicle; Mr. Joseph Southgate, who assisted 


| 


with the record of the Walts, Berks, and Hants County Paper; and 


“M:. Charles Gillman, who compiled the article on the Devizes and 
Wiltshire Advertiser. For the information relating to the extinct 
Marlborough newspapers, three in number, the writer is indebted

College, Mr, R. W. Merriman, and Mr. George Cane. 


THE WILTSHIRE GAZETTE, 

The Waltshire Gazette has not always borne that title. But it 
has been always the same newspaper; it is not a successor or a 
development of a previous paper; it has never incorporated ’ 
any other paper with itself. It has gone on in unbroken course 
in the hands of the same family for 102 years, It was started in 
Salisbury as Simpson's Salisbury Gazette in the year 1816, the first 
issue being on January 4th. The founder was George Simpson, 
who followed a not unusual course when he embodied his name in — 
the title. His family belonged to Staffordshire, and it is understood 
was interested in the pottery industry. It was probably the dis- 
covery of china-clay in Cornwall which induced one of the family, — 
the second son of Joseph and Ann Simpson, of Burslem, to leave 
the pottery centre and go to Truro. ‘That second son was a George ~ 
Simpson, and it was his son, also George, who went to Salisbury 
and established the Gazette. There has been conjecture as to why — 
he selected Salisbury. The city had already an old-established 
newspaper of good repute, the Journal, and the whole of Wiltshire 
outside Salisbury was an open field for journalistic enterprise, in- 
cluding Devizes, the capital of North Wilts. Conjecture, however, 
has proved fruitless; the fact is that Salisbury was selected, and 
it must be accepted without explanation. If enquiry be made 
why young George Simpson took to journalism, the answer is easy. 
He married Mary, eldest daughter of Thomas Flindell, of Truro, 
Flindell was a printer of some note, having issued celebrated works 
from his office; he was editor, at the age of 23, of the Doncaster 
Gazette; he was founder of the Royal Cornwall and Falmouth Packet 
(afterwards the Royal Cornwall Gazette), also of the Western Lumi- 
nary, the latter a daily issue. The biography of Flindell, written — 
by Mr. W, P. Courtney, is in the Dictionary of National Biography. 
The intimacy between tbe families of Simpson and Flinders, proved 
by the intermarriage, is sufficient to explain why young George 
inclined to the profession of his father-in-law. 


By J, J. Slade. | 41 


He started Simpson's Salisbury Gazette six months before his 


jmarriage, his father finding the capital. i some ways it was 


easier, In more ways it was more difficult, to start a paper early in 
the nineteenth century than it was later, The country then was 
not over-run with newspapers; local reporting was not so volumi- 
nous, the bulk of the news being cut from the London or the other 
provincial journals. Per contra: there was an oppressive stamp 
duty which made “popular” purchase of papers impossible: the 


Jadvertisements yielded more revenue to the Government, in the 


form of tax, than they did to the proprietor of a paper ; it was nob 
possible then to get from London tie half-printed sheets which in 
the middle of the century facilitated the establishment of many 
journals; and the mechanical equipment for producing a paper 
was comparatively primitive, requiring slow and tedious hand 
working. These obstacles George Simpson had to meet, and in his 
ease there was added bitter hostility, personal as well as business, 


‘from the old-established Journal and its influential supporters—a 


‘handicap which was the heavier because he was “an entire stranger 
(to Salisbury), unknown to a single individual.” 

| His printing and publishing office was in the Halle of John Halle, 
which then was divided and subdivided into many rooms, and its 
'fine timbered roof concealed by a loft. In his first editorial pro- 
nouncement he disclaimed the intention of identifying the paper 
with a political party, almost of participation in controversy at all, 


whether on partisan lines or otherwise. This negative policy was _ 
|abandoned later, as noted below. For three and a half years 
Simpsons Salisbury Gazette and Walts, Hants, Dorset, and Somerset 
| Advertiser (its full title) continued to be published on The Canal, 
‘its price 7d., its size—four pages, 184 inches long by 134 inches— 


| five columns to the page. It secured a fair number of advertise- 


} 


‘ments, though not so many as did its rival—perhaps it should be 


| 


said the paper it attempted to rival. It was more “ popular” in 
style than the Jowrnal, including in its contents poetieal extracts, 
fashion articles, selections of French news, ete. The stay at 
Salisbury and the animosities which accompanied it resulted in an 
faction for libel against the young journalist, which he did not 


defend, submitting to judgment for damages and costs.

42 Wiltshire Newspapers—Past and Present. 


It was this probably, added to the other difficulties of starting 


a new paper, which led to financial difficulties. There was no 
question of compounding with ereditors, but the money difficulty 
was serious at onetime. Yet the paper was growing in popularity, 
its advertisement revenue was increasing : 1b was making influential 
friends not only in South Wilts but in newspaperless North Wilts. 


The struggle for the political representation of Wiltshire County, — 


then one (undivided) constituency, led to representations to 
Mr. Simpson to remove to Devizes, and after natural hesitation 
he took that serlous step. In July, 1819, the plant and equipment 
were removed in waggons to Devizes. Here the printing and 
publishing offices were set up at No. 10, the Market Place—for a 
short time only; very soon there was a transfer to No. 23, in the 
distinctive housewith the pillared front and the figure of Aisculapius. 
Subsequent changes of premises were all within a very small area, 
and they may be dismissed at once. . After many years at No. 23, 
Mr. Simpson crossed back to the other side of the road, and printed 
and published at No. 14, his residence being at No. 12. Somewhere 
about 1856 the offices between No. 12 and No. 14 were built (those 
now occupied by the legal firm of Wansbrough), the works being 
at the rear of No, 14. Later, the whole of No. 14 premises were 
purchased and the office was transferred thither and the works at 
the rear were much enlarged, the whole ground space being re- 
planned and re-constructed, in 1911. It may be added that No. 
23, Market Place, was at one time the residence of Mr. John Clare, 
a medical man, the coroner who held the inquest on the body of 
Ruth Everce. 

With the removal to Devizes the name of the paper was changed 
to The Devizes and Wiltshire Gazette. Otherwise it was unaltered, 
until in January, 1822, the length of each column was increased 
by an inch. Thirteen years later (January, 1835) a further one 
and a half inches were added to the length and the columns were 
widened, so that the size of the page became 21 inches by 15 inches. 


A more notable enlargement came on November 24th, 1836, when — 


the Gazette was within a few weeks of its coming-of-age. The 
number of columns on a page increased from five to six, the columns 


Se ee ee 


By J. J. Slade. 43 


were lengthened to 214 inches, but they were made slightly nar- 
rower, so that with the extra column the page increased in width 
by only 14 inches —that is, to 164 inches. The column was, however, 
put back to its original width on January doth, 1843, when the 
breadth of the page became 17% inches. In the next ten years 
there was further enlargement, the page becoming 23 inches long 
by 18 inches wide, but the most noticeable of all extensions to this 
date came in July, 1853, when the page was made to carry seven 
columns and the column was increased in length to 25 inches; the 
columns, however, were again narrowed, so that the total width 


did not exceed 19 inches. The greatest size of the paper under 
its founder was reached in the sixties, when the page was 26 inches 
long and 193 inches wide. 

| Under the founder, too, the paper was not only enlarged with 
‘the passage of years but decreased in price. In 1855, when the 
Stamp Duty was remitted, the price was lowered from 7d. to 4d. ; 
in 1863 it went down to 3d. A change of another kind, not less 
jimportant, Mr. Simpson made in 1836, when he formally aban- 
“doned his early policy of neutrality and came forth as the champion 

of the Constitutional (alias Conservative) party. The Gazette has 

not departed from that standpoint, although it has never depended 


upon or been controlled by the party organisation, ils support to 
lhe Conservative party, though consistent, being independent and 
| voluntary. 
| Until close on 1870 Mr. George Simpson continued to control 
‘the paper which he founded. ‘Towards the end of his life the 
control practically passed to his son, and he died on Mayrch 8th, 
1871, at the age of 79.: By his energy, his perseverance, his good 
judgment, his literary power, and (emphatically not least) the ex- 
ceptional, even brilliant, business ability, of his wife, the daughter 
of the Cornish journalist, he laid the foundations sure and sound, 
and then built upon them the business now covered by the name 
et The Wiltshire Gazette. Two other of his characteristics need to 
he noted—his strong religious feeling, which gave his paper a 
decided “moral” tone, and his retiring disposition, which made 
Mes. Simpson, as the intermediary between him and the world, 


an invaluable help-mate.

44 Wiltshire Newspapers— Past and Present. 


The son of the founder, also a George Simpson, was born in the 
Halle of John Halle, while the Gazette was being published there. 
He began his work for the paper as soon as he left school—this 
school was at Norwood, between which place and Devizes he of 
course travelled by coach, acquiring in the process a knowledge of 


coaching on the Western road at its zenith. His training for his— 


life’s work was thorough: there was no department, literary, me- 
chanical, or commercial, of newspaper production as 1t was in his 
day.which he did not know, But to Wiltshire generally it was as 
the literary representative that he was known. | Not only was he, 
personally, a more familiar figure in the county than any other 
journalist of his time—it is not likely that any journalist will be 


so well known, personally, in the future. With the increase of *4 


newspapers, and the multiplying and expansion of reports, there 
is, necessarily, conceutration of effort ; individual journalists cannot 
in the new circumstances acquire the pre-eminence which was 
possible in the more spacious, less crowded days of the mid-nine- 
teenth century. The second George Simpson of the Gazette knew 


all the public men of the county, he was known to them, and he © | 
was himself one of their number, for he not only recorded public | 


policy but helped to mould it so far as Wiltshire was concerned, 


especially in the sphere of Imperial politics. He was prominent | 
in local government also, being a mayor and an alderman of Devizes | 
and one of the first aldermen of the County Council. In these | 
public activities he was the antithesis of his father. Zhe Gazette” 


continued its progress and development under his control, which 
lasted from 1870, or thereabouts, to 1886, but it was not a period of 


many outward changes. On April 3rd, 1879, the price was reduced ~ | 


to the popular Jd@., and in the early eighties the broadsheet had 
grown to 27% inches by 194 inches (size of page). This Mr. 
Simpson retired from the responsibility of editorship and manave- 
ment in 1886, but he continued to contribute to the paper until 
a year or two before he died, in April, 1900. 


His successor was the present Mr. George Simpson. He is the | 
last of his line of that name, his only son, Lieutenant George | 
Simpson, of the Durham Light Infantry (who, however, had taken | 


By. J. J. Slade. 45 


to mining engineering, and not to journalism, as his profession), 
being killed in the opening days of the Battle of the Somme. It 
was the present Mr. Simpson who on January doth, 1888, abandoned 


_ the form of the four-page broadsheet for that of the handier eight 


pages of smaller size—six columns to a page, the page measuring 
22 inches long by 162 inches. The seventh column had to be put 
back in five or six years’ time, the width of the page becoming 
184 inches. In 1898 the columns were lengthened to 23 inches, 
giving on the paper as a whole 56 additional inches. In May, 
1906, the ten pages were increased to twelve, with a slight short- 
ening of the columns. 

One other change under the present Mr. George Simpson was 
the alteration of the title of 1819 to The Wiltshire Gazette; this 
change was made on November 18th, 1909. It. was his privilege to 
be the proprietor of the paper when it reached its centenary on 
January 6th, 1916. That was a special issue, which recorded in 
an amplified form the facts here narrated. A copy of the issue is 
on the file at the Society’s Museum. 

Like nearly every, other paper, daily and weekly, the Gazette is 
in a transition state, as regards size and price, owing to the war. 
Soon after the declaration the size was reduced from twelve pages 
to ten; in the course of 1915 there was a reduction to eight pages. 
The price was increased from 1d. to 1$d, in March, 1917. 

In the early part of 1914 the business was converted into the 
private company of George Simpson & Co., Devizes, Ltd., but this 
was for convenience only, as Mr, George Simpson remains in fact 
the proprietor, though he has entrusted the actual editorship to 
the hands of one who served under him in that capacity long 
enough to be thoroughly imbued with the traditions of the paper. 


THE WILTSHIRE J'ELEGRAPH. 


The Wiltshire Telegraph was first published on January 13th, 
1877, from the offices of The Wiltshire Gazette (at that time the 
Devizes and. Wiltshire Gazette), at Devizes. It.was the venture of 
the present Mr. George Simpson, although his father was then and 


46 Wiltshire Newspapers—Past and Present. 


for some years afterwards the head of the business as a whole; 
the imprint stated that it was printed and published by “ George 
Simpson, Junior.” The paper has always had its distinctive 
features. For instance, it was a half-penny sheet, and a half-penny 
newspaper published in a country town in 1877 wasa novelty. Zhe — 
Gazette was then (and for more than two years onward) being 
published at 3d., and the leading article with which the Zeélegraph 
made its bow to the public began thus :— 


‘At the pressing instance of many friends we have resolved to supply 
a want which has long been felt in Devizes as well as in other parts of 
the county by issuing weekly in addition to the Gazette a cheap Con- 
servative paper, and we have determined to do soata price which shall 
bring it within the reach of all—even the poorest. The Woltshzre 
Telegraph will henceforth be published every Saturday morning at the 
low price of a half-penny, and for that small sum we promise the 
working classes, for whom the 7'elegraph is principally intended, the — 
news of the day up to the latest hour of publication in as readable and 
interesting a form as we can put it before them.” 


The Telegraph has always been a four-page paper, except on one 
or two special occasions, such as the Diamond Jubilee, when it has | 
been enlarged to eight pages, and one week early in the war, when, | 
the paper difficulty being very menacing, ib was reduced to two | 
pages, It started with five columns to a page, the columns 20 | 
inches in length and (as they have been throughout) the width of | 
those in the Gazette, After eleven years, on January 7th, 1888, | 
the number of columns on a page was increased to six, this being | 
editorially attributed to the success which had attended the pub- | 
lication. On June 5th in the following year (1889) an inch was | 
added to the length of the column, and for the first time the size of | 
the Telegraph page and that of the Gazette page coincided. So it | 
continued (and the record of the changes of the Gazefte page from | 
that date onward may be taken as applying to the Telegraph also) | 
until the issue for July 8th, 1916. The paper shortage then made | 
it necessary to reduce the page from seven columns (it remained | 
seven for the Gazette) to six columns, and to shorten the columns | 
by 2 inches, which left them 20 inches. A more drastic change | 
was forced upon the management on April 7th, 1917, when the | 
page was cut down to five columns of 17 inches. So it is at the | 


By J. J. Slade. 47 


time of writing; it ig by contrast with the Zelegraph at its biggest 
almost a toy newspaper, one of the curiosities of the war. 
Another distinctive feature of the Zelegraph in normal times is 
its colour, It was one of the earliest newspapers to print upon 
tinted paper, and this soon gave rise, from its hue, to the good- 
‘natured soubriquet of “The Pink Paper,” and other terms moie 
: broadly humorous. It was first issued on pink paper on June 
28th, 1884, but the dye difficulty caused by the war necessitated a 
‘yeversion to white, which took place at the reduction in size 
| on July 8th, 1916. The price of the Zelegraph has not been ad- 


‘vanced from its original half-penny. 


: 
: 


| 

| It is an undesigned coincidence that the present size of the 7’e/e- 
‘graph is exactly that of the earliest issues of its “parent” paper, 
‘the Gazette. 


THE DEVIZES AND WILTSHIRE ADVERTISER, 


The original title of this paper was The Devizes Advertiser, and 
\the first number bears the date Thursday, March 25th, 1858. Its 
joriginator was Charles Gillman, a young man who had come from 
'|Cheltenham in 1852 as reporter for the Wallshire Independent, then 
t published and edited by Mr. Burrows. He was a distant relative

No. 28, Brittox, and here it was that he concejved and matured the — 
idea of publishing a newspaper at the popular price of one penny. 
A paper at that price had been recently started at Swindon, 
and if Swindon why not Devizes? The Devizes and Wiltshire 
Gazette and the Wiltshire Independent were both higher priced. 
He felt convinced that a penny newspaper would supply a public : 
want; he also felt confident of his ability to conduct a newspaper | 
successfully. Hvents proved that he was right in both respects. | 


The following extracts are from the editor’s introduction in the 
first number of the paper :-— 


‘“ Formerly newspapers had their origin chiefly in times of political 
commotion, and were designed to represent the views and opinions of 
some political party in the State. Now they are desired not as political — 
organs merely, or principally, but as news-papers—which is, indeed, | 
their proper character and mission. The Parliamentary legislation of — 
the past few years, too, has been of such a nature as to loosen the fetters | 
which bound the Press of this country, and to throw open a wide field, | 
in which those possessing the facilities and the spirit to enter it, might | 
find an useful, an honourable, and moreover a profitable field of exertion. 

‘‘ Under these favourable circumstances, what was to prevent the ~ 
starting of a Cheap Newspaper in Devizes? Such a paper is now | 
placed before the public. It is for them to judge whether it deserves — 
a continuance of that support which they have been pleased to award | 
it so generously, and, hitherto upon trust. . . . ‘The upward and 
onward path of increasing usefulness and efficiency is before us, and | 
we are as confident that we shall always desire to tread in that path | 
as we are, that in doing so we shall be sustained and encouraged by a_ 
generous and discerning public. a 

““Tnstead of offering high-sounding professions and promises, a more | 
practical course is ours. Let the ‘talkers of society’ talk; let the | 
querulous quarrel; let the politicians and theologians dispute; we go | 
upon a different plan—that of setting to work to supply the public with | 
a really good and useful publication, at the lowest possible price. In | 
carrying out this work the only ‘principles’ that will be acknowledged | 
will be those of truth and justice, while all subjects will be looked at | 
in the light of utility and common sense.” | 


three pages were printed in London (W. Eglington), and the first | 
page contained about half advertisements and half local news. | 
The method of production was on a demy “ Columbian.” hand-press. | 
The paper met with such a large measure of approval that within | 
five weeks the circulation exceeded two thousand copies, and it was)

| found to be imperative to supply a quicker and less cumbersome 
| means of printing than could by provided by a hand-press; and a 


9) 


double-demy “Caxton” machine, by Myers, of Southampton, was | 
i installed. From this time two pages were printed locally. The 

larger machine necessitated more ground space, and a removal was 
» made to newly-erected and much more commodious premises at 
No. 19, Brittox. At first the new machine was turned by hand- 
| power by two relays of two men each, each relay working straight 


i away for fifteen minutes. But the physical energy demanded to 


yl work off 2500 sheets on a heavy machine was too great, and within 
a month a 2-horse-power steam engine was installed, The financial 
i strain caused by this purchase of new machinery and removal to 
new premises was considerable upon the somewhat slender resources 
of the proprietor, but the Advertiser had made many friends who 
/ were willing to lend help, amongst whom was Mr. Simon Watson- 
Taylor, Liberal M.P. for Devizes, who lent temporary help of a 
i very substantial nature. 

| On September 19th, 1861, the size was increased to extra royal 
(20 inches by 27 inches)—four pages of seven columns each, the 
) partly-printed sheet being still used, and an extra supplement was 
‘issued occasionally when pressure upon space was severe. The 
‘| circulation continued to increase, and by 1876 four thousand copies 
| were printed every week. The frequent issue of supplements proved 
| to be inconvenient, and the proprietor felt that the time for further 
jenlargement had arrived. Accordingly a quad-demy Harrild’s 
| Bremner machine was purchased, and with the first issue in 
| January, 1877, an eight-page demy paper was produced, four pages 
. local and four printed away. The steam engine was also displaced 
t | by a 24-h.p. Crossley’s “ Otto” gas engine—one of the earliest in 
‘\the neighbourhood, At the same time the title was altered to” 
Devizes and Wilts Advertiser, the “and Wilts” having significance. 
| During the years that succeeded, the “ Advertiser” threw off its 
] cloak of political neutrality, and became the recognised organ of 
| Liberalism and Nonconformity. Amongst its literary contributors 
for a number of years were the brothers James and Edward Waylen, 
and several of the masters at Marlborough College who were

pronounced Liberals. At the end of 1883 the partly-printed sheet | 
system was abolished; in the beginning of 1884 and onward the “| 
whole eight pages were printed on the premises. In 1880 the : 
lease was purchased of large workshops at the rear of Nos. 29 and 
30, Maryport Street, and as these were also adjacent to the Brittox 
premises, the two streets forming an angle here, communication 
was easily opened. The workshops became the printing office, but 
the editorial and publishing offices continued at the Brittox until 
the front houses in Maryport Street were vacated by their then 
tenants. There was then a complete transfer to that street, the 
new imprint appearing on May Ist, 1902. The stationery, etc., | 
business in the Brittox has passed to other hands. | 

The founder, Mr. Charles Gillman, retired from business in | 
January, 1894, and the paper was carried on by his second son, 
2ussell Davis Gillman. The elder son, named Charles after his ; 
father, had for some time been associated with the business, and | 
still is so. The retiring proprietor, who died on November 28th, : 


1898, was a man of many activities and interests, who gave of his” 
time and his talents freely for the benefit of the religious, social, ; 
political, and municipal life of the town. He was elected to the | 
Town Council in 1874, and served the office of Mayor for the two | 
years 1889-90 and 1890-91. He was also a borough magistrate, and | 


for ten years a member of the board of guardians. | 

Mr. Russell Gillman, the new proprietor, had for some years | 
been assisting his father in the publication of the paper. He was 
a man of considerable natural ability, who had read much and ! 
travelled widely, his taste for travel being created by some sea-| 
faring experiences before he definitely took to journalism as his | 
life’s work. In recognition of his extensive travels and geographical | 
knowledge he was in 1897 elected a Fellow of the Royal Geo- | 
graphical Society. His knowledge of men and of the world served 
him well in his conduct of the paper, into which he infused much : 
energy. On January 2nd, 1896, he increased the size of the 
Advertiser to extra quad-royal, for which purpose a new machine | 
was put in—a Payne’s Wharfedale of the newest pattern. This} 
made it a seven columns to a page paper, and at the same time a|

further slight change was made in the title—from Devizes and 


Wilts Advertiser to Devizes and Wiltshire Advertiser ; it seems a 
trivial alteration but its significance lay in the prominence 
which, in the arrangement and size of type, was given to the 


name of the county, that of the town becoming subordinate, In 


1908 the jubilee of the paper was celebrated by a “Dickens 


Dinner” at the Bear Hotel, to which the leading men of the 
town and neighbourhood were invited by the proprietor, In 
1909 Mr. Gillman undertook the management of a syndicate of 
newspapers at St. Albans: in addition he was doing literary work 
for Messrs, Dent & Co., for whom he edited a “ Life and Letters of 
Charles Lamb,’ and undertook a translation of Erckmann-Chatrian’s 
“Conscript.” But his most ambitious work was a translation of 


| Heine’s “ Reisebilder,” which was published by Messrs. Sampson, 


Low, Marston, & Co. The strain was greater than his strength 


would allow, and he was obliged to take a long rest, during which 


| he made many sea voyages in search of health, the last being to 


| the Argentine. He, like his father, was an alderman of the borough, 


served the office of mayor 1898-9, and was appointed a borough 


| magistrate in 1900. He was a keen politician and an effective 


speaker on the Liberal platform. 

After the death of Mr. Russell Gillman, in February, 1910, the 
Advertiser was carried on by his widow under the capable editorship 
of her nephew, Mr. W. H. Gillman, who had served his novitiate 
on his family’s paper and now returned to it with the useful 
experience acquired with a large newspaper concern at Mansfield. 
On the outbreak of the war with Germany in August, 1914, Mr. 
Gillman enlisted in the 2/4th Wilts Regt., and after spending 
nearly a year in India returned to England to take up a com- 
| mission. The vacancy in the editorship was filled by Mrs. R. Rogers, 


j}a niece of Mr. Russell Gillman, who was not without literary 
_ experience and knowledge of the world, as she had previously filled 
| a position in the office of a London publisher, and had spent some 


years in the Argentine. She still presides over the destinies of the 
| paper—the only lady in the county to hold the position of news- 
| paper editor,

In 1915 the shortage of paper owing to the war with Germany By 
necessitated a reduction in size, and the old size of quad-demy was — 
reverted to. Labour difficulties, owing to nearly all the employees 
joining the army, were met by the installation of a linotype com- 
posing machine, In 1917 the difficulties of publication became ~ 
more acute, and the majority of papers in the caunty raised their 7 
price to three half-pence, The Advertiser preferred to reduce the | 
size rather than increase the price, and the contents were compressed | 
into six pages. So it is at the time of writing, there being SIX 
columns to a page, with length of column 19 inches, 

At the end of the same year that the Devizes Advertiser was 
founded the founder issued also his “ Devizes Register.’ This requires 
to be recorded because in a year or two the publication (an annual ~ 
one) included a register of the principal local and county events of | 
the preceding year; this has been continued till the present date, : 
and the series: of nearly sixty issues is very useful for reference. 
The publication has had somewhat varying titles, but the “ Register” 
has featured throughout—Gilmen’s Devizes Public Register and 
Family Almanack; Gillman’s Devizes Public Register, Business 
Directory, and Fanuly Almanack ; Gillman’s Devizes Public 
Register and Business Directory ; Gillman’s Public Register, | 
Almanack and Directory—the present title. The publication did | 
not at first contain a complete directory, but it was soon added. | 
It has also been the vehicle for a record of outstanding events in’ | 
Devizes history from Norman times, and for memoranda of value’ | 
on the history of Devizes streets with their inhabitants, and other | 
articles of antiquarian interest, | 


THE WILTSHIRE TIMES. 


To deal adequately with Zhe Wiltshire Times it is necessary first | 
to describe the beginnings of the paper which ultimately absorbed it. | 

On May 6th, 1854, The Trowbridge and North Wilts Advertiser | 
was founded by the late Benjamin Lansdown. As its name de- | 
notes, it was a Trowbridge production. It was published first as | 
a monthly paper, the printing office being at Back Street, Trow- | 
bridge, a private house almost opposite Manvers Street, which is now 


By J. J. Slade. 03 


occupied by a dealer in old clothes. The wording under the title of 
The Trowbridge and North Wilts Advertiser in its early days stated 
thatit was “ widely circulated in Trowbridge, Bradford, Bath, West- 
bury, Warminster, Frome, Melksham, Chippenham, Devizes, etc., 
etc.,” a fairly comprehensive area for a monthly paper of four 
pages, 11 inches x 84 inches. 

A year later, in the spring of 1855, it was called Zhe Trowbridge 


_ Advertiser and General Business Paper “supported by the Clergy, 
Influential Gentlemen, Manufacturers, and Tradesmen of Trow- 


bridge.” The offices were said to be adjoining the Post Office, 


Trowbridge, which was then in Back Street. 


On Saturday, June 30th, 1855, it became a weekly paper under 


the title Zhe Trowbridge Advertiser, the sub-title stating that it 


was “a weekly newspaper for the Million circulated in Trowbridge, 


Bradford, Bath, Westbury, Warminster, Frome, Melksham, etc.” 


The new size was eight pages, 1/7 inches x 11 inches. The ad- 


| vertisement rate was twopence per line, “subject to a considerable 
| reduction for repeated insertions.” There was not much displayed 


advertising in those days, and space was measured by the line, not 


| by the inch. In the first issue of the weekly paper the following 


“ Address to the Public” appeared :— 


‘““A penny paper embodying a mass of information, general and local, 
and published weekly, is a novelty even in these days. In presenting 
the first issue of the weekly publication of this paper to the inhabitants 
of Trowbridge, a promise of a year’s duration is fulfilled. Most of the 
numerous supporters of the Trowbridge Advertiser will remember the 
occasion and great need this town and neighbourhood had for an ad- 
vertising medium at the first starting of the Advertiser, now twelve 
months since, and it must be acknowledged that their continued pat- 
ronage, together with an extensive circulation, enables the paper to be 
doubled in size as well as in the extent and nature of information, 
without increasing the price. Our weekly paper will be conducted upon 
an extended scale of improvement, in which every requisite of a regular 
journal will be contained, parliamentary news, foreign intelligence, the 
markets, subjects of general interest, together with a regular notice of 
all local matters of public interest in this town and neighbourhood. 
The price and circulation are matters deserving the notice of Advertisers, 
for the former is a curiosity in literature; as nothing equal to the 
present publication has ever been offered at so low a price since the 
time of Caxton to the present moment. The circulation is extensive, 
equal to many of the county papers; and readers may judge what the

future will be in comparing the present to one of the former numbers | 
of the Advertiser. The latest intelligence of the war will be especially | 
given weekly, and further improvements still in contemplation will yet 
be announced, as regards a faithful chronicle of all matters which can 
at all interest any branch of the community.” 

The Trowbridge Advertiser was the first penny weekly newspaper 
in Wiltshire, and at that time there were only about thirty or forty 
such penny weeklies in the whole of the United Kingdom, In 
the following issue it was announced that the edition was out of 
print on the second day of publication. 

The printer who launched the Zrowbridge Advertiser upon the 
troubled sea of newspaperdom was a Trowbridge man who had | 
returned from working in London without health but with large 
ambitions. He was 35 years old, frail and delicate, but energetic | 
and keen-minded enough to see an opening in the town and 
district for a newspaper locally published. His wife, in addition : 
to being the mother of three sons and a daughter, was a good ; 
comrade in joy and sorrow. Between them they got out the | 
first little paper. He pulled off the copies on a hand press;_ 
she used the roller on the ink table and transferred the ink 
to the type. Another good friend in the early days was — 
the Rev. Samuel Martin, a well-known preacher who was the | 
minister of the Conigre Unitarian Chapel ‘in Trowbridge; he 
used to read the proofs and cheer up Benjamin Lansdown when his | 
task seemed heavy. Yet another friend was William Millington, 
an architectural draughtsman, who also painted pictures of high | 
quality (many are still prized possessions in Trowbridge homes). | 
William Millington was a neighbour of “ Ben” Lansdown ; a | 
daughter, Sarah, married the eldest son of the founder of the | 
Trowbridge Advertiser, and a son, Henry, was for forty-three 
years organist of the Trowbridge Parish Church, “Ben” Lansdown | 
had another great friend in Isaac Pitman, who was born in humble | 
circumstances in Trowbridge, invented Phonography, and died Sir 
isaac Pitman at the Royal Crescent in Bath. Benjamin Lansdown 
died on Dec. 10th, 1884, having seen the full fruition of his ambition | 
in regard to the Trowbridge Advertiser. | 

In the issue of the 7rowbridge Advertiser of Dec. 13th, 1854, it | 


By J. J. Slade. : 90 


was announced that the paper was to be enlarged on the last 


Saturday in the month. Instead of eight small pages it would 


consist of four large pages, “similar to the usual county and local 
newspapers. With the first issue of the large paper will be given 
to all regular subscribers a Splendid Engraving.” The new paper 
was 23 inches x 18 inches in size of page, having five columns to 
the page. After that the size varied; sometimes there were four 
pages, sometimes two, sometimes a small supplement. 

The Trowbridge Advertiser progressed in popularity during the 


following years, and in 1860 it received a big lift as regards cir- 


culation owing to the public excitement and interest aroused by 
the Road Hill murder, a baffling crime which was solved by the 


confession of Constance Kent. 


On April 27th, 1861, the paper was enlarged to eight pages, 
21 inches x 14 inches, forty columns, On August 29th, 1863, it 


| reverted to four pages, 24 inches x 19 inches. In this form it 


'was described as “a newspaper printed entirely in our own estab- 


lishment, and the first ever so produced in Trowbridge.” Up to 
that time some portion of the paper, that containing general news, 


| had been printed and supplied elsewhere, the half-printed sheets 


being completed by the addition of local news and advertising. 


The system is still in force in some places. 


In the autumn of 1868 1t was announced that the circulation was 
2,500 copies ; in January, 1870, it had reached 3,000.. In February, 


17 inches, there being six columns on a page, and about this time 


the circulation had reached a total of over 10,000. By this time 


the printing office had been moved to Silver Street, where a 


stationery shop occupied the front of the building. This is still in 


1877, the paper was again enlarged to eight pages, 24 inches x 


the occupation of the firm, although the printing works are now 


Now to come to the Wiltshire Times. This was first issued on 


| 
‘ 
in Duke Street, where they cover a considerable area. 


| Sept. 28th, 1876. Its mission was political. Liberal principles 


were badly supported in the county so far as the newspapers were 
concerned, so a number of leading gentlemen in the county, holding 
| Liberal views, and being anxious to propagate them, formed a

company and founded a newspaper and called it The Walishire 
Times. It was “ ee and published for the proprietors, the 
‘Wiltshire Times’ Co., Ltd., by Henry Barrass, at 39, Market 
Place, Devizes; also published by William T. Helmsley, at the 
Branch Office, 47, Regent St., New Swindon,” Lord Fitzniaurice 
informs us that the principal shareholders in the company were 
the Marquis of Lansdowne, the present Lord Fitzmaurice, Sir 
Thomas Grove, the Right Hon, E. P. Bouverie (then Chairman of 
the North Wilts Liberal Association), and Mr. G, P. Fuller. The 
paper, which in a way was the successor of the old Liberal organ 
published at Devizes, in the same premises, and under the same | 
editorship, the Waltshire Independent, started with a big programme | 
and high ideals. It was announced that “Its supporters will in- 
clude every class of the community. It will at once circulate 
among the nobility, clergy, and gentry, the professional and trading 
classes, farmers, and agricultural labourers, mechanics, and artisans.” 
It was a good-looking production, but one of the hardest facts of 
the newspaper world is that very little success as a rule attends a 
newspaper which is started for the sake of certain propaganda, 
especially when the new paper has to compete with old-established 
and efficient productions already in the field it hopes to cover. A 
certain paper becomes a habit with its readers, and the habit is | 
not easily broken. | | 

Early in 1878 the imprint stated the proprietor to be Mr. Barrass, 
and in the issue of April 22nd, 1880, under the heading “To our 
Readers,” the following appeared :— 


‘‘Tt is well known to personal acquaintances, and to numerous friends _| 
known only by name, that the Editor and Proprietor of the Wiltshire | 
Times has for the last eighteen months been suffering from ill-health, | 
and therefore has not been able to exert that energy in the promotion | 
of the Liberal cause in the county which his political friends and sup- | 
porters havea right to expect. It has also become clear that Trowbridge | 
isa more central situation than Devizes, and that the principal organ of | 
Liberal opinion in the county should be located:in that town. The | 
Wiltshire Times will, therefore, be incorporated with our well-known | 
and esteemed contemporary, the Zrowbridge Advertiser, which is | 
already so well known in Liberal circles for its services to our cause, | 
and for the ability with which it defends its views. We would ask all | 
those who have hitherto supported us in this district to give to the | 


By J. J. Slade. 57 


WILTSHIRE TIMES AND TROWBRIDGE ADVERTISER the same assistance 
as they have to the Wiltshire Zimes.” 


So it came to pass that the Zrowbridge Advertiser became the 
Wiltshire Times and Trowbridge Advertiser, and from the printing 
works in Duke Street, Trowbridge, the two-in-one paper was first 
issued on May Ist, 1880, by its proprietor, Benjamin Lansdown, 
who the previous week had reproduced the valedictory address of 
the Wultshire Tumes, and added the following :— 

“The field which specially belonged to the Wiltshire Times will, 
however, in no manner be abandoned ; on the contrary it will be worked 
with renewed and increased vigour, and the assurances of support 
already received fully warrant the belief that the same success which 
has attended the Trowbridge and North Wilts Advertiser in its older 


district will also attend it under its new and extended title in the 
broader area to which it will now appeal.” 


The policy of the Wiltshire Times from that date was to give 
plenty of accurate and interesting news. It was realised more 
than ever that a county newspaper will only succeed provided 
ib Is a newspaper, and not a sheet permeated with political propa- 
ganda. ‘This policy has succeeded so well that although the paper 
has fought for Liberal principles with its coat off on many occasions, 
it numbers among its staunchest supporters and best friends those 
who follow the flag of Conservatism and Constitutionalism. The 
policy of the paper has aimed at full, accurate, and complete reports 
of county and local events and incidents; and it has succeeded 


_ because of that and not because of any political tenets it may have 


advocated. 
To conclude: Benjamin Lansdown took into partnership his two 


sons, James and George, who carried on the business of B. Lansdown 


& Sons after the death of the founder in 1884. James Lansdown 
died in 1901, and the sole management devolved upon the remaining 
son, George. for the last few years, owing to the ill-health 
of this gentleman, much of the burden of management has 
fallen upon the shoulders of his nephew, Charles Millington 
Lansdown, grandson of Benjamin, and son of James. ‘The 
present proprietors of the Waltshire Tumes are George Lansdown 


and Sarah, widow of James Lansdown, and the paper 1s maintained 


58 Wiltshire Newspapers—Past and Present. 


in complete independence of any outside control or influence, 
political or otherwise. 

In 1903, in order to cope with the increasing sales, a rotary 
printing machine was installed and the paper was enlarged from 
eight to twelve pages. The price was one penny from the first 
issue onward, until the spring of this year (1917), when, owing to 
the greatly increased cost of production, the result of the war, it 
was raised to 14d. 


Three members of the staff have been with the firm respectively 
53, 50, and 39 years. 


THE TROWBRIDGE CHRONICLE. 


The Trowbridge Chronicle was founded in May, 1861, The office 
fle of the paper lacks the first three issues, and we cannot 
quote from the editorial announcement, if there was one, with which 
the venture was inaugurated. An article which was published 
nearly thirty years afterwards, on the retirement of the founder, 
might be presumed to echo the earliest editorial proclamation, but 
for the fact that it represents a state of things which did not exist. 
It sets before the readers of 1890 a picture of a Trowbridge of 1861 | 
which had no newspaper, whereas the 7’rowbridge and North Wilts | 
Advertiser, printed and published at Trowbridge, was established | 
in 1854, The article of 1890 said :-— 


“Tt [theChronicle] was necessarily but a crude specimen of journalism, 
yet it served the purposes for which it was intended, viz., to give its 
readers some kind of record of what was going on around them and in | 
their midst, which occurrences were, till then, lost in oblivion, save and | 
except fugitive bits of local news, in fragmentary form, that now and | 
then found their way into the columns of a distant paper, supplied by | 
stray correspondents. Whatever opinions the inhabitants of Trowbridge | 
had on any subject of public import, could only be expressed to one 
another privately, as they were without the means of giving other forms 
of expression to them, except now and then by pamphlet, or in a letter 
to a Devizes, Salisbury, or Bath paper, which was very rare indeed, as 
those papers could not be expected to have sympathy with people of 
an isolated country town. With a strong under-current of democratic 
discontent against established religious and political institutions surging 
through men’s minds,and no public halls in which to air their grievances, 
fancied or real, was it any wonder that the town was considered slightly | 
dull and dangerous in those days and rather behind the age? Mr. | 


By J. J. Slade. | 59 


William Collins, a native of Trowbridge, and educated at the British 
School, a youth with many others who have risen to occupy prominent 
positions in the world, to his credit be it said, with full knowledge and 
cognisance of the existing state of things to which we have referred, 
started this paper, and boldly announced that the principles it would 
advocate would be those of firm and unflinching support to Church and 
State, and therefore of adherence to the cause of Conservatism.” 

The paper was first issued on May 11th, 1861. Its title was 
The Trowbridge Chronicle, Volunteers’ Gazette, and West of England 
Advertiser ; inset in the title was a block of the royal arms. The 
imprint stated that it was “Printed and published by William 
Collins, Market Place, Trowbridge, his residence being at the saine 
place.” The paper was of eight pages, five columns toa page; the 
length of the columns was 184 inches, the width 24 inches. It 
was evidently the policy of the editor to cater for and attract the 
support of the Volunteers (the Volunteer Force was something of 


99 


a novelty), for not only was “ Volunteers’ Gazette” a secondary 


title, but prominence was given to the Volunteer intelligence ; it 


was made “a feature” (to use a modern newspaper phrase) im- 


| mediately following the leading article. The tone of the editorial 


matter was pronouncedly moderate; reading it, it does not strike 


one as bearing out the claim to the pronounced Conservative bias 


which was put forward by the writer whom we have quoted, though 
that was its tendency. In later years, after a considerable interval 
in which editorial leading articles were missing altogether, the 
political tone became sharper, and towards the close of Mr. Collins’s 
regime the local asperities issued in a libel action, in which he 


' came out the winner. 


-Of the eight pages four were printed in London and consisted of 


news and articles which were general, not local. In this respect 


the paper was one of many of its kind. The local columns included 
news of other towns in West Wilts besides Trowbridge. Two 
advertisements showed that Mr. William Collins was a bookseller, 
bookbinder, and picture framer as well as a newspaper publisher and 


| general printer; the advertisement of his framing business makes 


special reference to his “ bird’s-eye maple,” which was so popular

At the beginning of 1862 the “imprint” was transferred from 
its place at the bottom of the last column on the back page, and 
placed in bold type across the front page beneath the title—“ Printed 
aud published by William Collins, Market Place, Trowbridge.” 
The fact is mentioned because it is unusual for the name of the 
publisher to be given this form of prominence; incorporation of 
the founder’s name in the title itself was commoner,—such as 
Berrow’s Worcester Journal, Sinvpson’s Salisbury Gazette, Keene's 
Bath Journal, and the like. On the 3rd May the same year the 
ordinary imprint re-appeared, but the displayed announcement on 
the front page remained until the size of the paper was: altered in 4 
1876, as noted below. | 

Minor changes in appearance, but significant of meaning to those 
who have inner knowledge of the working of newspapers, took — 
place as time passed. The Volunteer intelligence dwindled until | 
it no longer justified the “feature” heading and the prominence | 
first given to it; on the 23rd November, 1861, and onwards this 
class of news was dealt with like the rest, but “ Volunteers’ Gazette” 
continued part of the title until July 6th, 1867, after which date 
the title of the paper was The Trowbridge Chronicle, and West of 
England Advertiser. 

The “ official” file for 1875 is imperfect, and it is easy to guess 
the reason: the publisher was “ moving house,” and in the confusion | 
and extra work and worry the business of “filing” was neglected. 
There is the paper for February 20th, with the old imprint, and 
then a gap until July 3rd, which was “Printed and published by 
William Collins at his General Printing Works, Narrow Wine 
Street, and published by him at his residence in the Market Place,” 
The first printing works were at the back of Mr. Collins’s shop, 
abutting on St. James’s churchyard; the premises he acquired in 
Narrow Wine Street were those which until then were known as 
the Temperance Hall. | 

The change in the place of printing was, designedly or accidentally, | 
a prelude to a change in the character of the paper. On August 
26th, 1876, it ceased to be partly printed in London, and was 
printed entirely in Trowbridge—as an editorial note explained, 


By J. J. Slade. 61 


to give facilities for printing ampler local news. Instead of eight 
pages it was four, but as the pages were considerably enlarged the 
Editor had, as he claimed, more room at his disposal: there were 


' seven columns on a page, and the columns were lengthened from 


— —~- --— - —_—- 


a 


184 inches to 24+ inches, the width being a fraction less than 


formerly, The Chronicle thus became a four-page “ broadside,” a 


popular shape at that date. Its title was changed to The Trow- 


bridge Chronicle, Bradford-on-Avon Times, and Melksham and 
Westbury Gazette, and the name of the publisher disappeared from 
beneath the title. | 

This form of the paper did not long continue, With its first 
issue (January 5th) in 1878, it reverted to eight pages; the number 
of columns was reduced from seven to six, and the columns were 


| 204 inches long; but again the net result was to give more space 
| for local news, the whole of the pages being printed locally. 


In this form Mr. Collins was content to let his paper be for the 


| remainder of his proprietorship, which came to an end in 1890. 
| The Conservative party appear to have wanted a more uncompro- 


mising “organ” for what since 1885 had been the West Wilts 


| Division; and a syndicate of members of that party bought 7'he 


Chronicle from its founder, and placed it under the management 
of Mr. J. M. Brindley, a former Conservative agent for the division, 


| The change was announced on the 24th May, 1890, and it is ap- 
propriate to quote the testimony which was then given to the re- 
tiring founder and editor :— : 


“To follow the Trowbridge Chronicle through all its vicissitudes 
during [its] thirty years war with all sorts of conflicting opinions, re- 
ligious, political, and social—against strenuous opposition of all kinds ; 
sometimes from friends who wished to be in advance of the times ; more 
often from opponents who were averse to control in any shape or form 
—would be too great an undertaking for us at the present moment. 
Our purpose is to do honour to the founder of the Chronicle, who, 

_ single-handed, entered upon this risky enterprise; battled his way 
mantully through all difficulties ; surmounted every obstacle ; and 
valiantly upheld and defended the principles which he propounded 
from the first; and has the proud satisfaction of living to see those 


principles predominant.” 


The change was indicated in the imprint on June 7th, 1890, 


| when the name Collins, after appearing for nearly thirty years, 


62 Wiltshire Newspapers—Past and Present. 


gave way to the following :—“Printed and published by John 
Major Brindley for the Trowbridge and West Wilts Printing and 
Publishing Company, Ltd., at the Company’s Printing Offices, 
Narrow Wine Street, Trowbridge.” There was a link between the 
old management and the new; Mr. E. D. Bennett, a capable 
journalist of the old school, who was with Mr. Collins in the later 
years of his proprietorship, retained his post. 

Under the new management the appearance of the front page 
was somewhat altered. On November 8th, 1890, the second part 
of the sub-title became “ General Advertising Medium for Wiltshire” 
(instead of “for North and South Wilts”), and the Royal Arms | 
became more flamboyant. | 

‘In five years, however, came another change, again in the in- 
terests of the Conservative party in the division, whose champion 
in the electoral field was Colonel R. G. Chaloner. The paper be- 
came the property of a few Conservative leaders in the division, | 
and on June 15th, 1895, the imprint announced that it was “printed | 
and published by Thomas Ablott for the proprietor at the offices 
of the Trowbridge and West Wilts Printing and Publishing Com- 
pany, Narrow Wine Street, Trowbridge.” Mr. Ablott, who came 
from the Eastern Counties, was also the editor, and under the new 
auspices, proprietorial and editorial, the Chronicle became more | 
ambitious. On the 6th July it appeared with seven columns ona | 
page (eight pages), the columns being within a fraction of 24 inches 
in length, but with the width unchanged. An editorial notice 
stated :— 


“To-day this journal emerges from the region of Local Journalism 
and assumes the rank and importance of a County Newspaper.” 


It claimed to be, in its new form, the largest newspaper in 
Wiltshire; its politics were described as “broadly Constitutional | 
and Unionist.” Its title became Phe Wiltshire Chronicle, with | 
which is ineorporated the Trowbridge Chronicle, Bradford-on-Avon | 
Times, and Melksham and Westbury Gazette. A few months later | 
there was a slight change in imprint, which on October 12th, 1895, | 
became :—“ Printed and published by Thomas Ablott for the pro- 
prietors of the West Wilts Printing Company, Ltd., at their offices, | 


By J. J. Slade. 63 


Vv 


31, Market Place, and Narrow Wine Street, Trowbridge.” The 
Market Place publishing office, however, was not the same as the 
original home of the paper. 

The political tone of Zhe Chronicle became yet more vigorous 
and pointed, and in the spring of 1899 an endeavour was made to 
extend the sphere of its activity in the party interest. Swindon, 
in the Northern Parliamentary Division, had not an advowedly 
Conservative paper published there, and it was added to the Chronicle 
district, the pages of the paper being at the same time enlarged 
from seven columns to eight columns. 

Twelve months later there was another change of proprietorship 
and management. ‘The proprietary of 1895, the chief member of 

_whom is understood to have been Mr. G. Ll. Palmer, was enlarged to 
a limited liability company, with Mr. George W. Rose and Mr. 
Henry Bottomley as managing directors. Both were Trowbridge 
townsmen; and Mr. Bottomley, whose name appeared in 
, the imprint for the first time (as representing the West 
| Wilts Printing Company) on May Oth, 1900, had _ for 
| some years been a member of the literary staff of the 
Wiltshire Times. Under the new auspices the area covered by 
| the paper was contracted, as was the paper itself, the columns on 
a page going from eight to seven. At the same time new offices 
were built, in Manvers Street, and the first issue from these 
premises was on January 19th, 1901. At the end of 1902 Mr, 
Bottomley took over the concern on his own responsibility, and 


made a further reduction in size, the columns being shortened by 
‘| an inch on November Ist, 1902. On June 3rd, 1905, the size of 
| the page was further reduced, to six columns. In February, 1906, 
| Mr. Bottomley filed his petition in bankruptcy; the Wiltshire 
Chronicle was issued for the last time on March 24th, and in June 
| of the same year (1906) the printing plant was dispersed by public 
| auction. The copyright in the title of the paper was retained, it 
is understood, but this was in fact the end of the paper founded 
| by William Collins nearly half a century before. 
| Note may be made of the fact that in the last months of Mr. 
| Bottomley’s ownership he issued the Bradford-on-Avon Observer, 


| 


64 Wiltshire Newspapers—Past and Present, 


and District Intelligencer, which was stated to be published at 6, 


Silver Street, Bradford-on-Avon. A comparison of this with the — 


Wiltshire Chronicle showed that it was a localized edition of the 


latter. It does not, therefore, require further description. Of © 


course it did not survive the Chronicle. 

After an interval of nearly four years another paper was printed 
and published in Trowbridge. This was Zhe West Walis Post— 
“Printed and published by George Samuel Rose for the West 
Wilts Post Co., Ltd., 66, Fore Street, Trowbridge, and Church 


Street, Westbury, Wilts.” The price was a half-penny. It was’ 


an eight-page paper; six columns on a page; columns 18 inches 

long by 24+ inches wide. The object of the venture was stated in 

an introduction written by the Rt. Hon. W. H. Long, M.P. ae 
his name), of which the opening passages were :— 

“Up to now the people of West Wilts, with whom will shortly rest 

the responsible task of selecting a representative for Parliament, have 


been labouring under a serious disadvantage. Knowledge of both sides 
of a cause is always necessary before a just decision can be arrived at, 


and for some years the electors of this division have had no opportunity — 


of studying fairly and squarely, in their local paper, both points of view 
of the great political questions of the day. Only one point of view has 
been brought before them—by a paper which did not pretend to be 
impartial, and which was advisedly written with a strong partizan 


colour. Without desiring to impugn the character and conduct of the | 


Radical organ to which I refer, it must be obvious to all fair-minded 


and thoughtful men that this was a state of affairs which, in the public | 
interest, should not be allowed to continue ; and it is with the object | 


of giving the people of West Wilts the opportunity of studying and 


understanding National and Imperial questions from the Unionist | 


point of view that this paper is being started.” 


The West Walts Post, therefore, was frankly started for party | 
purposes, and the pending political event referred to by Mr. Long | 
was the general election which took place in January, 1910, when | 
the Unionist candidate was Mr. Robert Long. Mr. Long was not | 
successful ; but the Post was continued, and at the general election | 
at the end of the same year it championed the cause of Mr. | 
Llewellin Palmer, who also was unsuccessful. A by-election for | 
West Wilts came in February, 1911, when Sir John Fuller, the 
sitting member, received a Colonial Governorship, and this led to | 


By J, J. Slade. 65 


-a further development of party journalism. The Bath Daily 
Chronicle, an evening newspaper, was used to forward Mr. Palmer's 
renewed candidature, and a month or two after the electoral pro- 
! ceedings were concluded on April Ist, 1911, the West Wilts Post 
| appeared as “Printed for the proprietor by the Bath Daily and 
| Weekly Chronicle and Argus, Limited, and published by George 
) Samuel Rose at the offices, 66, Fore Street, Trowbridge.” This 
i issue was considerably larger than the old Post, being in fact the 
Bath paper “localized,” but it need not be further described, as it 
| was but the link between the old Post and a new newspaper—7he 
Wiltshire News, 

im On May 5th, 1911, Zhe Wiltshire News made its first appearance, 
jand that is the latest chapter in the history of the Conservative — 
journalism of Trowbridge, which this outline will show has been 
“party” rather than “personal” journalism since the retirement . 
‘of Mr. William Collins in 1890, There were, in the years imme- 
diately succeeding, fluctuations in the size of The Wiltshire News, 
| chiefly in the number of its pages, which were sometimes eight, 
|Sometimes ten, sometimes twelve; there was less rigidness in this 
| respect than in the older newspapers, which were all, in the non- 
| political sense, conservative. The latest change of size, however, 
was a change of form and appearance too radical to be dismissed 
with the rest. The paper approximated more to the style of some 
old Miscellanies, or the earlier illustrated weeklies. The page was 
‘reduced to four columns, 17 inches long by 22 inches wide; the 


number of pages was increased, and at present they number sixteen. 


There is marked contrast between this, the newest style of Wiltshire 
weekly, and the big broadsheets which were the vogue half-a-century 
ago. The machinery at that time was not well adapted for printing 
| wore than four pages, and extra space was obtained as required by 
| lengthening and widening the pages. ; 

| The earlier fluctuations in size of the Wiltshire News were in 
part the result of extensions of the sphere of operations to the 
“other Parliamentary divisions of the county, notably North Wilts 
rand South Wilts, there being offices at Swindon and Salisbury. 
‘The development in South Wilts involved the absorption—that is,

the disappearance—of the old Wilts County Mirror (which will be’ | 
dealt with in a future article), As that journal itself had acquired a’ 
number of copyrights of vanished newspapers the full title as it | 


runs to-day is as follows:—Wiltshire News, with which is incor-’ 
porated the West Wilts Post, The Wiltshire County Mirror and 
Express, The Salisbury and Wiltshire Herald, The South Wilts ; 
Kapress, The Salisbury Advertiser, 1853, and The Salisbury Standard, 
1869.” The Salisbury offices were afterwards closed, and the News ! 
is now “Printed and published by Frederick Charles Barber, on — 
behalf of the proprietors, the Wessex Associated Press, Limited, at. 
their offices, 33, Westgate Street, in the City of Bath, and published | 
also by him at 8, Regent Street, Swindon, and 65, Fore Street, | 
Trowbridge.” These Wiltshire offices are those which were es-_ 
tablished originally; the Salisbury offices were, of course, the | 
Mirror offices, on the Canal. A change in the title of the Company ) 
will be noticed; it was made soon after the Wiltshire side of the | 
business was added to the Bath side, when new capital was raised 
among the Conservative Party in. West Wilts, and Mr..G. Lig 
Palmer joined the board of directors, | 


THE WILTS AND GLOUCESTERSHIRE STANDARD. 


The Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard was established at | 
Malmesbury on the 28th of January, 1837, six months before the 
death of William IV., taking as its motto “ Pro Rege, Lege, Arist 
et Focis,” and although the accession of a queen to the throne might | 
have suggested the alteration of “ Rege” into the feminine form, | 
the original phrase was preserved and became once more literally | 
applicable with the succession of King Edward VIL, though hot | 
till after an interval of sixty-four years, Of the early history of | | 
the paper—that is to say, its first fourteen or fifteen years—it is | 
not possible for 'the present writer to give very many details bea 
yond those derived from the files in the British Museum, the only | 
file locally available being that now kept in the office at Cirencester, | 
which was started in 1851 by the late Mr. George Henry Harmer, | 
when his connection with the paper began—a connection that| 


By J.J. Slade, 67 


continued for the long period of sixty years, till his death on Jan. 
16th, 1911, during two-thirds of which time he was responsible 
for the conduct of the journal. He was afterwards joined by other 
members of his family, in whose hands it now is. 

The Standard was founded in the Conservative interest, more 
especially to serve the northern portion of Wiltshire and the 
adjoining portion of Gloucestershire, several leading Wiltshire 
gentlemen being concerned in the project, of whom Mr. Joseph 
Neeld, of Grittleton, M.P. for Chippenham, was the chief. The 
acting spirit in the undertaking was “an Attorney from London.” 
Who exactly this gentleman was cannot now be stated with cer- 

tainty, though the name of “ Hindmarsh” is an ancient tradition 
in the office. | 

As the law with regard to the registration of owners of news- 
papers was in a chaotic state previous to the passing of the News- 
paper Libel and Registration Act of 1881, it is not possible to give 
the name or names of the early proprietor or proprietors. The 
‘imprint of the first number, January 28th, 1837, is as follows :— 
“Malmesbury.—Printed for the proprietors by Matthew Barnett, 
‘residing in the High Street in the parish of St. Paul in the town 
cof Malmesbury, and published by him at the Standard Printing 
Works, situate in Oxford Street in the said town, Saturday, 28th 
January, 1837.” 

The paper was at the outset a four-page production, having five 
‘columns to the page, and the first number contained a declaration 
of policy addressed “To the nobility, gentry, clergy, and inhabitants 
generally of the counties of Wilts and Gloucester.” The manage- 


RTL 


ment promised “a peculiarly vigilant attention to those agricultural, 
manufacturing, and commercial interests which characterise these 
counties,” and as regards the political course intended to be pursued, 
it was founded on the deliberately adopted motto already mentioned: 
i Pro Rege, Lege, Aris et Focis”—“ For the King, the Law, our 
" Altars and our Hearths.” That motto, it was asserted (in the 
| “full- bodied rhetoric of the period) 


i “Contains the prime elements, the very pith and marrow of genuine 
4 Conservatism, which we know to be the only solid basis on which our

glorious Constitution can stand, and the real liberties of the People be — 
supported consistently with due reverence for the law, the preservation 
of the unimpaired establishments of the Church, the maintenance of 
the just prerogatives of the Monarch, and of the privileges of the 
Hereditary Aristocracy of the land.” 


It is probable that the establishment of the Walis and Gloucester- 
shire Standard was in a small and local way one of the symptoms 


of the reaction which swept over the country asa result of the 
violence and inexperience of some of the members of the Reformed 
Parliament which met in 1833. This reaction was marked by Sir 
Robert Peel’s short-lived ministry, but in 1835 a general election 
had replaced Lord Melbourne and the Whigs in office, and the ©

“Country Party’? were up in arms. In its address to its readers 
the new paper reminded “the intelligent gentry and the sturdy | 
yeomen of Wilts and Gloucestershire” that they were 
“ Living in extraordinary times,” when “even the very measures of | 
Ministers of the Crown themselves are founded on principles tending | 

to subvert and bring into contempt that glorious edifice of political 
wisdom ” (the British Constitution). F 
The address proceeded to ask “ the men of Wilts and Gloucester ” | 
whether they could : 
“allow the fierce spirit of licentious Democracy, urged on by the | 
double-headed monster of Popery and Infidelity, to acquire such fearful | 
ascendancy as to threaten every point of the social edifice with de- 
struction and finally rage uncontrolled through the realm.” 


Having answered this question with an emphatic “ No, they will | 


fez 


not!” the address went on to hail “the rapid increase of the| 
Conservative Press” as one of the means whereby this “No”, 
might be converted into action, the new paper being proclaimed | 
as one of the means to this end :— | 
“Strange as it may at first sight appear, the large and important; 
district of North-West Wilts and Eastern Gloucestershire is utterly; 
unrepresented in the Press, and is without an organ to speak its senti-| 
ments, to direct its energies, and confront its foes.” 
The inhabitants of this “important district, containing the| 
richest parts of these highly intelligent, wealthy, and agricultural 
counties, studded with the seats of the landed gentry, with the 


farmhouses of as respectable a yeomanry as any part of England, 


By J. J. Slade. 69 


ean boast, and the smiling cottages of a contented and honest 
peasantry, truly as the poet says, ‘their country’s pride, ” were 
accordingly adjured to “flock around the Standard of Conservatism 
which we now unfurl to the winds.” 

With its issue of July 4th, 1840, the Wilts and} Gloucestershire 
Standard was enlarged to six instead of five columns on a page, 
) the columns being 25 inches in Jength, and its place of publication 
was Cirencester instead of Malmesbury, the latter town evidently 
not affording sufficient scope to the new venture. ‘The leading 
: article in which these changes were announced declared unfaltering 
| allegiance to the principles previously professed and expounded, 
and in explanation and justification of the removal it was pointed 
out that “the town of Cirencester is both better situated for the 
convenience of our subscribers,” and “from the arrangement of 
| its posts we shall be enabled to receive our papers and letters at 
| an hour more suitable for publication.” The printer of the paper 
| at this time was Daniel Bretherton, and he continued to be the 
| publisher for some few years after the removal to Cirencester, 


being described in the imprint as “residing at Cecily Hill,” in that 
| town, the printing office being situated in the Market Place. The 
} imprint was followed by a list of country and London newsagents 
| who supplied the paper, from which it would seem that the Standard 


} had some sort of circulation in London, for one of the ageuts was 
| the late Mr. C. Mitchell, of 12, Red Lion Court, Fleet Street, the 
\ founder of “ Mitchell’s Newspaper Press Directory,” who after- 
wards enlarged that shop by taking the next one, No. 13, where 
|the firm continued as Mitchell & Co, until it removed to its 


present extensive building at Snow Hill, Holborn Viaduct. The 


imprint of the last number issued at Malmesbury advanced the 
Jelaim that it was “the only newspaper published within a cirewm- 
| ference of one hundred and twenty miles.” 

For some time alter its transference to Cirencester the Standard 
‘| was published at the house in Dyer-street now occupied by Dr. 
‘Mackinnon, which was the residence of the proprietor. Later it 
} was removed to Castle Street, to the premises now occupied by the 


\Cirencester Conservative Benefit Society’s offices, where the

publisher, J ohn Cooksey (who succeeded Daniel Bretherton), resided, | 
the proprietor being Mr. Henry Elderton, who lived at the Cran- 
hams. The price of the paper was five pence. In spite of the 
trausference to the larger and busier town of Cirencester, and 
although there was at that time no other paper published nearer 
than Devizes on the Wiltshire side, or than Gloucester and Chel- 
tenham on the Gloucestershire side, the Standard does not appear 
to have attained any very great measure of prosperity in those 
early days, and stories are handed down that the publisher, 
Cooksey, had to make occasional journeys to Gloucester Gaol as 
hostage for the payment of the Advertisement Tax and Paper 
Duty, which, though easy of imposition, were difficult of realisation 
by the struggling press of those times. 

In 1851 the Standard was confronted by further difficulties in 
the shape of a sturdy local competitor, the Cirencester and Swindon 
Hapress and North Wiltshire and Cotswold Advertiser, printed and 
published by Thomas Philip Baily and George Jones at their 
printing office, Market Place, Cirencester. The first number of 
the Cirencester and Swindon Hxpress was brought out on May 24th, 
1851, the prospectus being written by the Rev. C. H. Newmarch, 
who was afterwards for many years a frequent and valued con- 
tributor. The paper consisted of eight pages of “Times” size, six 
of the pages being printed in London, and filled with general 
reading and intelligence, the first and last pages being devoted to 
advertisements and local news. The price of the new paper was 
four pence, as announced in the following extract from the pro- 
spectus :— ; 


‘Feeling that no relief is at present to be looked for from the | 


Government in respect of the ‘Taxes on Knowledge,’ the Proprietors ~ 
of the Cirencester and Swindon Express have determined to take a 
step in advance, and so far as they are concerned, virtually to repeal | 
both the stamp upon the paper and the duty on advertisements by not 
charging either to their subscribers. The price of the paper will there- 
fore be’four pence, instead of five (the usual price), and the scale for 


advertisements will be reduced by the amount of the Government duty.” 


The same document announced that the paper would “not ex- 
press any political opinions,” and this policy of neutrality was 
continued for some years. 


By J. J. Slade. 71 


In less than nine months the Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard 
surrendered to its vigorous young rival. On January 24th, 1852, 
the Cirencester and Swindon Hxpress came out with the following 
amnouncement :— 


“The Proprietors of the Cirencester and Swindon Hapress beg to 
announce to their Subscribers, Advertisers, and the Public that they 
| have arranged with the Proprietors of the Wilts and Gloucestershire 
| Standard for the purchase of their newspaper, and that henceforth the 

paper will be conducted and published under the title of the Wilts and 

Gloucestershire Standard and Cvrencester and Swindon EHupress, price 

fourpence-halfpenny.” 

_ On the same date the old management of the Wilts and Glouces- 
tershire Standard issued its farewell address, claiming credit for 
having so conducted the paper that during the preceding fifteen 
years it had been “counted as anu unbending advocate of those 
great principles which form the basis of the Coustitution,” a stern 
opponent of “Infidelity and Popery,” and so on, but pathetically 
announcing that “the future will be worked out by other hands ” :— 
| “Start not, gentle reader! The Standard is about to undergo a 
transmogrification, to be united by an irrevocable bond to the Curencester 
and Swindon Kupress.” 

The reasons which had led to this “ transmogrification ” were 
passed over with discreet silence, and the belief was dutifully ex- 
‘pressed that under the new title and new proprietors “it wi 
pressed tl der tt title and propriet b will 
continue to meet in its new form the same support which has been 
accorded to us during so many years.” 

_ The price for the amalgamated paper, fourpence-half-penny, was 
fixed by way of “ splitting the difference” between the Standard’s 
five pence and the Hxpress’s four pence. On October Ist, 1853, 
however, the price was raised to five pence, On August 27th,

his interest in the paper, which was henceforth carried on by his 


1853, the imprint shows that Mr. Thomas Philip Baily relinquished 


former partner, Mr. George Jones, a man of much ability, who 
added to his journalistic preoccupations the profession of an 
auctioneer and the duties of Town Surveyor to the Cirencester 
Town Improvement Commissioners, the old governing body of the 


itown,

The repealing of the Advertisement Duty in 1853 gave an im- | 
petus to trade advertising, and the Standard soon found that its : 
two locally printed pages were insufficient for its needs. Ac- 
cordingly, an extra sheet was frequently published, in fact, the — 
issue of this supplement became an almost weekly feature towards | 
the end of 1853, and when the extra sheet was not published, a | 
page of local news and advertisements was set up in type at 
Cirencester and sent by rail to London to be included in the | 
printed sheets to be supplied for the coming issue. By the middle 
of 1854 the publication of the extra sheet had been discontinued, 
and four of the eight pages instead of two were occupied by ad- | 
vertisements and local news, the other four pages of general news 
being printed in London. It is probable that by this time the 
practice of sending pages of type to London to be included in the | 
current issue had been discontinued, for there is a story in the’ 
office that on one occasion the iron box in which the page of type : 
was enclosed for its journey was so vigorously bandled by the | 
railway employés that the contents had to be returned to the | 
office in a sack! Whether the editorial vocabulary was equal to 
dealing adequately with the situation is not recorded. But the | 
incident led first to the printing of four pages at home, and a little 
later all the eight pages were so printed. 


On July 7th, 1855, on the abolition of the compulsory newspaper | 
stamp, with the accompanying liberty to issue an unstamped | 
edition, such an edition was published at the price of four pence, | 
the stamped edition (for postage) being still five pence. On October | 
oth, 1861, the repeal of the Paper Duty led to a further reduction | 
to four pence stamped and three pence unstamped. 3 

From 1853 to 1869 Mr. George Jones was the publisher and | 
ostensible proprietor of the paper, the editorial and publishing | 
offices being for some time at his residence in Black Jack Street, | 
the printing offices being on the present premises in Dyer Street 
and Lewis Lane, whither the editorial and publishing offices were | 
afterwards transferred. ‘These premises were in pre-railway days 
occupied by the stables and warehouses of Tanner & Bayliss, pro-| 
prietors of the stage waggons plying between Cirencester and}

London. Among those connected with Mr. Jones in a proprietory 
interest in the paper was a Mr. Russell, who was an usher in the 
Rolls Court at Westiminster, but what connection he had with 
Cirencester is unknown. 

In July, 1869, Mr. Jones disposed of the Standard, and it ap- 
peared on July 17th of that year as “ Printed and published by 
George Henry Harmer,” who had been engaged upon ib, first as 
reporter, and afterwards charged with the active management, 
since 1851. Mr. William Flux was the new proprietor, The 
paper now abandoned the political neutrality imposed on it by the 
amalvamation of 1852, and once more became a frank and outspoken 
Conservative organ. 

For a few years about this time Richard Jefferies was a member 
of the Standard literary staff as chief reporter, residing at Swindon 
and journeying to other parts of the district as his duties required. 
Much of his journalistic work appears in the pages of the Standard, 
including a “ History of Cirencester,’ published week by week, 
Jefferies was still on the Standard staff when he wrote to the Zumes 
the letters entitled “The Wiltshire Labourer” which first brought 
him before a wider public. Much of Jefferies’ early literary work 
derived its inspiration and its local colouring from his journalistic 
experiences on the Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard. ‘This was 
especially the case in regard to his series of articies, afterwards 


published in book form, entitled “ Hodge and His Masters.” In this 


series the paper on “ Fleeceborough” is an almost exact description 


| of Cirencester and its institutions as they were in Jefferies’ day. 
| The meetings of the Chamber of Agriculture afforded material for 
another article, and in that entitled “The Country Newspaper” 
| he gave a faithful description of the Standard and its editorial 


offices, together with a pen portrait of his chief, Mr. George Henry 


| Harmer. 


On February 11th, 1882, the price was reduced to two pence, 
and October 16th, 1886, to one penny, Mr. G. H. Harmer about 


this time succeeding Mr. Flux as proprietor. On January 7th, 


1893—up to which date the original size of eight 7vmes sized pages 
of six columns each had been retained—the claims of advertisers 


7 Wiltshire Newspapers—Past and Present, 


and local news throughout a widened district necessitated an en-. 


largement of the paper to eight pages of seven longer columns per 
page, the columns measuring 234 inches of type. ‘The paper con~ 
tinued under individual proprietorship till 1902, when the business 
was transformed into a private family limited lability company, 


with the late Mr. G. H. Harmer as chairman and managing director. 


Mr. George Harmer died on January 16th, 1911, having given 
sixty out of the eighty years of his life in loyal and unwearied 
service to the paper with which he became associated as a youth, 
and having striven, with no small measure of success, to make it 
an instrument for promoting the best interests of the district. He 
was succeeded as chairman and editor by his nephew, Mr. W. 
Scotford Harmer, who had been associated from his boyhood with 
his uncle, and who is assisted by other members of the family. 

It remains to be added that among the effects of the war, and 
the consequent shortage and dearness of paper, have been the re- 


duction in size or the increase in price, or both, of most of the- 


newspapers in the country. ‘The size of the Wilts and Gloucester- 
shire Standard has temporarily been reduced from seven to six 
columns of 234 inches per page, and on March 10th, 1917, the 
price was raised to three-halfpence, followed by a further increase 
to two pence on May 19th, 1917.

Vicar of Seend, 1873—1916. Rural Dean of Potterne 1896—1916. 
Canon of Salisbury, 1899 until his death. He was the first Vicar of 
Seend, which had previously been a chapelry of Melksham. During 
his incumbency the Church was restored and brought to its present 
admirable condition. The churchyard, too, which probably occupies the 
finest position, is one of the most beautifully kept in the county. A 
man of much ability and great business capacity, Canon Thynne took a 
prominent part in diocesan matters, more especially as the secretary of 
the Queen Victoria Fund, which he had administered since its foun- 
dation ; indeed it largely owed its success to his efforts. As a Parish 
Priest he was held in high esteem at Seend. Few clergy were 
better known in the Diocese of Salisbury. His shrewd commonsense, 
united as it was with the saving gift of humour, made his advice and 
criticism of much weight in all sorts of meetings and committees. He 
married, 1869, Florence, d. of the Rev. Ed. Lane Sayer, Vicar of 
Pulloxhill, Beds, who with three sons and four daughters survives 


him.

This book comes nearer to being a Guide Book to the Ecclesiastical | 
and Monastic Architecture of the Middle Ages in Wilts than any other 
yet published. The author, indeed, has an eye for natural scenery and © 
descants on it with much sentiment on occasions, but his real love is _ 
for the Churches and the Monastic houses of the middle ages and the 
Church life which they stood for. For him the Reformation is the end 
of all things good in Wiltshire and in England. Puritans, Protestants, | 
Anglicans, with a very few exceptions, such as George Herbert, Richard | 
Hooker, the ‘‘ White 'King,” and Sir Christopher Wren, are to him | 
Anathema. As for the families who succeeded to the monasti¢— 
properties, the Seymours, the Thynnes, the Hungerfords, the Bayntons, | 
and the rest, no words that he can find are bad enough forthem. There | 
is only one class of men who are more degraded than they, to wit, the | 
restorers of Churches within the last sixty years. But if you allowa | 
certain discount for the somewhat vituperative expression of his pre- | 
ferences, you will find the book well written, pleasant to read, and | 
containing a great deal of information, most of it, as the author ac- | 
knowledges,taken from the pages of this M/agaztne,as to the architecture | 
of the majority of the old Churches of the county. Thisis the author's | 
strong point; his history, too, is generally adequate, but on many | 
subjects you will find nothing in his pages He has on the wholea | 
good chapter on Roman Wiltshire in which he dwells on the absence | 
of towns, and implies that Wiltshire was but sparsely populated im } 
Roman times, ignoring the evidence of a great agricultural population | 
on the downs as proved by the multitude of sites of “‘ British villages ” | 
of the Romano-British period. He cares nothing, however, for Pre- | 
historic antiquities, and with the exception of Stonehenge, Avebury, | 
and the two long barrows of Lugbury and W. Kennett, has nothing to | 
say about them, and assumes that the ordinary reader cares to know 


Recent Wiltshire Books, Pamphlets, Articles, ce. 85 


nothing of them. In his view they do not concern us. Wansdyke he 
mentions once only, incidentally. Of Geology, Botany, Natural History, 
there is not a word. Of the Industries, or Agriculture, of the county, 
past and present, a little, but not much, more. He concentrates 
on the Churches, from the 11th to the 15th century. The Saxons 
he hates, we are not really descended from them, we are Neo- 
lithic, he says, possibly rightly, but he goes on to deny that there 
ever was such a thing as Saxon art or Saxon building, and 
though he duly notes various Churches as “Saxon,” 7.e., Pre- 
Conqnest, he altogether refuses to believe that the Bradford Church 
was ever built in the 10th century or by Saxons at all. It was built 
by Normans, or rather by an international company of builders in the 
reign of Edward the Confessor, and Manningford Bruce and presumably 
other “Saxon” buildings are in like case. When he is pleased with a 
thing he uses superlative adjectives in its praise; thus of the effigy of 
William Longespee at Salisbury he writes: “ Nothing in the world is 
grander than ‘this exquisite statue, a masterpiece of the thirteenth 
century; it is worth any trouble to see.” Of Salisbury itself he has 
a great deal to say, he takes the city as the centre from which he explores 
the valleys of South Wilts on all sides, treating of almost all their 
Churches in considerable detail. Indeed he pays much more attention 
to the south than to the north of the county. It is as though when he 
had finished the south, he found that he had but scant space or time 
for the north, and had to hurry over it and treat it far more superficially. 
He is interesting on Salisbury Cathedral, and is bold enough to say 
what many have felt, that the very unity of design and rigid perfection 
of the building make it unsatisfying to us. “It is curious that to our 
eyes it is only saved from a certain dullness by the glory of the spire, 
a work not contemporary with the Church, nor even contemplated by 
its builder.” ‘“ We are aware of its lack of vitality, its mere size and 
complexity add only to its monotony, and were it not for the majestic 
and unifying beauty of the triumphant fourteenth century spire, the 
Cathedral would be so dull as to be disappointing because it would be 
merely an endless repetition without organic life.” “Fortunately the 
triumph of the spire hides what would otherwise be obvious aud makes 
of Salisbury the great Church it was meant to be.” He rightly condemns 
the oiling and polishing of the Purbeck marble shafts of the interior as 
“destroying the harmony of the delicious colour scheme, for the tone 
of the marble should be silver grey, and is now a dark and dirty brown 
in amazing contrast to the piers.” At Amesbury he enlarges at length 
on the Legends of Ambrosius and the Morte d’Arthur, Guinivere and 
Lancelot, and finds a basis of historical truth in the taking of the body 
of Guinivere by Lancelot to lay it with Arthur at Glastonbury, where 
the Archbishop of Canterbury was in a hermitage, in the fact of the 
capture of Old Sarum by the Saxons in 552, A.D., and the consequent 
imminent danger to the abbey of Amesbury, which had then to be 
deserted. ‘he legend marks the end of one of the three great Roman 
and British Christian shrines. 

As regards the passages from the north aisle to the chancel in 


86 


Recent Wiltshire Books, Pamphlets, Articles, &e. 


Hilmarton, Bremhill, and Great Somerford Churches, he believes 
that they were made in order to bear the sacrament from its own 
altar in the N. aisle to the high altar without passing through the 
nave, butif this was so, why are these passages existing in three almost 
adjoining Churches, found so rarely elsewhere in England ? - 
Though he compares the removal of the nave of the Leigh Church 
to a new site with the worst barbarities of the Germans at Rheims, the ~ 
book, written before the War, is in some points not up to date. Thus ~ 
the old House at Upper Upham has now for several years been incor- 
porated into a large new country house with gardens laid out around 
it; Yatesbury as the site of a great aerodrome can no longer be said to ~ 
be a lonely place; King John’s House at Tollard Royal ceased to bea 
museum on the death of Gen. Pitt Rivers; and the screen formerly in 
the S. aisle of Great Bedwyn Church was removed without a faculty 
by the Vicar some years ago and is now believed to be at Tottenham 
House. But a more serious matter is the evidence throughout the 
book of a quite curious haste and carelessness, and an apparent absence 
of correction of proofs by the author. Writing of Stockton Church and 
the very curious solid screen wall, he actually quotes a long passage 
describing the destruction of the chancel arch in 1854, which makes ~ 
absolute nonsense of his whole description, for the passage (in Walts — 
Arch. Mag.) refers not to Stockton at all, but to Yatesbury! Again, — 
under Stonehenge he quotes the well known passage from the “ Fools 
Bolt” where the ‘‘ Wander Witt of Wiltshire” was kicked out of doors 
in Rome and bidden to “ goe home and see Stonage.” And the writer | 
adds “I wish all such Atsopical cocks, as slight these admired stones © 
i might be handled or rather footed as he was.” This passage 
appears thus: “I wish that all such Episcopal cocks as slight these 
admired stones . . . might be handled or rather fooled as he was”! 
The description of the very remarkable font at Stanton Fitzwarren is | 
given under Purton, there being no mention of Stanton Fitzwarren 
Church at all. : |

curious statement is made: “The Town was stormed . . . by the | 
Royalists under Wilmot and John Franklyn the members for the town 
several of the Chief Townsmen and one thousand prisoners were sent to | 
Alford.” (Oxford). Inscriptions when quoted are sometimes incorrect, | 


as for instance those on the Polton Brass at Wanborough and the | |

appears as “ Sebertus de Cnut.” Little Hinton (instead of Wanborough) |

Charlton in Pewsey Vale he places ‘“ Charlton Park,’ where Dryden 
wrote the “‘Annus Mirabilis” in 1666. And the same statement is 
repeated (correctly) of Charlton, near Malmesbury. The effigies at 
Clyffe Pypard do not “lie by the chancel arch” and are of chalk and 
not wood, as stated here. The “ Rudge Cup” was not found at Cunetio, 
the lectern at Durnford is of the 17th and not of the 13th century.

Report of the Marlborough College Natural History 


Society for the year ending Christmas, 1916. 
No. 63. 


This report is chiefly taken up with the reports of sections containing 
as usual the evidence of good work done. Two plants new to the 
Maclborough list, Juncus obtuseflorus and Carex binervis, are 
reported by C. P. Hurst, and thirty-eight species of Diptera not 
hitherto recorded for Marlborough have been identified by T. W. 
Kirkpatrick. Mr. Hurst also prints the record of new species and 
varieties of Mollusca, which was printed more fully in the last number 
of Wilts Arch. Mag. Photographs of Wolfhall Barn, Wootton Bassett 
Town Hall, and Great Bedwyn Church (2) are reproduced. The most 
generally interesting item, however, is the paper by H. C. Brentnall on 
“Wansdyke in Savernake Forest.” Hoare and the six inch Ordnance 
Map show the line of the dyke as crossing the G. W. Railway north of 
Wernham (Hoare’s “ [vy’s”) Farm and running east to a point near 
New Buildings, short of the M. &S. W. J. Railway, where, says Hoare, it 
terminates abruptly. Mr. Brentnall, however, ‘‘ Found traces of it at 
the shallow cutting on the M. &S. W. J. Railway, about thirty yards 
south of the accommodation bridge which leads to New Buildings.

The line of it headed directly for the Forest, but east of the railway — 


even these faint traces faded out again. They were confirmed, however, 
by a more easily perceptible length which crosses the pasture opposite 
the end of Great Lodge Bottom. This stretch like a sort of ghost of 
Wansdyke, crosses the whole width of the pasture with a slight but 
highly characteristic bend, making for a point north of the second 
milestone on the Salisbury road. Just before it reaches the Forest 
paling, however, it ceases to be a ghost and becomes the south hedge- 
bank of the cottage garden, which borders the Forest at this point.” 
Inside the Forest boundary no trace of the dyke appears, but Mr. 
Brentnall assumes that it maintained its previous direction, skirting 
the northern edge of Great Lodge Bottom until it met, at right angles, 
the bold length of bank and ditch which crosses the bottom. He 
assumes that this is Wansdyke and that there was a right-angled turn 
to the south here. This existing length of ditch terminates abruptly 
at both ends. From this point for 14 miles no trace of the dyke appears, 


but Mr. Brentnall suggests that the embankment on which Great Lodge | 


Drive crosses Thornhill Bottom really covers the dyke. At the extreme 
southern corner of the open ground round the Eight Walks Plantation, 
the course of an old boundary bank running S.E. seems to preserve 


the line of the dyke. It touches the western corner of the next large | 
clearing at the point where Twelve O’Clock Drive is intersected by | 


another avenue running N.EK. and 8.W. A few yards west of this were 


unmistakable signs of a nearly obliterated bank crossing the more open | 
ground. A quarter of a mile further east at the south corner of the | 
second large clearing occurs the length of dyke shown on the Ordnance | 
Survey,which, however, extends further at either end than is shown on | 
the map. The ditch fades out very gradually on the east. Beyond | 
the Grand Avenue both bank and ditch become more marked fora | 
while, but are lost again under the paling of the copse until the road | 
leading northward: to the ‘“ Ruins” is’ crossed. Inside a young | 
plantation of larch and spruce the line of Wansdyke crosses the Roman | 
Road to Winchester. For about a furlong beyond the Roman Road, | 
the dyke runs strong, marked at intervals by fine old oaks amid the | 
young growth. It is lost before it leaves the plantation, however, and | 
has not been again identified between that point and the eastern edge | 


of the Forest where Hoare describes it as known to him.

in at £11,500, and the Judith and Holofernes by Mantegna, which was 
privately sold for a sum not specified, but said to be far in excess of 
the reserve, 

The objects which excited the greatest amount of interest, however, 
were the two suits of armour which stood in the hall of Wilton House. 
‘It may be questioned whether any suits of armour in the hands of 
other private owners can rival their combination of historic interest with 
beauty of design and craftsmanship; none perhaps can show an un- 
broken descent in the same house and in the same family for over 350 
years.” ‘They are thus described in the Catalogue :— 

“Lot 540. The armour of Anne de Montmorency, 1492—1567, Con- 
stable of France, worn by him when he was wounded and taken 
prisoner at the battle of St. Quentin, August 10, 1557, fought 
between the French under his own command and the Imperialists 
under the Duke of Savoy, the English Contingent of the Imperial 
army being led during the Campaign by William Herbert, 1501— 
1570, first Earl of Pembroke of the second creation. The armour 
has been preserved at Wilton House since 1557. Exhibited at the 
Tudor Exhibition, 1890. A Three Quarter Suit of large size and 
beautiful workmanship ; all the borders are turned over with roped 
edges, russet surface ; with bands and borders of gilded and deeply

engraved ornament. Though no armourer’s mark is visible on any ~ 
of the pieces, the suit is undoubtedly Italian work.” [A detailed ~ 
description follows of each piece of the suit, with a note that “there ~ 
never were any Greaves to this suit, as was often the case in those 
days with suits meant for campaigning.” | 
“Lot 541. The armour of Louis de Bourbon, Duc de Montpensier, ~ 
1513—82, taken prisoner with Anne de Montmorency at the battle ~ 
of St. Quentin, 1557. Exhibited at the Tudor Exhibition, 1890. ~ 
A Full Suit reaching to the ankles; russet surface, turned over ~ 
boldly roped edges; vertica] bands of gilded engraving. Though f 


no armourer’s mark is visible, the suit is certainly of Italian work- | 


manship.” [A full description of each piece of the suit follows. ] 
It was said in the newspapers that the late Duc d’ Aumale many 
years ago offered £30,000 for these two suits in the hope of restoring 
them to france. At the sale £14,500 was bid for the first and £10,500 


for the second—sums said in each case to be £500 under the reserved ~ 


price. The armour was therefore not sold. Illustrations of it appeared © 
in the Connoisseur, The Daly Mirror, July 12th, 1917, and elsewhere. © 
The Daily Telegraph, May 28rd, 1917, contained an article “ Pembroke 
armour, Wilton Treasures for Sale,” describing the armour, Wc. 

The Burlington Magazine, July,1917, contained an article by Charles — 
ffoulkes disputing the authenticity of the two suits of armour, and 
contending that both are of later date than the Battle of St. Quentin. ~ 
In reply the Eari of Pembroke printed a letter of protest in the ad- 
vertisement columns of the Morning Post, vigorously defending the | 
traditional pedigree of the suits and citing the opinions of Earl Dillon, | 
Mr. Starkie Gardiner, Baron de Cosson, and the late Duc D’Aumale. © 
From the ‘prices bid it was clear that the pedigree of the suits was not 


really doubted by the experts at the sale. The total for the four days’ 
sale (not including the Mantegna) was £52,819 8s. 6d. A curious jj 


circumstance attaches to the sheet of drawings by Albert Durer,which ; , 
sold for £1,000. The existence of this was unknown when the collection ~ 
was sent to Sotheby’s as it was covered by an engraving pasted over it, ( 
and was only discovered in the process of making the catalogue. A |

| §$mith, Elder, & Co, 15, Waterloo Place. 1917. 

Cloth. 8tin. x 54in. pp., including title, xi. + 374. Photo 
portraits of Lady Poore and Commander Richard Poore. 

The book is divided into four parts : ‘A Dean’s Daughter,” 1860—66; 

“A Bishop’s Daughter,” 1866 —85 ; (Lady Poore’s father was Dean of 

the Chapel Royal, Dublin, and afterwards Bishop of Limerick); ‘A 

Commander’s Wife,” 1885-90; “A Captain’s Wife,” 1890—1903. It 

is a very pleasantly.and amusingly written account of the earlier portion 

of the life of the authoress, from her childhood in Ireland upwards, 

and as a sailor’s wifein many lands. It is really the first volume of the 

reminiscences, of which the previously published “ Recollections of an 

Admiral’s Wife” form the second. The latter book has already given 

us the account of Sir Richard and Lady Poore’s life from his promotion 

to Rear Admiral in 1903 down to their present life at “ Winsley Corner.”

William Dunche, of Little Wittenham, Berks, was appointed Auditor 
of the Mint in 1546. Avebury Priory (by a curious slip here said to be 
in Berks) was granted to him in 1556. He settled at Little Wittenham 
near Wallingford, which he represented in Parliament, in 1562, died 
May 11th, 1597, and was buried in Little Wittenham Church. An 
abstract of his will is here printed, in which he speaks of ‘““my Manor 
of Eastropp, co. Wilts.”

‘‘MULTORUM MANIBUS GRANDE LEVATUR ONUS.’—Ovnid. 


No. CXXVIIL JUNE, 1918. Vor XD: 


DURRINGTON WALLS, or LONG WALLS. 
By P. FARRER. 


The owners are the War Department, Winchester College, 


Admiral Sir R. Poore, Bart., and the work is shown on the 
) Ordnance Survey 25 inch, sheets 54, 11, and 12. 


This earthwork lies about 1200 yards soutli-west of Durrington 


| Church and is intersected by the road from Amesbury to Devizes, 
as Colt Hoare shows, though further north this road only dates 
from the early nineteenth century. It is sited on the western 
slope of the valley of the River Avon reaching almost to the 
riverbank, is commanded by higher ground to the north-west and 
south, and is about half-way between the Packway and the present 
London Road. The Packway is now metalled, but till 1910 was 


only a track, if an important one, that crosses the river at Bulford 


(which village claimed in the early part of the seventeenth century 
to stand on the London Road), about 1500 yards above the earth- 


work. The present London Road follows pretty closely one of the 
oldest lines taken by traffic in the South of England, which can be 
traced from Marazion to Dover, though there is a divergence at 


| Amesbury. It seems probable that the old place of crossing is 


indicated by the name Ratfyn, if this may be translated “The 
White Ford,’ Rat being equivalent to Ret and fyn to Gwyn or 
Vin, about 1000 yards down stream from the Walls. 

The general shape of the work may be called circular, but there 


are straight lengths in the perimeter, which is incomplete as re- 


vards bank or scarp on the east side, where there is a gap of about 
VOL XL.—NO. CXXVIII. G 


96 Durrington Walls, or Long Walls. 


100 yards between the eastern and southern banks. ‘This gap was | 
originally filled by a ditch, an opening about 30 feet wide being 
left therein as an entrance just beyond the present end of the | 
eastern bank, ‘The hne of the ditch was clearly visible in the | 
young corn in April, 1917, and in August of the same year was 
equally plainly shown by the longer darker stubble; it follows an | 
easy curve and reaches the south scarp about 70 yards west of the | 
Amesbury Road. I think it continued westwards along the toe | 
of the scarp, for there is a well-defined depression here, but 16 is | 
hard to decide how much is ditch and how much the effect of | 
traffic, probably agricultural and modern. | 

The south scarp extends eastwards beyond the line of the eastern 
bank for about 30 yards and appears to be continued to the river | 
bank by a low ditched mound, but this must be modern, for the 
line is not true with that of the south scarp, while the bank would 
have obstructed the track along the riverside, shown by Colt Hoare 
in his map of the Amesbury section but now only traceable south ij 


of Durrington Walls in certain states of cultivation. The river 
bank here is steep and opposite the work the water level is normally | 
some 20 feet below the crest of the bank. 

The east side is no doubt a bank, formed by heaping up the spoil 
from a wide diteb on the inner or area side of the bank, which has id 
been much spread and degraded by cultivation, but the remaining | | 
portions of the perimeter are scarps varying much in height and | 
formed by digging out a portion of the area and depositing the |) 
spoil on the top of the outer slope of the excavation. As a guide } 
to the amount of the excavation I would suggest that a line be | } 
drawn some 60 feet away from and parallel to the present toe of | | 
the scarp. I am sure that the whole of the perimeter is artificial | 
and not partly natural as Colt Hoare suggests. The area is now, | 
1917, cultivated, as is the Jand to the east and north, and as was 
till recently the land to the west. That to the south appears to} 
have been cultivated for very many years. 

The only certain entrance is the 30 feet gap in the ditch already | , 
mentioned, but it seems possible that foot and perhaps pack traffic | ; 
entered and left at the north-west and south-west corners, where i} 
the scarps are low. |

The work for this locality is anomalous, for it may be described 
as formed not on but below the natural surface to a large extent, 
that 1s to say not by digging a ditch and heaping up the soil into 
a bank, but by excavating on three sides at least a triangular piece 
of ground and then spreading the soil outwards on the top of the 
outer slope of the excavation. The east bank, however, seems 
normally formed, though the ditch is on the area side. That the 

west scarp was constructed as I have stated is proved by the change 
of slope shown in Section C—D and by Section E—F, and I think 
‘ib is quite safe to assume that the other northern and southern 
sides were produced in the same way. The labour expended 
| must have been colossal, for a recent cutting in the toe of the 
| western scarp showed a height of about 6ft. 6in. of virgin 
chalk, while the ehange of slope, that certainly marks the ap- 
proximate line of the original surface, occurs about 8ft. above the 
present level of the area. I think it is probable that this has been 
lowered somewhat by continuous cultivation, and that the bank 
| may have been heightened by washings from the higher ground to 
the westward, but even so the amount of excavation is large and 
the very remarkable result has been obtained that the whole of 
the area is commanded from the perimeter, The marked advan tage 
of protection from the westerly winds that scourge this country 
‘results, but, on consideration of other sites, this advantage appears 


‘to have been neglected by our predecessors. It is of course the 
fact that many of the “villages” are so sited as to be somewhat 
sheltered by higher ground to the west, but there is nothing on 
the Plain analogous to Durrington Walls. The proximity to water 
is quite another matter, for there is no doubt that even in Roman 
times water was much more abundant on the surface of the Plain 
than is now the case. One might suppose that the work was 
constructed in degenerate days when folk no longer welcomed the 
wild north-wester, were it not that Colt Hoare says, page 169 e¢ 
seq. vol. i. Ancient Wilts, that he picked up “a great deal of pottery 
within the area,” and later indicates his belief that the ware wag 
pre-Roman and early. ‘This statement has been questioned for no 
very obvious reason, since that great man is admittedly reliable as 
G 2

to facts, if our enquiries have shown that some of his deductions 
are wrong. Section E—F shows, I think, that the work is later 


than the Bronze Age, though further excavation may prove that 
it dates from the latter part of this era. Such finds of pottery as 
I have made have been, with one exception, medizval or modern, : 
but at the point marked Z on plan I found a small piece of Late 
Celtic pottery dug out of the scarp by a friendly rabbit. The : 
evidence is poor, but the fragment probably came from well within | 
the scarp and it appears probable that most of if not all the larger — 
Camps and Ditches on the Plain date from the Iron Age at earliest. | 

Whatever the date (suggestions have been made that the work is | 
medieval), it is difficult to offer adequate explanation of the form | 
taken and of the unusual expenditure of labour, profitless from | 
the point of view of defensibility ; and I put forward for criticism 
two suggestions based on assumptions and incline to think thas | 
the second may adumbrate the truth. | 

The first theory assumes that Stonehenge was a temple and that | 
the earthwork was constructed while worship took place there. If | 
Stonehenge were erected for religious purposes, there must have | | 
been a “college” of priests for the service, including men of the |)

believe that the windswept sites near the temple would have 


ment close to the stones, though it is possible that here, as else-| 
where, the turf covers all relics, Stonehenge is but 1$ miles away; 
from Durrington Walls and either branch of the so-called “ Vial \ 
SAcRA” might have connected the two places. I must admit that 
no trace of such a track remains, but a hundred odd years ago} 


Colt Hoare wrote of long-continued cultivation. The temple itselil 


must have been hypeethral and therefore uninhabitable, while the 
service must have required a large number of priests. This 
suggestion that.the “Walls” was the priests’ Close might explain] 
the indefensibility, for the sacredness and social power oi the! 
priestly caste would be their best protection. I may say that thd 
evidence as to the early date of Stonehenge appears to me rathel, . 


By P. Farrer. 99 


inadequate, and that the calculations of Sir N. Lockyer seem very 
unconvineing, so that the evidence provided by Section H—F 
presents to me no difficulty, the section showing as it does that it 
~is possible that Durrington Walls were made late in the Bronze 
' Ave. If, however, the date be Late Celtic, it appears possible that 
' here may have been a dwelling place of the mysterious Druids, 
_ whose inviolability again would account for the form of the work. 
The other suggestion is that here, close to the principal east and 
west route in the South of England, might well be found a large 
open air caravanserai. The fords must have been impassable for 
| days if not for weeks in times of flood, and a halting place for 
travellers and transport would have been needed. It is easy to 
i imagine that the inhabitants of Vespasian’s Camp would object 
i strongly to the continued presence of a number of strangers. Ido 
not know the line of the road well enongh to suggest other similar 
halting places, though at Balksbury, near Andover, at a day’s stage 
| or twelve miles distant, can be found points of resemblance, Here, 
| at any rate, travellers would have found modified shelter from the 
weather and an inexhaustible supply of water. The Jabour ex- 
| pended seems to preclude the possibility of this having been no 
more than a cattle kraal. 
_ To return to facts: the area enclosed ig about 35 acres and the 
soil is a fairly deep light loam. The outlook, except towards the 
| north-east and east, is much restricted, while Sidbury and Ves- 
| pasian’s Camp are the only large earthworks visible. The nearest 
barrow is a large disc barrow, not shown by the Survey but 
| perfectly clearly seen, though much degraded by cultivation, 
| which lies about 80 yards south of the earthwork. A little further 
‘south is the remarkable barrow, “like three barrows rising from 


one base but certainly a long barrow, mentioned by Colt Hoare, 
This, too, is rapidly losing shape from the effects of ploughing. 

_ The scarps do not appear to have been crowned by banks, for 
‘the only bank now visible is of the slightest and is probably a 
-modern product of cultivation. I found evidence in various holes 
dug for electric light poles that the ground beyond the western 
| Scarp had been disturbed, while Mr. W. H. Beswick, who was in 


100 Durrington Walls, or Long Walls. 


charge of the camp drainage and was most helpful and sympathetic, 
told me that for a distance of 40 yards westwards from the point 
where Section C—D was taken the surface was formed of made 
ground tapering from east to west. ‘The evidence given by E—F 
is complete and convincing and the history of this section may be | 
given at length. Mr. Beswick telephoned to say that, in digging | 
a trench, a skeleton had been found but that the workman, thinking | 
the skull was a basin, had put his pick through it. On proceeding | 
thither to investigate, I found that the pick had been put through | 
the skull most effectually, but that the fragments had been col- | 
lected, while on examination of the trench I found other human | 
bones, obviously arranged in non-natural relations and showing 
old fractures. The skull also appeared to have been broken before | 
the intelligent working man came along. I was unable to find all | 
the pieces but collected enough to join up and to show that 
it was a typical Bronze Age skull with very heavy lower jaw and : 
strong superciliary ridges, while the tibia showed the marked | 
points of muscular attachment that are generally found in skele- | 
tons of this age. | | 

Examination of the rest of the trench showed that the scarp had | 


been formed by cutting and filling, Absolute proof of the artificial | 
nature of the upper strata was given by the presence, at the west | 
end of the trench and on the original surface, of a layer of | 
charcoal, containing calcined bones, one at least human, and flints. | 
In the layer was a fragment of pottery pronounced by Mrs. | 
Cunnington and by Dr, Blackmore to be part of a Bronze Age | 
beaker. Hach face was reddish-brown, the outside ornamented | 


the quite normal depth of 6 inches of soil that rested on the un- | 
disturbed chalk. My two companions were men experienced in } 
excavation, who agreed that these were the original untouched sur- | 
face and subsoil. Above the chareoal, which reached a maximum 
of 4 inches in thickness, was spread a layer of chalk lumps averaging | 
about 3 inches either way, the thickness whereof diminished in |~ 


; By P. Farrer. 101 


proportion to the distance from the crest of the scarp, in other 
words tapered from east to west, but the vanishing point was not 
exposed. Above the lumps lay the present surface soil, here 1n- 
eluding the grass, about 15 inches deep and very pale, though it 

was under cultivation within the last fifteen years. ‘The depth 
| may have been increased by washings from the higher land to the 
| westward; the colour made us think that the soil must contain a 
very large proportion of broken down chalk. 

The charcoal layer was exposed for about 7 feet from east, where 
| it began, to west, where the end was not reached, and was visible 
on both sides of the soakpit, that is to say, for a width of about 
4 feet, but on neither side was the end exposed. Skull and bones 
/were well above the level of the charcoal and lay in the layer of 
chalk lumps. I[ should suppose that they had been reinterred 
after discovery duving the excavation of Durrington Walls; there 
certainly was no sign of disturbance in the overlying strata. 
| Parther excavation was most desirable but [ had not time, men, 
or authority to enable me to dig. The human bone showing traces 
of five suggests, perhaps, that here was the site of a funeral pyre, 
| though the meaning may be sinister. 

_ The presence of the pottery shows that Durrington Walls must 
have been constructed after the date when this was deposited, but 
whether only later in the Bronze Age or in the subsequent aves 
excavation alone can show. I[ cannot think it later than pre-Roman, 
and the fragment of Late Celtic pottery found seems to me to 
| snevest this period as the probable date, 

Leaving this anomalous work, I may say that there is a great 
| deal of Romano-British pottery visible about 100 yards south-west 
of the Walls, with many pits and trenches. This was evidently the 
| site of a considerable settlement and the pottery extends for some 
| distance southwards, to a point at least 450 yards from the 8S.W. 
corner of the work. 

| T also found four fragments of ware of the same period close to, 
and apparently duy by a rabbit from underneath the sarsen that 
lies about 350 yards from the earthwork. Presumably this is the 
| stone mentioned by Colt Hoare in Ancient. Wilts, Vol. L., p. 172, 


102 Durrington Walls, or Long Walls. 


but he uses the vavue phrase “above Durrington Walls.” From 
the pottery and from the pale and chalky nature of the soil thrown 
up I should judge that here was the site of an interment. Rabbits 
must have a reasonable depth of soft stuff for their workings, and 
it is very rare in this locality to find undisturbed chalk sufficiently 
friable to permit of rabbits burrowing therein, while still more 
rarely does enough soil overlie the chalk for rabbit buries. It has 
been suggested that this was a stone intended for Stonehenge, but 
dropped on the way, a ridiculous idea, for who would bring a stone 
about 6 feet x 5 feet x 3 feet 6 inches, weighing at least 5 tons, 
to within two miles of their destination and then leave it? Of 
course the architect in charge may have condemned the stone in 
transit, and the contractor simply dumped it where it was stopped. 
Doubtless the theory “lost in transit” may apply to the larger 
stone that lies in the river, about 1000 yards up stream from 
Durrington Walls, but it seems quite inapplicable to the stone 
under consideration or to that on Bulford Hill, Another ap- 
parently futile suggestion is that these stones were employed as 
pointers for the setting out of Stonehenge: trig: points so to speak : 
but I can assert that they would be useless for this purpose to the | 
modern surveyor, though it is possible that the ancient methods | 
employed crooked lines. Yet another suggestion is that these 
stones are remnants of the overlying beds, which is possible, for | 
there are sarsens on the plain, some above some under ground. I | 
think, however, that the fact that those now to be found ave much | 
smaller than the stones under discussion (the largest being barely | 
more than a third of the size and the average run about that of a | 
large pebble from the Pebble Ridge at Northam, North Devon), | 
coupled with the fact that nowhere can one find evidence of large | 
sarsens having existed in any numbers ; these two considerations, | 
I say, preclude the possibility of the stones being “natives.” Ina | | 
sarsen country everything that can be is made of sarsen, cottages, } 
paths, gateposts, &e., as Mr, Goddard has pointed out: whereas i 


Dip Ee Harner. 103 


abnormally large stones brought to their present positions for 
| some specific purpose, as, for instance, that of gravestones. 

| Altogether the earthwork and the vicinity are full of interest, 
and, when the visitor is satiated with antiquity, he can refresh his 
' mind with the problems presented by the detestable huts that now 
defile the down. As whitewash has now been lavishly applied 
perhaps the less said the better but we all know that the purpose 
of whitewash is to conceal dirt.

THE CHURCH OF 8S. MICHAEL, 
BRINKWORTH, WILTS. 
By C. E. Pontinea, F.S.A. 
[From Notes made in August, 1896.] 


\ 


The dedication of this Church to S. Michael is what one would 
expect in a Church so eminently placed—a land-mark to the 
country for many miles round. 

The Church shows great regularity both in plan and design, it 
consists of nave of five bays with north and south aisles, west 
tower and south porch, of old work, and a modern chancel; each 
aisle has a door and four three-light pointed windows exactly 
similar, in the side wall, the east and west ends being without 
windows, whilst the north and south arcades of the nave are alike 
both in form and detail, a very rare circumstance. This is ac- 
counted for in great measure by the nave, aisles, and porch having 
been (with the exception of parts at the east and west ends of the 
south aisle) entirely rebuilt at one time, during the first quarter | 
of the 15th century. The evidences of an older Church having | 
existed here are :— | 

(1) ‘he tower is earlier than the nave by, perhaps, 30 years, | 
and the nave is obviously built against it (this 1s seen more par- | 
ticularly on the north side where the rubble masonry of the aisle | 
is built over the wrought stone weathering of the buttress), (2) | 
There are parts of the earlier wall left at the west end of the south : 
aisle, where its height can be traced, and the low buttress here, | 
without plinth, is coeval with the wall. It is evident that the 
nave was widened southwards only when the arcades were built, | 
and this accounts for the 14th century arch of the tower not | 
being central with it. ‘The curious way in which the diagonal | 
buttress here is added to the south aisle is remarkable. (3) 
There are also parts of an earlier wall, with one jamb of a | 
window, at the east end of the south aisle, but altered in the 15th | 
century remodelling of the aisle. (4) A single-hght window and | 
priest’s doorway of 14th century date were re-used in the south | 
wall of the chancel (together with a two-light one of slightly later | 


— 


The Church of S. Michael, Brinkworth, Wilts, 195 


date), when it was rebuilt in 1889. (5) The east wall of the nave 
is evidently older than the aisles, for the parapets of the latter run 
up and die ont on to the earlier coping of the former. (6) The 
font, an octagonal one of stone, is of a distinct 14th century type. 

The tall proportions of its arch show that the tower was built 
against a lofty nave, which seems to point to an early date for the 
latter: and the builders of the present Church followed on the 
same lines; for the height of its walls—23ft. from floor to roof- 
plate—is unusual for the un-clerestoried nave of a Church of this 
S1Ze. 

To deseribe the Church more in detail:—The tower is of three 
stages in height, with diagonal buttresses at N.W. and 8.W. angles 
carried up for the height of the lower two stages; it has base 
mould and chamfered plinth and is surmounted by an embattled 
parapet. The lower stage has in the west wall a door with four- 
centred arch contained within a square head, with a three-light 
window over it. In the east wall is a very fine archway of two 
orders of cavetto, the inner dying on to the jamlis, and the outer 


carried down to the floor; whilst the north and south walls are 
blank with the exception of a rough stone “relieving” arch on the 
| outside, the use of which is not apparent. The middle stage has 


a small square-headed window on the south, north, and west sides. 


The upper stage has a two-light square-headed window in each 
face, with in addition, on the south side, a small single-lhght by its 


side, which appears to have been made when the bells were inserted, 


} as noticed below. 


The works of remodelling carried out early in the 15th century 


are characterised by great breadth and refinement; the windows 


of the aisles are large and of good detail, a bold buttress occurs 


between each pair of side windows, and the aisles have a good 
| external cornice and embattled parapet; a base mould is carried 
Yound the whole (with the exception of the older buttress at the 
| west end of the south aisle) at the level of that of the tower; and 


it appears to have been inserted in the pieces of older wall left at 


the ends of the south aisle. The nave arcades consist of lofty 


octagonal columns and semi-octagonal responds with moulded caps 


106 The Church of S. Michael, Brinkworth, Wilts. 


and bases, supporting pointed arches of two orders of the cavetto 
mould, with labels. The chancel arch spans the full width of the 
nave; it appears to have been inserted in the wall of an earlier 
chancel soon after the erection of the arcades. It has plain 
chamfers in lieu of hollows and these are carried down to the floor, 
the imposts having been cut away. 

The nave and both aisles retain roofs coeval with the walls: that 
of the nave is of a wagyon-head vault of nine bays with oak ribs 
springing from an embattled cornice with carved bosses at the 
intersections. ‘The easternmost bay (which came over the rood 
loft) appears to have been subdivided and the bosses of an inter- 
mediate rib still exist. The roof has two tie-beams—one at the 
west end and one over the second arch, and is covered with stone 
tiles. 

The aisles have roofs alike, of lean-to form, divided into twelve 
bays, with moulded priucipals, purlins, and‘ pole plates, having 
carved bosses at their intersections. The rafters are also moulded 
on the edge and are covered on the back by rough boarding, on 
which a covering of lead is laid (the date 1757 on that of the north 
aisle probably indicates a re-casting of the lead at that time). The 
wall plate has mouldings planted on. | 

The newel-stair to the rood-loft, at the north end of the 
north aisle, was constructed at the time of the rebuilding, and 
is not an after insertion, as is more frequently the case. A doorway 
gives access to this from the aisle and the exit doorway on to the 
loft is also into the aisle, so that the loft must have been earried 
through here. (See notes at the end.) 

A squint, giving a view of the high altar from the aisle, is formed 
through the staircase in a somewhat remarkable manner. There 
is a two-light window to light the access to the loft, opposite the 
upper door, but a subsequent lowering of the turret has mutilated 
this and the upper doorway is blocked up. 

The easternmost window in each aisle is recessed below ae sill, 
as though for a tomb near the side altar. | 

‘he porch is a large one with good outer archway and inner 
doorway (the latter four-centred), well moulded and with labels 


By C. EB. Ponting, F.S.A. 107 


the terminals of which are returned: there are diagonal buttresses 
at the angles and a gabled parapet. 

The Church was rich in frescoes in the 15th century, and several 
valuable traces still exist on the walls and columns, and are 
discernible through the whitewash. 

No means of access to the top of the tower (excepting, perhaps, 
a ladder) appears to have been provided originally, but in the 17th 
century a very interesting newel-stair of oak was erected inside, 
at the S.W. angle, leading to the middle stage. The pulpit is a 
good specimen of this Jacobean period, with sounding board, the 
back panel being flanked by heraldic supporters. ‘The panel at 
the back of the pulpit bears the inscription, “ Wo be vnto me if I 
preach not the Gospel Anno Domini 1630.” Also close to the | 
back panel, “JOHN BEALE GEFRI ‘ H © INLI CHVRCH * WARDINS.” 
There are also curious beast supporters to thebase of the pulpit itself. 
A large reading pew with a small clerk’s desk below (both of 
deal and of later date) complete the composition, The font cover 
is also of this time. | 

Early in the 18th century a fine oak gallery was erected across 
the westernmost bay of the nave, with staircase for access from 
the south aisle, and oak seats; this is exceedingly good work of 
the period, A three-light dormer window has been inserted in the 
nave roof to light the gallery. 

There is a peal of five fine bells in the tower. ‘The tower roof 
is dated 1766. 

TheChurch possesses two panels displaying royal arms of different 
dates; one on the tower side of the back of the gallery with 
monogram of the letters W. M. 1693.,and another on the nave side 
of G. R. 2nd. C. R. 1728. Both block the tower arch. 

There is a fine iron-bound oak chest in the south aisle. A 
chained copy of Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, bound in oak covered 
with leather, and bearing the inscription op the cover, “The gifte 
of Mr. Samuell Crispe of London, Salter, to the Church of Brink- 
worth,” was, some years ago, disinterred from this chest, carefully 
repaired, and again placed on view, on an oak desk against the wall. 

The altar is a beautiful one of oak with A.B. 1633 carved on the 
end.

SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES. 


The foregoing are taken from my report on the Chureh in 1896. 

The principal works carried out in the restoration of 1902—3 
are as follows :— 

The roof of the nave stripped and repaired and re-boarded, the 
plaster panels which covered the outer mouldings of the ceiling 
removed, and the roof strengthened by two additional tie beams, 
the badly-leaning south arcade set upright and, with the foundations 
of porch and parts of the aisle, underpinned. The aisle and tower 
roofs repaired, the former boarded, the lead of both re-east. The 
porch roof re-constructed on its original lines. The rood-loft stair 
raised to its original height and other stonework repaired. The 
old paving and ledger stones relaid on concrete. 

When the bells were hung in the tower a reckless disregard was 
shown for the structure; in order to make room for the swing of 
the bells the walls of the tower at the S.E. and N.E, angles were cut 
away to an alarming extent—in one place for two-thirds of their 
thickness—breaking through at one point, when the opportunity 
was taken to insert the small window above referred to. The bells 


have now been re-hung, in a new frame, and the walls reinstated 
to sound condition, 

The gallery has been repaired and re-seated, the space beneath 
enclosed by screens as a baptistery, and the 14th century font, from 
which the beer-tap, inserted in the east side, has been removed, set 
up on anew step. The two hatchments of royal arms have been 
repaired and fixed on the walls af the vestry under the tower. 
The pulpit has been cleared of its varnish and a new oak stair 
takes the place of the deal reading pew; the deal box pews have 
been replaced by oak benches. | 

Some points of interest were revealed in the course of the work : 
two sockets high up in the inner ring of the chancel arch, and plain 
marks and plugs on the wall above it, indicate the position in which 
the rood beam was fixed, and the length of the arms can be de- 
termined ; these sockets have been filled by a new beam and a simple 


cross erected on it. 


By C. H. Ponting, F'S.A, | 109 


In the underpinning of the south porch were found fragments of 
tabernacle work with colour and gilding, probably part of an altar 
piece; the stem and base of a small cross—early Norman or Saxon 
/—and an oak coffin cut out of a solid block; this latter was lying 
north and south at a depth of over 8 feet. 

Several fragments of stonework were found elsewhere, including 

| part of a Saxon shaft with cap, two pieces of an early-Norman font, 
with part of an oak bench end, 
/ An aumbry has been opened out near the east end of the north 
} wall of the aisle, also the fragment of a corbel for figure over the 
} south door. There is a stoup made from the base of a churchyard 
Cross. On the east face of the tower are traces of an earlier roof, 
| central with the present roof but not with the tower. 

The evidences of remains of wall paintings have been further ex- 
| tended and developed; on the eastern pillar of the south arcade can 
| be seen a triple canopy with three finials painted on the stone itself, 
in red, but the niche and the figure have disappeared ; there are also 
plug holes, one in the centre and two on either side as though for 
some attachment, On the second pillar, which is to the right of the 
‘south entrance, the figure of a bishop with crozier was first painted, 
and, at a considerably later date, the figure of a female saint, with 
'| blue nimbus (probably the Blessed Virgin Mary) was painted over 
it, forming a kind of palimpsest. On this arcade the hollows of 
the two orders are decorated with the chevron ornament, alternating 


in the various arches; a similar ornament appears on the tower 
arch.

The east wall of the nave was covered with a large painting 
avound the rood, the subject of which is not clear; the colouring 
on the jambs of the chancel arch follows the line of the cove of 

the loft. 

_ On the north wall is a fresco much damaged by a monument 
fixed over it, but it is probably coeval with the building of the 
uisle—apparently a seated figure with the left hand held out as if 
holding something not apparent; above this the head and shoulders 
_ pf an angel or other figure, Over this fresco was painted a panel 
of Klizabethan character, with festoons and foliage.

CUSTOMS OF THE MANOR OF PURTON (ir. 1597). 


Transcribed by Canon F. H. MANLEY. 


The manor of Purton was one of the earliest possessions of the 
Abbey of Malmesbury, being granted by Caedwealha, King of 
Wessex, to Aldhelm, as the ancient charter states, “for the foun- 
dation of his Abbey at Malmesbury,” A.D. 688. This charter was ~ 
confirmed by Edward the Confessor. The Domesday “ Piritone” — 
is included among the estates held by the Abbey, but no mention — 
is made of a mesne tenant. Early in the thirteenth century we 
find that, apart from a considerable amount of land in the parish 
which was under the immediate control of the Abbey, certain ~ 
portions were now held under the Abbey by the tenure of knight 
service, Robert Malreward owing service to the Abbot for his — 
estate of one eighth part of a Knight’s fee and Adam de Peritone 
for his three parts of a knight’s fee and also for another fourth part 
(Malm. Req., vol. i1., p. 389—90). The property of Adam? de Peritone © 
passed? by his daughters and coheirs to the families of Keynes, Wells — 


i Grandson of the first Adam de Periton, who died before 1219. The | 
Peritons were owners of large estates in various counties. Their great 
position was due to two marriages, one with the coheiress of Sandford, the | 
other with an heiress of Dumart, a family which had acquired considerable 
property in marriage from the great family of Baliol. From the first | 
marriage came to the Peritons the bailiwick of Braydon and lands in | 
Chelworth, Calcot and Oxford, from the second lands in Northumberland, 
Warwick, Northampton and Glamorgan. 1 

2 Whether it was equally divided is uncertain, but probably not. A | 
subsequent rearrangement of their interests in many counties was made | 
between the coheirs. The Paynell part was subdivided between Paynell’s 
coheirs, Lincolnshire people, of the name of Gaskrik and Pouger. ‘here | 
is a fragment of a Court Roll in existence of the “ manor of Purton Gaskrik.” | 
Gaskrik’s issue failed and Pouger succeeded. Pouger’s heir married | 
Suthill, Suthill’s coheirs married Normanvill and Constable. Normanvill’s | 
issue failed and Constable sold the manor of “ Purton Powchers” als Purton | 
Paynell piecemeal temp. Mary. The Keynes were unlucky. One was done | 
out of his estate by the Despencers. On their fall it was recovered. Then | 
the right heir was defrauded (see under “ Dodford” in Baker’s North- | 
amptonshire, Vol 1) of this and other manors and two ladies who} 
were not the lawful heirs got possession, one of them married Nicholas | 
Wotton. She died without issue and her sister married to Cressy, apparently | 
succeeded. Ultimately the Brydges must have bought this property. (See | 
Wilts N. & Q., vol.i., “ Annals of Purton.”) | 


Customs of the Manor of Purton (cir. 1597). 111 


and Paynel. Again through failure of male heirs the Keynes property 
: passed to the family of Wotton, while that of Paynel descended to 
the family of Poucher, and from them to the family of Constable. 
| These various properties seem all to have been called “ manors” 
| so that we find mention of the Manors of Purton Keynes, Purton 
| Pouchere, Purton Wotton, Purton Constable, &c. The principal 
' estate, however,‘ the Great Manor,” and the Rectory Manor 
| acquired by the Abbey in 1276—7, remained under the Abbey 
| directly, and at the dissolution these were yranted by the Crown 
| to “Edmunde Briges esquier! & Dorothy Braye,” & their heirs 
) 8th May, 1544. Another manor in Purton, that of Pevenhyll, 
| had its origin in the Malreward property, which came later to the 
| Walerand family, and then passed by descent through various 
families? to that of Essex early in the sixteenth century. We 
/ean thus trace five manors in Purton, (i.) the Great Manor, (ii.) 


1 family, who were lords of the manor of Pyrton, als. Puryton, 
‘owners of the “parsonadge of Pyrton,” lords of the manor of 
)) Pyrton Keynes als. Stoake*® &c., were joined by John Sadler, gent., 
lord of the manor of Pyrton Pevenhyll and the occupiers of the 
| “dismembered ” manor of Pyrton Powchers in agreeing to a general 
q | readjustment of their holdings. Among the deeds at Basset Down is 
"| aconfirmation of this settlement by Wm. Lord Chandos, Sir Wm, 
| Knollys, and Lady Dorothy, his wife, ratifying to the tenants, copy- 
1 holders, and farmers the exchanges made, dated 31st Jan., 1596-7. 


!Hdmund Brydges in 1557 succeeded his father as 2nd Lord Chandos and 
| died 1572, leaving two sons who each succeeded to the title, Giles on the 
| death of his father and William on the death of Giles in 1593. Dorothy 
Bray was daughter and co-heiress of Wm. Lord Bray. She married, secondly, 

| Sir Wm. Knolles (afterwards Earl of Banbury) and died 1605. 

* By the heiress of Walerand it came to Rogers and by the heiress of 
| Rogers to Essex temp. Hen. 7. By the heirs of Hssex it was sold directly 
| or otherwise to Sadler. 

3 [t is doubtful whether Purton Stoke is identical with Purton Keynes.

There is in the possession of Mrs. Story Maskelyne a draft with cor- | 
rections and alterations of an “ Answer” to a bill brought against 
Mr. Edmund Maskelyne some 36 years after this enclosure with 
reference to a field called “The Downe Plott.” This is in the writing 
of Mr. Edmund Maskelyne, and gives his views (though perhaps 
not in their final and authorized form) about the Manors of Purton 
at the time of the enclosure and their owners as follows :—(.) “ The : 
Right Honourable Wm. now Earle of Banbury and the Lady © 
Dorothy Chandos his then wyfe . . . were lawfully seised of 
some Estate of Inheritance . . . in the Mannor & Lordshypp — 
of Pyrton a/s, Puryton, in the Capytall measuadge or ffarme & | 
Rectory or p’sonadg of Pyrton als. Puryton & in dyvers Coppyholds | 
& Customary tenem’ts in the said pishe of Pyrton . . . for- | 
metrly parcel of the possessions of the late dissolved monastry of | 
Malmesbury . . . and then were & yet are holden by knights — 
svyce in capite. (il) They were also seised &c. in the Mannor |}

was seised &c. in the Manor or Capytall messuadg or ffarm of Pur-| 


ton Pevenhyll . . . holden in free & common Socadge tenure.”* | 


1In Mr. Nevill Maskelyne’s note book, also preserved at Basset Down, | 
under date 1638 is given a list of occupiers of holdings, 145 in all, apparently | 
for the whole parish, with annual value of each, under. the headings :— | 
Church End, Resterrope & peuven hill, West Marsh & Wyddiam, Stoake & | 
bentham, Perton Pouchers, Perton Wotton. It concludes thus :—“ The | 
particulers of great Perton and perton Kaynes is per ann. 242211. 10s. The} 
stint of beasts 489, yerling 20. The particulers of the Manour of Perton | 
Powchersis per ann. 238li. The stint of beasts 45, yerlings 5. The particulers | 
of the Manour of Perton Wotton is per ann. 242]i. The stint of beasts 48, | 
yerlings 1. The whole stint 583 beasts, 26 yerlings. The Demaynes of all} 
Perton is per ann. 2982li. Total beasts & yerlings 596.” Here the manor | 
of Pevenhill seems merged in the larger manors.

® In 10 Geo. IL. an Act of Parliament was passed to carry out en- 
| closures of commons in Purton (Wilts N. & Q., iv. 267—70). At that 


date George Pitt, of Strathfieldsea, was Lord of the Manors of 


reat Purton, Purton Keynes, and Purton Pouchers, while 


| Anthony, Harl of Shaftesbury, was impropriator of the rectory and 
/ owner of the great tithes and advowson. 
The original MS. of the “customes” printed below is also at 
Basset Down, and the writing is similar to that of the “confirma- 
tion,’ so that although undated it was probably written at the 
‘time when a new arrangement with regard to much of the land in 
! the parish was coming into existeuce. As a record of rules which 
| had been in force from time immemorial these customs may be 
‘compared with those for Bradford-on-Avon Manor, held by the 
| Abbey of Shaftesbury, printed in an earlier volume of thisdMagazine

1 No instance of the use of this word is given in Wright’s English Dialect | 
Dictionary, 1905, but “stead” occurs with the meaning especially in| 
Yorkshire of a “ farmhouse and buildings.” | 
2 Commonly at this date used for “ farm.” 

3“ Certain parcels of meadow called Steane Meade . . . ina place} 
called Vennys” are mentioned in the Ing. p.m. of Edmund Maskelyne, 1630,| 
and “6 acres of Steanemeade . . . in a place called Smithmeade” in} 


the Inq. p.m. of William Digges, 1641. Here the term would seem to have; 
to do with some right of the tenant to dig stone.

the time of Eliz. to the middle of the last century. (Wright’s Ang, Dialect 

_ Dict., 1905.) Sometimes it is used of a building, ¢.g., “a toft or roueless | 

tenement,” sometimes of a field or holding, eg., “all that roveless tenement | 

called Comptons containing 16 acres, &e.” ‘That it means a property in an |

PERAMBULATION OF PURTON, 1733. 
Transcribed by Mrs. T. Story MASKELYNE.' 


| «The following is a verbatim copy of the Perambulation of Purton, 
j the original of which is at Basset Down, and has been in the 
1 possession of the Maskelyne family ever since it was written in 
733, when in all likelihood Nevil Maskelyne, who sold the old 
| | family mansion of West Marsh, Purton, and went to live at Purton 
. | Down, made one of the party who perambulated the parish, 

| The old custom of perambulating the parish, or beating the 
j bounds, was of great importance in days before accurate maps were 
‘in the possession of parish authorities, and for want of keeping up 
| the old custom parish boundaries were often confused, as is the case 
[in more than one instance in the outlying parts of Wroughton. 

_ Rogation-tide, in May, was the time when these perambulations 
| took place, and the day was begun with prayer in the Church, as 
in the older Rogation services of pre-Reformation days, when God’s 


{ 
| 


blessing was asked on the crops and labour of the coming year. 


Amongst many interesting facts mentioned in the Purton 

Perambulation of 1733 I should like to call attention to the 
penny paid by Orchard, the miller, at his mill, to the minister of 
Purton, “which was an ancient custom.’ Orchards Mill or Elvers 
‘Mili was originally known as Ayldeford, and was as such mentioned 
on the boundary of Braden Forest in the time of Henry III. 
j From Wilts Notes and Queries, vol. L., p.435-8, we learn that this 
mill was the oldest mill in Purton, and that it existed long before 
| Abbot Wm. Colerne erected his mill, rather nearer his church 
land in Purton. 

Another interesting fact is to note the number of oaks which 
| marked important points in the parish boundary, where during the 
| perambulation a “Gospel was read and a cross made,” in the 
days of old. No fewer than five of the oaks were known by 
| distinguishing names :—G@reenhill Oak, Gospel Oak, Charnham Oak, 
Pin Oak, Jaques Oak, all stood at important places in the boundary, 


* The Society is indebted to Mrs. Story Maskelyne for the cost of the map 
aerating this paper. 


* 


i 


120 Perambulation of Purton, 1733. 


but these oaks were mostly dead and gone in 1733, and other trees 


were chosen to represent the spot where they once grew. 


The “Gospel Oak” here mentioned as having in 1733 “ formerly 
stood” on the boundary between the parishes of Purtou and 
Cricklade is mentioned (Wilts Arch. Mag., vi., 200) in a Survey 
taken in 1591, 33 Eliz. of “the woodes adionyninge unto the | 
Forest of Braidon” belonging to the Duchy of Lancaster, and a | 
paper by J. Y. Akerman on “The ancient Limits of the Forest of | 
Braden” (Archeologia, xxxvil., 304) is accompanied by a map, | 
from the 1 inch Ordnance Survey of 1828, in which “Gospel | 
Oak”+is placed about 3 mile N.W. of Red Lodge House, a few | 
hundred yards W. of the cross roads on the N. side of the road | 
leading towards Great Lodge (or, as it is called in the modern | 
Ordnance Map, Ravenhurst House Lodge). Mr. J. E. Ward, of ) 
Red Lodge (Wilts Notes and Querves, vill., 526, Sept., 1916) carries | 
the history of the tree back to the dth year of Khizabeth, when it — 
was mentioned in an indenture under the Duchy seal recited in 
an abstract of title now in Mr. Ward’s possession, dated 31 March | 
in that year, Gospel Oak Farm derived its name from the tree, 
In 1865 the tree bearing this name was cut down, and its stump | 
taken to Cricklade and placed on the Vicarage lawn. Here it | 
remained until 1913, when in consequence of the wide currency | 
given to Bishop G. Forrest Browne’s suggestion that it marked the | 
meeting-place of St. Augustine with the British Bishops in A.D. | 
603, an event which he contended took place near Malmesbury, 
and not as previous authors had assumed, at Aust, near the old | 
passage on the Severn, the stump became an object of interest and | 
was placed in St. Sampson’s Church for preservation.” The Bishop | 
set forth his theory in Some Results of the Battles of Deorham and | 
Wanborough, and enlarged upon it in a lecture given to the} 
Historical Association at Bristol, an abstract of which is printed} 
in the Bristol Diocesan Magazine, Feb., 1914, in which he suggests | 
either the Gospel Oak at the Cricklade—Purton. boundary, or the} 
“Oak Farm” at Down Ampney, two miles from Cricklade, as the} 


1 This however may refer to the farm and not to the tree itself.

_ site of the meeting. Meanwhile a pamphlet by Mr. J. Lee Osborn, 
|The Gospel Oak, Cricklade, St. Augustine's Meeting-place with the 
British Bishops, Cirencester, 1913, assumed that the Bishop's sug- 
' gestion was proved, and the legend that it was “St, Augustine’s 
‘ Oak” became attached to the relic. The tree was never so called, 
though some tradition of “early Christians having met under 
Bit’ is said to have attached to it. The evidence of the 
- Perambulation of 1733 here given however seems to suggest that 
it gained its name of “Gospel Oak” simply from the fact that it 
was one of the trees on the parish boundary under which a gospel 
| was read at the beating of the bounds. On the other hand it may 
‘be argued that as this tree is the only one amongst the several 
oaks mentioned which bears the title of “Gospel Oak,” this fact 
‘would seem to point to some special tradition attaching to this 
particular spot. In any case it is to be noticed that the original 
“Gospel Oak” had disappeared before 1733, so that the stump 
“now i in Cricklade Church cannot itself claim to be of the age which 
has sometimes been attributed to it. 

The matter is further complicated through the discovery by Canon 
IF. H. Manley of a map preserved in the Public Record Office, 


showing how the lands in Braden Forest awarded to the Crown 


‘by the Commissioners at the time of disafforesting were to be 
divided between the lessees of the Crown. In this map of date cir. 
1632, two “ Gospel Oaks” are marked, one near the site of the tree 
‘cut down in 1865 and another considerably to the west, near where 
the road from Purton Stoke turns tothe north.2 The fact that two 
trees are marked as “ Gospel Oaks” is a strong argument that the 
name merely meant a tree where a gospel was read at the parish 


‘perambulation. 

| The term “Langett” used several times in this perambulation 
- In a great ae places in the Map of Purton made in 1744 

jas “Langate,” or “ Landgate,” and is shown as a long narrow strip 
‘or s In one a, “Drive or Landgate ” is the expression used. 


It appears to mean the way by which a man gained access to his 
1 Jand.”

Little Somerford and Milbourne at the time of the disafforesting of | 
Braden, 1631, in lieu of the rights of feeding which they claimed in the | 
Forest. By an Enclosure Act of 1796 the land was divided up between the | 
owners of property in these parishes according to their rights of feeding.

WILTSHIRE NEWSPAPERS—PAST AND PRESENT. 
Ware Ite 
By J. J. SLADE. 


MARLBOROUGH JOURNAL (1771). 


Outside of Salisbury, which from its ecclesiastical and political 
importance held a unique position in the county, there was only 
one Wiltshire town which possessed an 18th century newspaper, 
so far as we have any record. It was Marlborough. Although 
Marlborough was no mean place at any time in the historical period, 
it might be thought that Devizes enterprise would have been at 
least equal to that of Marlborough, and that there we might expect 
to find the first. essay in newspaper publishing in North Wilts. 


The fact is, however, that while Devizes had no newspaper until 
| Simpson's Salisbury Gazette was removed thither in 1819, Marl- 
| borough had its paper in 1771. The fact that it could not be made 
_a financial success, and came to an end in rather over three years, 
| does not detract from the credit due to the effort; it suffered in 


good company. Like its Salisbury contemporary, it was styled 
“ Journal’”’—The Marlborough Journal. Fortunately there exists 
a practically complete file of the paper. Some forty years ago 
Mr. Stephen Neate, of Marlborough, acquired the volume at a sale 
of the effects of a successor to the publisher. He thought that it 
would have a suitable, also a safe, resting place in Marlborough 
College, and when Canon Bell was Master there he first lent and 
then presented it to the College library. The Rev, J. M. Lupton, 


| 
| College librarian, has inspected the file for the purposes of this 

article, and the Jowrnal is thus the witness to its own history, which 
i after this lapse of time could not otherwise be recovered. 


The first issue in the file is No. 2 of the series, published on 


Saturday, April 5th, 1771. The title is printed in the usual old 
| English type, and is flanked on the one side by the figure of 


it 


130 Wiltshire Newspapers—Past and Present. 


Britannia and on the other by the Borough Arms, each surrounded 
by a wreath of oak leaves, The imprint is as follows :— 


“ Marlborough, printed by J. Smith and E. Harold, 


«#* * Advertisements are taken in abt the Printing-Office in 
Marlborough; by T. Longman, bookseller, in Pater-noster 
tow, and at the Chapter Coffee House, in St. Paul’s Church- 
yard, London; E. Ward, Printer and Stationer, in Corn- 
Street, Bristol; Mr. Tennent, Bookseller, in Milsom Street, 
Bath; T. Borough, Bookseller, in Devizes; D. Stretch, 
Bookseller, in Calne; Mr. Simpson, in Chippenham; T. 
Smith, in Swindon; E. Pullen, in Cricklade; 8S. Rudder, 
and Mrs. Hill, in Cirencester; and by the men who. dis- 
tribute this Paper.” 


In No. 7 we have evidence that the publishers carried on other 
business besides that of newspaper proprietors, for the imprint is 
expanded as follows :— 


“Marlborough, printed by J. Smith and EH. Harold, of whom 
may be had all sorts of Books and Stationery Wares, as 
cheap as in London; and by whom Printing is executed in 
the most correct Manner, and on reasonable terms.” 


At the same time the London agents were added to, the London 
Coffee-house, Ludgate Hill, being named with the others. 

There is an editorial address in which the readers of the Journal | 
are promised early intelligence from London, the proprietors basing 
their anticipations of this on not only their.advantageous situation | 
(on the main road from London to Bristol), “ but likewise from an | 
express established for this purpose only between London and | 
Marlborough.” ‘They “solicit the assistance of men of genius for | 
essays and articles of a literary nature, and the correspondence of | 
men of business,” 

The paper consisted of four pages, with four columns to a page; | 
the size of the pages as bound is 17 inches by 112 inches, but in | 
the course of binding they were appreciably reduced, as the ab- I} 
breviated margins show—the columns occupy the full length and | a 


By J.J. Slade. one 


are 2? inches wide. The proprietors seem to have had “ after- 
thoughts” as to advertising the price. “Price Two-pence Half- 
penny” appears upon No. 3 (not upon No, 2), but it drops out on 
No. 53 (for March 28th, 1772) and does not re-appear. 

The contents of the paper resemble generally those of most 
newspapers of the time, “ Monday’s Post” provides about a column 
of various intelligence, English and foreign. Ireland takes about 
a quarter of acolumn; London Letter three-quarters of a column ; 
Wednesday’s Post the same; Friday’s Post, two columns (which 
shows that the proprietor tried to be as up-to-date as possible); 
another London Letter is half a column. Marlborough did not 
provide much news, or the publishers were not active reporters ; 
it was less than a column. Bath was then in its hey-day, and as 
sojourners in that city mostly passed through Marlborongh the 
editor recognized the local interest in them by publishing the 
“ Arrivals at Bath.” The remainder of the space is devoted to 
Original Poetry, Letters, Answers to Correspondents, advertise- 
ments of books, of patent medicines, and of houses to let, ete. 

A change in the proprietorship occurred in the summer of 1778. 

In the imprint on June 26th of that year (No. 118) Smith’s name 
drops out, leaving HK. Harold, who refers to the fact editorially, and 
| proposes “to devote one corner of his Paper to original Pieces, or 
' extracts from new and valuable Publications.” The new imprint 
| continues to the end, with occasional changes in the list of agents 
for taking advertisements. 
Unfortunately for the proprietor, these agents were not successful 
! im securing an advertisement revenue sufficiently remunerative to 
| pay the expenses of publication, and the Marlborough Journal (of 
| the 18th century) expired on Saturday, July 2nd, 1774 (its 171st 
| number) with the following laconic explanation :— 


“E.. Harold thanks the public for their patronage ; finds the expense 
of printing and circulation greater than the profit, and announces his 
intention of discontinuing its publication. In exchange, by arrange- 
ment with R. Cruttwell, printer of the Bath Chronicle, he proposes to 
send that paper instead to his present customers every Thursday.” 


| The announcement concludes with a commendation of the Bath 
| Chronicle.

MARLBOROUGH JOURNAL (1873). 

It was just about one hundred years later, at the end of June 
or beginning of July, 1873, that another Marlborough Journal was 
issued. Although it was published from the same premises and 
under the same (principal) title as the original, it cannot be de- — 
scribed as a re-issue; there was no continuity and of course the 
character of the two papers was entirely different. The full title 
of the later journal was the Marlborough Journal, Hungerford 
Gazette, Calne and Pewsey Herald, and General Advertiser for Wilts, 
Berks, and Hants. The borough arms were inset in the title. 
The imprint states:—“ Printed (by Gas and atmospheric Power) 
and published by Maskelyne and Co., at their General Printing — | 
Office, High Street, Marlborough, in the County of Wilts.” 

This was an 8-page paper, and six columns to the page, the 
columns measuring 19 inches in length by 22 inches in width. | 
Four pages were printed in London; the fowr pages printed in 
Marlborough contained a fair quantity of Marlborough news and | 
some from other Wiltshire towns and the near district of Berks, 
The price was one penny. ‘The politics were Liberal. (The 
politics of the original Journal it is difficult to determine.) 

The exact date when this Jowrnal expired cannot be stated. 
The business from which it emanated was that now carried on by 
Messrs. “ Lucy & Co.,” at No, 132, High Street (in those days Mr. 
William Wootten Lucy carried on business on the other or |) 
south side). Formerly it was “ Emberlin and Harold,” and was a | 
combination of chemistry, stationery, bookselling, and printing. [7 
About the “seventies” it passed into the hands of Mr, Maskelyne, |) 
and he was the first publisher of the new Journal, but it continued | f 
for a time under Maskelyne’s successor, John Lanchenick, who ‘ 


took over the business on Midsummer Day, 1875. Lanchenick |7 


was there until 1876 or 1877, and it was under him that the i 


paper was allowed to die, as his successor, Mr. Jarvis, certainly did | 


not publish it. The last issue on the British Museum files is dated | 
February 15th, 1877, so that, like its predecessor of the same name, | 


last century’s Journal did not exist longer than four years. - It was | | 


from Jarvis that Mr. Lucy took over the business, crossing the street | 
after the fire destroyed his and other premises on the south side.

MARLBOROUGH EXPRESS. 


Another Marlborough newspaper, was “ Zhe Marlborough and 
Hungerford Express.” This was started in 1861 by Mr, William 
Cane, who was with Emberlin and Harold and detached himself 
and set up a stationer’s shop and printing office of his own—that 
now represented by Mr. T. E. Leadley at No. 100, High Street. 
The Express was an eight-page paper of Liberal politics and of the 
character which was usual at that period. It was weekly in 
publication and, like the Journals which preceded and followed it, 
ran for three or four years. The last issue on the British Museum 
files is April 4th, 1863, 


THE MARLBOROUGH TIMES. 


The Marlborough Tvmes was founded by Mr. Charles Perkins, 
At that time there were two chief printing establishments in 
Marlborough, viz., those of Mr. William Wootten Lucy, on the 
south side of the High Street, and of Messrs. Emberlin & Harold, 
on the north side. (Mr. Lucy’s business was transferred to, and 
absorbed, Messrs. Emberlin & Harold’s at the time of the destructive 
fire on the south side.) It was from Messrs. Emberlin and Harold, 
that Mr. William Cane detached himself and set up the stationer’s 
shop and printing office, from which, as noted in other connection, 
he afterwards issued the Marlborough Express. Mr. Charles Perkins 
was chief of the printing staff in the other establishment, and he 
frequently urged Mr. Lucy to start a newspaper. Mr, Lucy did 
not feel equal to, or did not care to undertake, the enterprise, and 
by and bye Mr. Perkins left him and started the Marlborough 


| Times. 


The first number appeared on September 24th, 1859, with the 


title of Zhe Marlborough Times and Hungerford Weekly Advertiser, 


and it was described as “circulating iu Marlborough, Hungerford, 
Lambourn, Ramsbury, Froxfield, Avebury, Overton, Great and 
Little Bedwyn, Burbage, Collingbournes, Ogbournes, Pewsey and 
Swindon Vales, and the entire neighbourhood,” 

In his inaugural address, the Editor said the journal 


134 Wiltshire Newspapers—Past and Present. 


“will not insult its readers, or prevent its own fair fame and ultimate 
success, by publishing that scurrilous abuse which is a stumbling block 
to the promulgation of true morality. Articles of this character will 
at all times and at all risks be studiously and sternly forbidden to 
pollute its pages, and spread strife and disunion around. It will not 
contain angry and prejudiced ebullitions of party strife, but a faithful 
record of such occurrences in the town and neighbourhood or the more 
distant parts of the kingdom, as may deserve publicity or warn its 
readers. We will venture to promise that truth, fairness, and im- 
partiality shall characterise its pages, that the Marlborough Times will 
seek to uphold the claims of equity, right, justice, and honour in all 
their relations, whether in reference to the State, the family, or the 
individual, and aiming to have a place in the family and an influence 
in the whole town and neighbourhood, its tone shall be cheerful without 
levity, grave without moroseness, moral and religious without sec- 
tarianism or bigotry.” 


Although in this opening address there is no reference to party 
politics, as a matter of fact the paper gave support to the Con- — 


servative cause during the first twenty-six years of its existence. 
In 1885 it became neutral in polities. 


The publishing house of the paper was Waterloo House, in the / 


High Street, and there it has continued. The imprint of the paper 
has never had to be altered, except when the founder died and the 


property passed to his son. ~The date of issue is not embodied | 
in the imprint, being the only case of the kind in a Wiltshire- | 


printed newspaper. 


The title has undergone many, almost baffling changes, some of 
its forms lasting only a week or two. The list of places named (as 
part of the title heading) as places where the paper “ extensively 


99 


circulated 


On the 7th February following, however, it was back as the MZarl- | 
borough Times and Hungerford Weekly Advertiser, but after twelve | 


months of this form, on January 23rd, 1864, the Hungerford sub- 


title was again dropped. In these years progressive circulation 
was claimed: in March, 1861, the figure was put at 2850, which | 
“we believe to be unequalled by any paper in the county”; by | 
1862 it was stated to be upwards of 3000; in November, 1863, and 


was added to shortly by the inclusion of Aldbourne, | 
Calne, Devizes, Swindon, Woodborough, Wootton Bassett, Baydon, 
and East Garston, On the 20th December, 1862, this long list 
was omitted, and the paper became the Marlborouvgi Times merely, |

for a considerable time afterwards, until the feature was dropped 
altogether, the circulation was put at 4000, and at “upwards” of 
4000, “in Wilts and Berks,” then “in Wilts and Berks and Hants ” 
—the first reference to the county of Hants being on December 
16th, 1865. ; 

From November 18th, 1865, until April 22nd, 1871, this statement 
as to the number and area of circulation was made a feature of the 


title, but on the latter date it was abandoned in favour of the 
Marlborough Times and Wilts and Berks County Paper, the editorial 
explanation being :— 

“The Marlborough Times having for some years steadily progressed 
in its importance and circulation, the proprietor has yielded to the 


desire of many gentlemen to identify it by its title more closely to the 
counties of Wilts and Berks, throughout which it circulates very largely.” 


| On August 26th, 1905, there was added to the title heading the 
declaration that “This journal is the organ of the landowners and 


_agriculturists of Wilts, Berks, and Hants.” On February 18th, 
1910, the name became the Wilts and Berks County Paper and 
| Marlborough Times (the same component parts as before, but with 
| the positions reversed). On June 17th in the same year it became 
the Wilts and Berks County Paper and Marlborough, Newbury, 
| Hungerford, Andover, Pewsey, and Calne Times. ‘The statement 
| as to the paper being the organ of the landowning and agricultural 


classes continued through these variations, but it was dropped on 
July 2nd, 1910. In another month, or August, 1910, there was 
| another modification—to the Wilts, berks, and Hants County Paper 
and the Marlborough Times,—this and nothing else. 

| There has since then been a further change, and the name of the 
| paper in July, 1917, is as above with the supplement—* with which 
| as wncorporated the Andover Times.” The Andover Times was an 
| offshoot, an Andover edition which was printed at the Times Office, 
| Marlborough, but issued from an Andover publishing office for a 
comparatively short period, 

| The paper started with eight pages, and continued with that 
| number until war conditions compelled a reduction to six pages. 
| Like most other provincial weekly journals started about that time,

the sheets were sent from: London partly printed, the local news 
being printed locally ; this continued for many years. The earliest 
issues had five columns to a page, the columns being 184 inches 
by 24 inches. The first enlargement was on June 27th, 1868, when | 
the columns were increased in length to 204 inches and the number | 
on a page to six. This was stated to be due to “extensive and 
still increasing circulation.” On the 23rd August, 1873, the page : 
was made one of seven columns of 224 inches, which it was claimed 
made the paper larger than any (other) published in the county : 
and to be due to the journal’s “ unprecedented success.” At this size | 
ib remained until the war reduction, effected in several stages. | 
After being for some time a six-page paper, length and width of | 
columns as before, it now has four pages, the pages being smaller 
as well as fewer—the effect of restrictions on supphes of paper. 
The price of the Marlborough Times was always a penny until | 
early in 1918, when it became 14d.; in March it advanced to 2d. | 
Mr. Charles Perkins, founder of the paper, died on April 20th, — 
1899, when he was within a month of his 79th year. The property : 
passed by will to his son, Mr. Herbert George Perkins, by whom : 
it is still carried on. In the issue following Mr. Perkins’ death | 
the imprint still bore his name, and the revised imprint appeared 
on April 29th, 1899. | : 
Mr. Charles Perkins did not occupy public offices, but he was 
very loyal to Marlborough and zealous for its interests, this loyalty 
and zeal being testified to from various quarters at the time of his | 
death. 


THE SWINDON ADVERTISER, 


The Swindon Advertiser has made good its claim to the distinction } 
of being the oldest-established penny newspaper in Great Britain. | 
Its publication was quickly followed by that of others, one of } 
them after an interval of a few days, but many of these had only 
a brief existence; any penny newspapers which existed at an earlier | 
date had expired long before. Zhe Advertiser started as a monthly 
newspaper—not magazine—under these circumstances: In January, | 


—— t 


by J. J. Slade. 137 


1854, an action had been brought by the Excise authorities against 


| Bradbury & Evans, printers and publishers of Dickens’s “ House- 


| hold Words,” the complaint being that that publication included 
Pp S Pp 


“news” in its contents and its publishers had not paid the Stamp 


_ Duty, which had to be paid for every copy of a newspaper. The 


| action had this good effect—it made it clear that a newspaper was 
“not a “newspaper” in the eye of the law if it was not published 
' oftener than once in twenty-eight days. Mr. William Morris, the 


founder of the Swindon Advertiser, was a man of quick wit and 
prompt in action. “ Within a few days after I was made aware of 
this decision,” he wrote about 1885, “I determined on publishing 
| a monthly newspaper, devoted to the news of Swindon and neigh- 


5) 


bouring towns and villages.” The first number was dated Monday, 
February 6th, 1854, and its full title was The Swindon Advertiser 
and Monthly Record. It had four pages, with three columns on a 
page; the length of a column was 14 inches and its width 3 inches. 
The first two payes were taken up with advertisements; the other 
two were filled with news: it was editorially stated that want of 
room compelled the omission of not only several articles of interest 
but of a number of advertisements also; therefore, from a business 
point of view the venture had an encouraging start. The editorial 


introduction stated :— 


‘We think the character we would have our new periodical [it was 
no doubt with intent that “ periodical” was the word selected] assume 
and maintain, is pretty well indicated by the title we have given it. 
But. to prevent any misapprehension, we would state, that we shall 
endeavour to make our periodical the best advertising medium for the 
Professional Gentlemen, Tradesmen, and others, of Swindon, Wootton 
Bassett, Highworth, Cricklade, and the neighbourhood, requiring 
publicity given to their professional, trade, or business announcements.” 


The writer went on ingeniously to make it known that. his 
“Record” would consist of full and faithful “ Reports,” but these 
were to be confined to such as “do not partake of a Political, 
Party, or Personal character “—a limitation which was not main- 
tained in after years, certainly as regards political events. More 
than half of the two news pages was absorbed by a lecture given 
by George Dawson, M.A., of Birmingham, on Wellington and 
Napoleon; Brewin Grant’s lecture on Secularism, Atheism, and 
Christianity was promised for the next number. 


138 Wiltshire Newspapers—Past and Present. 


The monthly publication continued until June 4th, 1855, but | 
after the first issue there were eight pages instead of four. ‘The 
editorial notice as to the compulsory omission of advertisements in 
No. 1 was not misleading as to the popularity of the paper with 
the business community; for in No, 2 the advertisements again 
took half the. space—now twelve columns. The length and width 
of the columus were not altered. i 

The change from monthly to weekly issue came in 1855, when 
the stamp duty as such on newspapers was abolished (the impressed 
stamp was retained for postal purposes) and the obstacle to frequent | 
publication was removed. The weekly Advertiser was of four | 
pages, but the page was larger than the page of the eight-page 
monthly. There were six columns to a page, and the columns 
measured 18 inches in length by 24 inches in width. An enlarge-: | 
ment came in 1861, when the columns were lengthened. This 
development necessitated the provision of a larger machine for 
printing than had hitherto served the purpose. We do not record 
all the changes in mechanical processes which were made by the 
newspapers of Wiltshire, as every paper had to progress by much — 
the same stages, but in the case of the Swindon Advertiser there 
are reasons for mentioning this and other developments. The new | 
machine was a “Caxton,” the principle of which was that the | 
cylinder was sufficiently large to enable its revolution to be con- 
tinuous instead of alternate. The “ Caxton” was general in news- 
paper offices of the period, and though it has been long since 
superseded its principle of a continuously-revolving cylinder has 
been re-introduced in late types of machines, One result of this 
installation (and this is the reason for mentioning it) was that 
steam-power became desirable—though not essential, as hand- 
power might be used—to drive the machine, and this being a 
novelty and a mark of enterprise “Printed by Steam Power ” 
appeared under the title of the paper. The boiler was one which 
had been made by students in the Great Western Railway Works 
for driving a road vehicle; the engine was made by the Railway 
Company; and the water for the boiler was provided in primitive 
fashion. The Wroughton Road spring, which (at least, the trough 


by J. J, Slade. 139 


in the wall into which the water formerly ran) was removed a 
year or two ago, was then in use, and the water needed for the 
engine was fetched from the spring in pails. 

The paper continued with four pages until February, 1870, when, 


on the 21st of the month, it was enlarged to eight pages 


a bold 
step at that time. There were six columns to a page, the columns 


remaining of the length and width established at the time of the 
last previous enlargement—214 inches long, 24 inches wide. It 
was the intention to make the enlargement on the day of the month 
most nearly corresponding to that of the original issue, but the 
railway delayed the delivery of the new machinery—a two-feeder 
Wharfedale, the first of its kind in the county. 

On the 25th February, 1905, the last (to date) of the series of 
enlargements was made—to twelve pages, six columns to a page, 
the columns measuring 224 inches by 24 inches. A web machine 
—the first of its type in England—was installed at this latest 
enlargement, which coincided with the establishment of the daily 
edition of the paper—The Evening Swindon Advertiser. As with 
other newspapers, the exigencies of the war necessitated a reduction 
in size; at the time of writing (March, 1918) The Swindon 
Advertiser (weekly edition) has six pages, the same width as before 
but the length of columns slightly reduced. 

As to the title of the paper: originally The Swindon Advertiser 
and Monthly Record, when its publication became weekly it became 
The Swindon Advertiser, and North Wilts Chronicle. At the 
same time an illustration of a railway train, emblematic of the 
town of origin, was incorporated with the title. This continued 
until 1861, when a phoenix displaced the railway train ; this fabled 
bird was also an emblem, the occasion for its introduction being 
narrated below. When the enlargement to eight pages was made 
on February 21st, 1870, the title became Zhe Surndon Advertiser, 
Wilts, Berks, and Glo’ster Chronicle. So it is to-day, but a change 
in the “block” was made at the 1870 enlargement to that which 


_ now appears—an illustration of the front of the house in Victoria 
_ Street where the paper is printed and published. 


The original place of publication was at what is now No. 35, 


140 Wiltshire Newspapers—Past and Present. 


High Street (the houses have undergone changes in numbering). 
It continued there until April, 1857, when it was removed to 
No. 10 (old number), Victoria Street—the house which bears a 
tablet recording that it was once the residence of Richard Jefferies. 
(Mr. Morris had carried on business there before going to High 
Street.) The dwelling rooms of the house were first used for both 
type-setting and machining—not a unique circumstance in the : 
early days of provincial journalism; but, later, works or offices | 
were built on the garden ground at the rear, Mr. Morris being his 
own designer and builder. 

The founder of the paper, Mr. William Morris, was a man above : 
the average level of men; the founders of newspapers required to 
be above the average in those days, when the success of such an 
enterprise depended upon individual ability (business, literary, and _ 
even mechanical ability) and tenaciousness. He came from a 
family of Herefordshire farmers, but his father enlisted in the | 
army, and left it plus the rank of sergeant and minus an arm lost | 
in battle. He married a lady whose parents were the last to receive | 
the pension granted to the descendants of Sir Cloudesley Shovell, | 
Admiral of the Fleet, who lost his life in 1707. This Mr. Morris 
was well-educated, and on leaving the army he became a bookseller. 
William, his eldest son, went to a high school in Bath Road, and | 
early became associated with newspapers, having to collect the 
accounts of a news agency carried on by his father for a person | 
who forwarded the papers from London. He conducted the 
Advertiser fearlessly; he had a passion for removing abuses, and | 
was so outspoken that his newspaper career had stormy epi- 
sodes, It is said of him that “the foundation of the Advertiser | 
was the foundation of anything approaching a Liberal party m | 
Swindon, and Liberal principles were advocated by the editor- | 
proprietor to the day of his death.” His comments upon certain | 
proceedings at Coate in 1861, when an ox was roasted on the ice, | 
led to an attempt to burn his effigy in Old Swindon Market Square, | 
and it was in the next issue after this that the phoenix was defiantly \ 
embodied in the title of his paper. He bore the brunt of several | 

ibel actions and was threatened with more, but £50 represented | ~ 


by J. J. Slade. 141 


the “damages” cast against him, though of course he had to lose 
in costs even when the cases went in his favour. He took an active 
part in the public life of Swindon, of which he became the historian. 
Until he issued his “Swindon Fifty Years Ago” the town had 
practically no history such as other towns in the county possessed. 
The work retains its interest to the present and is an illustration 
of how a man who can “see” can make much out of what other 
men will pass without a thought. His interest in archeology was 
shown also in similar works on Wanborough and South Marston, 
and he issued some books based on his travels in Europe and 
North America. 

Mr. William Morris died in 1891, and since then 7’he Swindon 
Advertiser has been conducted—at first by three sons, then, on the 
death of Mr. W. C. Morris, by two sons, Mr. 8. P. Morris and Mr. 
F. A, Morris. Mr. W. C. Morris was somewhat of a sleeping 
partner, he being at that time Surveyor under the Old Swindon 
Board of Health. The editor since the founder’s death has been 
Mr. 8. P. Morris. Another of the sons, it may be noted, founded 
a paper in the Indian territory of the United States of America, 

The date of the establishment of The Evening Swindon Advertiser 
was January 31st, 1898, It is a four-page sheet, and now (March, 
1918) has the distinction of being the smallest newspaper pub- 
lished in Wiltshire. When Part I. of “ Wiltshire Newspapers, 
Past and Present,” was issued in the December (1917) Magazine the 
Wiltshire Telegraph (Devizes) was the smallest Wiltshire paper— 
four pages, with twenty columns 17 inches long. The Evening 
Swindon Advertiser, now, is four pages, with in all 17 columns of 
fifteen inches length; the odd column being placed on the inside in 
the space which ordinarily divides pages 2 and 3.

THE LAVINGTON MANUAL (MANUALE AD USUM 
SARUM) MS. XII, XIV, XV= Centuries: ! 


By Eustace F. BosaNnqueET. 


Some seven or eight years ago a small manuscript appeared in the 
London Sale Rooms catalogued as “An imperfect 15th Century | 
Missal.” It was bought by P. M. Barnard, M.A., the Antiquarian | 
Bookseller, and immediately from him by Mr. A. G. W. Murray, ~ 
Librarian of Trinity College, Cambridge, who recognised that the 
MS. was a Sarum Manual. For some years the book lay on bis | 
shelves, and it was not till 1916 that I was able to convince him © 
that it. would be more suitable if it jomed my small collection of 
books of the Sarum Use. | 

Since the MS. has been in my possession I have cage av onved Lo 
find out something of its history, and it has been examined by 
several experts, including Sir EH. Maunde Thompson, the Rev. Dr. | 
H. M. Bannister, and the Rev. Canon Christopher Wordsworth, | 


Le || 


and from their letters and notes I am able to give the following 
description :— 

The manuscript, as 1b remains to-day, is 64in, x 44in., by about | 
lin, thick, and consists of the upper cover, a fly-leaf of the 15th | 
century, fifty-nine leaves of the 14th century, six leaves of the 13th © 
century, and twelve leaves of the 15th century; several leaves of the | 
‘last gathering have been cut away and, probably, there was also one | 
more gathering which, together with the lower cover, is now lacking. | 
The upper cover is of oak covered with doeskin, and nailed on to the | 
upper side is a strap of red leather, which has a hole at the end where | 
some sort of fastening was fixed; which fitted into a corresponding | 
attachment on the lower and now missing cover; the leaves are } 
sewn on three twisted leather bands, which pass through holes in | 
the cover and are firmly punched into the under side, The 
binding dates from the end of the 15th century, when the Ms. in | 
its present form was put together. |

The Lavington Manual (Manuale ad usum Sarum) MS. 143 


Pasted inside the cover is the following notice, apparently written 
about 1867 :-— 7 
“This ancient Missal of the 13th century fell from a de- 
lapidated part of the Wall in the Chancel of West Lavington 
Church near what had been the receptacle for Holy Water 
some 50 years ago; and was presented by the Revd. J. Williams 
then Curate to the Incumbent, the Revd. William Mairis D.D.” 
The Rev. J. Williams was curate of West Lavington in 1817, 
and the Itev. Dr. Mairis, Vicar from 1817—1828, so we nay pre- 
sume the manuscript came to light just 100 years ago; but of what 
happened to it between the time of its discovery and its appearance 
in the Sale Rooms there is no information, nor is it known who 
wrote the inscription im the cover. 
The contents of the MS. are as follows :— 
The fiy-leaf, which was probably part of the same MS. as Part 
III, (late loth century), contains the latter part of Psalm CXIII. 


p) 


and the Antiphon “In paradisum” which might lave been useful 
at some time for a procession to the grave, thouvh probably here 
ib 1s only intended as a fly to protect the first leaf of text. 

Then comes Part I., containing the Offices of the Manual, on 
forty-four leaves of thick vellum having seventeen lines to the page, 
measuring, 53in. x 4in., and is apparently the earliest Sarum 
Manual extant; the order of the offices is as follows :— 

| Exorcismus Salis. 
Ordo ad catechuminum faciendum. 
For BAPTISM, Benedictro fontis. 
Baptismus parvulorum. 
and a Rubric for Confirmation. 
For MARRIAGE Ordo ad facienda sponsalia4 
[This service omits all mention of banns 
and the usual spousal vows and after the 
collects at the porch proceeds direct to 
the blessing of the ring. ] 


1(The reduced facsimile from Part I., leaf 15, in 14th century writing, 
gives the form for Blessing the Wedding-Ring (Benedictro annulz) from the 
Marriage Service, as may be seen in Mzssale Sarum, 8vo, Burntisland,

This is followed by 15 leaves in a larger hand, containing -— 
Prefaeiones (decem ). 
Canon Misse. 
The whole of this Part L, though written in two hands, is 
rubricated by the same hand and dates from about 1330—40, 
Then we come to Part II., which is the most interesting part of 
the MS. In order to complete what was wanting in Part I. the 
compiler of the book incorporated six leaves of a 13th century 
missal (or ? manual) containing the four Votive Masses :— 
De Trimtate. 
Votive De S. Spiritu. 
Masses De Cruce. 


The Prefaces and Canon of the Mass{ 


Quotidiana de S. Maria (Salve,sancto parens), 
and on the last page the priest’s concluding devotions at the end 
of mass. 

These leaves are written in a very peculiar script that has puzzled 
a good many paleographers, but has been pronounced by Sir E, M. 
Thompson to have been written by an Englishman; probably a 


The Lavington Manual (Manuale ad uswm Sarum) MS. 145 


very old man with a heavy hand; and to date from about the 
third quarter of the 13th century.’ 

Some of the peculiarities are, the persistent use of the uncial 
«R” with a reversed tail (that is, turning inwards instead of out- 
wards) in the middle of the words; the curious abbreviation for 
“et” formed of a modified “q” with three curves attached, which 
Sir E. M. Thompson considers to be the scribe’s attempt to make 
the modern “&.” Another peculiarity is his division of words, 
sometimes even of monosyllables,—e.g., “N” on one line, “on” on 
the next, «52— “une,” &e. A curious double, decorative “N” and 
some other letters have led some experts to think that the scribe 
was an [rishman; but though it is possible he may have had some 
Irish MS. in his mind’s eye, there appears to be no doubt that the 
hand is English, and that these leaves form one of the earliest 
English (Sarum) liturgical MSS. known. It is much to be 
regretted that only so small a portion of this early MS. remains 
to us. 

The last portion of the book, Part IIL, was taken from some 
late 15th century missal or dirige book; only twelve of the leaves 
remain, a complete gathering of eight leaves and four others, two 
of which have been re-written; the rest of the book has been 
either cut away or lost, and the leaves that remain are much cut 
down. | 

It is quite probable that the MS. from which these leaves were 
taken was in a dilapidated condition, and just those wanted were 
incorporated with the old book. : 

The twelve leaves contain the “ Placebo,” or Evensong of the 


1 {The passage, here shown in reduced facsimile as a specimen of the 13th 
century script, is a portion of the votive mass of the Holy Ghost (Jfssa de

Dead, and the beginning of the “ Dirige,” or Mattins, ending with 
the 1st verse of its second psalm (Ps. VI., Domine, ne in furore). 

Of the early history of the manuseript one can only write 
problematically. It was, as has been stated above, put together 
from the three MSS., and bound up towards the end of the 15th 
century. Why it was made up in this way, one cannot say; but 
Canon Wordsworth suggests that the priest of that time requiring 
a small portable manual, that he could take about the parish and 
the outlying districts, put it together from old books he found in 
the Church chest. : 

Lavington Episcopi was the Bishop’s Prebend from 1254 and 
would, presumably, be supplied with afull series of service books, 
and it is quite probable the Church Manual was too large for 
carrying about, and may have been a fine manuscript, too precious 
to be taken out of doors to a funeral in inclement weather. 

When the printed editions came into use this old MS. would, 
probably, be thrown into the Church chest again, and so may have 
remained there till the time of the Reformation, when all books of 
the old form of service were ordered to be sent to Salisbury, and | 
the new use of “Common Prayer” and administration of the 
sacraments and other rites and ceremonies of the Church was 
instituted. 

Why was this old book overlooked? Was it a mistake or in- 
tentional? I think we may take 16 that it was intentional; and 
the priest, finding it, hid it behind a loose stone so that he might 
be able to bury, even if he could not baptise, his flock according to 
the rites which they were used to. 

Sir E. M. Thompson is inclined to doubt the story that the book 
was walled up, as the want of air and damp would have caused 
the vellum to decay; but the present writer is inclined to think 
that the stone would naturally be a loose one, behind which the 
book lay, in order that it might be easily got at when required, 
and sufficient air would get to it to preserve it ; and again we have 
the distinct statement in the cover, for which there can be no 
reason unless it is true.

the writer, as he has not been able to visit West Lavington and 
examine the chancel; but in the Wilts Arch. Mag., xxv., 19, in an 
account of the Church, mention 1s made of traces of a niche and a 
piscina (which may be the so-called holy water receptacle) in the 
Becket Chapel in the south side of the chancel. 

Canon Wordsworth has noted that injunctions were issued by 
Bishop T. Bentham, in the Coventry and Lichfield diocese, in 1565, 
ordering the clergy to put away all “monuments of idolatry and 
superstition,” &c., laid up in secret places, and to do up all manner 
of hollow places in their chancels or Churches;! and it may be 
that (supposing the like order was taken for the diocese of Salisbury) 
the niche in which this book was hidden at West Lavington ap- 
peared to be filled in, and so was not hermetically sealed up, at a 
time when enquiry for such things was made by Bishop Jewel or 
any of his successors or their subordinates. 

Liturgically the manuscript has considerable interest, and the 
tev. Dr. Bannister has pointed out several unique features both 
in form and order of the prayers and collects, but the present 
writer does not feel competent to deal with them in an account of 
this sort, and he hopes that in due course the book will be thoroughly 
examined from a liturgical point of view by more learned hands 
than his. | 


{In the absence of the author on service Canon Wordsworth has 
very kindly corrected the proofs of this paper. In doing this, he 
has abstained from discussing the exact relation between this 
interesting MS. (which was presumably at one time used locally 
in Wiltshire) and those later bouks which, upon their title page 
and in their rubrics, explicitly claim the authority of the Use 
of Salisbury. Ed. ]

THE BUCKLER COLLECTION OF WILTSHIRE 
DRAWINGS. 


This splendid collection of 690 drawings of Wiltshire Churches, houses, 
and other ancient buildings, in ten atlas folio volumes, 244in. X 17#in., 
finely bound in russia leather, with the arms of Sir Richard Colt Hoare on 
the sides and back, and lettered ‘‘ Collections for Wiltshire,” were executed ' 
by John Buckler, F.S.A., the well-known architect and topographical artist 
(b. 1770, d. 1851), for Sir R. C. Hoare, and formed one of the chief treasures 
of the Stourhead Library. At the sale of this library by Messrs. Sotheby, 
July 30th—Aug. 8th, 1883, the drawings which form Lot 237 of the catalogue 
of the sale, were bought by the Rev. John Henry Ellis, Rector of Stourton 
1874—87, and remained in his possession until his death on Nov. 21st, 1912, 
“their existence being forgotten for a generation. On July 13th, 1913, how- 
ever, they appeared amongst the books from ‘“‘the Library of the late Rev. 
J. H. Ellis and others” to be sold by Messrs. Sotheby, Wilkinson, & Hodge, 
and were bought by Mr. Francis Edwards, bookseller, 83, High St., Mary- 
lebone, for £172, and catalogued by him at £400. ‘They afterwards passed 
into the hands of Messrs. Batsford, of High Holborn, and were widely 
advertised by them early in 1916 throughout the county for £375. ‘The Wilts 
Archeological Society was already engaged in an appeal for the purchase 
of the Brooke Collection of Antiquities, then in the market, and it was 
hopeless to attempt to acquire these drawings also at that time. In these 
circumstances, Mr. W. Heward Bell, F.S.A., F.G.S., came forward, not for 
the first time in similar circumstances, and bought the drawings for £350, 
expressly in order that the collection might not be broken up, and that the 
Wilts ArchzologicalSociety might have anopportunity of becoming possessed 
of them later on. The committee of the Society at the beginning of 1918 
came to the conclusion, that in view of the probability that it will be con- 
siderably more difficult to raise money for any purpose after the war, it 
would be well at once to issue an appeal for the £350 necessary to enable 
the Society to take advantage of Mr. Bell’s generous offer. This was done, 
the appeal, it is interesting to note, being privately printed without cost to 
the Society, by the Rev. B. W. Bradford, Rector of Broughton, near Banbury, 
who possesses the corresponding series of Buckler’s drawings of Oxfordshire. 
The appeal was widely circulated throughout the county by the Hon. Sec., 
and in little more than two months the whole sum required was paid in. 
Mr. Bell was paid in full, the expenses of the appeal were provided for, and 
a balance remaining over has been carried to the ‘“ Purchase Fund” 
of the Society, which is available for the acquisition of valuable Wiltshire 
objects which may come into the market in the future. For this happy 
result we have to thank Mr. Bell and many other generous donors, not @ 
few of whom have helped the Society in several previous appeals. It may 
be mentioned that Mr. Bell undertook that the whole sum received by him 
should be at once invested in War Loan, and this has been done. 


The Buckler Collection of Wiltshire Drawings. 149 


Buckler was an architect, and an authority on medizval architecture, as 
well as an artist, and his drawings, which are all in water colour, are at once 
beautifully finished drawings, and, what is of more importance from an 
archeological point of view, singularly clear and accurate in detail. 

Dating as they do from 1803 to 1811, before the era of Church restoration 
and rebuilding began, they form a unique record of practically the whole of 
the ancient Churches of Wiltshire as they existed a hundred years ago. 
Of these Churches nearly all have undergone the process of restoration, 
involving in almost all instances until recent years, very considerable 
alterations or additions. Many have been completely rebuilt, and nothing 
of the old building remains. Of others the nave perhaps is left whilst the 
chancel is entirely modern. Of others. again, the tower remains while the 
rest of the Church is new. 

Each volume has a pictorial title page, formed of a group of architectural 
fragments, after the fashion of the day. Tor instance, that of Vol. I. shows 
Salisbury Cathedral, with Stonehenge and Malmesbury Abbey in the fore- 
ground. This volume contains also a page of dedication to Sir R. C. Hoare, 
with a view of Stourhead House, and the Hoare arms. The dedication runs : 

“To Sir Richard Colt Hoare. Baronet, of Stourhead, this Collection 
of Drawings of the Ecclesiastical Antiquities of Wiltshire made under 
his munificent patronage, is with respect and gratitude most humbly in- 
scribed by his much obliged and faithful devoted servant, John Buckler.” 

Vol. I. contains the Deaneries of Amesbury and Wilton. 

» LI. Deanery of Chalke. 

,, LLL. Deanery of Wylye. 

» LV. Deaneries of Marlborough and Avebury. 

» V. Deanery of Potterne. 

,, VI. Deanery of Malmesbury. 

» VII. Deanery of Cricklade. 

VIII. With two title pages. Architectural Details. 

, LX. Antiquities of Salisbury. 

, xX. Ancient Buildings in the County of Wiltshire (other than 

Churches). 

Amongst the buildings which have entirely disappeared since these 
drawings were made are:—Biddestone St. Peter’s Church ; Fugglestone 
Priory, which is believed to have stood in what is now the kitchen garden 
of Wilton House; Hannington Wick Chapel, apparently a plain little 
fifteenth century building, pulled down cz. 1880; the two Malmesbury 
Chapels at Burton Hill and Burnivale (St. Helena’s); the Market House 
at Mere; the Bell lower, the Beauchamp and Hungerford Chapels (in- 
teriors) of the Cathedral, the Arcade of the College de Vaux, the old Guild 
Hall, the old Market House, at Salisbury ; Savernake Lodge; Spye Park 
House (a Square Classical House, with large portico, which preceded the 
present house, built in 1870); the curious tower-like building close to the 
old Manor House at Stanton St. Quintin: Whaddon (a fine Elizabethan 
gabled house) ; and Winterbourne Dauntsey Church, pulled down 1867. 

The following Churches have also been wholly rebuilt :—Alderbury 
(rebuilt 1857) ; Chicklade (1832) ; Chitterne All Saints (1861) ; Cholderton 
(1850); Chute (1871): Earlstoke (1880); Easton Grey (1836); HEverley

Semley (1875); Slaughterford (1873); Swallowcliffe ; Winterbourne Earls 
(1868); Woodborough. 

Of the following the tower of the old Church alone now remains, the 
nave and chancel having been rebuilt: Atworth (rebuilt 1852); Hilperton 
(1854); Knoyle, West (1878) ; Wilsford (near Amesbury) (1840); Woodford 
(1845). 

The chancels alone remain now in the case of the following :—Chitterne 
St. Mary’s; The Leigh (the nave has been re-erected on a new site) ; Sutton 
Veny ; Swindon. 

Other Churches which have been greatly altered :—Brinkworth (chancel 
rebuilt); Clyffe Pypard (chancel rebuilt) ; Corsham (central tower removed 
1878) ; Devizes, St. John, of which the previous W. End is shown); Enford 
(spire fell 1817 and greatly injured the Church) ; Fonthill Bishops (chancel 
rebuilt); Harnham, West ; Hilmarton (tower, &c., rebuilt) ; Kennet, East; 
Juyneham (chancel rebuilt); Melksham (central tower moved to W. End, 
1840); Nunton; Stanton Fitzwarren (lengthened at W. End); Warminster 
(nave rebuilt, 1887—89); Wootton Bassett (enlarged and altered, 1870) ; 
Yatesbury (chancel rebuilt, 1854). 

The two plain Norman arches with a wide pier between them of the 
‘middle aisle” of Avebury Church, apparently both on the N. and S. sides, 
are illustrated, but there is no sign of the curious little circular windows in 
the clerestory over them. On the other hand the original N. arcade of 
Wroughton Church is shown as three very similar Norman arches with 
two wide piers, and above them in the clerestory five circular patches ofa 
darker colour, apparently indicating plastered-up circular windows of the | 
same type as at Avebury. As this arcade has been swept away there is no 
possibility now of proving whether these circular windows existed. The 
patches, however, occupy exactly the positions in which the circular wide 
at Avebury are slaced. 

Of the Norman door at Ashley Church it is noted that it was on the N. 
side, and was “ Removed to the South side July, 1809.” ‘Three views of 
Chapel Plaster (or “ Haslebury Chapel”) as it was in 1809 are given. Boyton | 
Church is shown with the S. Chapel unroofed. An interior view of Salisbury | 
Cathedral shows the organ on Wyatt’s stone screen; another of the | 
Poultry Cross shows a short column surmounted by a sundial in the place | 
of the present roof and finial, and one of St. John’s Chapel on Harnham | 
Bridge shows it in a more complete condition than at present. Two good | 
views of Enford Church show it as it was in 1807 before the fall of the spire. | 

Of brasses several are illustrated which had disappeared before Kite | 
wrote his Brasses of Wiltshire, e.g., an inscription at Alderton to Thomas | 
Gore; a brass with the figures of John Hunt and his wife, 1590, with a 
separate inscription to the same, at Ham ; an inscription to Harry Preci at 
Bishopstone (N. Wilts); and an inscription to John Dawnse at W. Lavington, | 
whilst the brass of John Baynton at Bromham shows two more shields tham |~ 
are shown in Kite’s illustration. Lo

A View of Bowood shows the front in 1806, before the terraces and Italian 
Gardens were laid out; Kingston House, at Bradford, shows the terraces 
and garden front as they were in 1808; three views of Longford Castle 
show the entrance front in 1805, the garden front with one of the round 
towers in course of erection in the same year, and a N. View in 1811. 


Berwick St. Leonard Manor House (removed within recent years and re- 


erected at the Ridge), Wick House, an old house at Chitterne All Saints, 
and many other houses, are well illustrated. 


In the volume of details a long series of the Crosses, the Norman doors, 


Chancel arches, Arcades, and the more remarkable Fonts of the county, 


are given. 
In view of the great interest and value of this collection it has seemed 


worth while for convenience of reference for those who cannot easily 
consult the drawings themselves, to print a somewhat full and detailed 


catalogue of the whole of the drawings here.

DRAWINGS OF WILTSHIRE CHURCHES BY O. B. CArtrEr, 1847—50. 


An important set of sixty-three drawings of Wiltshire Churches (and of 
the Porch House, Potterne) have recently (May, 1917) been purchased from 
Mr. H. H. Bates, Bookseller, Castle Street, Salisbury, and presented to the 
Society’s Library by the Rev. E.H.Goddard. They are all byOwen B. Carter, 
architect, of Winchester, and each is signed and dated, the dates ranging 
from 1847 to 1850. They were apparently intended for his ambitiously 
planned work, “ Jilustrations of the Churches of Wiltshire” in tinted 
lithography, of which ten numbers were intended, but four only were ever 
published. No. I, Bishops Cannings (three drawings), 7s. 6d.; No. IL, 
Great Bedwyn, (four drawings), 9s. 6d., published Feb., 1852; and Parts 
III. and IV., in one number, Bishopstone, Steeple Ashton, Potterne, and 
Wilton, 15s. The drawings now presented to the Society are all beautifully 
finished measured architectural drawings in water colour. In three cases, 
Edington, Heytesbury, and Potterne, there are a double set of drawings— 
the smaller only slightly tinted, the larger fully coloured water colours. 
They consist of the following :—

| which he also procured from Mr. Bates, apparently the sketches from which 
_ the more finished drawings were made. | 


As these drawings are mostly on stout board, they cannot be mounted in 
a scrap book, but have been placed in a portfolio, marked “ Carter’s 


_ Churches,” by themselves in the Library.

WILTSHIRE DEEDS RECENTLY ACQUILED. 


At the sale of the late Mrs. Collett’s effects at the Priory, Bradford-on- 
Avon, in the autumn of 1917, one of the lots consisted of seven sacks of old 
parchment deeds, weighing about 5cwt., the debris of a solicitor’s office. 


These were bought by a marine store dealer at Trowbridge for 50s., he having | 


been in the habit of selling similar parchments before the War to Germans 


for manufacture into children’s drums, tambourines, and other toys. Mr, | 


John Moulton, of the Hall, Bradford-on-Avon, having heard of them, 
secured the refusal of them, got them transferred to his premises at Bradford, 
and through Mr. Burder drew the attention of the Hon. Secretary of the 
Society to the matter. Mr. Moulton himself was interested only in such 
of the deeds as concerned Bradford, but eventually bought the whole lot 
for £12 and agreed to divide the cost equally with the Society, the latter to 
have all the deeds, whether Wiltshire or not, which did not concern Bradford 
itself. It thus became necessary to sort and roughly catalogue the deeds, 
a work of considerable labour, for which expert knowledge was necessary. 
This work Canons E. P. Knubley and F. H. Manley, the Rev. A. W. Stote, 
and the Rev. C. W. Shickle, F.S.A., of Bath, undertook to do, the sacks of 
deeds being sent to them from Bradford. Eventually the non- Wilts deeds 
were sorted out, the larger number, connected with the County of Somerset, 
being bought by the Somerset Arch. Society for the Taunton Museum, a 
smaller parcel of Devon and Cornwall deeds going to the Albert Museum 
at Exeter, and others to various private purchasers, the receipts by these 
sales bringing in £12 17s. 67., whilst the Society’s expenditure was £6 17s. 6d. 
In addition Mr. J. Moulton has promised to present the great mass of the 
strictly Bradford deeds to the Society as well, keeping only such of them as 
prove specially interesting to himself. The Society owes its best thanks 
both to Mr. Moulton for his generous promise, and to the gentlemen 
mentioned above, whose labours made it possible to bring the matter to 
such a very satisfactory conclusion. The balance remaining in the Society’s 
hands is particularly welcome, in as much as it nearly meets the charge of 
£7 incurred by the Museum Maintenance Fund for the carriage to Devizes 
of the very large collection of the deeds already owned by the Society which 
have for many years been in London in the hands of Mr. A. 8. Maskelyne, 
of the Record Office, who most kindly edited many of them in the Magazne 
from time to time, and had made some progress in the great work of 
arranging and cataloguing them—a work which pressure of other calls of 
late years has prevented his completing. At present this great collection 
of deeds—containing a vast mass of as yet undigested material for the 
family history of the county—can be only temporarily stored away, but it 
is to be hoped that some member of the Society will in the future be willing 
to devote himself to the task of completing Mr. Story Maskelyne’s work 
and rendering the whole collection available for genealogical and topo- 
graphical study. The Rev. C. W. Shickle very kindly transcribed and 
translated two Grittleton Court Rolls dated 1614—23, and 1625 —48, which 
were amongst the Bradford deeds.

B.at Naples, May 5th, 1834. S. of Robert Montagu Poore, commissioned 
in 8th Hussars, with which he served in Turkey and Central India. 
Retired 1864. Married, 1863, Juliana Benita, daughter of Rear Admiral 
Armar Lowry Corry, by whom he had four sons and three daughters. 
Of the sons the eldest is Brig. Gen. Robert Montagu Poore, D.S.O.,

R.W.Y., was killed in action Sept., 1917. The eldest daughter married 
the late Sir Alexander Wilson; the second, Sir Harold Pelly; the 
third, the Duke of Hamilton. Major Poore was for many years a 
member of the County Council; since about 1870 he had lived at Old 
Lodge, Winterslow, and his energies were devoted to the benefit of 
the people of Winterslow, the whole condition of which has been altered 
for the better by the system of small proprietorship, which—together 
with a land court—was instituted by him in 1892, and became widely 
known and commented on throughout England by land reformers as a 
pioneer movement which set an example to the rest of the country. 
Nearly forty houses have been built, over forty persons own land, and 
the balance in the hands of the court stands at £1530.

EXISTING MATERIALS FOR WILTSHIRE 
BIBLIOGRAPHY. 


By tHE Rev. E. H. Gopparp. 

At the Wilton Meeting of the Society, in 1891, Mr. C. W. Holgate 
read a paper (Wilts Arch. Mag., xxvi. 221—241) entitled “A 
Proposed Bibliography of Wiltshire,” in which he suggested that 
the compilation of a Bibliography of the County should at once be 
set on foot. Mr. Holgate was himself much interested in work 
of this kind, and by his careful and accurate habit of mind was 
well fitted to undertake it, and he began at once to copy out the 
title pages of such books as he came across in the Palace Library at 
Salisbury, at Messrs. Brown’s, booksellers, in the Canal, and else- 
where, Unfortunately, however, his hands were so full of official 
and other diocesan work, that beyond the collection of a com- 
paratively small number of notes, nothing more came of it, and | 
after his early death such notes and cuttings as he had got together 
came into my hands. Mr, G. E. Dartnell, of Salisbury, like Mr, 
Holgate an accurate and careful worker, was also interested in the 
project, and made notes of a large quantity of material, chiefly 
magazine and newspaper articles, and recent books which in the 
course of years passed through his hands, He too, however, died 
early, and his material, which had never been in any way digested 
or put in order, was also passed on to me. As to my own share in 
the work—lI have for the last 27 years carefully copied the title 
pages and noted the pages, contents, size, &c., of every book, 
pamphlet, magazine, or important newspaper article on any 
Wiltshire subject, or written by any native of, or resident in 
Wiltshire, which in the course of that period has come under my 
VOL XL.—NO, CXXIX, P

notice. I have also carefully looked through some thousands, I 
suppose, of booksellers’ catalogues, and have cut out from them 
every notice of such books or pamphlets. I thus found myself 
with a very large mass of bibliographical material on my hands; 
indeed I knew of only one other source from which any large 
addition to the material already collected was likely to be made. 
The late Canon J. E. Jackson, F.S.A., had always been interested 
in the subject and. had collected a large number of cuttings and 
notes dealing with it. ‘These, with his other MS. papers and notes 
on Wiltshire, were given after his death to the Library of the 
Society of Antiquaries, where within the last few years they have 
been arranged (I believe by the Rev. C. W. Shickle, F.S.A., of 
Bath) and bound up in a number of large folio volumes. The last 
of these volumes, lettered “ Wanborough, Wylye,”’ contains the 
Bibliographical collections with some other material, and this 
volume the Council of the Society most kindly lent to me for the 
space of six months in 1917, allowing me to transcribe from it every- 
thing which I had not already got from other sources. This 
collection consists of cuttings from catalogues and rough notes 
jotted down on odd bits of paper from time to time by Canon 
Jackson, and though it contained references to a large amount of 
material new to me, and to many obscure authors otherwise 
un-noted, it was in a measure disappointing. The notes, &., 
are now arranged in alphabetical order, but Canon Jackson 
had never in any way digested any of the material, and in the 
whole collection there were hardly a dozen titles completely and 
accurately copied out, or exhaustively dealt with. The value of 
the collection as a whole was not, therefore, so great as I had hoped 
to findit. The labour of comparing and extracting was considerable, 
but after six months’ work I was able to add all new matter con- 
tained in it to my own collections, which I had previously reduced | 
to order, and thus found myself possessed of practically the whole 3 
of the material at present available for a “ Wiltshire Bibliography.” 
It is not a subject which greatly appeals to me, or in which I have 
any specially expert knowledge, bnt as chance had thrown the 
material into my hands, if that material was not to be lost, aud 


By the Rev. B. H. Goddard, 2il 


the work of several hands and many years thrown away, the only 
thing to he done was to sort, digest, and as far as possible complete 
and put into permanent order this large mass of material. I have, 
accordingly, arranged the whole of it on sheets of foolscap size, 
under the names of authors, and also under Wiltshire place names. 
It is, therefore, now easy to refer to, and will, I hope, form the 
- basis upon which the future bibliographer of Wiltshire will be able 
to complete his work. As it stands it is by no means ready for 
printing or publication; it still needs several years’ work by someone 
within reach of the Bodleian or British Museum Library to bring 
_ it to anything like a complete or final condition. I should be most 
happy to hand it over to anyone who may feel disposed to under- 
take its completion. It will be placed eventually in the Society’s 
Library, but meanwhile [ propose to keep it in my own hands and 
‘to add to it as occasion offers. It seems desirable now, however, to 
put the fact of its existence and the possibility of consulting it on 
record here. 
_ The following books of reference, amongst others, have been gone 
through and the Wiltshire references extracted :— Wiltshire Arche- 
ological Magazine, vols, 1—XL. Wiltshire Notes and Quertes, vols: 
| Bigaae Wiltshire Parish Registers, Marriages, vols. I1.—X. 
Memorials of Old Wiltshire. Memoirs Illustrative of the Hist. ond 
Antigs. of Wiltshire and the City of Salisbury, 1851. Britton’s 
‘Beauties of Wiltshire, 3 vols. Salisbury Pield Club Transactions, 
2 vols. Marlb. Coll. Nat. Hist. Reports, to 1918. Stratford's 
Wiltshire Worthies. Cassan’s Lives of the Bishops of Salisbury: 
Indew to Archeological Papers, 1665—1890. Collectanea Topog. & 
Genealog., vols. 1—VIIL. Gentleman's Magazine Library—Arche- 
ology ; Topography ; Romano-British Remains. Lowndes’ Biblio- 
graphers Manual, 6 vols. Unpcott’s Topography. Wood's Athene 
; Ononienses, Hid. Bliss, 4 vols. Cooper's Athenee Cuntabrigienses, 
1500—1609, 2 vols. 
| I have reckoned as “ Wiltshire Authors” all who were born, or 
have held office, or resided for any length of time in the county, so 
far as I have been able to discover them. The total number of 
such authors is about 1700, whilst the number of separate titles. 
ey 


212 Existing Matervals for Wiltshire Bibliography. 


including different editions of the same work, is somewhere about 
14,900. In this total are included all the more important notices 
of Wiltshiremen and Wiltshire articles in newspapers and maga- 
zines, Sale Particulars of Wiltshire properties, the more important 
Catalogues of Sales of household furniture and books, Acts of 
Parliament, and such Reports of Societies and Institutions in 
Wiltshire as are published in pamphlet form. Where these are 
published annually the series is reckoned as one entry only. The 
majority of the 947 titles by 732 authors already dealt with by 
Mr. W. Jerome Harrison in his “ Bibliography of Stonehenge and 
Avebury,” (Wulis Arch. Mag., xxxii.) are not included in my lists. 

It is not possible to give more than an approximate total of the 
whole, as the cuttings from booksellers’ catalogues, of which there 
are a large number, and entries extracted from Lowndes, Wood, 
and other authorities, often no doubt refer to the same work or 
edition. None indeed of the entries derived from these sources 
can be considered as finally dealt with until the attempt has been 
made to correct them by the inspection of the works themselves 
in some great library. As I have said above it is not possible 
for me personally to do anything in this direction, but I have | 
distinguished all entries which I have been able to complete f 
myself thus [Title E.H.G.], and in cases where the book is | 
in the Museum Library at Devizes [Title E.H.G. Dev, Mus.]. 
Where the entry has been completed by someone else I have 
added [Title. C. W. Holgate], &c. In the large number of cases, 
also, where the entry has been taken from the “[Index of Arche- 


ological Papers]” it may be considered to be complete. Of such |” 


completed entries there are about 7750, or rather more than half of |~

The following mosses were gathered in the winter and spring of 
1917—1918 around Great Bedwyn, which lies about seven miles 
to the south-east of Marlborough, and is near Savernake Forest 
and not very far from the county boundary between Wiltshire 
and Berkshire. This border village is situated on the soft white 
Marsupites testudinarius zone of the Upper Chalk near the apex 
of the London Basin, but the calcareous facies of the moss- 
flora is very much masked by the occurrence of Eocene out- 
liers and Pleistocene layers of sand, gravel, and clay in the 
neighbourhood, The Kennet and Avon Canal passing through 
Great Bedwyn divides Wiltshire into the two vice-counties North 
Wilts (v. c. 7) and South Wilts (v.c. 8), All the localities and 
a number of the mosses are additional to those in my paper, “ East 
Wiltshire Mosses,” (Wilts Arch. Mag, xxxix., p. 449, June, 1917). 
The arrangement and nomenclature of the Census Catalogue of 
British Mosses (1907) have been followed, and I am much indebted 
for kind assistance and notes to Messrs. H. N, Dixon, H. H. 
Knight, W. Ingham and Mr.J.A.Wheldon. The list contains sixteen 
new vice-comital records for Wiltshire, the greater number of which 
were made close to Great Bedwyn,and forcibly illustrates the maxim 
that the more a district is examined the more it produces. 7—

1 A large part of these notes on mosses were printed under the title “East 
Wiltshire Mosses and Hepatics” in The Journal of Botany, vol. 56, June, 
1918, pp. 181—186: and the considerable additions now printed will also 
appear in the same Jowrnal in a future issue. 


232 East Wiltshire Mosses, Hepatics, and Land Shells. 


Polytrichum nanum (Neck.)—7*. c. fr. Rather plentiful 
in an old excavation for gravel near London Ride, Savernake 
Forest: abundant and ec. fr. in old excavations for gravel just to 
the south of the London and Bath Road, a little to the west of 
Puthall Gate, Savernake Forest. ©. P. alojdes var. Dicksoni 
(Wallm.)—7*. OC. fr., sparingly in four places with P. nanum in 
the excavations near the London and Bath Road above referred bon 
Mr.W. R.Sherrin tells me he found this uncommon var. in Savernake 
Forest some years ago, and I think his locality is identical with 
mine. P. piliferum (Schreb.) 7, 8—An extremely swall 
tuft near Folly Farm, Great Bedwyn; ec. fr. and very plentifully 
on banks in the old excavations for gravel to the south of the 
London and Bath Road, above referred to; this is a capital locality 


for Polytricha, no fewer than six kinds fruiting and flourishing 
here, viz. nanum, aloides, and its var. Dicksoni, urnigerum, 
piliterum, and juniperinum, and TI also noticed a tuft of 
formosum, which had probably escaped from an adjoining wood. 
P. piliferum seems scarce in this district; Mr. Knight informs 
me he generally finds it growing with the next species, P. junt- 
perinum (Willd) 7, 8. Fairly plentiful and fruiting in the 
gravel excavation near Puthall Gate, above referred to; sparingly 
near Folly Farm and at Dod’s Down Brickworks. 

Archidium alternifolium (Schp.)—7* 8*.—In some quantity 
with the hepatic Scapania curta on the ground in walks in 
Chisbury Wood; very sparingly on a walk in Bedwyn Brails 
Wood. Sterile in both localities; not uncommon in Savernake 
Forest, but I have not yet found fruit. 

Campylopus pyriformis (Brid.)—8. On tree stumps in a 
wood near Folly Farm and also on the edge of Wilton Brails Wood. 

Fissidens bryoides (Hedw.)—7, 8. C. fr. Ona bank in an 
old excavation for gravel near Bedwyn Common; in a hedgebank 
near Newton Shalbourne. 

Pottia bryoides (Mitt.)—8*. C. fr. Sparingly on the ground 
by the roadside between Folly Farm. and Bedwyn Brails. Wood, 
(teste Knight).

Tortula mutica (Lind.)—7, 8. Ona sarsen stone near Tid- 
combe ; also by a pond in Tottenham Park. T. laevipila 
var. laevipilaeformis (Limpr)—8* With foliose gemmae on a tree 
at Tidconbe, and also fairly plentifully on shrubs and at the foot of 
trees in a hedverow near the same village; Mr. Dixon noticed tls 
var. on elder at Beckhampton, it seems not uncommon on trees in 
the South of England, often by water, and I have found it very 
plentifully near Burnham-on-Sea, in North Somerset, (6%), and have 


also seen it in Berkshire (22*) and near Ilfracombe (4). 


T. papillosa (Wils).—-7. On stone by a lock on the Kennet and 
Avon Canal, near Froxfield; Mr. Knight records this generally 


arboreal species from an old tombstone at Dumbleton, in Gloucester- 


shire, and I have seen it on a tiled roof at Shalbourne; also on 
elder in Savernake Forest. ) 

Barbula lurida (Lindb.)—7*, 8*. On stone by the locks on 
the Kennet and Avon Canal, east and west of Great Bedwyn ; it 
occurs on both sides of the canal; also on a sarsen stone at 
Tideombe. iB. tophacea (Mitt.)—8* Fruiting freely on 
the ground at Dod’s Down Brickworks, a small form. B. 
sinuosa (Braithw.)—8.—On a tree root and also on a sarsen stoue 
at Tidcombe. 

Weisia viridula (Hedw.) 7,8. C. fr. here and there in sandy 
places, as near Hight Walks and the Bath Road, in Savernake 
Forest, near Chisbury, near Kast Grafton on Upper Greensand, ete. 

Orthotrichum anomalum var. saxatile (Milde)—7, 8. 
On stone by locks on the Kennet and Avon Canal near Great 


Bedwyn, common and fruiting freely. O. cupulatum 


(Hoffin.)—7, 8* C. fr, on stone by locks on both sides of the 
Kennet and Avon Canal east and west of Great Bedwyn. Mr. 
Knight mentions in the “ Mosses of Gloucestershire” that this moss 
often grows on bridge walls and canal locks in that county; Mr, 
Ingham tells me this species was found in North Wiltshire by the 
late Dr. Parsons. 

Physcomitrium aN iiorme (Brid, ea) C. fr, on damp avonnd 
by the Kennet and Avon Canal near Great Bedwyn. 


234 East Wiltshire Mosses, Hepatics, and Land Shells. 


Funaria fascicularis (Schp.)—8. C. fr. on fallow ground in 
two localities near Great Bedwyn. 

Webera nutans (Hedw.)—8. Various patches fruiting freely 
occur on London Clay at Dod’s Down Brickworks; it also grows in 
Tottenham Park and Chisbury Wood. W. annotina 
(Schweeg).—7*, 8. Ona gravel walk in the north-east of Savernake 
Forest, the non-gemmiparous form; the interesting form of this 
species recorded in my paper, “ Hast Wiltshire Mosses,” referred to 
above, produces capsules in some quantity, accompanied by fruiting 
Bryum pallens (Sw.), on damp sandy clay by water at Dod’s 
Down; the fruit in Webera annotina is rare and Mr. Knight 
mentions that it is always barren in Gloucestershire. Mr. Dixon 
wrote :—“ The Webera annotina in very nice fruiting condition 
confirms my view that it belongs to type rather than to any of the 
vars.” W. annotina var. erecta (Correns)—7*. Plentifully in a 
valley vear the Column, Savernake Forest, growing with Cera- 
todon purpureus. About this var., which the Census Catalogue 
only records for five vice-counties, Mr. Dixon writes :—“ Your 
Webera is true var. erecta, I think. The leaves are wide, 
plane-margined, and decurrent. It is true the bulbils are rather 
small; but that would sometimes be the case and probably also 
they are not quite fully formed—though they fall off easily.” 

Bryum atropurpureum var. gracilentum (Tayl)—8* On 
bare ground near Folly Farm, with copious gemme. 

Neckera pumila var. Philippeana Ctl On trees 
in Foxbury Wood, Great Bedwyn. 

Thuidium Philiberti (Limpr.)—7, 8. This moss is rather 
frequent in open grassy spaces around Great Bedwyn. 

Bachythecium caespitosum (Dixon)—8*. Plentifully at 
the base of four trees at ‘Tidcombe. 

Eurynchium Swartzii (Hobk.)—7, 8.C. fr. under trees uear 
St. Katharine’s Vicarage, Savernake, as well as in the Grand Avenue, 
near the boundary between Tottenham Park and Savernake Forest. 
I found this moss with capsules in a wet dripping hollow on the 


By Cecil P. Hurst. 235 


coast near Ilfracombe, and noticed that in the latter locality the 

capsules were rather long and arcuate, in fact resembling those of 
E. Praelongum, of which, of course, EK. Swartzii is a sub-species, 
while in the Savernake Forest localities they were much smaller 
and very short and turgid. Mr. Knight tells me he has noticed 
the same differences in the capsules in plants sent him from the 
Pembrokeshire coast aud those growing inland near Cheltenham. 

Plagiothecium silvaticum (B & S.)\—7, 8. Jn woods and 
rather plentiful at the foot of shrubs in hedgerows near Great 
Bedwyn, fruiting (teste Dixon) sparingly in a wood near Froxfield 
and also in Savernake Forest. 

Hypnum aduncum (group) pseudo-fluitans var. paternum 
forma gracilis (Ren.)—8. In masses in a pool near Folly Farm ; 
this moss affects pools on London Clay in this district. H. 
fluitans var. gracile (Boul.)—7*. Very plentifully in and 
around a small pool on peaty soil at about 500ft. in Chisbury 
Wood, Great Bedwyn. This is an interesting addition to the North 
Wiltshire moss-flora, in which calcareous vice-county it cannot be 
a common plant, for H. fluitans generally avoids lime, and 
Mr. Knight, in the “ Mosses of Gloucestershire” gives no record for 
Hast Gloucestershire (v.c. 33) and only one (the var. falcatum) 
for West Gloucestershire (v.c. 34), H. palustre (Huds.)— 
7,8. This moss fruits freely by the side of the Kennet and Avon 
Canal near Great Bedwyn. 

The following species, which contain eight new vice-comital 

records, were noticed around Great Bedwyn in May, 1918 :— 
Sphagnum cymbifolium (Ehrh.) 8. In a small pool near 
Foxbury Wood, Great Bedwyn. Mr. Knight writes :—“ The cell 
walls are not papillose, so it is not what I call S, papillosum ; 
| but there is, I believe, a form of S, papillosum (var. laeve) 
with smooth cell walls and this I am unable to distinguish from 
_ S. cymbifolium.” Dicranella Schreberi (Schp.)—7*. 
~ Chisbury Wood, growing with Pleuridium subulatum (teste 
| Knight). Leucobryum glaucum (Schp.)—7. Rather 


236 Hast Wiltshire Mosses, Hepatics, and Land Shells. 


sparingly in one place in Chisbury Wood; also in Cobham Frith 
‘Wood ; this species is very rare in calcareous districts, and in 
the “ Mosses of Gloucestershire” Mr. Knight gives only one 
Gloucestershire locality east of the Severn, viz., that of Father 
Readev’s “sparingly at Woodchester.” Encalypta strep- 
tocarpa (Hedw.)—7. On a chalky bank near Ramsbury ; in 
the “ Moss Flora of the Marlborough Greywethers” Mr, Dixon 
records this calcicolous species from the mortar ‘of stone- 
work at Bowood Park. Philonotis caespitosa (Wils.)—8. 
This rare species is now (end of May, 1918) producing male flowers 
freely in a bog on London Clay near Burridge Heath, Great Bedwyn, 
thecapsules have not beenfound in Britain; I sent a piece to Mr.J.A. 
Wheldon, who noticed Eurynchium piliferum in the tuft, which 
surprized him, for E. piliferum is common on the limestone of 
North Lancashire and very scarce in the southern sandstone district 
of that county, where it occurs on glacial drift which usually con- 
tains calcareous detritus, while P, caespitosa generally affects 
siliceous rocks; Mr. Wheldon tells me the distribution of the latter 
moss in Lancashire is very uncertain. - Webera nutans 
(Hedw.)—7*. On sandy soil in Chisbury Wood. W. anno- 
tina var. erecta (Correns)—7. On paths in Chisbury Wood — 
(teste Dixon), this locality is additional to the station in Savernake | 
Forest recorded above; the brown ovate gemmae in the axils of | 
the upper leaves in this var. are so large that they push the leaves 
outwards. Bryum pseudo-triquetrum (Schwaeg.)—8. | 
This moss fruits sparingly in a small marsh near Webb's 
Gully Wood, | Great Bedwyn i B. erythrocarpum | 
(Schwaeg.)—7* Oita various places on sandy ground in | 
Chisbury Wood, with radicular crimson translucent multi- 
cellar gemme which extended sparingly along the lower } 
part of the branches. | B. atropurpureum (Web, & | 
Mohr.) —8*. C. fr. on sandy ground near Folly Farm (the type); | 
Mr. Knight writes:—“ B. atropurpureum is not common | 
everywhere, I scarcely saw it in S. Wales”; and Mr. W. Watson, J

Mnium punctatum (L.)—7*. Sandy ground in Chisbury

Chisbury Wood. H. chrysophyllum (Brid.)—8. In various 


places in a clayey meadow immediately to the south of Great 


Bedwyn. H. aduncum group typicum var. falcatum

acteristic var. falcatum,” J. A. Wheldon. H. aduncum 


group Kneiffii var. intermedium (Schp.)—8*. Plentifully and 
very fine in a pool forming part of Wilton Water, Great Bedwyn ; 
“typical var. intermedium,” J. A. Wheldon. H. fluitans 
group amphibium var. gracile (Boul.)\—7*. This moss 
paves the bottom of a small pool on peaty soil in Chisbury Wood 
and is very abundant but I could only find two capsules.!

| submerged very sparingly in one place in the Chishury Wood pool

—8*. Sparingly in three localities with the type in a bog near 
Burridge Heath, Great Bedwyn; I noticed several male flowers. 
This var. is new to the British Isles, and it is curious that two 
vars. of Philonotis P. caespitosa var. adpressa (Dismier) 
and P. calcarea var. [axa (Dismier) should be almost confined to. 
Great Bedwyn in Kast Wiltshire, so far as their distribution in the 
British Isles is at present known. Mr.W. Ingham kindlynamed my 
plants and wrote :—“Dismier is our greatest authority on Philono- 


tis, and has produced a monograph on the genus, of which he sent 


mea vopy. He says that P. fontana, seriata, tomentella, 
and caespitosa, all produce similar varieties as adpressa, laxa, 
orthophylla, etc. His description of var. adpressa is as follows:— 
“Stems of 5 cm., little coherent, scarcely radiculose, slender, simple, 
without innovations ; leaves dimorphous, some like the type, others 
distant, erect, strongly applied against the stem, widely oval, and 
shortly acuminate.” P. caespitosa varies like other species, and 
I have the var. laxa, var. elongata, and var. orthophylla. 
Your var. adpressa is the first record for the British Isles, and 
I have now all its vars. except aristata. Dismier named 
adpressa in 1908; it has long, very slender stems, without | 
tomentum.” Mr. Dixon writes:—“ This parallelism in the forms | 
or vars. of the different species of Philonotis is interesting—and | 
similar to what occurs in Sphagnum.” 

Hypnum aduncum group typicum var. intermedium 
forma penna (Sanio.)—8*. In a pool on London Clay at Dod’s 
Down, Great Bedwyn. Mr. Wheldon kindly writes :—‘“ The 
‘Harpie’ is not var, pungens, which has the apices quite different, 
the leaves being very closely appressed so as to have a julaceous 
appearance; as a rule, also, it is a smaller plant than yours, its 
habit and general appearance being quite distinctive. Your plant is 
not distinguishable from one named ‘for me by Renauld, H. 
aduncum var. intermedium forma penna (Sanio), and I 
should have no hesitation in referring it to that. It occurs around

here (Liverpool) in pits from which clay for brickmaking has been 
taken, on the drift, sometimes associated with ordinary var. inter- 
medium, of which, of course, it is only a slight form, distinguished 
by its robust habit, yellowish colour, and short pinnately arranged 
branches, giving it somewhat the appearance of Hypnum 
cuspidatum, except for the secund leaves.” 


East WILTSHIRE HEPATICS. 


The following hepatics were also gathered around Great Bedwyn 
in the winter and spring of 1917—18. Out of 281 recorded species 
the Census Catalogue of British Hepatics (1913) mentions only 11 
species for North Wiltshire and 18 species for South Wiltshire, 
the Wiltshire liverworts, like the mosses, having been much 
neglected. The comparative dryness of the county would probably 
militate against a long list of these damp-loving plants being 
produced, Miss E. Armitage, who is cataloguing the hepatics 
of the more western county of Hereford, tells me she is doubtful 
of obtaining so many as one hundred species in her list.. The 
Census Catalogue Wiltshire records are due to Messrs. W. R. 
Sherrin and Mr. Watson, neither of whom live in the county. 
Messrs. H. H. Knight and W, Ingham have very kindly helped 
me with the following short list of twenty-one species (including 
sixteen new vice-comital records) in compiling which I have 
followed the nomenelature and arrangement of the Census Cata- 
logue. Conocephalum conicum(L.)(Dum.)—8. Sparingly on 


a damp bank at Shalbourne. Lunularia cruciata (L,) (Dum.) 
—7* 8. Both sides of the Kennet and Avon Canal near Great 


Bedwyn; also in a garden in the village. Marchantia 
polymorpha (L.) 7*, 8*. Both sides of the Kennet and Avon 
Canal near Great Bedwyn. Aneura pinguis (L.) (Dum.) 


—8*. Very wet place near Folly Farm, with Bryum pseudo- 


triquetrum, Hypnum stellatum var. protensum, H. cuspi- 
datum, etc. 


240 Hast Wiltshire Mosses, Hepatics, and Land Shells. 


Metzgeria furcata (L.) (Dum)—7, 8. Comion on trees 
in Savernake Forest; I noticed capsules near Tidcombe. 
Pellia epiphylla (L.) (Corda)—8. Fruiting very freely on a sandy 
clay bank in a wood near Folly Farm: Mr, Knight tells me he 
very rarely sees this calcifugous species near Cheltenham and that 
when he finds it near that town it is generally on the sandy clay 
of the Middle Lias beds. P. Fabbroniana (Raddi)—7*, 8 
Very wet place in Savernake Forest near the Grand Avenue; also 
by a rivulet in Bedwyn Brails Wood; a common plant, Blasia 
pusilla (L.)—8* Plentifully on damp sandy London Clay by water 
at. Dod’s Down Brickworks; with the flask-shaped gemmiferous 
receptacles which are occasionally absent, especially in the North, 

Fossombronia sp. 7. On the ground in Chisbury Wood; 


the spores were absent, so ib was impossible to determine the 


species. Haplozia crentlata (Sm.) (Dum)—7, 8* On 
London Clay at Dod’s Down Brickworks and also on banks in an 
excavation ip Savernake Forest; very common in the district. 
Lophozia excisa (Dicks.) (Dum.)—7*. On a gravelly bank in 
Savernake Forest near the Column (teste Knight). Plagiochila 
asplenioides (L.) (Dum.)—7*, 8. Under trees in the Grand 
Avenue, Savernake Forest ;common in woods in both vice-coun ties, 
Lophocolea cuspidata (Limpr.)—7. At the foot of trees 
near the Mansion, Tottenham Park. L. heterophylla (Schrad.) 
(Dum) 7*. Savernake Forest and Chisbury Wood; a common 
species. Mr. Knight writes :—“ All species of the genus 
Lophocolea have a characteristic” [musky] “scent by which 
you can easily recognize the genus.” Chiloscyphus poly- 
anthus (L.) (Corda.)—8. Very wet place in Bedwyn Brails 
Wood; by a rivulet in Foxbury Wood ; bog near Burridge Heath. 
Calypogeia fissa (L.) (Raddi.)—8* Ona sandy clay bank near : | 
Folly Farm; also in Foxbury Wood, Great Bedwyn. 
Lepidozia reptans (L.) (Dum.)—7. Creeping among the stems 
of Dicranum scoparium between the Grand Avenue and 
the Column, Savernake Forest. Ptilidium pulcherrimum 


By Cecil P. Hurst. 241 


(Web.) (Hampe.)—8* In small quantity on a prostrate but still 
living stem of Salix cinerea in Foxbury Wood, Great Bedwyn, 
27th April, 1918. This rare and exceedingly pretty plant is an 
interesting addition to the Wiltshire Hepatic flora. The Census 
Catalogue records it for the following vice-counties:—5 (South 
Somerset), 57 (Derby), 62 (North-East York), 64 (Mid-West 
York, 65 (North-West York), 78, 13—85, 88, 92, and 99, 
the last seven vice-counties being in Scotland ; to these 
records Mr. Ingham tells me to add 54 (North Lincoln). Mr, W. 
Watson, of Taunton, writes about the South Somerset station :— 
“ Ptilidium pulcherrimum was found by me at Selworthy, near 
Porlock, was submitted to Mr. Ingham and agreed to byhim. Jt was 
observed on 27th July, 1912, upon rock with Frullania tamarisci. 


| 


fp it is interesting to find it occurs in 8. Wilts—it was supposed to 


| 
4 


be a northern and more alpine plant, but this is probably a mistake.” 


“Mr, A. Gepp tells me it also grows on an old oak in Epping 
| Forest, South Essex, v.c. 18. Diplophyllum albicans 
(L.) (Dum.)—7, 8*. A small form was abundant on loamy 
| banks in Savernake Forest near the London and Bath Road; 
| rather sparingly on London Clay at Dod’s Down Brickworks, 


| the commonest of the hepatics. Scapania irrigua (Nees). 
(Dum.)—7. Gravelly bank in Savernake Forest near the 
Column. S. curta (Mart.) (Dum.)—7. With the previous 


| Species on a gravelly bank in Savernake Forest near the 
Column; also with Archidium on a walk in Chisbury Wood. 
Radula complanata (L.) (Dum.)—7*, 8. Rather common 
on shrubs in both vice-counties, fruiting not uncommonly. 

1 Madotheca platyphylla (L) (Dum) 7*, 8, Trees in 
' Savernake Forest, a common species. Frullania dilatata 
(L.) (Dum.) 7, 8. Common on trees in both vice-counties. 


East WILTSHIRE LAND SHELLS. 


The following shells were observed around Great Bedwyn, mostly 


) in the spring of 1918; the localities are additional] to those in my 
MYOL XL.—NO. CXXIX. T

paper “ Marlborough Land and Freshwater Mollusca” (Walts Arch, 
Mag., xxxix., 465), and the arrangement and nomenclature of Mr, 
E.W,Swanton’s “A Poeket Guide tothe British Non-Marine Mollusca” 
have been followed. I should like to draw attention to an article 
by Mr. W. Denison Roebuck in the May (1918) number of the 
Journal of Conchology of great interest to Marlborough malacolo- 
vists ; it is entitled “ Limax cinereoniger, its Variation in Saveruake 
Forest, and Description of a New Variety,” and emphasizes the 
excellence of Savernake Forest as a hunting ground for slugs. A 
conchologist makes up for the absence of stones and rocks in this 
chalky district by the careful examination of the under surface of 
any logs, sticks, or fallen branches that he may chance to come 
across and these often prove very prolific. I have to acknowledge 
much kind help from Mr. J. W. Taylor, of Leeds. The land shells, 
and also the flowering plants and lepidoptera of this district, show a 
well-marked tendency to albinism, possibly an attempt to adapt 
themselves to their white environments in this chalky country. 
Limax maximus (Linné.) Specimens of this slug from 
Wilton Brails Wood were placed by Mr. Taylor under vars, 
ferussacci (with spotted shield) and sylvatica (with blotched 
shield and longitudonal banding). | Ee cinereoniger var. | 
stabilei. A specimen from Savernake Forest was so named by | 
Mr. Taylor. Vitrina pellucida (Miller). Rather common | 
in the district. Vitrea alliaria (Miller,) Ihave found this | 
shell in many additional stations, including nearly all the surrounding 
woods; it is common in the Great Bedwyn neighbourhood, but I 
always find it on clay or sand and never on the chalk, though Mr. 
Swanton records it from under chalk stones near Warminster. r 
V. pura (Alder.) A few specimens in a wood near Folly Farm 
and several of the var. nitidosa (shell pale horn-colour) in Foxbury | 


Wood and one near Hill Barn, Great Bedwyn; not at alla common | 


species. Shells of V. pura var. nitidosa are extremely like | 


those of V, radiatula, but the latter species has the strie more i 


strongly marked, the colour is deeper and the shell more glossy. . 
V. radiatula (Alder). Particularly frequent in the northern | —

partof Savernake Forest. Zonitoides nitidus(Miiller). Several 
specimens by water at Great Bedwyn. Arion subfuscus (Drap- 
arnaud). Onespecimen from Wilton Brails Wood; a slug from Sav- 
ernake Forest was placed under the var. rufofusca of this species by 
Mr. Taylor, Arion hortensis (Férussac.) I found an 
example of this slug adhering to a cat at Great Bedwyn. 

Punctum pygmaeum (Drap.) One shell under a log near Kast 
Grafton, the third example of this minute species that [have taken 
near Great Bedwyn, where it is apparently rare. Sphyradium 
edentulum (Drap.) A living shell in a wood near Folly Farm, 
and another in Foxbury Wood; also rare near Great Bedwyn, 
where I have only seen four specimens. Helicella heripensis 
(H. gigaxii, Charpentier.) A good living example was found 
in March by the roadside near Folly Farm. H. cantiana 


(Montagu). In the month of March I noticed large numbers of 


immature H, cantiana on chalky banks on the north side of the 


Hungerford—Salisbury Road above Shalbourne; in the current 
year (1918) H. cantiana should abound in this locality. 

Hygromia rufescens (Pennant). Abundant everywhere and 
a great pest in gardens, where it appears in swarms after every 
summer shower of rain; the white var. alba is particularly plentiful 
near GreatBedwyn. I sent a specimen of the type with veryslightly 
dislocated whorls to Mr. ‘Taylor and he wrote:—“ The H. rufescens 
is only slightly scalarid so that it would scarcely be desirable to 
placeitunder the name subscalariforme, though, of course, strictly 
speaking, even the least or almost imperceptible dislocation of the 
whorls could be’so termed.” Acanthinula aculeata (Miiller). 
A living specimen in Foxbury Wood. Vallonia costata 
(Miller), A shell under a piece of wood near Burnt Mill Lock, on 
the Kennet and Avon Canal near Great Bedwyn. V. excentrica 
(Sterki.) About twenty living specimens under logs near Hill 
Barn, Great Bedwyn, 6th May, 1918; a living shell under a log 


near Folly Farm, a little over a mile from Great Bedwyn,

Helicigona arbustorum (Linné.) Ina hedgebank at Wexcombe, 
in fair numbers; a new locality for this local species; also in a 
hedgebank in Great Bedwyn village; several specimens of the var. 
conica (testeJ.W. Taylor) occurred in a hedgebank near StypeWood, 
Bagshot. . 

Helix nemoralis (Linné.) Apparently very scarce near 
Great Bedwyn; I found two living shells in Foxbury Wood (one var. 
rubella 00300 and the other var. olivacea 00000) and about a 
living specimen that occurred at Tidcombe Mr. Taylor wrote:—“The 
shell is var. rubella. It is not var. minor, which should not 
exceed 16mm. in diam, The specimen really also inclines to 
the shade of sub-var. rosea.’’ H. hortensis. In great 
beauty and abundance in hedgebanks around Great Bedwyn and 
showing very great variability as to colour and banding; var. lutea 
is common while var. arenicola is not unfrequently met with, | 
and a specimen of var. conica occurred ina hedge. Shells with 
bluish bands were named var. violaceozonata by Mr. Taylor, and 
this var. seems not infrequent. Bya roadside less than a mile from 
the village, var. Sauveuri, which has a beautiful violet peristome, 
is quite common and Mr. Taylor wrote about a shell I sent him :— 
“The specimen you send is really the Helix Sauveuri and the 
colouring is that of var. incarnata—the yellowish transverse aper- 
tural area is a feature common to several of the colour varieties and 
has not hitherto been used as a separating character. H. Sau- | 
veuri was described asa distinct species, intermediate between H. 
nemoralis and H. hortensis, but is correctly a var. of the latter 
shell.” After a heavy thunderstorm on 26th April, 1918, I took 
sixteen examples of var. Sauveuri in the above locality, whieh 
was then swarming with H. hortensis, andsent them to Mr. Taylor, 
who wrote:—“The shells may all be broadly referred to Helix 
Sauveuri ; the colouring varies in the body of the shell and has had 
various names applied, var. incarnata, var. fagorum, var. carnea, 
ete.,applying to the different shades shown.” After slight rain on Ist 


May, 1918, I got ten examples of var. Sauveuri in the same

place. Ena montana (Drap.) In a plantation on the > 
chalk escarpment near the hamlet of Rivar, Shalbourne; dead 


shells were not uncommon but living ones were rather rare. By 
the old county boundaries, which were very sinuous, Jagged, and 


irregular, this locality is just in Berkshire, but by the new 
boundariesit is about two and half-miles within Wiltshire. ‘This shell 
also occurs in the hanging woods, Rivar Copse, and Little Rivar 
Copse, on the same chalk escarpment afew miles to the eastwards ; 
a very small portion of Rivar Copse is in Wiltshire, the remainder 
and Little Rivar Copse being in Berkshire. This escarpment isformed 
by the great upfold in the chalk known to geologists as the Kings- 
clere—Pewsey anticline and is one of the main watersheds of the 
South of England, the streams on its southern slope flowing into the 
English Channeland thoseonits northern inclinationintotheThames, 
aud so into the North Sea. Living Ena montana 18 also scarce and 
difficult to find in Rivar Copse and Little Rivar Copse, while dead 
shells are not uncommon, so that in the hanging woods on this anti- 
clinal axis the species would appear to have a tendency to die out. 


E. obscura (Miller), Generally distributed around Great 
Bedwyn but not very common, Vertigo antivertigo (Drap.) 
One dead shell near Folly Farm, Balea perversa (Linné.). A 
few specimens on a tree after rain near Tidcombe. Clausilia 
laminata (Montagu). Plentiful in Foxbury Wood; I noticed this 
species ascending the trees in Foxbury Wood in May. CG 
bidentata (Strom.) Very common around Great Bedwyn; a 
specimen which appeared to come under var. tumidula occurred 
near Folly Farm. — C. Rolphii (Leach in Turton.) On 12th 
April, 1918, I took fourteen specimens of this rare shell in a hedge- 
bank near Crofton, Great Bedwyn, and could have easily gone on 
collecting; a week or so previously I had found about a dozen 
specimens in the same locality; on 27th April, 1918, in Foxbury 
Wood I saw sight C. Rolphii and five Azeca tridens, the latter 
also a rare Wiltshire species. I have noticed C, Rolphii in four 
localities in this district, in one of the stations it is abundant and 


246 Last Wiltshire Mosses, Hpatics, and Land Shells. 


in two of the others it is common; in Foxbury Wood I found 
G.. Rolphii, C. bidentata, and C. laminata under the same 


fallen branch. Carychium minimum (Miiller). This tiny 
shell is very common in damp places and at Dod’s Down Brickworks 


by water I noticed nine specimens adhering to a piece of bark two — 


or three inches in length ; though so plentiful in wet places and in 
damp weather, it, like nearly all our land shells, is at once conspicu- 
ous by its absence when a period of dryness sets in. Limnaea 
glabra (Miiller). Living examples of this amphibious species 
occurred fairly plentifully in a marsh near Stype Wood, Bagshot; 
by the old county boundaries the locality was just in Berkshire 
but by the new ones it ig in Wiltshire. “The inclusion of this— 
the rarest British representative of the genus—in the Wiltshire 
list rests upon half-a-dozen specimens in the ‘Townsend Collection 
labelled ‘Great Bedwyn,’ probably collected in the year 1850, and 
upon Jeffreys’ record (British Conchology, I., 118),” Mr. E. W. 
Swanton’s “ The Mollusea of Wiltshire” (Jowrn. of Conel., vol. 12, 
No. 6, April, 1908). I may mention that the Great Bedwyn shells 
were studied in the “fifties” of the last century by Mr. F.N, 
Townsend, the well-kiuown eritical botanist, and that the valuable 
little collection of land and freshwater mollusea containing thirty- 
two species that he made there was presented by his widow to the 
Educational Museum at Haslemere, Surrey. 

Common land shells around Great Bedwyn, to be easily found 


in a morning’s walk, are :—Clausilia bidentata, Helix aspersa, 


H. hortensis, Pyramidula rotundata, Hygromia rufescens, | 
Carychium minimum, Euconulus fulvus, Vitrea alliaria, | 


V. nitidula, V. cellaria, and V. crystallina. 


Mr. Charles Oldham, of Berkhampstead (Herts), the Treasurer 
of the Conchological Society, paid two very short visits to Wiltshire ji 
in August and October of 1917. He tells me he unsuccessfully 
searched Savernake Forest and also the beech woods at Roundway | 7 
Down, Devizes,and at Erlestoke for Limax tenellus; in Savernake ' 
Forest, however, he found some very interesting forms of Limax th : 


maximus and L. cinereoniger, and at Devizes he saw] 


By Cecil P. Hurst, 247 


Helicella heripensis, Jaminia secale, Vertigo pygmaea and 
Clausilia laminata, and at Erlestoke Ena montana, Jaminia 
cylindracea (an uncommon shell in Wiltshire) and some very 
fine Helicigona lapicida. The Canal at Devizes yielded 


Planorbis corneus, Dreissensia polymorpha and Pisidium 
Henslowianum and that at Seend, near Melksham, Bithynia 
Leachii and Pisidium parvulum; the last species is particu- 
larly interesting, for it has only been known as British since 1916. 
Mr. Oldham noted that the freshwater mussels, Unio pictorum 
and U, tumidus were plentiful in the Canal at Seend and also 
near Wootton Rivers, Marlborough. 

Mr. J. W. Taylor, of Leeds, very kindly sent the following notes 
on shells from Great Bedwyn:—Euyconulus fulvus var. alderi 
(Gray). A specimen occurred by water on the south side of the 
Kennet and Avon Canal near Great Bedwyn; Mv. Taylor wrote :— 
“The Euconulus was var. alderi though not characteristic, it 
lacked the dark colouring, and I was unfortunately not able to 
verify the basal spiral lineation which should be present; it was_ 
not mature and would be not quite so depressed when fully grown,” 

Helix aspersa var. grisea. Mr. Taylor sent me the following 
note on a specimen I obtained in a hedge close to Great Bedwyn 
after rain:—“The shell you send 18 not var. insolida, which is 
quite uniformly and clearly coloured with the oblique striation 
deep and distinct; your specimen is referable to var. grisea, a form 
linking the type with var. exalbida.” 

H. hortensis (Miiller.) I sent Mr. Taylor over one hundred 
specimens of this species which I found in a hedgebank in Great 
Bedwyn, in Brook Street, a little to the south of the Kennet 


co TN 


and Avon Canal, and he kindly wrote :—“The shells you 
sent may he broadly arranged in their colouration into three 
groups, yellow, red and brown, which can again be variously 
sub-divided. The yellow group contains the largest number, 
but there are only three unicolorous examples which are, 


though not very characteristic, representatives of [utea, 


248 East Wiltshire Mosses, Hepatics, and Land Shells. 


flavovirens, and lutescens. In the banded series there is a 
great variety of banding embracing 10005, 10045, 10045, 10345, 
12345, (12)3(45), (123)(45), (12345), and in the living shell which 
shows 10445, the fourth band is split and the upper one of the pair 
does not represent the third band in normal shells, These all 
belong to the dark-banded group, while the rufozonate specimens — 
show 12345, (123)(45) and (12)345. The yellow group also includes 
one specimen of the var, arenicola with formula 12345, the 
discoverer of this var. confused the bands with the ground colour, 
as is frequently done even now. ‘There is one specimen which may 
be included under violaceozonata with a formula (123) x (45). 
The reddish specimens include the vars. incarnata, colorata, 
and fagorum, the name fagorum was applied by Dr. Weinland 
to this form from a real or fancied resemblance to the colour of 
fallen beech leaves, and assumed to be of some protective value ; 
some of these show faint banding 12345, 12300, and it is usually 
the case that banded shells have generally a paler ground colour 
than individuals of uniform colour which are bandless and its effect 
is more marked according to the degree of pigmentation of the bands. 
The var. roseo-hepatica includes the ruddier forms of the var. 
olivacea and the two dark shells belong to this, and mosc of the 
brownish ones, the paler and less ruddy or greyer forms may be 
regarded as the var. griseo-brunnea of Esmark. Some of these 
paler forms show traces of bandiny—12345 and 02345 being noticed. 
Some of the banded forms enumerated in the foregoing parts of 
this note have received definite names, which have been given 
chiefly by the French conchologists, though other nations have 
contributed to some extent in extending the list. Thus 10040 if 
on a shell with yellow ground colour is var, terveria (Locard), 
if 10005 it is var. michaudia (Locard) ; the formula (12345) is 
known as var. bouchardia (Moquin—Tandon), and so on. 
There are also several subvarieties of the var. bicolor of Picard, 
which is based on the basal ground colouring being perceptibly 


darker than the paler and often different shade of colour of the 
upper surface,” 


By Cecil P. Hurst, 249 


Limnaea peregra var. conglobata (Loc. and Bourg). 
Plentiful in a bog on London clay near Burridge Heath, Great 
Bedwyn ; Mr. Taylor wrote:—“The shells you send may 
perhaps be most correctly referred to var. conglobata ; they 
ave rather interesting specimens,” and on 19th June, 1918, he 
wrote :—I have as yet had no access to the description of var. 
conglobata (Loc. and Bourg.), but at present am guided solely 
by the figures published by Prof. Germain, of the National 
Museum of France, and by Comm, Caziot, of Nice. 

“In English books all species are treated in a very slight and 
perfunctory manner, so it is not a matter of surprize that you find 
no mention of this variety. 

“ There are hundreds of named forms of L peregra which have 
been regarded as varieties or as distinct species by their various 
authors and there is great need for bringing them into some 
degree of concordance so that their numbers can be largely reduced, 

“Some years ago I published a short dissertation on variation in 
this species, enumerating twenty or more varieties and figuring 
many of them, but this was comparatively a slight sketch of what 
is really necessary.” 7

THE SIXTY-FIFTH GENERAL MEETING 
OF 
THE WILTSHIRE ARCHAOLOGICAL AND NATURAL 


HISTORY SOCIETY, 
HELD AT DEVIZES MUSEUM, October 21st, 1918. 


For the fourth year in succession the Annual General Meeting of the 
Society was held at Devizes for business only, in consequence of the War. 
The President, Mr. W. Heward Bell, F.S.A., F.G.S., was in the chair; only 
a few other members were present. The report was read by the Hon. 
Secretary, and accepted, and the officers of the Society were re-elected en bloc. 
Beyond the repairs of the Museum the only other important business on 
the agenda was the question of the return to Luckington Church of three 
headstones of a very curious type, and a corbel, which were found during 
the restoration of the Church in 1872 and were then placed in the Museum 
The patron of the living, Lt.-Col. Ottley, had asked that they might be 
returned to the Church, where he promised that every care would now be 
taken of them. The consent of a General Meeting being necessary, the 
matter was placed on the agenda. It was unanimously agreed that the 
proper home for the stones was the Church from which they came, and that 
they should be returned, on condition of their careful preservation there for 
the time to come. 


THE REPORT. 


The following is the text of the annual report read by the Hon. Secretary : 

Members —For the first time since the beginning of the war the diminution 
in numbers has been arrested and the year which began with a membership 
of 313 ends with a total of 321, of whom 11 are lifemembers and 310 annual 
subscribers. There have been 8 deaths (1 of them a life member), and 14 
resignations during the year, whilst 30 new members have been elected, a 
gain of 8 on the year. 

Finance.—The Society’s accounts published in the June number of the 
Magazine show a balance on the General Account, on January Ist, 1917, of 
£64 13s. 64d., and on December 31st, a balance of £40 9s. 23d. The Museum 
Maintenance Fund, beginning the year with a balance of £7 4s. 10d., ended 
it with one of £20 3s. 6d. During the year £10 was repaid from this fund — 
to the General Fund on account of the sum of £56 borrowed some years 
ago from that fund for the repair of the Museum roof, and the other repairs 
of the Museum this year accounted for £7 11s. 2d. ‘The amount received 
by the Museum Maintenance Fund in subscriptions was £27 16s. 6d., whilst 
£4 16s. 4d. came from the box at the Museum. The number of subscribers 
to this fund has been gradually falling off, from the death or resignation of 


The Siaty-Pifth General Meetrng. 201 


old members, and it is very desirable that fresh subscribers of 5s. a year or 
upwards should come forward from among the newer members of the Society 
to take their places and keep up the level of the fund, which is of vital 
moment for the welfare of the Museum. The Museum Enlargement Fund, 
which began the year with a balance of £2 Os. 9d., ended with,one of £15 1s.4d.- 
This is 'derived jfrom the rent of the caretaker’s house. The Museum 
Purchase Fund, which is intended to be available in the future for the 
purchase of Wiltshire objects for the Museum, showed a balance at the 
beginning of the year of £20 10s. 11d., which at the end of the year had 
increased to £72 Os. 9d. This has been invested in the War Savings 
Association. This increase arose from the proceeds of the sale by the 
Committee, as authorised by the general meeting of the Society, of various 
non- Wiltshire objects, fossils, etc., as described in the report for the year 
1916-17. Adding the whole of the Society’s funds together the united 
balance which stood on January Ist, 1917, at £153 17s. 03d., had grown on 
December 31st to £203 4s. 84d., an increase on the year of £49 7s. 8d, 
which must be considered as satisfactory, though the increase arises almost 
wholly from the sale of non- Wiltshire objects from the Museum. 

Museum and Library.—The notable acquisitions during the past year 
have been all on the Library side. Of these the great Buckler collection of 
690 water colour drawings of Wiltshire Churches and houses, bought by our 
President, Mr. W. Heward Bell, F.G.S., F.S.A., in 1916, in order that the 
Society might have the chance of securing them later on, was offered by 
him to the Committee at the same price. An appeal was therefore issued 
early in 1918, and within three months the sum of £378 8s., including 
specially handsome donations from Mr. EK. 8. Wills, Mr. W. Heward Bell 
himself, and Mr. W. J. EK. Warry Stone, was paid in, thus enabling the 
purchase to be carried out, and a detailed catalogue of the drawings to be 
printed in the June Magazine, where also a list of subscribers and:full details 
of the most important addition made to the Library since its foundation 
will be found. The balance of the fund, after paying the expenses of the 
appeal and making a grant towards the printing of the catalogue, was added 
to the Museum Purchase Fund. The same number of the Magazine gives 
an account of the purchase, through the kindness and generosity of Mr. 
John Moulton, of The Hall, Bradford-on-Avon, of a very large number of 
Wiltshire deeds and documents, part of which have already reached the 
Museum, whilst a further consignment is promised by Mr. Moulton in the 
near future. In connection with the arduous work of sorting and arranging 
these deeds the Society also owes its thanks to Canon Knubley, Canon 
Manley, the Rev. A. W. Stote, and the Rev. C. W. Shickle, of Bath. Mr. 
A. 8. Maskelyne, of the Record Office, who has for many years been engaged 
on the great work of arranging, cataloguing, and editing the very large 
collection of Wiltshire deeds already owned by the Society, has been obliged, 
in consequence of the position created by the air raids in London, to return 
the whole of the deeds to the Museum. The great mass of documents now 
owned by the Society contains a vast amount of material for the topo- 
graphical and genealogical history of the county, but in order that it may 
be rendered available for reference in the future the heavy work of the 


252 The Siaty-Fifth General Meeting. 


completion of Mr. Maskelyne’s catalogue—already carried a considerable 
distance—will have to be undertaken. ‘he mere storage, too, of the docu- 
ments in the present congested state of the Library presents considerable 
difficulties, and brings the need of more space for the Library’s expansion 
forcibly before the Committee. Other gifts to the Library have been a 
complete set of “The Ancestor,” by Mr. A. Schomberg, and several volumes 
of standard works on Natural History by the Rev. E. H. Goddard. 

Publications. ‘Two numbers of the Magazine have been published during 
the year, and the Society is indebted to Mrs. B. H. Cunnington and Mrs. 
Story-Maskelyne for donations towards the cost of illustrations. The 
expense of printing the Magazine is constantly increasing, and there is no 
more useful way of helping the Society than by contributions on the part 
of authors towards the expense of printing or illustrating their papers. 
The Committee hope to be able to continue the issue of two numbers of 
the Magazine each year—but the number of pages in each number will 
certainly have to be cut down to meet the expense. 

The Bradford Barn.—The Barn is now open to visitors at a charge of 3d. 
a head. The fees brought in £5 5s. 10d. during the year, and the balance 
on the fund at the end of the year amounted to £8 19s. 9d.

THE CHURCH SURVEY IN WILTS, 1649—50. 


[Parliamentary Surveys (Lambeth), Vol. XIV., &c.] 


Communicated by the Ven. ArcnpEAcoN E. J. BopINGTON. 


-The manuscripts here transcribed were shown to me last autumn at the 
Library of Lambeth Palace by the Librarian, the Rev. Claude Jenkins, now 
Professor of Ecclesiastical History at King’s College; and to his kind interest 
and help I owe this opportunity of making them public. Our thanks are 
due to His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury for allowing them to be 
be published. And I should like to add my own to Miss E. M. Thompson 
for her scholarly transcription. We hope to carry on the work to the extent 
indicated by Canon Manley in his interesting introductory note. 

E. J. BoDIneron. 


In the transcripts given below will be found details with regard to our 
Wiltshire parishes of great interest, difficult to be obtained elsewhere. The 
originals form part of the mass of documents in the Library at Lambeth 
Palace, which have to do with the management of ecclesiastical affairs 
during the great Rebellion and the Commonwealth. 

Those printed here may be divided into two classes: (i.) Parochial Surveys, 
(ii.) Valuations of Cathedral and other Church property. ! 


i. The Parochial Surveys were carried out as a result of an ordinance for 
maintenance of ministers passed by the Parliament 16th June, 1649. 
The Commissioners of,the Great Seal were directed to issue commissions 
into every county for an inquisition into the yearly value of all parson- 
ages and vicarages presentative and of other spiritual and ecclesiastical 
benefices and livings with cure of souls attached. The commissioners 
thus appointed proceeded by the method of jury to obtain the informa- 
tion required. The returns vary to some extent, being much fuller in 
some cases than in others, but as a rule include the yearly value of the 
living, the name of the incumbent or person supplying the cure, with 
generally some judgment upon his qualifications, the name of the patron, 
the chapels, if any, attached to the parish Church, together with sug- 
gestions for the grouping of parishes or readjustment of their borders. 

The extant Surveys for Wilts cover only the Hundreds of (1.) Ames- 
bury, (i.) Elstub and Everley, (i11.) Downton, (iv.) Cawden and 
Cadworth, (v.) Chalke, (vi.) Branche and Dole, (vii.) Alderbury, (viii.) 
Frustfield, (ix.) Underditch, (x.) Chippenham, (xi.) Malmesbury, (xii.) 
Calne, (xiii.) North Damerham. The returns from the first nine were 
presented to the commissioners sitting at New Sarum on 27th, 25th, 
18th, 22nd, and 15th June, 1650: the last four were handed in to the 
Commissioners on 16th September, 1650. When duly certified as correct 
they were returned into Chancery. We must presume that inquisitions 
were carried out for all the Hundreds of Wiltshire, but that some half 
of the number have disappeared. 


2904 The Church Survey in Wilts, 1649—50. 


i. The Valuations of Cathedral and other Church property were made 
under two Acts,one passed on the 16th Nov.,1646, for the sale of Bishops’ 
lands, the other passed 13th Feb., 1648—9, for the sale of ean and 
Chapter lands, both for the use of the State. The proceeds of such 
sales were apparently intended to form a fund for the ministry. ‘These 
sales could not be carried out until proper valuations had been made. 
Those which we possess show that they were made purely for business 
purposes, no report being required in them upon the minister or his 
qualifications or general Church matters. The work was put into the 
hands of the regular surveyors in the service of the Parliament and 
carefully checked at headquarters. 


The Parochial Surveys for Wilts are all of date 1650 and are to be found 
in Vol. XIV. of Lambeth MSS. 902—22, in the same order as printed below. 
The valuations are scattered about in different volumes of this series and 
vary in date from 1646 to 1649 ; they are printed in this article immediately 
after the Parochial Survey of the Hundred in which the parish lies, when 
this exists, and the remainder will be placed in a batch at the end. 

In the Record Office may be found some other Parochial Surveys, in- 
cluding three for Wilts [Surveys of Church Livings, Commonwealth, Vol. iii.] 
These are the original returns of the Commissioners, on parchment, with 
their seals and signatures attached, while those at Lambeth are only certified 
copies on paper. They are in bad condition and in many places illegible. 
One of the three is for 1650, being the same as that at Lambeth for the 
Hundreds of Downton, Cawdon & Cadworth, and Chalke. The other two 
are of date 1656, and are inquisitions taken ‘“ By Virtue of a Commission 
ef His Highness Oliver, Lord Protector,” &c., one at Marlborough for the 
“ Hundred of Highworth, Cricklade & Stapleford, Kingsbridge, Ramsbury, 
Selkley & the Borough & Town of Marlborough,” the other at Devizes for 
the “Hundreds of Pottern & Cannyns, Bradford, Melksham & Swanborough.” 
They are of the same character as the 1650 Surveys, with very definite 
statements about the incumbent. 

In the British Museum is a manuscript (Lansdowne MS. 459), a transcript 
of which, unfortunately somewhat inaccurate, is printed in an earlier volume 
of this Magazine (x1x., pp. 182—216). This contains in tabular and abbre- 
viated form the information contained in the Surveys now being printed, 
omitting the suggestions as to re-arrangement of parishes. So far as Wilts 
is concerned it contains no additional information except that in the Hun- 
dreds of Chippenham, Malmesbury, Calne and North Damerham the names 
of the patrons have been added, which, strangely enough, are not given in 
the Surveys for those Hundreds, and the Christian names of the incumbents 
also are inserted. This manuscript is undated but the information in it is 
simply that contained in the 1650 Surveys and it was evidently put into 
this shape for convenience of use by the Parliamentary Committees. ‘That 
it is not an independent document is shown by the fact that it covers exactly 
the same Hundreds in Wilts as those in the Lambeth Survey and the 
wording of its entries as to the clergy, &c., is generally identical with that 
return. 

The question arises what became of the returns for the other Hundreds 
in Wilts? If the Lansdowne MS. 459 was compiled, as apparently it was 


Communicated by the Ven. Archdeacon E, J. Bodington. 255 


soon after 1650 how could these returns duly made to the Commissioners 
have disappeared so quickly, and if they were then in existence how is it 
that the Lansdowne MS. does not include them? Yet it seems improbable 
that the work of the Commissioners could only have been partially carried 
out. If, however, this was the case the Record Office Surveys of 1656 show 
that the Protector was anxious to complete the work begun in 1650, but 
unfortunately here again we have no returns extant for some of the Hundreds. 
I. H. Mantry. 

[The Society is indebted to the Archdeacon of Wilts for the entire cost of 
the transcription of these Surveys made by Miss E. M. Thompson. They 
are printed in full, except that the statement of the authority under which 
the Inquisitions were held, which occurs continually, is not here repeated, 
and that in consequence of the urgent necessity of curtailing space no attempt 
is made to preserve the lines of the original MS. in the letterpress.—Eb. |

photogravure portraits of George and Percy Wyndham, and six other

which had meant so much to himself. The two Wiltshire homes of 
Clouds and Wilsford come in for frequent mention in the book. A 
review in the Daily News, Oct. 4th, 1917, says: ‘ He was gloriously 
handsome as a man, and was one of those rare people who seem to | 
adorn literature, politics, intend Siu, sport and life in general by their (| 
mere presence.”

The Home and the War. By Sophie K. Bevan. 


London: John Murray. 1918. 


Paper boards, 73in. X 5in. Pp. xvi. + 263. Frontispiece portrait 
of the author, and 13 illustrations of, or connected with, Littlecote, 
which is the ‘‘ Home” of the title, 8 of them showing parts of the 
exterior of the house or the gardens. The author isa lady who, knowing 
her own mind extremely well, has evidently the knack of seeing that 
other people shall know it too. Having entered on the tenancy of 
Littlecote in the summer of 1914, the exigencies of the collapse of the 
Stock Exchange and the outbreak of war made it necessary that the 
place should be “run” on very different lines from the extravagant 
week-end methods of the previous peace time tenants. She at once 
made up her mind that she would really live there, and that unnecessary 
expenses must be ruthlessly cut down, and that the whole staff of 
“retainers ” must become productive workers. The most entertaining 
part of the book is her very lively account of the manner in which she 
tackled the 18 gamekeepers and reduced their number to 6, whilst she 
talked like a mother to the gardeners of military age until they incon- 
tinently enlisted. The disused laundry became a butter and cheese 
factory, the Borzois were expelled from the dog kennels, and their 
place taken by goats. Expert advisers told her that it was impossible 
to make cheese from Jersey cows, but she determined to keep Jerseys 
aud no others and made excellent cheese in spite of their prognosti- 
cations. Only once was she worsted in her scheme of reform, and that 
was in her encounter with ‘Old Jerry,” who had worked for 50 years 
at Littlecote and declining altogether to be either retrenched or reformed, 
continues, one gathers, to sweep up leaves and wheel his barrow as of 
old. The Wild Darrell legend is of course dwelt upon and some short 
account of the house itself is given, but the object of the book is to 
encourage productive industries of all kinds, more especially in con- 
nection with large country houses, both during and after the war. 
There are, therefore, sections on goat, rabbit, and pig keeping, on 
dairying, and the intensive culture of vegetables, on war time in country 
districts, and the effect of the war on housekeeping, on the evils of 
absentee landlords and paper currency, both of which should be got 
rid of as soon as possible, together with the present dogmas, doctrines. 
and services of the Church of England, which must give place to a new 
religion which shall direct the “power of thought” in the right channels 
for the people of the 20th century. This, with protection for agriculture, 
decimal coinage, universal military training, and an infusion of common 
sense into the Government, should see us safely launched in the new 
world after the war.

entirely re-arranged and newly set up by him. ‘The educational work

Wiltshire Prisons, The “County Gaol” had long existed at 
Salisbury, on the W. side of river at Fisherton Bridge, where the Clock 
Tower now stands. Harly in the 19th century this building was found 
to be inconvenient and unhealthy, and a new gaol was built on higher 
ground at some distance. At Devizes the “New Prison” had been 
erected in 1810, and some twenty years later the earlier Bridewell in 
the street still bearing that name was converted into a central police 
station. At Marlborough there was a Bridewell which ceased to be 
used in 1853. Both the Fisherton and Devizes Prisons were in full use 
when the question of prison treatment and discipline in connection 


286 Wiltshire Books, Pamphlets, and Articles, 


with the Prison Act passed in 1865 first came before the Wiltshire. 
justices at the June sessions of 1864, and at the January sessions of 
1866 notice of a motion to discontinue the use of Fisherton Gaol was 
given. The debate on this resolution began at Devizes sessions in Jan., 
1867, and the vote in its favour took place in April of the same year. 
Nevertheless the question still continued to afford subject of debate, 
until the last prisoner was removed to Devizes on January 1st, 1870. 
In 1912 an order of the Home Office ordained that convicted prisoners 
should no longer serve their sentences at Devizes, and on the 3rd Feb. 
of that year the prisoners were removed to Shepton Mallet Gaol. The 
history of these transactions is excellently set forth in a paper, “ Wiltshire 
Prisons: The Last Days,” in the Wiltshire Gazette, Sept. 26th and Oct. 
3rd, 1918, by Mr. R. W. Merriman, ex-Clerk of the Peace for the county.

WILTSHIRE NEWSPAPERS—PAST AND PRESENT. 


Part III. 
“THE NEWSPAPERS OF SOUTH WILTS. 


By Mrs. Herpert Ricuagrpson, B.A., sometime Scholar of St. Hugh’s 
College, Oxford. 

The history of the South Wilts newspapers forms an interesting 
and important section of the larger history of the newspapers of 
the county as a whole. It is proposed to deal with this section as 
exhaustively as available data admit, treating not only of the 
actual newspapers, on a strict definition, which once existed or | 
still exist in the southern part of the county, but also of such 
periodical publications as have appeared from time to time, which, 
though not quite technically newspapers, are yet on the border 
line of the definition and have real interest from the journalistic, 
historical, or political point of view, 

Allowing this latitude of definition, the subject may be grouped 
under four distinct headings — | 

1, The earliest Wiltshire newspaper, and other short-lived 
Salisbury papers of the eighteenth century. 
2. The oldest existing Wiltshire newspaper—the Salisbury | 
and Winchester Journal. | 
3. The Salisbury Times and other Salisbury papers of the 
nineteenth century. | 
4. Wilton and Warminster papers.

The earliest Wiltshire newspaper, The Salisbury Post Man, asmall 
folio publication of 1715—16 c¢., of which only two copies are 
known to exist, has au interest out of all proportion to its size and 
scanty file. The two existing copies! are both duplicates of the 
first number, the one perfect, the other minus its last leaf. Hatcher, 
in his History of Salisbury,? mentious a copy “in my possession ” 
of “No. 40 for March 1st, 1716,” but all efforts to trace this later 
number have proved fruitless. From the available copies of the 
first number and from other sources, it is, however, possible to 
piece together some facts concerning this important early provincial 
newspaper and its enterprising promoter, Samuel Farley. 

The Salisbury Post Man is a small folio publication, measuring 
114 inches by 7, identical in size with the oldest of all existing 
English newspapers (as it was at that date), 7’he London Gazette, 
but containing a sheet and a half instead of Zhe Gazette's usual 
half-sheet, six pages instead of two. ‘The reverse of the title-page 
is blank, but the other pages are printed in two columns with a 
five-eighths of an inch wide margin to the page. The type is bold 
but dirty, a defect for which the printer apologises in a naive 
postscript on his last page:—‘N.B. You are desir’d not to take 
Notice of the Foulness of the Character, having received theDamage 
in carriage and will take some time for cleaning. Vale!” The 
paper itself is hand-made, thick and of fair quality, the lines marked 
by the sewing-wires about an inch apart, and is further water; 
marked? by a large device of a shield bearing crossed batons tipped 
with flewrs-de-lis, enclosed in two acanthus leaves and surmounted 
by a crown. The ornamentations of the title-page are the con- 
ventional newspaper wood-cuts (a little “ damaged,” like the type), 
on the left a mounted post man, whipping up his horse, and on 
the right a three-masted ship in full sail. The title-page itself 
runs as follows :—

Salisbury was fortunate in acquiring a local newspaper at so | 
early a date. The English county press was in 1715 hardly out | 
of its infancy. In most localities news was still conveyed through | 
the medium of the written newsletter, which the county gentleman | 
of means received weekly from the office of some professional | 
London newswriter,! while the poor provincial was mainly de- 
pendent on the few London papers to be seen at the local coffee- | 
houses, ab the bookseller’s, and at the barber's, or on what his | 
relatives in town might send him.2 But in 1695 the severe | 
Printing Act of 1661 (limiting presses to London, York, and the |

two Universities, and otherwise restricting the provincial printer) 
had finally lapsed, never to be renewed. And since that date a 
demand for news had been arising throughout provincial England 
which was bound sooner or later to be supplied. It was a demand 
which took the form of an absorbing interest in contemporary 
politics, due mainly to the growth of the Jacobite cause, and to the 
possibility of an invasion which might at any moment chanve the 
centre of political interest from London and the battlefields of the 
Netherlands to the English counties. ‘This imperative demand for 
news the pioneers of provincial journalism, such men as Bonny of 
Bristol or Bliss of Exeter, strove with more or less suecess to 
meet: and among them few embarked on more gallant ventures 
or made more mark on early provincial history than Samuel Farley, 
the promoter of The Salisbury Post Man, His career is of sufficient 
interest to follow in detail. 

The earliest member of the Farley family who can be traced is 
Thomas Farley, of Bosbury, near Ledbury, in Herefordshire, His 
son James was apprenticed at Bristol to Thomas Chester on August 
16th, 1559, and took the freedom of the city iv 1568. He was 
buried at St. John’s, Bristol, in November, 1605, his wife having 
died June 13th, 1598. George Farley was also buried there in 
1566. | 

On September 5th, 1664, one Jerome Farley was bound apprentice 
to the Stationers’ Company in London. It is not possible to es- 
tablish a connection between this Jerome and the Bristol Farleys, 
‘though the presumption is that he was a member of the same 
family. If so, we may take the presence of his name among the 


1 No writer on the newspaper has dealt at any length with the life of 
Samuel Farley. Existing authorities are:—Dr. Oliver’s brief article, No. 
13 of Hxon Biographies in Trewman’s Exeter Hlying Post, Feb. 15th, 1849; 
another short biography in Dr. 'l’. N. Brushfield’s Zife and Bibliography of 
Andrew Brice; and the Rev. John Ingle Dredge’s Devon Booksellers and 
Printers (a valuable list of Devon-printed works). Additional data are 
here supplied by a study and comparison of the existing Iarley papers, and 
those by which they were influenced or on whose lines they were modelled, 
in the British Museum, bristol Public Library, Exeter Public Library, and 
Library of the Devon and Lixeter Institution; and by research in the 
Stationers’ Hall Records. 


322 - Wiltshire Newspapers—Past and Present. 


Stationers’ Records at this early date as an additional proof that 
printer’s ink was in the Farley blood. Jerome did not, however, | 
later become a member of the company, and whatever his printing 
activities in the early years of Charles II.’s reign may have been, 
they could not, under the provisions of the Printing Act, have 
been exercised in the provinces. Neither could they have included 
any newspaper work, for the newspaper was then practically a 
Government monopoly? and the written newsletter consequently a 
far more potent agent for the dissemination of news than the 
journal, 

At what date the Farley family ae to Devonshire i 1s also 
unknown, A modern descendant of Samuel Farley claims him as 
a Devonshire man, and there were certainly Farleys in Devonshire 
by the early years of the eighteenth century. The will of John 
Farley, of East Ogwell, Devon, was proved in 1710, and that of 
Henry Farley, of North Tawton, Devon, in 1718. While St. Paul’s 
register, Exon,” has the entry, “Sarah, daughter of Samuel F arley, 
baptized 16th October, 1699”; and St. Martin’s, Exon, “Samuel, 
son of Mr. Edward Farley, baptized 20th October, 1727; Samuel 
Farley, buried November Ist, 1727.” 

Samuel Farley himself was established as a printer at Exeter 
before the close of the seventeenth century. In 1698 he printed, - 
as partner with Samuel Darker, a Sermon preached at Dartmouth 

“on July 24th, 1698, by the Rev. Humfry Smith. The partnership 
probably began in that year, as other works of 1698 bear Darker’s 
name only, and continued till 1700, the joint names of the two 
appearing in 1699 and 1700, after which date Darker’s name 
disappears, 

In 1701 Farley printed foe first edition of Prince’s Worthies of 
Devon. This was a folio edition, tastefully and clearly printed, 
with excellent cuts of the coats of arms of the various families 
dealt with, and was the most important work that had yet issued

from the Exeter Press. Its title-page—‘“ Exeter, printed by Sam 
Farley for Awnsham and John Churchill at the Black Swan in 
Pater-Noster Row, London, and Charles Yeo and Philip Bishop 
in Exon.’—shows the beginning of Farley’s long connection 
with Philip Bishop, established as a bookseller at Exeter since 
1697, for whom he printed almost continuously until 1714, and 
with whom he was closely connected in his second newspaper 
venture. Farley’s association with Bishop did not, however, prevent 
his working for other Exeter booksellers, or, at times, in partnership 
with other Exeter printers. In 1707 he printed, in partnership 
with with Jos. Bliss, two pamphlets, “A True and Impartiall 
Account of what occurred at the late Conference at Exon,” and 
“A Defence of the Impartiall Account”: while in 1708 Bliss 
printed Part I. and Farley Part II. of another controversial 
pamphlet entitled “The Plain Truth.” It was this short, partner- 
ship with Bliss which probably gave Farley his first insight into 
newspaper work, and directed his abilities into the channel they 
afterwards took. Bliss, an Exeter printer and coffee-house pro- 
prietor, was the producer of the earliest known Exeter newspaper, 
which also has the honour of being one of the oldest English pro- 
vincial papers. Of this paper, Jos. bilass’s Hxeter Post Boy, one 
known copy (Friday, May 4th, 1711, No. 211”) exists, and it 
is by counting back from this date that we arrive at 1707, the 
year in which Farley was certainly working with Bliss, as the 
probable date of the paper’s inception. 

The whole question as to which is the earliest provincial news-: 
paper is somewhat controversial; but, as there is a strong proba- 
bility that Farley was connected with one and influenced by 
another of the four earliest. papers of this description, it may be 
worth summarizing here? It must first be noted that the method 
of arriving at the date of a newspaper’s first issue by numbering 
back from an existing copy is by no means reliable, The early 
newspapers not only constantly renumbered in the most confusing

2'™he deductions of Mr. J. B. Williams are mainly followed in this 
summary, with some independent conclusions.

way, but often issued irregularly, so that a number cannot be 
certainly regarded as representing a week. Where it is possible 
to compare an earlier number with a later, it will often be found 
that the method of counting back understates rather than overstates 
the age of a paper, a renumbering starting at 1 when some thirty 
or fifty issues of the paper have already appeared. When, however, 
no other evidence exists, the method of numbering back is the 
only practicable one for arriving at a paper’s date, and if musb be 
applied to two of the journals laying claim to be the oldest English 
provincial newspaper. Theclaims of Zhe Worcester Postman to date 
from 1690 and The Stamford Mercury from 1695 can be dismissed 
at once, Under the provisions of the Printing Act no press could 
possibly have existed at Worcester in 1690, while 1695, the year 
of the final lapsing of the act, can hardly have seen the immediate 
establishment of a provincial newspaper. ‘The earliest provincial 
newspapers are, moreover, Jacobite,! and no such paper would have 
been allowed to appear in 1695 when the policy of the Glorious 
Revolution was at its strongest. It is to the closing years of 
William III.’s reign and the early years of Queen Anne that we 
must look for the establishment of the provincial press. The 
Norwich Post, printed by E. Burgess, has first claim. Its earliest 
extant issue is No. 348, April 24th—May 1st, 1708; and by 
counting back we arrive at September, 1701, as its birth-date. 
Next comes Bonny’s Bristol Post Boy, of which the earliest known 
copy” is No. 91, for August 12th, 1704. This gives November, 
1702, as the probable date of its first appearance. Crossgrove’s 
Norwich Gazette, of 1706, for long the earliest known provincial 
paper, comes third. And Jos. Bliss’s Exeter Post Boy, assumed as 
dating from 1707 for reasons already given, has the fourth place. 
A letter of Dr. Tamner’s (later Bishop of St. Asaph),® written in 
1706, says, “J am told they print also a weekly paper at Exeter,” 
i Bliss’s Post Boy, with its portrait of Queen Anne, may have been an 
exception. Bliss was later certainly a; Whig (Dr. Brushfield’s Lzfe of 
Andrew Brice).

this, if the Doctor was correctly informed, may have been an un- 
known paper earlier than Bliss’s; but, judging from the unre- 
liability of early numbering and the fact already referred to that 
the counting-back method often post-dates rather than antedates 
a paper, it was quite probably Slvss’s Post Boy, which may date 
from earlier than 1707. It will be seen from the above summary 
that the paper with the surest claim to rank as the earliest English 
provincial newspaper is Lonny’s Bristol Post Boyt The claims of 
its earlier rival are based on conjecture, but of the Bristol Post Boy 
an actual copy exists fully two years earlier in date than those of 
any similar newspaper extant. By this paper, also, Farley was 
probably influenced, so that his newspaper ventures are in touch 
with the earliest efforts of English provincial journalism, 

It is surely safe to assume that Farley’s partnership with Bliss 
must have given him some insight into the working of Bliss’s Post 
Boy—possibly he had at times a hand in the printing of this 
earliest Exeter paper—and turned his thoughts in the direction of 
newspaper enterprise in which he and his descendants were so 
signally to succeed. The Exeter Post Boy was a weekly half-sheet 
in folio (134 inches by 74 inches), printed at the promoter’s Coffee- 
House, The Exchange, in St. Peter’s Church-yard, and adorned on 
the left of its title by a wood-cut of Queen Anne and on the right 
by one of the arms of the city. It was of course modelled, as 
were all the early provincial papers, on the London Post Man, 
Post Boy, and Flying Post, well-known and important papers, all 
dating from 1695. Each of these papers was by this date orna- 
mented with cuts to right and left of the titlh—Fame with a 
trumpet, an editor in his chair, a mounted postman, or a ship in 
full sail—and this style of ornamentation Bliss adopted, and with 
some originality adapted, while Farley was to follow it more closely 
later. 

The Bliss partnership does not seem to have lasted long, however. 
In 1709 Farley was printing independently at an address “ over 
against the New Inn in High Street, Exon.” And in 1711 he 


1Mr. Charles Wells, of Zhe Brestol Times and Mirror, first drew at- 
tention to the existence of this important early newspaper. 


326 Wiltshire Newspapers—Past and Present. 


produced a quarto edition by Reynolds of Pomponius Mela (De 
Situ Orbis, ete.), illustrated with twenty-five maps; an accurate 
and tasteful piece of work which may rank with his Worthies of 
Devon. In this year also he registered one production with the 
Stationers’ Company, whose records, under April 11th, 1711, have, — 
“Sam Farley, Then entred for his copy An Account of the Life and 
Actions of Grace Hooper, the Famous Female Robber who was executed 
at Dorchester on Saturday March the 24th, 1711.” This was the 
_ only work he so protected. It probably had a much larger sale 


than De Situ Orbis, and its issue points to the fact that Farley was | 


already acquiring something of the flair of the newspaper man, the - 
sure knowledge of what the public wants and is prepared to buy. His 
character, as far as one may read it in his work, presents indeed 
an attractive blend of shrewdness and ingenuousness. He is now 
the honest craftsman, delighting in good work for its own sake; 
now the hard-headed man of business, producing only what will 
pay. And all his enterprises are dashed with a certain vigour and 
daring not unworthy of the gallant Venturers of the city with 
which his family had already been and was to be yet more closely 
associated. 

In 1713 he must have left Exeter for a while to pursue the first, 
and finally the most successful, of these newspaper ventures. 
Perhaps there were friends or relatives still left in Bristol whom 
he wished to see. Perhaps he may have heard that there was an 
opening there for another paper besides, or in the place of, Bonny’s 
Bristol Post Boy. ‘This is of course conjecture, ‘The facts are 
these. The Rev. Ingle Dredge’s records of Exeter printing show 
only two works issuing from Farley’s press in 1713, a 
Sermon preached at Truro on April 30th, 1713, (mo date of 
publication, presumably the same year), and a further pamphlet | 
‘in defence of The Plain Truth of 1708. Meanwhile in Bristol | 
Bonny’s newspaper had presumably come toanend. No copy can 
be traced later than May 3lst, 17121 And in 1713 Farley’s 
Bristol Postman appeared. The earliest copy extant bears date

has “seen a number” for that date. 


By Mrs. Herbert Richardson. 327 


July 25th, 1713, and is No. 24!; this, if the numeration is reliable, 
gives February,1713,as the date of the paper’s inception. Assuming 
this to be correct, Farley must have left Exeter early in 1713, and 
devoted the first weeks of the year to launching his new enterprise, 
returning some time after April to his Exeter press, whence issued 
the sermon and pamphlet referred to above. 

It would be interesting to find that Farley took over Bonny’s 
paper, and that his venture was thus directly connected with so 
early a provincial journal. We may assume that The Bristol Post 
Boy had hardly died (as Farley’s Salisbury Post Man must have 
done) for lack of support. Bristol, at that date the second city of 
the kingdom, with its large and wealthy business population, could 
surely have maintained so useful an institution as a local newspaper 
for more than ten years. But whether Farley took over The Post 
Boy as a “ going concern ” and improved upon it, or started his own 
journal independently of an already defunct predecessor, he was 
certainly influenced by the earlier paper. 

Bonny’s Bristol Post Boy had been, like most early eighteenth 
century journals? a weekly half-sheet in folio, 12$ inches by 

2 inches, printed on both sides of an exceedingly coarse 
paper with no apparent water-mark. The four existing copies 
show its promoter to have possessed the true journalistic sense. 
All are dated Saturday to Saturday, except that for September 7th 
to 10th, 1709, which runs Wednesday to Saturday, For a time at 
least, therefore, Bonny must have issued twice weekly, and con- 
temporary history and the contents of this number suggest that 
he did so to meet the demand for news created by the Malplaquet 
Campaign. Farley’s later newspaper policy, in issuing three

2 The first English newspapers, issued by Dutch printers in Holland in 
1620, had been half-sheets in folio. From 1622 to 1665, however, all journals 
had been newsbooks, in pamphlet not leaf form. But with the advent of 
The London Gazette in 1665 the half-sheet in folio again appeared, and the 
newspaper was technically a ‘‘ paper,” though the newsbook form in some 
instances still survived. 3

of the Rebellion of ’Fifteen, is a similar instance of what, at that 
date, one can justly describe as keen journalism. 

The Post Boy’s title, following closely the usual headings of 
London papers of the day, ran as follows : — | 
The Bristol Post Boy, | Giving an Account of the most 

Material News both / Foreign and Domestick. / 

Farley changed the Post Boy to a Post Man, adapted the phrasing 
of its title,and gave the public twelve small quarto pages, 104 inches 
by 7% inches, instead of one simall folio sheet, at the low price of 
14d. He still kept to the weekly issue, and added to the attraction — 
of his new publication by the use of ornamental cuts, one of which, | 
a repeatedly-used initial S. with a ship in the lower corner, is from ~ : 
a good block and quite charming. The paper definitely conveys | 
the impression of being a conscious improvement on its predecessor. 
It was printed on a good paper, with no apparent water-mark, 
slightly thicker and coarser than that of The Salisbury Post Man, 
and infinitely better than that of the earlier Post Boy, Its title 
is worth noting, as a comparison between the three early Farley 
papers presents many points of interest.* :—

Jos. Bliss had been original enough not to copy) of the mounted 
postinan on the left and ship in full sail on the right. The postman 
faces to the right, and the ship sails on a rough sea; both cuts are 
of much poorer quality than the initial S already referred to. The 
paper is full of foreign news and of long reports of Scottish affairs. 
There is practically no local news (and only one local advertisement), 
nor of course anything in the nature of an editorial with reference 
to the Exeter or Salisbury ventures. 

Judging by the high standard of the existing copies, Ze Bristol 
Post Man must have been an unqualified success; so much so, that 
Farley could safely leave it and return to his press at Exeter 
before the close of the year. Probably he left it in the hands of 
his sons Samuel and Felix, who we know were in partnership with 
him in 17181 and possibly earlier, and who presumably occupied 
the premises near the Church in St. Nicholas Street. The sermon 
and pamphlet referred to show Farley to have been back in Exeter 
in the latter part of 1713. And here,in 1714, he was again con- 
cerned in a newspaper enterprise, 

This was The Exeter Mercury? of which No. 1 appeared on 
September 24th, 1714. The Mercury was a weekly paper of six 
(occasionally eight) pages, two columns to the page, measuring 113 
inches by 114 inches—a generous measure of contents, it may be 
noted, on the lines of Zhe Bristol Postman. It was well printed on 

a good thick paper (not unlike that of The Salisbury Post Man) 

‘with a small round water-mark whose symbols are indecipherable, 

Its title-page runs as follows :—

Weekly Price Three Half Pence / Friday, September 24th,

To either side of the title are the familiar wood cuts, on the left | 
a ship in full sail and on the right a postman blowing his horn, | 
both similar to The Salisbury Post Man cuts but not identical, the 
Exeter postman in particular being from a better block, with horse | 
and saddle-bag well marked. Above the name of the printer is — 


an elaborate monogram of two P.B:s (one reversed) intertwined. 


Its contents, like those of The Bristol Post Man, comprise foreign 
and Scottish, but practically no local news, though there are more ~ 
local advertisements than in the Bristol paper, and the weekly 
list of books and pamphlets, especially those locally printed, is very 
interesting. All the news is taken from the sources specified in 
the title-page of The Bristol Postman —The Gazette, Evening Post, 
Dormer’s and other news letters, etc. 

Dr, Oliver (Farley’s earliest biographer) definitely asserts that | 
Farley started Zhe Mercury and later passed it to Philip Bishop. | 
The title-page quoted leads apparently to a contrary conclusion. | 
But the following notice in the issue for September 30th, 1715, — 
definitely proves Farley to have been the printer :— 

“Exon Sept. 30.—This is to certify all my News-Customers that Iam _ 
come to an agreement with Mr. Bishop (to save double Charges) That | 
he should always print the News; and you shall be as duly served | 
with this as hitherto with mine; and abstracted from the same | 
papers as mine ever was; Not but that I continue on all other 
Business, and shall Print any Advertisements single. If this be 
acceptable, ’twill be very obliging to your Humble Servant, Sam. 
Farley.” : 

The confusion is not indeed so real as it-appears. Bishop was | 

an Exeter bookseller for whom Farley constantly printed. Owing | 
to the close connection between the two, Farley’s press had probably 
been moved from the address in High St., “ over against the New 
Inn,” to premises adjoining or forming part of Philip Bishop’s 
in St. Peter’s Church-yard. Bishop was a purveyor both of 
pamphlets and newspapers, and by this time possessed, as one 
gathers from his advertisements, a considerable business in Exeter. 


Before the close of 1714 he must have decided to launch-out as a |

printer! also, and either started a press of hisown or taken over 
part of Farley’s. It was in the dual capacity of printer and book- 
seller that Bishop continued The Hxeter Mercury after Farley’s 
departure for Salisbury, and the agreement quoted must have been 
influenced by the older printer’s new plans. It is noteworthy that 
the success of Zhe Mercury was by this time assured, as Bishop 
almost immediately on Farley’s departure ventured on two weekly 
issues, the paper avpearing after October 14th, 1715, on Tuesdays 
as well as Fridays. 

Farley embarked on his third venture in September or October, 
1715,taking his own press* with him to Salisbury as his ingenuous 
postscript? to the first number of The Salisbury Post Man (already 
quoted) proves, although it 1s just possible that he had already set 


up his first page in Exeter, with the idea of thus saving time and 


launching his paper immediately on his arrival. He certainly had 


_ great hopes of his new enterprise. His title-page asserts that the 


paper will be “made public in every Market Town Forty Miles 
distant from this City ; and several will be sent as far as Exeter,”’ 
and he must obviously have reckoned on the support of his old 
“ News-Customers”’ in Bristol and Exeter as well as on that of the 


‘Salisbury public. 


A close examination of The Salisbury Post Man shows its 
similarity with the two earlier Farley Papers. The stock phrase- 
ology,“ Material Occurrences, Foreign and Domestick,” etc., is used 
in the title-page of each paper; in each the wood-cuts of ship and

_ however, contains an advertisement for October 22nd, 1714, of a pamphlet 
_ “Printed by P. Bishop. i 


2 The moving of a hand press in the early eighteenth century was no such 


difficult matter. Farley’s old partner, Bliss, in a subsequent contest with 


Philip Bishop over “The Sale of News in the town of Taunton” gives 


' notice that he will be “there with a Printing Press in order to serve the 
game town and print the same twice every week if encouraged.” 


$This naive apology for the dirty condition of the printer’s type recalls 


| the list of Arrata at the end of Farley’s Worthies of Devon, which begins 


with lengthy accuracy, but after proceeding some way ends abruptly thus :

further ray of light on Farley’s personality.

postman appear to right and left (in the case of The Exeter Mercury | 
to left aud right) of the title; the cuts in all three papers are _ 
similar, though not identical, and the contents of two, Z’he Salisbury 
Post Man and Bristol Post Man, are ornamented with additional 
cuts of some merit; the paper on which The Salisbury Post Man 
is printed is, as in the case of the two other journals, of good 
quality (though, again, each paper varies in water-mark and width | 
of the space between the lines made by the sewing wires); while 


in all three the newsis gathered from the same sources, 7’he Hvening © | 
Post, written news-letters, etc.), the price in each case is three-hali- | 
pence, and the contents (twelve pages quarto in Zhe Bristol Post | 
Man aud six pages folio in The Hueter Mercury and Salisbury Post ~ : 
Man), a generous quota for the money. | 

The Salisbury Post Man seems in fact to have been the ripe f 
effort. of Farley’s newspaper experience, and the most ambitious | 
of his early journalistic enterprises. Influenced probably by the | 
success of The Haxeter Mercury, which, as has been noted, had just | 
transformed itself from a weekly into a twice-weekly, Farley bravely | 
decreed for his new venture a thrice-weekly issue, If Bonny, of | 
Bristol,could dare a twice-weekly issue for his Post Boy in 1709, to | 
follow the Malplaquet campaign, Farley, printing six years later, 


1It is curious to find that the cut which heads the news on the third 
page of The Salisbury Post Man, an oblong device (5% inches by 14 inch) | 
of elaborate birds and scrolls, is absolutely identical with a cut which | 
ornaments a later paper of Jos. Bliss’s, The Protestant Mercury or Exeter | 
Post Boy. Both blocks were presumably Exeter made. : 

The Protestant Mercury is an interesting paper which Dr. Brushfield | 
regards as a later rival of The Haxeter Mercury, and Mr. J. B. Williams | 
maintains (in Notes and Queries, Oct. 7th, 1916) is merely a continuation | 
of Bliss’s earlier Huxeter Post Boy with a prefix added “to the original | 
catch-word.” The balance of evidence from The Protestant Mercury itself | 
is in Dr. Brushfield’s favour. It is an obvious imitation of Bishop’s paper. | 
Not only are the ship and post-boy cuts similar and similarly placed and | 
entirely different from the royal portrait and city arms of Bliss’s earlier. | 
Post Boy, but the printer’s name is surmounted by an unwarrantable | 
imitation of Bishop’s monogram, the intertwined P.B.s varied only by the | 
addition of two small birds, The arrangement of the heading and size Of | 
the word “ News” further imitate the Mercury, and the defiant phrasing of | 
the contents bill, ‘impartially collected from the Hvening Post, etc.” (the | 
list is practically identical with that drawn on by Bishop) “so that no other | 
can pretend to have a better collection,” has the ring of the rival paper.

might well launch his thrice-weekly Post Man with sanguine hopes 
of success, for he had chosen a moment of yet more absorbing 
interest for its appearance. On September 14th (O.S.—Sept. 25th, 
N.S.) the Earl of Mar had raised the Jacobite standard at Braemar 
and the rebellion of the Fifteen had begun. Public excitement 
would surely afford full support to a paper dealing with the pro- 
gress of the rising. 

On Saturday, September 27th, accordingly, Zhe Salisbury Post 
Man was to have appeared. The contents of the first number 


“present, however, a strange discrepancy. They are compiled from 


the usual authorities—“So far The Evening Post,’ “ All from the 
Written Letter,” etc.—but the date-headings of the paragraphs 
run “ Hdinburgh, Nov. 12th,” “ Paris, Nov. 23rd,” ‘‘ Hague, Nov. 
24th,” “London, Nov. 24th,” and so forth, and prove beyond 
doubt that the paper cannot possibly have appeared as dated on its 
title-page. The news itself explains this remarkable disagreement 
in dates: it contains an account of ‘“‘ My Lord Duke of Argyle’s” 
engagement with the “ Rebels” on Nov. 13th and 14th, in which 
“for some time our dragoons gave no quarter,” a report from 
London that “the two great Actions with the Rebels in Lancashire 
and Scotland are still the subject of all Conversations,” and a “ List 
of the Prisoners taken at Stirling’,’ One is forced to the conclusion 
that Farley had intended bringing out his paper on September 
27th, and even set up his first sheet in type for that purpose, but 
that the slow march of events had stayed bis hand, Day after 
day be must have waited for news of a decisive engagement with 
the Jacobite rebels, biding his time deliberately through the tense 
excitement of October and November, until the battles of Sheriff- 
muir and Preston were fought at last, and he could bring out his 
first number with news for which a nation was waiting.’ It was, 
in fact, a record first number at which Farley was aiming, and his 
policy is yet another proof of the importance he attached to his 

1The duplicate first number of The Post Man confirms the discrepancy 


in dates, which is not due, as might be surmised, to a later number being 
folded in with an earlier title. A comparison with other early provincial 


| newspapers reveals, moreover, no single number dated so diversely in its 
' cover and contents. The explanation can only be that given.

latest paper, while it is quite in keeping with the true journalistic 
flair his work as a whole reveals. As The Post Man's final 
paragraph of news is headed “ London, Nov. 24th,” the first number 
must have appeared on Saturday, Nov. 25th, when the third post 
for the week had duly arrived. | 
The identification of the premises on which Farley’s Salisbury 
Post Man was first printed is a question of much interest. The 
“‘ Office adjoyning to Mr. Robert Silcocks, on the Ditch in Sarum” — 
was in all probability situated in the tenement at the“extreme | 
end of the alley that runs between the present premises of Zhe’ 
Salisbury and Winchester Jowrnal and those of Messrs. Brown & Co., 
on the Canal. This tenement is now roughly divided, part being 
in the oceupation of Messrs. Bennett Bros. and part in that of | 
Messrs. Brown & Co. But it is obvious that both portions origin- 
ally formed one house, and about this the earliest traditions of 
Salisbury printing still cling. ) 
Evidence for the assumption that Farley’s press of 1715—16 | 
was here set up is derived from a study of the Salisbury Corporation _ 
rate-books and from the premises themselves. The rate-books of 
1715 show Mr, Robert Sileocks’ house,! which was in the Dolphin | 
Chequer? of the New St. Ward, to have been highly assessed both for 
land and window tax. Earlier rate-books prove it also to have been | 
in the owner's occupation from about 1704. It was therefore a 
large and well-known house, quite suited for “address” purposes 
as given in Zhe Post Man. ‘ Adjoyning” it on the one side in 
1715 were one lowly rated and two moderately rated tenements 
before a larger house is recorded, and on the other a large house of 
similar size, two small tenements very lowly rated, and then another | 
large house occupied by Mr. Hillman. The Hillman house we can | 
identify later, and this, with the tenements between it and the | 


1 Farley’s name does not of course appear in the rate-books. He was 
presumably tenant only of a portion of the premises, and that for no lengthy 
period. dl

so that the Dolphin chequer must have ineladed the modern Canal.

Silleocks house, we may follow in the rate-books,! dismissing the 
houses on the further side of the Silcocks house, which would give 
us a location round the corner in Catherine Street instead of “on 
the Ditch.” In» 1748, therefore, we find the house of Messrs. 
Hillman and Tatum as the house occupied by Mr. Hillman in 
1715, and that of Mr. Snow as the earlier Sileocks house. One 
large house and one lowly rated tenement are still between them as 
between the Silecocks and Hillman houses of 1715, and one other 
small tenement “adjoyning.’ Now the Hillman and Tatum house 
of 1748 is the building at present occupied by Messrs. Brown and 
Mr. Rambridge. It was then tenanted by “ Messieurs Tatum and 
Still, Apothecaries,” and into it in this year Benjamin Collins, pro- 
prietor of The Salisbury Journal, moved his printing and bookselling 
business from Silver Street. If we assume that the Snow house of 
1745 (the Silcocks house of 1715) was on the site now occupied by 
the present Jowrnal Office, or part of Messrs. Bloom’s, we narrow 
down the area in which the Farley Office may be traced to that part 
of the Canal which lies between the present premises of Messrs. 
Brown and Messrs. Bloom. We may then conclude that one of the 
small tenements between these larger premises— and therefore, pre- 
sumably, down the alley—was that in which Farley first set up 
his press; and the old building at the extreme end certainly seems 
the most likely location. Its character and traditions strengthen 
‘the assumption. In one of its rooms (now forming part of the 
present Journal premises and used for storing paper), a room with — 
a strong floor which would well have carried a hand printing-press, 
an old wood-block for a broadsheet,? of very rough and early type, 
has been found, with other wood-block débris, in one corner of the 
floor. In the gabled rooms above which are entered from Messrs. 
| Brown’s premises, though really forming part of the same building,

Salisbury Journal of 1748 and onwards was indubitably set up and

sometimes in different order at the houses when making his estimate for

Christ. The block was found in two pieces, and has since been mended.

printed—the old criminal broadsheets and notices pasted up by the 
printers still remain upon the doors. 

There seems no doubt that this quaint, and now unfortunately 
dilapidated, old tenement, covered on its further’side with pictu- 
resque overlapping red tiles, was the first home of Salisbury printing. | 
It is thus a rather remarkable fact that the present Salisbury and 
Winchester Journal is printed on premises of which the house 
whence Farley originally issued his Post Man of 1715—16 still 
forms part. 

It is disappointing to find that The Salisbury Post Man, to which | 
its promoter himself attached so much importance and which had — | 
made so dramatic an entry into the newspaper world, cannot have | 
been an unqualified success, After March Ist, 1716, we lose all 
trace of the paper. The issue for that date (mentioned by Hatcher) 
s “No. 40,” and proves that the thrice-weekly issue cannot have 
been regularly adhered to. The quick suppression of the Rebellion | 
of ‘Fifteen would in some measure account for this, but Uhe Post | 
Man seems indeed to have been too ambitious in scheme, At a 
time when, even in London, many important papers still kept to 
the twice or thrice-weekly issue,! a newspaper aiming at an ap- 
pearance three times a week in a town which was neither extensive 
in population? nor an important trading centre can hardly have | 
found a ready sale, The position of Salisbury on the great western | 
road, with coaches running daily through it from London to Bath, 
Exeter, Southampton, and elsewhere, may also have adversely ! 
affected the success of its first newspaper; for the many coaching | 
inns in the city must all have been well provided with the London 
journals, and the citizen would still consult these in the coffee

1702, and an evening paper, The Evening Post, with the Historical Account, |

of the number of houses in the city in the year 1753 gives 8760 as the popu- | 
lation at that date, an estimate arrived at by assuming 6 persons in each | 
house, and multiplying the number of houses, 1460, by this figure. A census | 
of 1775, however, gives 6856 only (see Hatcher, and Easton’s Salisbury | 
Guide). i

| rooms of the Angel, the Antelope, the White Hart, or the Black 
- Horse. 


Judging by the absence of all later traces of the paper, it is 


most probable that before the end of 1716 Samuel Farley definitely 
_ abandoned the enterprise of The Salisbury Post Man and decided 
_—his Leeter Mercury being also now in other hands—to devote his 


future energies to the development of his earliest newspaper ven- 


ture, The Bristol Post Man. It was in Bristol certainly that he 


_ permanently settled as a printer, working after 1718 in partnership 


with his sons-‘Samuel and Felix. 
His connection with Exeter was almost severed. The Rev. Ingle 
Dredge’s list shows no book or pamphlet printed in Exeter by 


Samuel Farley after 1715, and it is not until May, 1723, that he 
seems for a time to, have been back in the city, where there was 


indeed little further scope for his energies. The great Exeter 
printer, Andrew Brice—producer at that date of 7he Postmaster, 


and later of the important and long-lived Brice’s Weekly Journal 
| —was now in the local newspaper field, in addition to George 
| Bishop, Philip Bishop’s son, and Philip’s old rival, Jos. Bliss. It 


is perhaps characteristic of Farley’s journalistic daring that he 


should, after so long an interval, have attempted once again to 


capture the Exeter newspaper public. In May, 1723, he com- 
menced another local paper, Farley’s Hxeter Jowrnal +—* Exon: 
Printed by 8. Farley, over against the Guild Hall ”’—a not entirely 
typical Farley production, remarkable, when compared with his 
earlier journals, for its absence of any wood-cut ornamentation. It 
is very probable, however, that Farley's son Kdward had really 


'more to do with the paper than his father; and some time in the 


latter half of 1725? Samuel definitely transferred his Hxeter Journal 
to Edward Farley and finally severed his connection with Exeter, 


1 An existing copy—No. 104, for Friday, May 14th, 1725—gives, as far as 
the counting-back system may be relied on, May, 1723, as the date of the 
paper's inception. 


* Dr. Brushfield says ‘‘ between June 4th, 1725, and May 20th, 1726”; but 
a copy in the Burney Collection (British Museum) for Jan. 6th, 1726, is 


“printed by E. Farley,” showing the transfer to have been earlier. 


338 Wiltshire Newspapers—Past and Present 


as in 1716 he had done with Salisbury Henceforward his interests 
and printing activities lay exclusively in Bristol, the city with 
which his family was originally connected, and which had since 
1713 so well supported his earliest and most successful newspaper. 

The Bristol Post Man seems to have steadily endured during 
these years. But in 1725 an important Government measure 
affected the newspaper world. Hitherto newspapers had been 
reckoned, for stamp duty purposes, as pamphlets, and taxed at 3s. 
the impression. Now, however, the duty was imposed at the rate 
of a penny the whole and a half-penny the half-sheet, and news- 
paper printers thus had new conditions of issue to deal with. It 
was this change which probably led Farley to abandon The Exeter 
Journal, leaving Edward to deal in Exeter with the new situation, 
aud to concentrate his energies on his more important Bristol 
venture. He at once changed the three-halfpenny Post Man, 
‘“geal’d and deliver’d for the Country at Two Pence,” into Farley's 
Bristol Newspaper, a typical Farley journal, four pages, 104 inches by 
81, for two pence, “ Containing the most Genuine occurrences 
Foreign and Domestick”’ (the old phrasing), and ornamented with 
a wood-cut view of the city of churches. It was printed “at my 
house below the Dolphin in Wine Street,” or “at my house near 
Newgate in Wine St.,” and has, with various changes of title and | 
absorption of other journals, survived until to-day as The Bristol 
Times and Mirror? 

The later career of Samuel Farley and the fortunes of his news- 
papers concern the student of Bristol rather rather than of 
Salisbury local history, just as the subsequent printing activities 
of other members of the family connect themselves with that of 
Exeter and Bath. The exact relationship of the many later

rate-books, holding a very smal] tenement on the Canal from 1736 to about | 
1745. But his business or connection with the Farley family are not | 
traceable. .

Farley, both of whom seem to have got into political trouble at Exeter |

also refer to Felix of Bristol, but their references are vague and inaccurate. |

Farleys to each other and to Samuel himself is a question still of 
some obscurity. 

Samuel died somewhere about the year 1732.1 His career up 
to 1725 has been followed here in detail from the special point of 
view of his position as pioneer printer in the history of the Wiltshire 
newspaper. But it is not perhaps too much to say that West of 
England journalism still owes much to his vigour and enterprise, 
and that his very real importance in the larger history of the 


English provincial press deserves fuller recognition than it has yet 
received. 


THE DETECTOR (1786—7), 


The Detector is a rare little publication of which only three copies? 
—the consecutivé issues Nos. I, IL., and I1I.—apparently exist, 
In size it approximates rather to the contemporary magazine (The 
Gentleman's Magazine, London Magazine, and so forth) than the 
newspaper, as it is a small octavo publication measuring 8? inches 
by 54, and containing sixteen pages. It has not, however, the 
rough blue-grey cover of the eighteenth century magazine; both 
cover and contents are printed on the same hand-made paper of 


fair quality, water-marked with a large flewr-de-lys and some un- 


decipherable letters. Its title-page runs as follows ;—

Green’s Bibliography of Somerset mentions a topical poem printed at Bath 
by Felix Farley, “at Shakespeare’s Head without West Gate,” in 1733; and 
the Victoria County History of Somerset adds that in 1741 “S. and E, 
Farley had succeeded to the business.” A copy of Yarley’s Bath Journal 
for October 18th, 1756(Vol. I.), no number given, is in the British Museum, 
bound up with the Bath Advertiser for 1755—6, it is endorsed “ Bath :

The second number also states thal Zhe Detector will be “ Pub= 
lished by Subscription, on the first Monday in every Month for 
Twelve Months certain,” and “Subscriptions, at shillings 
for the year, taken in at in Salisbury ” (the 
blanks are not filled in). 

The Detector's contents show that its ostensible object of “Holding 
the Mirror up to Nature” is an egregious under-statement. It is | 
in fact an anonymously written and anonymously printed® publi- | 
cation of peculiarly scurrilous and vindictive character, attacking | 
nearly every person of note in contemporary Salisbury.

against the Bute and Grafton Ministries and the younger princes 
of the house of Brunswick. It is a poor travesty of The Letters of 
Junius and The North Briton, with Mr. William Hussey, the City 
Member, as Grafton, and Benjamin Charles Collins, proprietor of 
The Salisbury and Winchester Journal, as the Duke of Cumberland 

aud spite and meanness and untruthfulness supply im it the place 
of the splendid indignation and literary vigour of its great originals. 

Each number begins with what we should now call an ‘“ open 
letter,” to the “Printer” of Salisbury, the Mayor or the Corporation. 
An account of New Sarum, of “ Colossus,’’ its member, or an attack 
on the “ Usurer” follows; and each number ends with a section 
entitled “ Miscellaneous,” wherein practically every one of note in 
the city, not already mentioned, is impartially abused. The persons 
so grossly libelled are designated by cognomens, or (in the usual 
eighteenth century style) by the first and last letters of their 
names only. But we may, with reference to Hatcher’s History of 
Salisbury and the files of The Salisbury and Winchester Journal for 
1786—7, easily elucidate the Detector’s vague and invariably 
offensive allusions. 

“Colossus” is Alderman William Hussey, city member from 
1774 to 1813. The “ Usurer ” is Benjamin Collins, banker, pur- 
veyor of patent medicines and perfumery and proprietor of The | 
Salisbury and Winchester Journal, who died in 1785; the “ Printer 
ofS .. . y,”’ is his son, Benjamin Charles Collins. The “no 
longer worshipful” Mayor is Alderman George Maton, previously 
Chamberlain of Salisbury, a city wine merchant. The ‘ Despotic 
Leader of the Corporation” is Jacob, 2ud Karl of Radnor, Recorder 
of thecity. The Post-Master is Charles Mayo Keele, who succeeded 
his father, Daniel Keele, in that capacity in August, 1786. ‘“ Long- 
ears” is Alderman Thomas Long, a cabinet-maker, Chamberlain 
of the city during Maton’s year of office. The Deputy-Recorder, 
Sir Alexander Powell. The clergyman “not likely to give alms to 


the poor,” is the Rev Edmund Benson of the Close. And the

Collins and Davies, managers of the Salisbury Theatre These | 
are the most notable persons attacked—the two first with peculiar | 
venom, and after them, perhaps, the theatre managers—but many | 
other citizens of the day share in the little magazine’s wholesale | 
abuse, 

The cognomens quoted give a general idea of The Detector’s styl 
which may be further illustrated. by one typical specimen, its — 
preposterously unjust description of Benjamin Collins, a man 
nearly,two years in his grave at the time of the paper’s appearance:— 


“T knew the man well_—Sprung from the dregs of the people he was 
turned loose upon the world to shift for himself as soon as he could | 
craw].—His looks were shrewd, sly, methodical, and plodding. Practice | 
had fixed upon his passive face the hollow varnish of a servile smile, — 
which covered a depth of design and a latitude of principle equal to | 
any attempt.—Early initiated in every species of low fraud and chicane, _ 
these invariably governed the conduct of his life.—It would exhaust | 
language, perhaps, to do justice to so complicated a character !—a | 
character in which extortion oppression and hypocrisy were wonderfuly | 
blended and displayed.” | 


The questions of date and probable authorship of this scurrilous — 
publication may be briefly considered. The general references to | 
people of note in local history—to the mayoralty of Alderman 
Maton, the doings of the theatre managers,” and so forth—clearly 
assign The Detector to the winter of 1786—7; while the only | 


definite date in the three existing numbers gives a clue to the 


months of publication. This is “Jan. Ist, 1787,” which appears ab | 
the foot of an “open letter” in No. II. Now the “ first Monday” | 
in January, 1787, was Jan, 1st, but the second number of a new |) 
magazine would quite probably appear a few days late, so that we ip 
may fairly assume No. IT. to have been the issue for January, 1787, | 
and thus arrive at December, 1786, to February, 1787, as the | 
probable dates of the magazine's appearance. 

The date of publication throws also an interesting side-light on | 
the “Author’s” choice of title. The pseudonym Detector was not 
an unusual one in eighteenth century politics, but it became of

note as a frequent signature to letters and pamphlets in the long © 
controversy which raged over the actions of Warren Hastings as 
Governor General of Bengal. In 1786 Burke had moved the im- 
peachment of Hastings, and the impending trial was a matter of 
tremendous public interest. The anonymous Detector of Salisbury 
showed some skill in choosing for his title a pseudonym which 
possessed at that date a certain topical familiarity. 

It is not possible to pierce the Detector’s anonymity. No writer’s 
name appears in the existing numbers, except that of “ F. Gerard,” 
who signs a letter in No, I. But F. Gerard was certainly not the 

“Author,” as “Mr. Gerard’s letter” is referred to in No. III. by 
the Detector himself. And the name Gerard is not familiar in local 
history. The files of Zhe Salisbury and Winchester Journal for 
1786—7 do not once mention it in any connection, civic, business, 
or social. Nor does it appear in the earliest Directories! which 
give the names of the Salisbury citizens. It is indeed highly 
probable that “F. Gerard” did not exist, and that the whole paper, 
judging by its style, was the work of one man. We may get no 
nearer that one man’s identity than the assumption that he was a 
personal enemy of Mr. Hussey, of B. C. Collins, or of Collins and 
Davies, the theatre managers, all of whom are attacked with 
peculiar vindictiveness. 

The Detector’s enmity seems to have been stung to this active 
manifestation by the unpopular Act of 1785,? which, while allowing 
for the demolition of the old Council House and the erection of a 
new one, in accordance with the generous proposals of the City 
Recorder, the Earl of Radnor, also provided for the imposition of 
certain tolls per head on cattle offered for sale in the city markets 
and fairs. These tolls were greatly resented both by the majority 
of the citizens and by the graziers attending the markets. And 

‘it is certainly clear from the magazine’s contents that if its 
“Author” had any grievance additional to the mere existence of

Salisbury and its citizens, he found it in this obnoxious Act. It | 
is thus just possible, though hardly likely, that the writer was a | 
city tradesman or local grazier, injured in his pocket by the existing 
system of tolls and the consequent abstention of the cattle-dealers 
from the Salisbury markets. 

If we look, on the other hand, for a clue to authorship in the 
files of The Salisbury and Winchester Journal, on the assumption 
that B. C. Collins must have noticed in his paper the attacks upon 
himself and his family of so vindictive an enemy, we are struck 
by the absence of any reference, direct or indirect, to The Detector. 
Neither the advertisement columns, correspendence, nor city news 
refer to it in any way. The Salisbury and Winchester Journal of 
that date was, however, a widely-circulated newspaper of real 
weight and dignity, and its complete ignoring of so scurrilous a | 
publication was quite in keeping with its general policy. | 

The Detector’s obvious hostility to the theatre managers suggests 
another line of investigation. It is interesting in this connection 
to find confirmation of an existing ill-feeling towards Messrs. | 
Collins and Davies in a pamphlet? of an earlier date, The Contrast, : 
or New Mode of Management. Being a Peep behind the Curtain of | 
the Salisbury Theatre in 1776. Wherein the requisites to form a | 
Brace of Managers . . . are all nicely weigh'd, duly considered | 
and justly display’d . . . by T. Brownsmith, Late Nominal | 
Prompter to the said Theatre. “ Brownsmith,” a rather patent | 
pseudonym, divides between his subjects “pride, impertinence, | 
absence of mind, sullen disposition, ignorance, meanness of spirit | 
and ingratitude,’ and attacks their methods as managers in very | 
scathing terms, In Zhe Detector, with his “vagabonds C ns | 
and D——s,” we may therefore possibly see “ Brownsmith” again | 


attacking his old enemies.®

There is another pamphlet in the British Museum, printed in London, j

Merits of the Salisbury Comedians—which describes the attainments of the |

But in the absence of any clear evidence as to authorship, the 
theory that the writer was a personal enemy of William Hussey’s, 
actuated by mean jealousy of the City Membev’s outstanding merit 
and deservedly popular position in New Sarum, is the most tenable. 
Hussey, as one of the city’s representatives, had been most active 
in presenting to Parliament the Petition which resulted in the 
passing of the offending Act for the erection of a new Council- 
House and the accompanying imposition of market tolls, and he 
is the person most bitterly and repeatedly attacked in Z7’he Detector’s 
three existing numbers. He was moreover a man of vigorous and 
decisive character, uncompromisingly downright in his methods— 
the type of man who does make enemies among those smaller- 
minded than himself. But there is nothing in accessible records, 
or in the traditions of the Hussey family, to show the name of his 
detractor. Considering the general tone and policy of Zhe Detector, 
the preservation of the anonymity of its author is not, however, 
greatly to be deplored. 

The three Detectors here considered seem to be all that have 
survived, It is highly probable that the little magazine died an 
early death as a result of its own venomous character, and that 
the Salisbury citizens of 1787 had sufficient generosity and good 
sense to refuse to encourage the appearance for “ Twelve Months 
certain ”’ of so scurrilous and vindictive a publication. 


THE COUNTY MAGAZINE (1786—92). 


The County Magazine, or as it was later called, The Western 
County Magazine, is an interesting monthly miscellany, now com- 
paratively rare, which was published by Benjamin Charles Collins, 
proprietor of Zhe Salisbury and Winchester Journal. It appeared at 
| a time when the magazine of miscellaneous interest—archeeological, 
historic, anecdotal, and poetic—was enormously popular. Zhe 
| Gentleman’s Magazine had been the pioneer of such publications, 
| but in 1786, when The County Magazine first appeared, there were 


_ numerous similar magazines in existence—Zhe London Magazine,

Town and Country Magazine, Huropean Magazine, Literary Magazine, | 
Critical Review, Lady’s Magazine, Fashionable Magazine, Carlton a 
House Magazine, and many otherst'—and on the ear) lines of 
these Zhe County Magazne was modelled. 

In size The County Magazine was for the first three years of its 
duration, from 1786 to 1788, somewhat unusual, being a quarto 
publication measuring 102 inches by 84, and containing sixteen 
pages. With its issue for January, 1789, however, it reduced itself 
to the conventional size of the late eighteenth century magazine, an 

‘octavo of 84 inches by 6%, containing thirty-two pages—“an 
Alteration requested very generally by many respectable corres- 
pondents and subscribers.” This change seems to have increased 
its circulation, as the Prefaces to the smaller volumes repeatedly 
refer to “a still further Increase of Sale.” The fact that the 
magazine was after 1789 jointly issued by a London printer points 
also in the same direction. | 

It was printed on a white hand-made paper of good quality, | 
with no water-mark visible other than the lines made by the sewing 
wires. Its covers were of the usual stout grey-blue paper that | 
wrapped the eighteenth century magazine,” with advertisements of | 
books, almanacks, patent medicines or perfumery on the last leaf. | 

It is not possible to quote the title page of the first number, | 
surviving copies being naturally in bound-volume form, but this | 
may be taken from a preliminary advertisement in Zhe — | 

and Winchester Journal for February 13th, 1786:—

But from 1789 until its death in 1792 the magazine appears 
under a longer and more varied title, which very clearly sets forth 
its general plan and policy :— i 

The Western | County Magazine, [| For the Year 1789; er.

This comprehensive “Selection” gives a good idea of The County 
Magazine's general contents. But a “Card” in The Salisbury and 
Winchester Journal for August 14th, 1786, further shows that it 
had a distinct bias in favour of contributions of local and arche- 


ological interest, as it specially invited “Communications of the 


learned and ingenious—particularly in 
1. Provincial Biography of celebrated and distinguished 
characters, born in either county or the West of England. 
2. ProvincialTopography, AntiquitiesCuriosities, and Natural 
History. 
3. Provincial Art, Manufactures, and Agriculture.

4. Provincial Occurrences of the last Month. 

5. Provincial Events from the earliest time, 

6. A Table of Meteorology for the last preceding month, 

with such observations as may have occurred.” 

This specialisation in “ provincial” articles makes up a fair — 
portion of the magazine’s contents and gives it peculiar interest. 
It published, for example, from one correspondent, a chronological 
list of occurrences in Salisbury, from the year 1737 onwards. From 
others, accounts of the Wiltshire Moon-rakers, appreciations of 
Old Sarum and Netheravon, lives of Dean Younger, Bishop Douglas, 
Thomas Chubb! of East Harnham, and so forth, Among its 
“weather” articles are some interesting letters describing r1e- 
markable thunderstorms in Wiltshire and similar phenomena. Its 
“natural history ” contributions include some excellent articles on 
English birds. A long and acrimonious controversy over ‘‘a Plan 
for preserving Turnips,” in which many Wiltshire farmers take 
part, finds place in its correspondence section. And the somewhat 
frivolous “ Enigmatical lists” of ladies and gentlemen at Salisbury, - 
Portsmouth, Southampton, Marlborough, Frome, Westbury, etce., 
which appear nearly every month, are ingenious and amusing. 

The remaining contents were, as the title-page of 1789—92 sets 
forth, of the most varied character, only second in interest to the 
provincial and antiquarian contributions. Hach number usually 
begins/on the conventional lines of the eighteenth century magazine, 
with a series of anecdotes, and ends, again conventionally, with 
“ Poetry,” which ranges from indifferent verse and Vauxhall sonys 
to well-chosen extracts from Gray and Cowper. There are in ad- 
dition the usual accounts of matters of real public importance, such 
as the trial of Warren Hastings; or of general contemporary in- 
terest, such as the cutting of the Pitt diamond and the mutiny of 
the sailors of the Bounty; law reports; accounts of recent plays 
and pantomimes; and the “state of the weather” (generally con- 
tributed by the Rev. IT. Malham, of Plymouth), which forms a 
complete forecast for the coming month. From time to time an

interesting Catalogue! of “ New and Secondhand Books” obtainable 
at B. C, Collins’s shop in Salisbury is also added. And four 
illustrations appear, ‘These are two pleasant quarto engravings 
by J. A. Gesse, one from the relievo of Quintus Curtius leaping 
into the gulf, and the other from the statue of Cupid breaking his 
bow—both in the Karl of Pembroke’s collection at Wilton House ; 
and, in the octavo volumes, a poor picture of “the late Sir Charles 
Asgill’s house at Richmond,” and an excellent little medallion 
portrait of the Duke of Bedford, by T. Prattent, “from an original 
model.” 

There is certainly no doubt that the subscribers to The County 
Magazine received generous measure for their monthly: three-pence. 
One cannot trace any notable original contributors. The writers 
generally sign with an initial or a pseudonym, and are content to 


y) 


be included among the “Society of Gentlemen” to whom, in 

accordance with contemporary convention, the authorship was 
attributed. The actual editor was undoubtedly B. C. Collins 
himself. 

After a successful career of seven years, however, Zhe Western 
County Magazine came to a dignified end in 1792. The address to 
“our Subscribers ” at the end of the issue for December, 1792, states 
that, “from the Necessity of directing our Labour speedily to some 
important Objects of a different Nature, we close the present 
Work.” And the valedictory Preface to the last volume is to the 
same effect :— 

“We find ourselves under the Necessity of attending to En- 
gagements of amore important Nature, and therefore close our 
Literary Career under the present form of a general Repository.” 

b. C. Collins was in fact no longer able to devote the necessary 

time and energy to a compilation of this nature. His business, 
both as banker and purveyor of patent medicines and perfumery,” 
“was greatly increasing, ‘The turnover from the latter was at this

date very large, and he was also now contemplating the opening 
of a London office in connection with his Salisbury Bank. | 

The political situation was, moreover, one which at this time 
made great demands upon the press, and Collins’s position as pro- 
prietor of The Salisbury and Winchester Journal must have been 
in itself sufficiently arduons and exacting. Abroad, the progress — 
of the Revolution in France was of absorbing interest, especially 
after January and February, 1793,1 when the Republic formally 
declared war on England, having first “thrown down as its gage 
of battle the head of a king.” At home, Revolution principles 
were speading dangerously, and Associations for the “Defence of 


the government and the constitution,” for the “Protection of — | 


property” and so forth, were constantly being formed, all de- 
manding full publicity and the printing of long lists of signatories 
in the local paper, 

The continuation of leisurely literary work was at this date an 
absolute impossibility for a man of so many activities. And it is 
characteristic of B. C, Collins’s sound business and journalistic 
sense that he brought his literary venture to an end while it was 
still a popular and widely-cireulated publication, and did not wait | 
for public interest in it to wane with the development of the | 
tremendous war on which the country was just entering. 

The Western County Magazine thus maintains throughout its 
seven volumes the same general level of efficiency and interest, 
It deserves remembrance as a happy example of successful mis- 
cellany making in the eighteenth century, but still more as the | 
pioneer Wiltshire magazine to devote itself deliberately to matters | 
of local and archeological interest. And it is not perhaps too 
much to claim that it is, in this unique attention to provincial and 
antiquarian subjects, the spiritual if not the lineal ancestor of the 
present Wiltshire Archeological and Natural History Magazine.

NOTES. 


Plans of Wiltshire Earthworks. Between the years 1901 
and 1909, the Rev. Edward A. Downman, of Laindon, Essex, executed 
for the Society, at a cost of from 1s. 6d. to 2s. each, a series of seventy 
beautifully-drawn plans of all the principal earthworks in Wiltshire, 
exclusive of the ditches and barrows. Each of these plans is ona 
separate sheet, 153in. x 1lin., or in a few cases, double this size, and 
they are now arranged loose in a portfolio in alphabetical order amongst 
the Society’s collection of Drawings and Prints. They are drawn toa 
uniform scale of 25 inches to the mile—based on the Ordnance Survey, 
corrected after personal examination by Mr. Downman. Mr. Downman 
executed a duplicate set of these plans for the London Guildhall 
Library. He has also planned a very large number of other earthworks 
in all parts of England. On each sheet various details as to the 
particular earthwork are noted; its site and defensive capabilities, 
sections of the work, entrances, present condition, other works in the 
neighbourhood, &c., &c. In addition there is a short general account 
of the Earthworks of the county and the classes into which they fall. 
The author without hesitation places Silbury as well as Marlborough 
Castle Mound amongst the Norman works erected after 1066 A.D., an 
Opinion it will be remembered which has been strongly urged by Sir 
William St. John Hope more recently. The list of Norman works or 
“Mote Castles” in Wiltshire, given by Mr. Downman; is as follows :— 
Norwood, Bincknoll, Old Sarum, Stapleford, Silbury, Sherrington, 
Marlborough, West Dean, Devizes, Downton, Ludgershall, Mere, 
Clack, Castle Combe. ‘To these might perhaps be added Great Somer- 
ford Mound, not mentioned by Mr. Downman.

Romano-British Interments at Broad Town. One of 


the large volumes of Canon Jackson’s notes on Wiltshire Parishes— 
that lettered on the outside ‘‘ Wanborough—Wyley,” now in the Library 
of the Society of Antiquaries, contains a copy of a letter from Broad 
Town, which seems worth recording. The writer was a young man, 
grandson of a retired incumbent of Broad Town :— 


“Having received Information that a skeleton had been found on 
the Down by some labourers I examined the spot. About 200 yds. 
from the road I found the skeleton of a person of about 20 years 
of age—bones small—I think afemale. The men in digging broke 
the skull and also a small funeral urn. This skeleton was not 
more than 2 feet from the surface and was covered with a sarsen 
stone about 3ft. thick and 4ft. long. I have got great part of the 
skeleton and fragments of the pottery. With the help ofa plough- 
man and his horses I removed another sarsen stone under which I 
found the remains of another skeleton and to my great joy I found 
a coin in perfect preservation of Antoninus Pius, I believe. It soon 
found its way into my pocket, the ploughman observing ‘O 
Sir, you have worked very hard to take home only a penny.’ 

Wm. Randall Farley, Broad Town, Wootton Bassett, Oct.5th,1859.” 


The coin referred to was pronounced by J. Y. Akerman to be of 
Marcus Aurelius. Canon Jackson appends notes of a subsequent letter 
of Nov. 16th, 1859, from Mr. Farley, in which he gives some particulars 
of the removal of a third sarsen stone—at a depth of 4ft. very black 
earth, under it some bones, two teeth of ox or horse (1), jawbone of 
dog (?), a broken part of a fibula, and quantities of broken pottery. 
The bodies were buried N. and S., with head to north. In each case 
there was astreak of black “ charred’”’ wood, 3ft. long, ‘‘ perhaps the 
shaft of a spear.” ‘The discoveries Jay in a direct line W. to E. The 
skeleton under the first stone was in a crouched position “ with the 
hands raised to the shoulders.” 

It is clear from further letters that the spot was in thearable land in 
“ Broad Town Field,’ just above the hill. The first grave was about 
a furlong from the edge of the hill, the second about 200 yds. to the 
west of the first. At one spot here, above the hill between Clyffe 
Pypard and Broad Town, quantities of Romano-British pottery could 
be found on the surface years ago, before the land was laid down to 
grass. A selection of fragments from this site consisting of examples 
of most of the commoner wares found in North Wilts, thick and thin 
grey and black coated, some with trellis pattern, very coarse thick 
buff or brick coloured, and very thin brick coloured, was sent to Gen. 
Pitt Rivers, about 1878. Heanswered “All this appears to be Romano- 
British ; it is too hard for anything else, and some of the forms are 
distinctly Romano-British.” There are several examples of ‘‘ bead- 
rims.” Thereis no Samian amongst it. Nearly all of it is lathe-turned 
but there is one fragment apparently hand-made of a vessel like the Late 
Celtic shouldered bowl found at All Cannings Cross Farm, described 
by Mrs. Cunnington in Wilts Arch. Mag, xxxvil., 536 and figured in 


354 2 ies. 


Plate IL., fig. 2. It is of the same red coated ware and has the same | 
parallel fluting above the shoulder. Close -by, in the adjoining 
parish of Clyffe Pypard, at “ Cuff’s Corner,” quite a number of inter- 
ments under large sarsen stones were found by the late Mr. H.N. | 
Goddard many years ago. The importance of this Broad Town note 
is that it definitely dates some at all events of these burials under 
sarsens as of the Roman period. Probably the others were also cf 


this time.

Sarsens at Avebury broken up, 1799. The following 
extract from a letter written by William Skeat, tenant of the Manor 
Farm at Avebury, to Sir Richard Holford, Master in Chancery, on | 
Feb. 19th, 1799, was copied by me from the original then in the pos-_ | 
session of Miss Kemm, of the Manor House, Avebury, Dec. 3rd, 1901. | 
It appears to refer to the breaking up of Sarsens on or near the line of | 
the Kennet Avenue, very possibly part of the avenue itself :— | 

“‘T received yours dated ye 12th of ffebruary. These are to acquaint 
- you that there are now Reddy Broke 60 Loads of Sazon Stone, |

Identification of Wiltshire Barrows, It seems well that | 
it should be as widely known as possible that the Salisbury Museum 
has become possessed of a series of the 6 inch Ordnance Maps of Wilts | 
covering all the southern half of the county, south of the Pewsey Vale, | 
and that on these maps the whole of the barrows have been marked | 
with numbers in red ink corresponding with those on the similar set 
of maps for the whole county in the Museum Library at Devizes. These | 
numbers also correspond with those given in ‘‘ A List of Prehistoric, | 
Roman, and Pagan Saxon Antiquities in the county of Wilts,” printed | 
in Wilts Arch. Mag., xxviii., 153 (Dec., 1913). It is therefore now | 
possible for anyone interested in any individual barrow to consult | 
these maps either at Devizes or Salisbury and having found the number | 
attached to it—to look out the reference in the “ List” under the name | 
of the Parish in which vt occurs, where he will find a short statement | 
of what is known about it, and references to accounts of it in other | 
works, if any such exist. It is hoped that in future in any mention | 
of Wiltshire barrows these numbers may always be quoted, and that in | 
this way the necessity for a large amount of trouble and research may | 
be obviated, and considerably greater. accuracy secured in their | 
identification. ; |

Wiltshire objects in Coniston Museum. I noticed in| 
September, 1917, in the Ruskin Museum at Coniston several iron | 
objects from the collection of the Rev. E. Meyrick, all mounted on one |

eard. They were, a socketed iron spearhead and two iron arrowheads 
with long barbs from Hillwood, Aldbourne Chase, and a fragment of a 
sinuous edged horseshoe with FJ headed nails, and a one edged 
knife from “ Badbury Castle.” The arrowheads may have been 
medizeval, the horseshoe was probably Roman or Late Celtic. In con- 
nection with these and apparently from the same collection, are a few 
other iron relics and some good bronze implements, but there is nothing 
to show where these came from, or whether they are of Wiltshire origin.

Greek Coins found at Wroughton. In view of the fact 
that the finding of Greek coins in Wilts is a rare occurrence and that . 
their presence may be regarded as a proof of intercourse with the 
Continent in pre-Roman days, it seems worth while to record that on 
March 10th, 1918, Dr. Dismorr, of Wroughton, kindly sent me two 
silver coins which he told me “ were dug up in the garden of a cottage 
built about twenty years ago (at Wroughton). ‘The man noticed the 
bigger one and then put the surrounding soil through a sieve and so 
found the little one. With the coins he also dug up what he described 
as part of a drain pipe which he unfortunately broke up.” I sent the 
coins up to Mr. G. F. Hill, of the Coin Department at the British 
Museum, and he replied as follows :—“ Of your two coins the larger (a 
tetradrachm of Alexander II., or of Philip III. of Macedon) is a modern 
east. As to the smaller, a half-drachm of Philip III., I do not feel 
certain, but it may be genuine. It is fairly clear that the probability 
is in favour of its having come to Wroughton in modern times, as the 
bigger piece cannot have come in ancient times.” ‘This of course seems 
to dispose entirely of the interest of the find. On the other hand, 
however, Dr. Dismorr tells me that he subsequently showed the coins 


to the well-known coin dealers. Messrs. Spink, of Piccadilly, who 


declared that both were genuine. EK. H. Gopparp. 


Aldbourne. Flint Celts. The late Mr. W. Chandler, of North 
| Farm, Aldbourne, collected a series of fifteen ground flint celts, or 
rather portions of celts, for all of them were broken, some showing 
less than half the implement, whilst others had only lost one end. 
| Some of these ‘are beautifully ground all over, others only slightly 
ground, one is only chipped and not ground, but all of them show a 
white patina, which is precisely similar to that of the very numerous 
| broken pieces of ground celts which are found at Windmill Hill, 
| Avebury. At Avebury, however, the celts are accompanied by many 
fine arrowheads of various types, whereas Mrs. Chandler tells me that 
| no arrowhead was ever brought to Mr. Chandler from North Farm. 
The celts were all found on the farm, but came from several different 
| fields. This series of celts has now by the kindness of Mrs. Chandler 
| ‘been given to the Society’s Museum. K. H. Gopparp. 


Aldbourne. Roman Coins. Mr. W. Chandler also collected a 
1 number of Roman coins which from time to time were found on North:

Farm, Aldbourne. By the kindness of his widow about 120 of these 
have been given to the Society. Of these about 50 are more or less 
illegible, the majority being 3rd brass of the Constantine period. Of 
those which are legible examples occur from Tiberius, A.D. 14 to 
Theodosius, A.D. 379. A few of the earlier coins are Ist brass, mostly 
much worn or defaced, a few are silver, the rest are 2nd and 3rd brass. 
Examples occur of Tiberius, Vespasian, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus 
Pius, Aurelius Antoninus, Alex. Severus, Gallienus, Quintillus, Claudius 
Gothicus, Maximianus, Allectus, Carausius, Constantius, Constantine 
the Great, Licinius, Crispus, Constantine II., Magnentius, Julian,

The Westbury Acorn Cup. This famous piece of plate, de- | 
scribed in Wilts Arch. Mag., xxxiv., 103—108, and in The Ancestor, | 
April, 1904, appeared again at Christie’s on May Ist, 1918, when it 
was sold to “ Hutton” for £966. After remaining in the hands of Sir 
J. C. Robinson, of Newton Manor, Swanage, for some years, it was 
exchanged by him with another collector for, if I recollect rightly, a 
valuable dagger. Presumably this collector sold it, for it next appeared 
in 1906, in the shop of Messrs. Crichton, 22, Old Bond Street, London, 
the price asked for it being £1350 at first, and subsequently £1500. 
Its recent appearance in Christie’s catalogue led to letters from Mr. 
A. F. G. Leveson Gower (Zumes, April 26th, 1918), inveighing against 
the alienation of Church plate and the like, and from the Rev. R. 
Grosvenor Bartelot, of Fordington (Z%mes, April 28th, 1918), urging 
that it should be restored to Westbury, if possible, and giving the 
following particulars which had not previously been published. Col. 
Thomas Wanklin was married as the register records, to Mary, widow 
of Henry Ley, Earl of Marlborough, at Westbury, on August 7th, 1647, 
The churchwardens’ accounts of Dilton (the mother Church) contain 
this record ‘1845. 31 October. Leave was given to the Vicar so as to 
dispose of the sacramental plate as with some additions to procure a 
new set for the said purposes.” An inventory of Church plate signed 
by Thomas Hewitt, Vicar of Westbury, in 1750, mentions “one large 
gilt silver cup with a foot and a belly which is chased; and round the 
top of the cup within four lines are contained ithe following words 
‘Given to the Church of Westbury by Col. Wancklin and Mary, 
Countess of Marlborough, 1671,’ and a cover to the above cup gilt, on 
the outside of which, on the one side of it, it is marked with these 
letters I. W., and on the other side M.M.” 

The Wiltshire Gazette, May 2nd, and the Wiltshire Times, May 4th, 
1918, referred to the history of the cup at some length, and reprinted 
parts of the letters to the Z’imes.

Elder Wood unlucky to burn. A Clyffe Pypard man faggotting 
up some elder wood for me last winter (1918) remarked that he wouldn’t 
have the faggots if they were given him, and that people said it was

unlucky to burn Elder wood. He further said that a year or two ago 
a quantity of elder was cut at Clevancy (in Hilmarton) and that though 
it was good large log wood nobody would have it at a gift and it had 
to be piled up and burnt to get rid of it. E. H. Gopparp.

My attention has been called to a note in Proceedings Soc. Ant., I. 
Series, IV., 27, recording the fact that Sir Edmund Antrobus exhibited 
at a meeting of the Society of Antiquaries three silver rings found at 
Long’s Farm, Amesbury, in February, 1843, in a rude urn with a 
number of Roman silver and small brass coins ranging from Postumus 
and Tetricus to Theodosius II., who reigned A.D. 408—450. The rings 
have square bezels rudely engraved with four galeated heads, a stag 
couchant with a bird above, and a winged quadruped, respectively. The 
style resembles that of the early Saxon Sceattas, and the date assigned 
to the rings is the latter part of the fifth century. These rings are now 
in the British Museum. (Brit. Museum Catalogue of Finger Rings, 
Nos. 1205—i207). Mr. T. Sheppard in Hull Museum Publications, 
No. 70, April, 1910, records the finding of a similar ring in a pot with 
late fourth century coins at South Ferriby, Lincs.

La Tene I. bronze fibula found at Charnage. An 


interesting addition to the Society’s collection has been given by Mr. 
A. R. White, of Charnage, Mere. Mr. O.G.S. Crawford, F.S.A., whilst 
diligently searching out antiquities of all sorts which have been found 
within a few miles on either side of the Roman road going westwards 
from Old Sarum by Groveley and Great Ridge Wood, visited Charnage 
and kindly sent me drawings of several objects found in the neigh- 
bourhood and preserved by Mr. A. R. White. Amongst them was a_- 
bronze fibula precisely of the same type as those illustrated and de- 
scribed by myself in Wilts Arch. Mag., xxxv., 398—402, in 1908. I was 
able then to enumerate thirteen examples from Wiltshire of these partic- 
ular fibulz which probably date from at least 200 B.C., and are identical 
with those commonly found in the Late Celtic burials in the Marne dis- 
trict of France. I have not heard of any fresh examples turning up in the 
county until this specimen was found at Charnage. It closely resembles 
Nos. 4 and 5 illustrated at page 399, and now in the Society’s Museum. 
It has, however, lost its turned-back “‘Duck’s head” foot. It is of solid 
make with thickened bow with engraved midrib, and measures 23in. 
in length. As with four other Wiltshire examples the original spring 
has been broken and to repair it a bronze rivet has been run through 
the coils of the spring, on which a pin made of somewhat thinner 
bronze wire than the original spring has been fitted. This pin itself 
has been broken off. The number of known examples from Wiltshire is 
now fourteen. This example was found by {flint diggers, in the fork 
between the Mere—Hindon Road and the old “ British Trackway ” 
running to Whitesheet Hill, on the 600ft. contour line.

The Gold Ring of Ethelwulf, father of Alfred the — 
Great. Mr. Albert Way, in a paper on “Decorative Processes _ 
connected with the arts during the Middle Ages,” in Arch.Journal, IL., 
163 (1845), says “One of the most interesting relics of enamelled art 
which exist in England is the gold ring of Ethelwulf, King of Wessex, — 
836—838, father of Alfred the Great. It was found in the parish of | 
Laverstock, Hants, in a cart-rut where it had become much crushed | 
and defaced. The original form of this remarkable ring is here repre- 
sented (a woodcut is given). Its weight is 11 dwts., 14 gr., and the 
cavities chased on its surface are filled up with a glossy bluish-black 
enamel . . . There seems to be no reasonable ground for questioning | 
the appropriation or authenticity of this ornament, which is now pre- | 
served in the Medal Room at the British Museum.” A footnote refers | 
to Archeologia, VIIL., 421, Plate XXX., and adds “A representation of | 
this ring has been given by Mr. Shaw in his interesting series of Dresses | 
and Decorations.” Mr. Cooksey, in “ Papers and Proceedings of the | 
Hampshire Field Club V., 26, speaks of the ring as found at Laverstoke, | 
Hants, between Oakley and Whitchurch, and Prof. Oman, in England | | 
before the Norman Conquest, p. 425, apparently repeats this statement, | 
Mr. F. H. Baring, however, in a paper in Papers and Proc. of the | 

Hampshire Field Club, VIIL., 97, 1917, points out that this is an | 
error, and that the ring was caval foun at Laverstock, Wilts, close | 
to Salisbury, and not at Laverstoke, Hants, and he quotes in a footnote 
the following original account from Archeologia, VII., 421 :—“ March 
22nd, 1781: Lord Radnor communicated a piece of eote found about | 
Sonera, 1780, in a field near Salisbury, in the parish of Laverstoke | 

by William Petty, pressed out of a cart rut sideways | 
It was carried down to Mr. Howell, a silversmith in Salisbury, wit { 


gave the man 34s. forit .. . and from Mr. Howell Lord Radnor | 
purchased it.” 


Saxon Saucer-Shaped Brooch, Mildenhall. In 1914) 
Mr. A. D. Passmore obtained an unusually large (3 inches in diameter) | 
Saxon saucer-shaped brooch of gilt bronze. One side of the edge is | 
missing. The decoration is a sort of guilloche border enclosing three | 
ornaments, each resembling a bell flower springing from two leaves. | 
There is nothing like it among the saucer brooches illustrated by Mr. | 
E. Thurlow Leeds in Archeologia, LXIII., 159 (1912). So far as Mr. | 


Passmore could ascertain it was a casual find and nothing else was | 
found with it. | 


Brass 13th Century Seal found at Swindon. This’ 
seal in the collection of Mr. A. D. Passmore, of Swindon, shows a fox | 
and goose (?) with a tree between them, surrounded by an inscription. | 
An impression was sent to Sir William, St. John Hope, who says: “ The} 
inscription is ‘* S’ THOME FL STEFFAN,’ which you may| 
render as Thomas, son of Steffan (or Stephen) or Thomas Fitz-Steffan. | 
The latter looks grander, but Thomas was probably not ‘ an armigerous’

worn. Its date is mid 13th century and it belongs to a class of which 
hundreds of examples remain to us” 


Skeleton found at Fargo. In the construction of a military 
railway across the Plain, a skeleton was unearthed at Fargo, north of 
the Packway, in 1918. From: the particulars given by the officer in 
charge it.was buried in a “ sitting” position. Measurements of skull: 
length 74in., breadth 53in., height 64in., femur 163in., humerus 114in. 
The tibia was platycnemic. The remains indicate a male of middle 
age, with strong muscular impression on bones. Teeth all perfect, 
slightly worn down, but no sign of decay. 

It was probably of the Bronze Age. The stature 5dft. 2in. No objects 
were associated with the remains. Careful search was made for the 
same. The skeleton is preserved at the Salisbury Museum, and 
labelled “ Fargo No. 1.” F. STEVENS. 


A cure for Whooping Cough. My father, the Rev. Francis 
Goddard, Vicar of Hilmarton, wrote in May, 1890, that he recollected 
being told by Miss Maskelyne, of Bupton Farm, in Clyffe Pypard, that 
she was cured of whooping cough as a child by being drawn backwards, 
naked, through a thorn bush on that farm. The date of this was 
probably about 1810. HK. H. Gopparb. 


A cure for ‘‘ Low ”’ (abcess in the foot) in Cows. My 
father also noted that this recipe was in use at Alderton in this county 
about 1850. Watch the cow when she lies down in the field, watch her 
when she first rises. Mark the spot on which she first places the dis-. 
eased foot. Cut out the piece of turf with your knife, hang it up on a 
white thorn bush ; when it is perfectly dry the foot will be well.

A cure for Epilepsy. Take a live “ Want”~a male, cut its head 
off and drop 10 drops, no more and no less, of the hot blood from the 
head into a tea cup of cold water and give it to the patient (in this case 
a woman) and the fits will be cured. Mr. Harold Brakspear, F.8.A., 
writing in Nov., 1897, says that this remedy was given by an old 
Wiltshire woman to a doctor at Corsham in that year. Query if the 
patient had been a man, would the “‘ Want ” have had to be a female?

| Durrington. The blade of a rather large broken socketed celt somewhat like 
Evans’ /7g.124,measuring 3in.in length and 2gin.in width at the widened 
cutting edge, with two raised ribs and a ridge at each side, hollow for 
half its length, was found in the ruins of a cottage at Durrington, in 
1918. My attention was drawn to it by Mr. J. Soul, of Amesbury, and 
| a careful drawing of it, kindly made by Mr. Percy Farrer, F.S.A., has 
been placed in the collection of drawings at Devizes. The celt remains 
| in private hands.

Sling Camp (near Bulford, N. of Sling Plantation). Mr. Percy Farrer 
tells me that in 1914, during the building of the camp, a workman | 
found a bronze spear head, described as being very like a modern lance — 
head but rather wider in the flanges. Its present whereabouts is un- 
known. 

Mere. Mr. O. G.S. Crawford, F.S.A., has made a drawing (1919), now 
in the Society’s collection, of the Bronze “Celt” preserved in the 
small collection of miscellaneous articles in the parvise of the 
Church at Mere. It is a palstave somewhat like Mg. 77 of Evans’, | 
Plain, with a single broad midrib dying away on the blade, one side of 
the socket broken off and lost, apparently in ancient times, and the 
edge much chipped and broken away. ‘The patina is dark olive green 
except where the blade has been ground since discovery. Length 53in.,, 
width of blade 22in.. It was found by Mr. Philip Crocker, agent to Sir 
R. C. Hoare, “probably on the Wiltshire downs,” and was given to 
the Church collection by Mr. Ernest Baker. 

Salisbury. A bronze palstave with long slot and expanded cutting edge, 
53in. long, width of cutting edge 2in., picked up in 1915 at Bishop 
Down, Salisbury, was in the possession of Mr. C. Scamell, of 51, High 
Street, Salisbury. A full size sketch of it by the Rev. C. V. Goddard 
has been added to the Society’s collection of drawings, &c. It sub- 
sequently (Sept., 1915) passed into the collection of Mr. R.S. Newall, of 
Fisherton Delamere. Similar to Evans’ /2g. 60 except that it has no 
stop. 

Sidbury Hill. Mr. O. G. S. Crawford, F.S.A., has called my attention to 
the following notice in Proc. Soc. Ant. 2 8. 1x. 1883, p. 227 (Jan. 18th, 
1883) which had escaped my notice. 

“C. E. Keyser, Esq., F.S.A., exhibited by permission of Sir John | 
Kelk, Bart., of Tedworth, Hampshire, a bronze axehead, of the class | 
described by Mr. John Evans as a winged celt, with stopridge. Its | 
dimensions are :— extreme length, 63in. ; width of cutting edge, 2in.; | 
breadth at stopridge, Zin. The axehead was found about 6 weeks ago 
by a boy, while ploughing on the slopes of Sidbury Hill, in Wiltshire, | 
in the parish of N. Tidworth. : | 

Charnage, or Chaddenwick, near Mere, The Society is also indebted to | 
Mr. Crawford for a drawing and description of a large and fine looped | 
and socketed bronze Celt in the possession of Mr. A. R. White, of this | 
place, found in 1909, about 200 yards N.E. of Charnage Farm, in the | 
course of laying a pipe. It isin good condition with plain heavy neck | 
mould and three narrow raised ribs somewhat flattened by hammering. | 
It resembles Figs. 125 and 126 of Evans, and measures 42in. in length | 
with a curved edge of 2in. in width. 

Aldbourne. A bronze socketed and looped spearhead found some years | 
ago betweentAldbourne and Chilton Foliat, isin Mr. A. D. Passmore’s | 
collection at Swindon. It has a plain narrow blade with pronounced | 
midrib running down to the point with the loops about 4in. from the | 
base of the blade, resembling /7g. 394 in Evans. An outline sketch is | 
in the Society’s collection. E. H. Gopparp. :

Bromham and Heddington Boundaries. Transcript of a 
foolscap paper concerning the repair of the old London Road between 
Beacon Hill and Wans Corner. This is one of Seventeen papers pre- 
pared at the time of a dispute between the parishes of Bromham and 
Heddington about the year 1635. ‘Transcribed by W. A. Webb. 


No. 13. ‘‘ Mr, Webbe wher as you intreate my knowledge concern- 
ing the boundes between hedington and bromham, according to your 


desier I have heare sent you what I remember was done In my time 
and also what I think of it. 


ffirst I say I doe not remember that ever the inhabitants of Bromham 
did ever mende or repair the waies or contribut with hedington’s men 
____ below the hill before owld Sir Edward Baynton’s time, nither in his 
time till humphery Townsind cam to serve him and in my understand- 
inge they had no reson to do it because helack is all pt hedington : 
and no part of Bromham for Bromham boundes the procession went 
over from Bromham Park pale by masons breach and so keeping the 
cley dich to the hill above bagdon bridge. Also I remember that 
_humphery townsend beinge very inward with Sr. Edward Baynton 
psuaded him to give waye for the inhabitants of Bromham to assist 
hedington in the mendinge of helack way : which I remember at Sir 
Edwardes p’swasion we consented to : but we did it with very unwilling 
hartes and grudginge minds: only because we were loth to displease 
Sir Edward. ‘The reasons wherfore Sir Edward was p’suadid by Town- 
sind to yeld yt wee of Bromham should asiste Hedington was that wee 
mending pte of helacke waye it wolde bee an Evidence for Sir Edward 
and his eyers to chalenge strayes and felons goods that were taken 
there but if any such thinge did hapen there as never yet did neyther 
doe I think ever will I dowte whether Mr. Wells will sufer Sr Edward 
to carie it away for out of dowte Bromham never yet did chalenge nor 
I think can any pte. or pcell of helacke waye to be of bromham for 
Bromham out of dougt can chalenge nothing with out Bromham park 
masins breach and the cley dich and before we were drawne in to yeld 
we never mended but the hill. Also I remember that hedington’s 
inhabitants never mended above hill before we of Bromham befooled 
our selves to yeld to that agreement: but whether this Agreement wil] 
tye you to continue it I know not. I remember the agreement and 
the platter we consented to amend in helack waye which before I say 
againe was never dune by us nor our forfathers as I can remember or 
ever heard and this is as much as I can say concerning helack way. 
“but toching the boundes between hedington & bromham above hill

The Derivation of Imber. Through the kindness of Mr. W. H. 


Stevenson I am able to communicate the solution of an old problem, 
the derivation of the name Imber. The documentary evidence is com- 
plete, and only needs to be rightly interpreted. The chief variants 
in the spelling of the name are as follows:—in Domesday Book, 
Imemerie; in documents of the reigns of Henry II..and Richard I. 
Immere, which is the usual form; in a document in the Edington 
Chartulary, of the year 1183 Hymbemere ; in a document of the reign — 
of Henry III., Jmmemere ; in later documents, Jmmer. 

The form in Domesday Book, ending -rze, is the result of a slight 
corruption, through a mis-reading of the Anglo-Saxon ras 72, a mistake 
which is often found, since the right arm of the r is often protracted 
downwards. The form J/mmemere represents a late O.E. Jmme-mere, 
which must. be in full Jmman-mere, with the genitive of the masculine 
personal name Jmma. The forms Hymbemere and Jmber, the latter the 
modern writing and pronunciation, are easily explained: they are 
simply an instance of the intrusive 6 between two liquids in successive 
syllables, as in chamber, number, humble, and the vulgar corruption 
chimbley. Mere might be “lake,” but since this does not agree with 
the local features, it more probably means “ boundary”; then wemay | 
perhaps compare it with Buttermere (Buthar ?), a parish on the borders | 
of Wiltshire and Hampshire, south of Hungerford; and also Mere, | 
which is on the border of Wiltshire and Dorset. Here I have never 
been fully content with the recent view (see W.A.J/, vol. xxxiv., p. 290) 
that. Mere means “lake” or “marsh,” and prefer the older view of — | 
“boundary.” In support of this view that Jmme-mere means ‘“‘ Imma’s 
boundary,” it is worth noticing that Imber originally consisted of two 
parts, Imber North Part and Imber South Part, divided by the road 
and watercourse which run through the village. 


The derivation of another place called Jmber, in Thames Ditton 
Surrey, is different. This represents Zmman-weors ; and the name is 
written Zmmeworth in the fourteenth century ; and from the chrono- 
logical evidence given at the beginning of this note, this termination, 
cannot be assumed for the Wiltshire [mber. 

I take this opportunity of making a correction in W.A.M,, vol. xxxiv., 
p. 274,0n the derivation of Codford. The oldest form is Coteford, in | 
Domesday Book; and this should not be discarded for Coed-ford, | 
which appears to be an antiquary’s guess, for which there is no | 


documentary authority.

Notes on Tockenham. [These notes were written by the late 


late W. F. Parsons, of Hunt’s Mill, Wootton Bassett, in Sept., 1897. ] 
According to the testimony of aged men of this place it could be re- 
membered by them that the parish clerk sold beer on the Sunday and 
Monday afternoons, when the village feast was celebrated, the Monday 
after the festival of St. Giles, at the site of the “ Cross Elm,” a large 
tree which was blown down many years ago, which stood on the 
east side of the road near the rickyard on the south of the old mansion 
at Tockenham Wick. ‘This was, there is no doubt, the Clerk’s Ale, 
similar to that formerly held at Chiseldon, and held as lately as 1854, 
on Easter Tuesday, which Aubrey described as being kept for ‘“‘the 
clerk’s private benefit and the solace of the neighbourhood.” Sometimes 
backswording or singlestick was carried on at these times under the 
auspices of the Squire, in the “ Horse Close,” very near to the ‘‘ Cross 


Elm.” 


From a memorandum which has been preserved the “‘ Cross Elm ” 
was two miles and forty-two perches from Wootton Bassett Church 
tower, one mile and thirty-two perches from Tockenham Church, and a 
mile all but a few yards from Vastern Wilderness. In an old map 
formerly at Tockenham, the position of this tree could be seen. It was 
made, there is no doubt, by the notorious John Ayliffe, who after he 
left Harrow School (according to the late Canon Jackson), was with a 
surveyor for some time. ‘This was most likely to have been Adam 
Tuck, then residing at Langley, near Chippenham. He was the son of 
Mr. Tuck, of Freegrove, Lyneham, and like Ayliffe, acquired much 
notoriety, being concerned in the imprisonment of the Sheriff of Wilts 
for interfering in the election at Chippenham. He was also steward 
of the Manor of Grittenham for Mrs. Horner (before Ayliffe held that 
post), with whom he was in pecuniary difficulties. He was steward to 
Lord Cornbury for the Wootton Bassett Manor and also Town Clerk 
of Wootton Bassett. In 1751 he took his departure from thence in 
disgrace, taking with him the charter and corporation books. (By a 
vote of the corporation, Sept. 26th,1751, he was ignominiously expelled), 
The charter was found by Mr. Owen, of Goppa, Denbigh, in 
1859, among the contents of a box belonging to a Captain Tuck, but 
the old books have never been recovered. The present ones commence 
Sept. 26th, 1751. His brother, Mr. John Tuck, married on the 6th 
Sept., 1731, Miss Susannah Brinsdon, daughter of the Rector of Tocken- 
ham, and sister to John Ayliffe’s wife. There was once a water mill 
in Tockenham. It was situated ata spot over which the Great Western 
Railway now passes, almost at the corner of the Tockenham estate, 
and not far from the “ Hart ” or “ Halfs” Farm, on the Wootton Bassett 
estate. Traces of the small millpond can be distinctly seen close to 
therailway. This, there is no doubt, is the mill mentioned in Domesday, 
and assessed or valued at fifty pence. The stream from the Blind 
Mill, Lyneham, which passed by Trow Lane, was diverted, near Chesley 
Hill Farm, by a dam being placed across it, and another was made 
between the Coombs and Vastern Farm and the Tockenham property

to turn the water (formerly called the canal) which comes through | 
Teagle’s Copse from Shaw House Farm, &c., the two streams being 
united near the Mill, the meadows adjoining which are still called 
“ Mill Hay” and “ Mill Close.” Most of the Tockenham people know, 
no doubt, of the ‘‘ Vineyard.” This was in what is now “ Teagle’s 
Copse,” on the north side and a little to the west of the ‘‘ Black Dog,” 
or what is now known as “ Radnor Cottages” on the south side. This — 
is the wood on the north of the Wootton Bassett and Chippenham road, 
which is remarkable for being in such a wide and deep ravine. This . 
very sheltered and sunny spot, with a stony subsoil, would seem to 
render it an admirable place for a vineyard, which it was undoubtedly 
in ancient times, but from information which has been gleaned on the 
subject, there is reason for supposing that Mr. Goddard Smith, a few 
years before his death in 1746, planted some vines there, the sets for 
which he had from Wanstead, Essex, which then belonged to his friend, 
Sir Robert Long, of Draycot, as also from Mr. Talbot, at Lacock Abbey, 
on which he was congratulated for his public spirit. He also kept 
trout in the small gravelly stream (or canal) through the copse, the 
stock being sometimes replenished from Draycot. 


Lydiard Millicent Natural History Notes. The Rev. 
D. P. Harrison, writing Ang. 22nd, 1918, says:—“Of Butterflies I 
have taken the following, Melct@ea artemis, Marsh Fritillary, two 
specimens, 1916. Numerous 1917 and 1918 in May and beginning 
of June in a small restricted area in this parish. Grapta C. 
Album, one seen 1917. ‘Caught about two dozen in Brockhurst Wood 
this July, 1918. [Brockhurst Wood is in Purton parish.] TZhecla W. | 
Album. One specimen caught in Brockhurst, July 6th, 1918. Could | 
find no more. Both Argynnis adippe (very scarce) and Melitaa selene | 
in small numbers were to be found in Brockhurst this year. I also — 
found Limenztis sybilla (a few only) in Brockhurst this year. I have | 
also seen many specimens this year of Syrea# gigas, the huge hornet- | 
like fly, which is so destructive by boring into fir trees. It has been a | 
great year for Dragon Flies. I have identified Libellula depressa 
(common), Libellula quadrimaculata, Orthetrum cancellatum (very 
rare and very like depressa, but I caught two and identified them) 
Aischna mixta, Cordulegaster annulatus, Hschnajuncea, Aischna cyanea, 
I think Anax Imperator but this I could not catch, and am uncertain 
therefore. The Little Owl is quite settled in this neighbourhood, and | 
I knew of at least three nests which hatched out. It first appeared 
three years ago. The Redstart, which I have not seen for many years | 
in this neighbourhood, has bred this year in three cases. The Pied 
Flycatcher again this year appeared for about a couple of days about 
the 6th—10th of May. With the exception of last year and 1914 | 
I have seen it on migration every year since 1909. Itneverstopsmore | 
than a couple of days. Only in 1911 did I seea female. A curious 
movement of Gulls took place in July, 6th to 14th. I identified the | 
Lesser Blackback, the Herring, the Black-headed, and one Great | 
Blackback. It is a curious month in which to see them passing over, 4

-and I cannot quite divine the reason. They were all old birds, ap- 


parently. All were going 8.W.” 

I have come across several specimens ef the yellow form of Mus 
sylvestris. I think it is only a variety, though some give it specific 
value. I also found, dead in the road, a specimen of the Pygmy Shrew.” 

A Common Buzzard, Buteo buteo, in immature plumage, was shot by 
a keeper in Lydiard Park on Sept. 30th, 1918. It was knocking down 
pheasants and had killed three without, however, descending into the 
undergrowth to devour them.”’ 

Mr. Harrison also reports (1919) another scarce Dragon Fly, Gomphus 
vulgatissemus ; a white Letter Hairstreak (7hecla W. album) in the 
Vicarage Garden, Lydiard Millicent, and White Admiral (Lymenttis 
sybulla) aS occuring in some numbers in more than one wood near 
Lydiard. Also four Duke of Burgundy Fritillary (Nemeobcus lucina) 
taken on June 6th and 7th. 


Kentish Plover in Wilts? Mr. J.C. Laidlaw,writing on “The 


War and its effects on Birds” in Country Life, Sept. 2nd, 1916, p. 274, 
says;—‘In Wiltshire I was lucky enough to be in a camp near some 
downs on which the rare Kentish Plover were nesting, and on 
manceuvres there had sometimes one or more of these strange little 
birds quite close to me, circling round, showing great signs of distress 
at their formerly lonely nesting site being so frequently disturbed. 
Right in the middle of this camp inan ancient and lofty elm tree a pair 
of Hobbies had their nest and, despite the efforts made to pillage it, 
successfully reared their brood.” The locality is not in any way 
identified. The Kentish Plover, or Kentish Dotterel, is not mentioned 
by Smith as having occurred in Wilts. Can the writer have mistaken 
the bird? Was it really a Dotterel, or Ringed Dotterel ? 


Little Owl at Netherstreot. Mr. R. G. Gwatkin reported on 


Oct. 21st, 1917, that a Little Owl had been killed by Mr. Leonard at 
Netherstreet, Bromham. It was identified by Mr. Gwatkin. 


Rare Plants. Mrs. Ruddle, of Durrington, writing in July, 1917, 


reported asingle plant of Asperugo procumbens at Durrington,and Sisym- 
brium trio as growing freely in two places on Durrington Down, one 
quite near Stonehenge, and also by*the side of the road leading from 
Milston to the down, so that though the former may be only a “ casual,” 


the latter seems quite established. She also reported Senebiera corono- 


pus and Lepidium ruderale from Durrington, the latter not mentioned 
by Preston. Curiously enough several plants of this (Z. ruderale) were 
found in Aug., 1917, at Holt Station by myself. Probably its presence 
is due to the introduction of army fodder. Mr. C. P. Hurst, of Great 
Bedwyn, reports that on the 3rd of July, 1919, Dr. A. Adams, of Looe, 
found Hpipactis palustris on boggy ground near Folly Farm, 14 miles 
S.E. of Great Bedwyn, and at the same place his son, Mr. S. H. Adams 
found Lriophorum latifolium (Broad-leaved Cotton-Sedge). Both were 
in some quantity. The former has been recorded from three other 
localities in Wilts ; the latter appears to be a new record for the county.

366 ; Notes. 


Tudor Embroidery at Steeple Ashton Vicarage. 
In a cupboard under the stairs at Steeple Ashton Vicarage amongst 
odds and ends taken over from the previous Vicar in 1897 was found 
in 1905 a bundle containing three strips of Tudor embroidery which 
had evidently formed the hangings of the top of a four-post bedstead, 
It appears that it had once been taken out, aired, peppered, and 
wrapped up again by an old servant in Canon Bond’s time (1889—1897), | 
but there was nothing to show its previous history. It had been 
recently carefully mounted on green linen by Mrs: Knubley, acting 
under expert advice. It consists of seven scenes from the early life of 
Christ, the Annunciation, Salutation, Nativity, Circumcision, Adoration 
of the Magi, Presentation in the Temple, and Flight into Egypt. It 
was given to the third Red Cross sale at Christie’s in April, 1917, and 
was described in thé 7zmes as a “very beautiful and interesting piece 
of Tudor embroidery.” It was sold to Mr. Jourad for 320 guineas. 
Wiltshire Gazette, April 12th, 1917. 


Norman Stones in the front of No. 20, Long Street, 
Devizes. In June, 1915, the front of this house was stripped of its 
lath and plaster covering and under this was found a very thick stone 
wall built of stones of uniform size, into which various carved stones 
were built. Some of these bore the Norman chevron ornament, and 
retained traces of whitewash or ochre, showing that they came from an 
inside wall, They evidently came either from the Castle or from one 
of the Churches. The front was again covered with new lath and 
plaster. Waltshire Gazette, July 8th, 1915. 


Aldbourne. Barrow 19a. (List of Prehistoric Antiquities, &e. 
Wilts Arch. Mag., xxxvili, 157) ‘This disc barrow on the Baydon 
boundary cut by the Ermine Street, is not shown on the Ordnance 
Survey, but appears in the maps of Stations XI. XII. in Ancient Wilts. 
No particulars are given of it in the “ List,” but Mr. A. D. Passmore 
writes, March 4th, 1918 :—‘‘This was opened some years ago by the 
late W. Chandler, of Aldbourne. I remember talking to him about it, 
and he said that after cutting out all the middle nothing was found. 
He seemed to think that there never had been an interment in the 
centre.” 


Stonehenge given to the Nation. The Times of Sept. 25th, | 
1918, printed the following letter to Sir Alfred Mond, First Commissioner | | 
of Works from Mr. C. H. E. Chubb, of Bemerton Lodge, announcing his | 
gift of the monument to the nation. The letter was copied into the 
_— Wiltshire papers. 

“Stonehenge is, perhaps, the best-known and the most iatiocedtine of 
our national monuments, and has always appealed strongly to the 
British imagination. 

‘To me, who was born close to it and during my boyhood and youth 
visited it at all hours of the day and night, under every conceivable 
condition of weather—in driving tempests of hail, rain, and snow,

fierce thunderstorms, glorious moonlight, and beautiful sunshine, it 


~ always has had an inexpressible charm. 


‘‘T became the owner of it with a deep sense of pleasure, and had 
contemplated that it might remain a cherished possession of my family 
for long years to come. 

“Tt has, however, been pressed upon me that the nation would like 
to have it for its own and would prize it most highly. 

“J, therefore, have decided to give up this unique possession and 


~ offer it to you, His Majesty’s First Commissioner of Works, as a gift 
. to be held for the nation. 


“Tt brings in a revenue and its possession would be far from an ex- 
pense. If my wife and I may express a wish, though far from making 
it a condition of the gift, we should be glad if during the continuance 
of the war;the income could be handed to the Red Cross Society, whose 
work at the present time is of such great national value. This point, 
however, must be entirely within your discretion.” 

The answer of the First Commissioner of Works accepting the gift 
for the nation, in suitable terms, was published at the same time, and 
it was stated that arrangements would be made to carry out Mr. Chubb’s 
suggestion as to the disposal of the gate money (about £360 a year) 
during the war. The monument thus passed into the possession and 
under the care of the Ancient Monuments Board at once, and every 
Wiltshireman, whether he knows anything of archeology or not, will 
rejoice that it has fallen to a Wiltshireman to set such an example of 
generous patriotism, and will appreciate the spirit in which the offer of 
the gift was made. 

_A letter from Canon H. D. Rawnsley in The Times of Sept. 28th 
made the rather unhappy suggestion that ‘‘ At Midsummer day of each 
year or at stated intervals a solemn service should be held (at Stone- 
henge) in memory not only of Wiltshire men but of all the men of the 
British Empire who have died for right against might, for justice, 
freedom, and peace . . . Nothing would be needed but a huge 
stone Celtic cross in the neighbourhood of the circle, with a simple 
dedication to the imperishable memory of the gallant dead.” 

In The Times, Oct. 2nd, Lord Eversley once more returned to the 
charge in the matter of “ Freedom of access ” which he still regards as 
the one thing needful, an opinion controverted in subsequent letters 
by the Rev. G. H. Engleheart, and Prof. T. E. Holland, the latter also 
deprecating Canon Rawnsley’s suggestion. 

The formal presentation of the deed coriveying Stonehenge to the 
nation by Mr. C. H. E. Chubb to Sir Alfred Mond, M.P., First Com- 
missioner of Works, took place at Stonehenge on Saturday, Oct. 26th, 
1918, when a considerable company assembled, though the numbers 
would have been no doubt very much larger had it not been for the 
existing petrol restrictions. Mr. Chubb, standing on one of the fallen 
stones, handed the deed to Sir Alfred Mond with a short speech in the 
spirit of his letter quoted above—and Sir Alfred Mond expressed the 
gratitude of the Government and the nation for the self-denying and

munificent gift. He also touched on the vexed nestion of the fencing. — 
The monument he said could not be left entirely open and unguarded, | 
but he hoped that a sunk fence which would not be seen would replace 
the existing wire, and that the site would be thoroughly exploredin | 
the future. Sir C. Hercules Read, of the British Museum, dwelt on | 
the fact that Stonehenge, which had doubtless belonged to the nation 
Over 3000 years ago had now come back into its possession again. Sir 


Arthur Evans, as President of the Society of Antiquaries, spoke of | 


the monument as a temple in the centre of a great prehistoric cemetery. _| 
Lt..Gen. Sir Henry Slater, G.O.C., Southern Command, said a few | 
words on behalf of the army on the Plain; and Mr. W. Heward Bell, 
as President of the Wiltshire Archeological Society, thanked Mr. 


_ Chubb on behalf of the county and spoke of the origin of the sarsen — 


stones of the monument which must have come from the Marlborough 
Downs, as sarsens were never present on the Plain in any number or 
size. Dr. Macgregor Reid, who announced himself as the representative 
of the “ Latterday Druids or Universal Bond of the Sons of Men,” ex- 
pressed his satisfaction at the moument passing into the hands of the 
nation, as there would be no obstacle in future to his co-religionists — 
performing their worship on the site on Midsummer Day. Amongst 
those present were Sir Lionel Earle, Permanent Secretary of the Office 
of Works; Mr. C. K. Peers, Inspector of Ancient monuments; The 


Rev. G. Engleheart, The Rev. E. H. Goddard, Col. Hawley, and the | 


Mayor of Salisbury (Mr. J. Macklin). Someaccount of the proceedings | 
appeared in most of the daily and local papers, but the best and fullest | 
report was given by the Salisbury Journal, Nov. 2nd, 1918. 


Occurrence of Chirocephalus diaphanus in Savernake | 


Forest. This interesting freshwater custacean, known to someas 
the ‘‘ Fairy Shrimp,” was first noticed on June 11th, 1917. It was | 
then very abundant in a small pool between the column ride and Lush | 
Hill. The majority of the specimens measured about lin. in length 


and carried mature ova. One was strongly reminded of a pool on the — 
sea-shore filled with young prawns. The poo) was visited a week later | 


and found to have dried up and no living specimens. of Chirocephalus 
were to be found. On June 30th some rain fell and the pool.again 
contained water and on July 17th numbers of specimens were observed 
at a somewhat earlier stage of development than those first noticed. | 
This strange appearance of Chirocephalus in ponds which frequently | 
dry up has I believe been noticed in other localities, but [am not | 
aware that it has been satisfactorily explained. In this case attempts | 
to hatch the ova have so far failed. During the present season (1918) | 
there has been no water in the pool from the early spring tillthe | 
present week of rain (July 17th) and in consequence Chirocephalus has 

not so far made its appearance. — A. JovycEy WATSON.

372 — Wilts Obituary. 


Studied at the Scole des Mines, Paris. In 1903, owing to ill health, — | 
he went to Sidmouth, where he lodged with the Woolleys, a family of — 
fishermen, who nursed him back to health. With them he remained | 
as a working partner, sharing in every way their life and work on the | 
sea, and gaining the experience which was the foundation of his sub- 
sequent books, through which he became recognised as the chief | 
authority on the life of inshore fishermen, especially those of the south- | 
west, and the most ardent champion of their needs. Zhe Zimes,ina_ | 
very appreciative obituary notice, Feb. 15th, 1919, says “A man of | 
letters, a powerful and original thinker, and above all things a friend 
of inshore fishermen, his books show the terms on which he stood with 
the Devon men with whom he lived, and how completely he had got | 
inside their minds and shared their outlook. The brothers Woolley | 
are known to all his readers. . . . Whenthe received in 1913 the 
position under Government of Adviser on Inshore Fisheries to the 
Development Commission, it was recognized that the right man had ~ 
been put into the right place. . . . On the outbreak of war the | 
movements of fishing vessels had to be much restricted and cooperation | 
between the Board of Agriculture’and the Admiralty being necessary, — 
Reynolds, who was accredited to the Devonport Command, was enabled, ~ 
by his intimate knowledge of the fisheries, his close touch with the | 
fishermen, and his tactful handling of authority, to help the fisheries of | 
Devon and Cornwall to the enjoyment, throughout the war, of almost | 
unprecedented prosperity . . . Reynolds might be said to have lived | 
for the fisheries ; he brought the system of district inspection toa high 
degree of organization ; he maintained the closest touch with every | 
fishing port and cove: he was known from end to end of his district’ | 

. it was the fisherman and not the commercial aspect of fisherieswhich | 
appealed to him.” In a Jong letter by Mr. Cecil Harmsworth in the | 
Times Interary Supplement, Feb. 20th, 1919, he says :—‘‘In a way | 
Stephen Reynolds was one of the most fortunate men I have ever | 
known. He set out to perform a certain task and, lamentably brief, 
as was his life, he succeeded in accomplishing a great part of it . . . | 
he desired above all things to help the class to which he had allied | 
himself; and before he died he laid the foundations of a policy that is 
now being carried out and has already done much for the welfare and 
prosperity of one of the most valuable elements in our community ... | 
I know of few cases where a man of ideas has found the way open 80 | 
quickly and so directly to their acceptance.” An appreciation by his | 
publisher and friend George A. Macmillan, in The Spectator, March | 
22nd, 1919, says :—‘“‘ The death of such a man just at this moment | 
when men with these very qualities are so sorely needed to deal in the | 
right spirit with urgent industrial problems is a grave loss to the nation | 
at large.” |

In this volume it was stated that ‘* Vol. II., Surnames, will be pub- 
lished shortly.’ Much of the MS. for this second volume was prepared, 
but the sale of Vol. I. was not sufficiently large to warrant the expense 
of printing Vol. II. This was to be regretted for Vol. I. was a very 
useful work, summing up what has been said by various authorities on 
the derivation of Wiltshire Place Names. 

He also printed interesting Notes on Surnames, especially those of 
Holt and Bradford families, in the Wiltshire Times, Nov. 15th, 1913, 
and Feb, 28th, 1914.

the downland, and the laying down of land in the bad times. For over 
twenty years he was chairman of the Cattle Diseases Committee of 
the Central Chamber of Agriculture, and was one of the two tenant 
farmers who were asked to serve on the Duke of Richmond’s Royal 
Commission on Agriculture, and took a large part in the framing of

THE SIXTY-SIXTH GENERAL MEETING 
OF 
THE WILTSHIRE ARCHAOLOGICAL AND NATURAL 
HISTORY SOCIETY, 


HELD AT DEVIZES MUSEUM, August 5th, 1919. 


It had been hoped that the year of the Peace might have been marked 
‘by the resumption of the Society’s Annual Meetings and Excursions, and 
some progress had been made in arrangements for holding a meeting at 
Salisbury at the beginning of August. The occurrence of the Peace 


celebrations, however, and the impossibility of securing accommodation 


“either at Salisbury or Wilton seemed to make any attempt to hold a meeting 


in thesouth of the county hopeless, and the committee reluctantly abandoned 


the idea, hoping for more success next year. Accordingly, for the fifth 
year in succession a General Meeting for business only was held at Devizes 
Museum on August 5th, 1919, at which only a few members were present, 


the president, Mr. W. Heward Bell, F.G.S., F.S.A., being in the chair. 


Nine new members were elected, and the officers of the Society were re- 
appointed en bloc with the addition of Mr. Frank Stevens, F.S.A., as Local 
Secretary for Salisbury and Mr. O. G. S. Crawford, F.S.A., as a member of 
the committee. 


THE ANNUAL REPORT 
was then read by the hon. secretary. 

“Members.—The total number of members on the Society’s list on July 
81st 1919, was 318, of whom 11 are life members and 307 annual subscribers. 
The total number when last year’s report was issued was 321. During the 
year there have been 20 resignations and 13 deaths, whilst 30 new members 
have been elected. 

Finance.—The accounts to be published in the Magazine now due show 


| that the total balance on all the Society’s accounts on December 31st, 1918, 


was £257 lls. 8d., against £217 1s. 34d. on December 31st, 1917, an increase 


_ of £40 10s. 44d. on the year 1918. Of the separate accounts the general fund 
Magol. XL.—NO. CXxx. 2k 


390 The Siaty-Siath General Meeting. 


showed a balance of £56 12s. 2d. an increase of £16 2s. 114d.; the museum 
maintenance fund a balance of £17 3s. 4d., a decrease of £3 15s. 6d. ; the 
museum enlargement fund a balance of £28 Os. 4d., an increase of £12. 19s ; 
the purchase fund a balance of £91 8s. 8d., an increase of £19 8s. 1ld.; and 
the life membership fund a balance of £50 10s. 7d., a decrease of £4 5s. 

Museum and Library. The hon. curator (Capt. B..H. Cunnington, F.S.A., 
Scot.,) and Mrs. Cunnington have both been away from Devizes on war 
work for the whole of the year, and so far as the museum collections are 
concerned there are but few additions to record, the most important, perhaps, 
being the La Tene I. fibula found at Charnage and presented by Mr. A. RB, 
White. The Society received a request from Lieut.-Col. G. F. Ottley, the 
patron of the living of Luckington, that certain stones consisting of three 
corbelsand three curious small early headstones,which werefoundduringthe | 
restoration of that Church, czr. 1872, and placed in the museum, should be 
given back to the Church. As the proper place for these interesting stones 
is obviously the Church to which they belong, the committee were glad to 
accede to this request on receiving assurance that the stones should be 
carefully preserved inside the Church for the future. There have been a 
considerable number of additions to the Library. The Society owes its 
thanks to the Rev. A. W. Stote for the very complete and careful catalogue 
of a large number of Bradford Manor Deeds which have now been definitely 
presented by Mr. John Moulton. Unfortunately considerable dilapidations 
to the back portion of the premises which could not be dealt with during 
the war have now to be set right, and to meet this and other expenses 
the Society greatly needs many more annual subscriptions of 5s. or upwards 
to the museum maintenance fund, from the more receatly elected members 
who have not as yet become subscribers to this fund. 

Publications.—The December number of the Jagazine was published, | 
though some time after its proper date, owing to difficulties in printing, |) 


and the same cause has delayed the June number. It is hoped, however, |) 


that this may now shortly be in the hands of members. It has been 
necessary in each case to cut down the number of pages a good deal below 


the pre-war standard, owing to the greatly increased cost of publication. |) 


In this connection an appeal has been made to our own, as to all similar | 
societies, to assist in the work of re-establishing the destroyed library of } 
Louvain by making gifts of its publications for this purpose. The Society 
gladly agrees to give all its available publications. | 

The Bradford Barn.—During the year 1918 the receipts from visitors’ | 
fees and sale of pamphlets amounted to £8 3s. 1d., and the balance on | 
December 31st, 1918, was £11 17s. 4d., as against £8 12s. 9d. on December | 


31st, 1917. The Society greatly regrets that Mr. A. W. N. Burder, F.S.A., | 
to whose efforts the restoration of the barn was so largely due, will no |) 


longer be able to watch over it, as he is leaving Bradford. Mr. Ambrose |) 
Elton, of Bradford, has most kindly undertaken to take Mr. Burder’s place |) 
as the local guardian of the building on behalf of the Society. [ 

The Annual Meeting. ‘The committee had hoped that the Society might [7 


this year have resumed its annual meeting and excursions, and arrange- | 


ments had gone some way for its being held at Salisbury at the beginning | 7 


The Sixty-Siath General Meeting. 391 


of August, when Mr. F. Stevens, F.S.A., had promised to act as the local 
secretary. The appointment, however, by the Government, of that week 
for the peace rejoicings, and the subsequent change of date to the middle 
of July, together with the impossibility of finding accommodation either 
at Salisbury or Wilton, made it hopeless to attempt a meeting in the 
south of the county, and as other centres also failed, the idea of holding 
a meeting had to be given up. It is hoped that circumstances at Salisbury 
may be more favourable next year. 

Stonehenge. ‘The most important archeological event of the year in 
Wiltshire was the gift of Stonehenge to the nation by Mr. C. H. Chubb, 
who by his happy and generous inspiration has brought about what arche- 
ologists throughout the country have so long desired, and has safeguarded 
the great monument as we may hope, for all time against the changes and 
chances of private ownership. It is understood that the work of securing 
the leaning stones of the outer circle will be at once begun by the Office of 
Works. ” 


An appeal was read from the librarian of the John Rylands Library, 
Manchester, asking for gifts of the Society’s publications towards the 
formation of a new library at Louvain to replace that burnt by the Germans, 
and it was resolved that copies of all the publications of the Society should 
be sent, including a set of the Magazine, complete, except for a few scarce 
numbers. The re-appointment of the Rev. E. H. Goddard as the repre- 
sentative of the Society on the Town Trust of Wootton Bassett, made 
provisionally at the last committee meeting, was confirmed. A vote of 
thanks was accorded to the Rev. A. W. Stote, for the good work he has 
done in compiling an abstract of a large number of deeds given by Mr. J. 
Moulton connected with the Manor of Bradford-on-Avon. A letter was 
read from Mr. A. W. N. Burder, F.S.A., stating that as he was leaving 
Bradford he could no longer act as the representative of the Society in the 
care of the tithe barn, and suggesting that Mr. Ambrose Elton, of Bradford, 
would be willing to take his place. ‘The meeting gladly accepted Mr. 
Elton’s offer and appointed him as the representative of the Society in this 
matter. : 

Mr. A. D. Passmore drew attention to the fact that the entrance to the 
tunnel in the side of Silbury Hill, made by the Archeological Institute’s 
excavation in 1849, had recently fallen in, and that numbers of people were 
continually getting into the tunnel. He suggested that unless the entrance 
was filled up again an unsightly scar on the side of the hill would result. 
The hon. secretary was directed to write to Mr. C. R. Peers, I’.S.A., the 
Inspector of Ancient Monuments, and ascertain the precise position of 
the hill with respect to the Ancient Monuments Act. Mr. Passmore also 
drew attention to the dangerous undermining of one of the supports of the 
Devil’s Den at Clatford by the weather, and the hon. secretary was directed 
to make enquiries about this also.

the saidJohn Nicholas by virtue of the before pretended lease whoe assigned 
the premisses to his Mother the relict of the said John Nicholas for the

enjoyed for anie part of the said terme but that the same hath beene 
sequestred for the use of the Commonwealth by the Committee of Wiltes 
by reason of the said St Edward Nicholas his delinquencie and is now en- 
joyed by Mt. Walter Norman minister there by order of the said Committee.

THE EARLY NORMAN CASTLE AT DEVIZES. 


By E. Herpert Stone! 


Introductory Note. 


From such evidence as is available we are led to conclude that 
the first Castle at Devizes, built in early Norman times, was of 
the “motte and bailey” type with a wooden keep as was usual at 
that period. Also, that the great earthworks which still exist 
were thrown up to form the citadel of this early fortress, and 
were afterwards utilized for the Castle built by Bishop Roger. 

We are further led to conclude that this early Castle at Devizes 
was probably of about the same date and of similar design to the 
early Norman (pre-Roger) Castle at Old Sarum, at which the 
Conqueror held his great assembly in August, 1086. 


The site in the pre-Norman period. 


In regard to the conditions of the site in the pre-Norman period, 
the conclusions arrived at may be briefly summarized as follows :— 

First, It appears probable that in pre-historic times the site 
was occupied by an early British fortified settlement (so-called 
“camp ”) of the class of which there are several remains in this 
part of Wiltshire. 

Second. There is abundant evidence of the occupation of the 
place in Roman times. The promontory was perhaps held by a 
garrison, and in the neighbourhood were probably villas and gardens 
_ belonging to Roman officers or to well-to-do Romano-British land- 
holders. 

1 Barly in the present year, 1919, Mr. EK. H. Stone gave to the Society’s 
| Library at Devizes a copy of his work entitled “ Devizes Castle—its History 
and Romance,” in six bound volumes (typewritten), together with a large 
separate volume of plans. The present paper covers a section of this work 
but has been largely re-written for the Magazne. For further account of 
| the “ History ” and an abridgment of it printed in the Woltshire Gazette 


| from May 29th to August 28th, see “ Wiltshire Books, &c.,” at the end of 


_ this number of the Magazine. [Eprror. ]

418 The Early Norman Castle at Devizes. 


Third. We may consider it probable that at the time of the 
Norman Conquest the place was a Saxon “burh” (or borough); and 
that this cireumstance, combined with the natural strength of the 
promontory, led to that site being adopted for the first Norman 
Castle, 


The site was Church property. 


The land occupied by the Castle and its precinets was Church 
property belonging to the see of Salisbury, and was therefore under 
the administration of the Bishop. Some notes on the bishoprics 
in this part of Wessex in Saxon times are given in Appendix A. 

The town of Devizes and the Castle site on the promontory 
belonged to the Church manor of Bishop’s Cannings. The Old — 
Park belonged to the Church manor of Potterne. Some notes on 
the manor of Bishop’s Cannings are given in Appendix B, 


Description of the Site. 


When the Normans came upon the scene the general features of 
the site were probably but little changed since the time when the — 
place was occupied by the early British settlement a thousand 
years before. . 

The Castle mound and its surrounding moat did not then exist, 
The promontory projecting out over the valley was approximately | 
level with a slight slope towards the south-west; 7.¢., from the | 
Devizes plateau towards the valley. Where the back premises 
of the Bear Hotel now stand the neck of land connecting the 
promontory with the main plateau was cut across by the great 
diteh and rampart which had we may suppose been constructed 
in bye-gone times for the defence of the early British settlement, 
(See below.) | 

The site thus isolated was in the form of an irregular oval, of 
about 900 feet by 550 feet, having an area of between nine and ten 
acres. 


Comparison with Old Sarum. 


Allowing for the difference in the physical conformation of the 


by EH. Herbert Stone. 419 | 


ground, the earthworks at Devizes in a general way much resemble 
the corresponding earthworks at Old Sarum, and were probably 
executed at the same periods. As far as is known, moreover, the 
history of the fortress at each place is very similar both in pre- 
historic and in Norman times, and the Norman Castles at both 
places were built by the same persons and at about the same dates. 

During the years 1909, 1910, and 1911, a committee appointed 
by the Society of Antiquaries conducted a most interesting 
series of excavations on the site of the Castle of Old Sarum 
the results of which are published in the reports. The con- 
elusions arrived at by the committee in regard to constructions 
connected with the first Castle at Old Sarum may no doubt be 
considered applicable also to corresponding constructions at Devizes. 


Prehistoric Earthworks. 


At Old Sarum the great earthwork forming the outer ditch and 
rampart is pre-historic, and in the opinion of the Excavation 
Committee “may be of the Karly Iron Age or even earlier.” This 

work corresponds with the great ditch and rampart at Devizes 
which cut across the root of the promontory at the back of the 
| Bear Hotel. At Old Sarum, however, this outer defence completely 
‘encircles the fortress; but at Devizes, owing to the formation of 
the ground, it was only required to isolate the promontory and 
‘died out at each end where it entered the valley. 
If marked on a modern map of Devizes the location of this great 
“diteh and rampart which defended the north-eastern side of the 
| promontory would be as follows:—Starting from the head of the 
| valley near the upper end of Station Road, it passes through the 
jsite of the Corn Exchange and the back of the Bear Hotel, past 
“ie back of the Crown Hotel, across the present approach road to 
he Castle, and ends at the head of the valley at the back of 
Beech Cottage. The greater part of this work is now levelled and 


| Some notes on the earthworks and history of the first Castle at Old 
Sarum are given in a paper by the author entitled ‘““The Castle at Old 
/Sarum.” The paper is not published, but a copy is available for reference 
jin the Library of the Museum at Devizes.

obliterated, but a good section of the ditch was obtained when 
excavating for the foundations of the Corn Exchange. 

In Norman times this earthwork was utilized for the defence of 
the outer bailey, with entrance by a drawbridge where the present 
Castle Lane crosses. — 


The Castle Mound. 


It has been supposed that the Castle Mound is to a great extent 
a natural formation, and that the presence of this mound or 
hillock caused the site to be selected for the pre-historic fortress. 

It may however be observed, in the first place, that in a pre- 
historic fortified settlement there would have been no castle or | 
citadel, and those early people would therefore not have been 
attracted by a mound for which they had no use. ‘here are 
moreover no similar hillocks in the neighbourhood, and its form is 
not that of a natural hillock but is a sort of crater, the level of the 
bottom of the crater being very little above that of the outside 
ground. If however there was actually a natural rise in the 
ground on the site of the Norman “ motte,” 1b is evident from cross 
sections that have been taken that such rise in the ground at any 
rate could not have been of a greater height than about five feet, 

It is further to be noted that it is found by the cross sections | 
that the earth excavated from the moat would be about sufficient | 
to make the mound, 

It is in fact just the sort of mound which was commonly thrown | 
up in early Norman times for the “ motte” of a “ motte-and-bailey 


> 


castle. It closely resembles the corresponding earthwork at Old ih 


Sarum, regarding which the Excavation Committee report that:— |) 


“ there can be little doubt that it was thrown up immediately after | 
the Norman Conquest as the stronghold of a Castle of which it |) 
formed the Inner Bailey.” (General Report, p. 4). | 
The conclusion regarding this central earthwork is therefore as | 
follows :— | 
(v1) It is entirely the work of man. 

(b) It is not pre-historic. i 

(c) It is the earthwork for the citadel and inner bailey of an j | 
Karly Norman “ motte-and-bailey ” Castle. =

by H. Herbert Stone. 421 


The appearance of height of the citadel earthwork is somewhat 
deceptive, as at first sight one does not realise how much of the 
apparent height is really due to the depth of the moat. 

For the earthworks as they now exist (as viewed from the 
present lodge entrance) the height of the mound above ground 
level is about 28 feet, and the depth of the moat below ground 
Jevel is about 18 feet. Hence the apparent total height from 
the bottom of the moat to the top of the mound is about 46 feet. 

For these dimensions the height of the mound is taken to the 
highest part of the terrace on the west side of the present build- 
ing. Onthe east side of the building, facing the entrance lodge, 
the level of the carriage drive just in front of the front door is 
about 8 feet lower, viz., about 20 feet above ground level. 


Cross Sections available. 


The author has made a large number of measurements and cross 
sections of the earthworks in various directions, which shew clearly 
the nature of the position and serve also to elucidate questions 
connected with the construction of the defences. ‘These sections 
would be expensive to reproduce, but the originals are available 
for reference by anyone interested in the subject. 


General Remarks. 


It is obvious that a heavy structure of masonry cannot with 
safety be erected on a newly-formed earthwork. It is therefore 
generally recognized by archeologists that where a stone keep is 
found on a “motte” there can be no doubt that it has replaced an 


older keep which had been built of wood; and where a stone wall 


is found on an earthen rampart it is clear that the original defence 


was a stockade. Where the original keep is of stone there is no 


i 
? 


i 


“motte,” and where the original walls are of stone there is no 
earthen rampart. 


The great earthworks of Devizes Castle are thus in themselves 


sufficient evidence that the first castle had a wooden keep, and 
_ that the ramparts of the inner bailey were surmounted by stockades. 


The “motte and bailey” with wooden keep was the usual type

422 The Karly Norman Castle at Devizes, 


for castles built in England soon after the Norman Conquest. The | 
Saxons did not build castles, but a few fortresses of this type were 
built in the reign of Edward the Confessor under foreign influence. | 

We learn from the “ Annales Monasterii de Wintonia” that the 4 
Castle of Devizes was destroyed by fire in the year 1113. We 
moreover find it noted by several authorities that the great Castle 
of Bishop Roger was a re-building (“re-edification ””) of an older | 
structure. | 


Summary of the evidence. 


As regards the probable builder of the first Norman Castle — 
at Devizes, and the approximate date of its construction, the 
evidence before us may be summarized as follows :— : 

(a) The fortress was of the “motte and bailey” type. | 

(b) The Keep was situated on a great mound formed of the | 
earth thrown up from a wide and deep ditch by which the Inner 
Bailey was surrounded. These earthworks were afterwards utilised — 
for the Castle of Bishop Roger, and still remain. They are very 
similar to the corresponding earthworks at Old Sarum. | 

(c) The Keep was of wood, and the Inner Bailey was defended | 
by an earthen rampart surmounted by a stockade. | 

(d@) The Castle was not built by the Saxons. | 
(e) It was built by Normans, or at any rate under foreign in- 
fluence. | 
(f) The date of its building was probably between 1040 and | 
1100. 

(g) The Castle site was in the Manor of Bishop’s Cannings. 
This was Church property under the Bishop of the diocese. The | 
see was at Ramsbury (near Marlborough) until 1058. From 1058 | 
to 1076 the see was at Sherborne, and from 1076 onwards, at 
Sarum (see Appendix A). 

(h) This older Castle was destroyed by fire in 1113. : 

Combining (e) and (g) we are led to conclude that this older | 
(Early Norman) Castle was built by a Norman or a foreigner, and 
that he was a bishop of the diocese, | 

The bishops of the diocese at about that period were :—Brihtwold

(Saxon), died 1045; Hermann, (emg), 1045 to 1078; 
~Osmund (Norman), 1078 to 1099. 
Bishop Roger, the builder of the later Castle, succeeded Osmund. 
Roger was appointed 1102, and consecrated 1107. 
From the foregoing it would appear probable that the Early 
Norman (pre-Roger) Castle at Devizes was built either by Her- 
mann or by Osmund. 


Considerations regarding Bishop Osmund. 


In a separate paper entitled “The Castle at Old Sarum,” the 
author has collected such evidence as is available concerning the 
first Castle at that place. The Castle at Old Sarum was built on 
a “motte” similar to that of Devizes, and the evidence available 
leads to the conclusion that it was the work either of Hermann or 
of Osmund, more probably the latter. 

From the design of the earthworks we may be certain that the 
first Castle at Devizes was constructed at or about the same date as 
the first Castle at Old Sarum, and from independent considerations 
in each case we are further led to conclude that both Castles were 
the work of the same builder, 

An important authority, Colonel William Hawley, F.S.A., (who 
was engaged on the Old Sarum excavations for the Society of 
Antiquaries), gives his opinion that the first Castle at Old Sarum 
and the first Castle at Devizes were both the work of Bishop 
Osmund.! 


In the time of the Empress Mand and Henry II., when the 


“restoration of the Castle and Manor to the See of Salisbury was 


under consideration, we find the name of Bishop Osmund men- 
tioned as a prominent person in this connection, but there is no 
reference to Bishop Hermann or to any earlier prelate. In the 
charter signed by Prince Henry at Devizes Castle on 13th April, 
1149, it is stated that the Manor of Cannings is “restored to the 


' Church of Sarum and to Jocelin her bishop . . . as freely and

it is provided that as regards the Manor “the See may be placed 
on the same footing which it held in the days of Bishop Osmund,” 

Bishop Osmund was a great Norman noble, a nephew of the 
Conqueror. He accompanied his uncle on the invasion of England 
and was given the Lordship of Sarum with large grants of lands in 
Wiltshire and other counties.. On the death of Hermann in 1078 
Osmund was consecrated Bishop of Salisbury. He would require 
a suitable residence in this part of his diocese; and, with his dis- 
tinguished position and previous career, he would naturally prefer 
a Castle to the old Saxon Bishop’s house at Ramsbury. 


General Conclusions. 


With the evidence before us it thus appears probable that the 
Early Norman Castle at Devizes was the work of Bishop Osmund 
and that it was completed about the year 1080. The date at any 
rate could not have been much later than this to allow time for 
the new earthworks to settle sufficiently to bear with safety the 
masonry keep, walls, and towers, afterwards erected thereon by 
Bishop Roger. The Castle of Bishop Roger was probably built | 
between the years 1113 and 1120. 


Description of the first Castle. 


On the highest part of the “ motte,” on the eastern side overlook- 
ing Devizes, was the Keep, This was a timber structure of the | 
style which may be described as a big log house. It probably had | 
three storeys; the first or basement, just above ground level, in 
which were kept stores and munitions; the second storey, in which | 
were the common living rooms and the private apartments of the | 
lord and his family ; the third or upper ae consisting mostly 
of garrets, and a chapel. 

Below, and partly surrounding the Keep, was the Inner Bailey | 
defended by an earthen rampart surmounted by. a stockade of 
timber. This, with the Keep, formed the Citadel of the Castle | 
and was surrounded by a wide and deep Moat. The gate-way of 
the Inner Bailey was on the northern side, the Moat being crossed | 
by a drawbridge. The earthworks of the Citadel and the Moat re- | 
main to the present day. | 


by E. Herbert Stone. 425 


The remaining part of the promontory was occupied by the 
Outer Bailey. This included the piece of land now known as 
“ Castle Grounds,” and extended from the Citadel to what is now 
the back of the Bear Hotel. 

_ The defence of the Outer Bailey, facing the town, consisted of a 


: 
: 
| 


wide and deep ditch, the earth excavated from which had been 
thrown up on the inner side to form a rampart. This earthwork 
is believed to have been executed in the pre-historic period, and in 
Norman times it was adopted for the defence of the new Castle, 


It was furnished with a timber stockade on the top of the rampart ; 
and facing the town, in the middle of what is now Castle Lane, 
was a gateway with a drawbridge. 


APPENDIX A. 
EARLY BISHOPRICS IN WESSEX.! 


Wessex, in the reign of King Kynegils, was converted to 
| Christianity by Birinus, who was sent on this mission by Pope 
Honorius in 635. 

| Birinus became the first Bishop of Wessex, the see being then 
at Dorchester, in Oxfordshire. 

The first Saxon Cathedral at Winchester was founded by King 


Kynegils in 635, and was completed by his son and successor, 
: Cenwalh, in the year 650. The succeeding kings of Wessex were 
| buried there. | 

In the year 661, in the reign of King Cenwalh, the diocese was 
divided. Mercia remained in the see of Dorchester, and a separate 
"see for Wessex was created at Winchester. The two sees con- 


5 


tinued, however, to be administered by one bishop until the time 
of Bishop Hedda in 679 when they were finally separated. 

On the death of Hedda, in the year 705 in the reign of King 
| iina, the diocese of Winchester was in its turn divided, a new see 
being created at Sherborne. The extent of the two bishoprics was 
i then as follows :—

Surrey, Berkshire, Hampshire, and about two-thirds of Wiltshire 
east of Selwood forest. 

Sherborne. Under Bishop Aldhelm :—the western third part of 


Wiltshire (including Malmesbury, Bradford-on-Avon, and Bishop- | 
strow near Warminster), with Dorset and all the conquered part 
of Somerset and Devon. . 
Both Daniel and Aldhelim had been pupils of the Irish monk | 
Maidulph at Malmesbury. Aldhelm was Abbot of Malmesbury, | 
and at the desire of the monks retained that office after he became 
Bishop of Sherborne. He died in the year 709 at the age of 70, 
In the year 909, in the reign of Edward the Elder, the dioceses | 
of Winchester and Sherborne being both vacant, it was arranged 
to provide a separate see for Hampshire at Winchester, and to 
assign Berkshire to a new see at Ramsbury. The diocese of Sher- : 
borne was moreover divided into four, three new sees being created. 
The result of this re-arrangement was as follows :— 
Winchester, under Bishop Frithstan, Hampshire. 
Ramsbury, under Bishop Ethelstan, Wiltshire and Berkshire. 
The diocese was that of Wilton (the old capital of Wiltshire) | 
but the Bishop’s “seat” was at Ramsbury, near Marlborough. | 


There was also an episcopal residence at Sunning, in Berkshire. 
hence we find the holder of the diocese sometimes given the title 
of “ Bishop of Sunning.” 

Sherborne, under Bishop Werstan, Dorset. 

Wells, under Bishop Athelm, Somerset. 

Cr Hg, under Pap OR Kadulf, ies 


death of Bishop Brihtwold, the see of Rance was bestitwed f | 
Hermann, a Fleming, who had been chaplain to the King, In thejy 
year 1058, on the death of Bishop Elfwold, the see of Sherborne; 
became vacant, and Bishop Hermann then persuaded the King Lol) 
add the see of Sherborne to that of Ramsbury. This combined)” 
diocese now included Wiltshire, Berkshire, and Dorset, and the 
bishop’s seat was established at Sherborne. 

In 1076 the bishop’s seat for this diocese was removed from”

Sherborne to Sarum, and Hermann thus became the first Bishop 
of Salisbury. 

Bishop Hermann died in April, 1078, and was succeeded by 
Osmund, Lord of Seez, a Norman noble of great wealth and dis- 
tinction. Osmund died in December, 1099.

For the information given in this note the author is mostly in- 
debted to two authorities, viz. :— 

Historical Memoirs of the Parish of Bishop’s Cannings,” by Arch- 
deacon Macdonald, Wilts Arch. Mag., 1860, vol. VI., pp. 129— 
159 (referred to as “ Macdonald Hist. Memoirs”). 

“ Domesday for Wiltshire,” by Canon W. H, Jones. Published 
by Peach (Bath) and by Longmans, 1865 (referred to as “Jones 


Domesday). 


Early History. 

Regarding the early history of Bishop’s Cannings Archdeacon 
Macdonald remarks as follows :— 

“The Parish of Cannings Episcopt, ov Bishop’s Cannings, is in 
point of extent the largest in the Hundred of Potterne and Can- 
ings, containing upwards of 11,000 acres. 

It was anciently part of a larger district, called Cannings, which 
included both this parish and that of All Cannings. 

“Cannings was first a family name imported into England 
twelve centuries ago . . . In Domesday Book Bishop’s Can- 
ninys appears to be called ‘Kainingham,’ 2.¢., Canning’s estate or 
farm; but in other records of or about that period it is simply 
‘Canynges, as in Bishop Osmund’s Deed of Foundation of Old 
Sarum Cathedral, A.D. 1091, in which it is called ‘ Heelesia de 
Canyngas.” This is in fact the true original word, being the nom- 
inative plural in the Saxon declension of the family or clan of 
Canning ” (Macdonald— Hist. Memoirs, p. 121—123). 


428 The Early Norman Castle at Devizes. 


All Cannings is perhaps “ Old Cannings” —Al] being the equiva- 
lent of the Saxon Hd (old) (Maedonald—Hist. Memoirs, p. 121). 


The Manor belonged to the Church. 

At the time of the compilation of Domesday Book the Manor 
of Bishop’s Cannings (there called Kainingham) belonged to the 
Church as represented by the Bishop of Salisbury, All Cannings — 
(there called Caninge) belonged to the Church of St. Mary at | 
Winchester, | 

The date of the grant of the Manor of Bishop’s Cannings to the 
Church is not known. Archdeacon Macdonald notes that it was 
probably made by the Crown of Wessex in very ancient times 
(Hist. Memoirs p. 124). 

Canon Jones remarks, “I should be much inelined to believe 
that both Cannings and Potterne were endowments of the see 
when it was first founded in 909 in the time of Edward the Elder. 
In the Hundred Rolls of Henry III. Cannings is said to have be- 
longed to the Bishop of Sarum from an ancient grant (“ex antiquo 
feoffamento or “per antiquum usum”) but the jurors could give no 
more definite information.” (Jones— Potterne”—Wuts Arch, 
Mag., xvi,, p. 250.) 

In Domesday Book under “ III. Land of the Bishop of Salisbury,” 
is entered :—“ The same Bishop holds Kainingham. In the time of 
King Edward it paid geld for 70 hides. The land is 45 carucates. 
Of this 10 hides are in demesne. . . . . ‘Ihe demesne of the © 
Bishop is worth £60. What the others hold is worth £35.” (Jones 
—Domesday, p. 22.) 

The Hundred of Kainingham here referred to included the 
present parish of Bishop’s Cannings with Southbroom, Roundway, 
and Coate. (Jones—Domesday, p. 173.) | 


The Estate of Bishop Osmund. 

Although the lordship of the manor and the greater part of the 
land was thus vested in the see of Salisbury, Osmund himself held 
in the Hundred of Cannings a considerable estate, which included 
the parish Church. 


By E, Herbert Stone. 429 


In the “Exon Domesday ” (of which the original manuscript is 
preserved in the Cathedral at Mxeter) under “ Cannings Hundred” 
is an entry as follows:—“In the Hundred of Cannings are 70 
hides. Of these Bishop Osmund has 10 hides in demesne, and for 
60 hides there are paid to the King £60.” (Jones—Domesday, 
pe l73:)+ 

Bishop Osmund made a grant of this estate to the Dean and 
Canons of Salisbury, to be held by them as an independent property 
not merged in the general lordship of the see, The following 
passages are quoted from the paper by Archdeacon Macdonald :— 

“The Dean and Canons of Salisbury had here a small manor 
called “Cannings Canonicorum”; which they held till lately 
together with the great tithes of the parish, by gift of Osmund, first 
Bishop of Sarum after the Conquest.” (Hist, Memoirs, p. 124.) 

“The Church of Cannings with glebe, great tythes, and a cer- 
tain portion of the small tythes was granted by the munificent 
Bishop Osmund to the Dean and Canons of Salisbury, with epis- 
copal jurisdiction over the parish.” (Zbid, p. 141.) 


Regarding Devizes. 

“The name of ‘Kainingham’ in this Record [7.e, Domesday ] 
included of course not only the Tything of Cannings, but the whole 
parish or manor of Bishop’s Cannings; of which, at the time the 
Domesday Survey was taken, the Borough, ‘Park, and Castle of 
Devizes formed a part. . . . . There is at least no mention 
of Devizes by name in the Record, and as it was then included in 
the Bishop’s Manor, it is presumed to have been included under 
this name of Kainingham.”  (Macdonald—Hist. Memorrs, p. 124.)

Domesday” given above.

The Place Names of Wiltshire, their Origin and 
History. By Hinar Ekblom. Uppsala, 1917. 
Appelbergs Boktryckeri, A.B. 


8vo., stiff paper cover, pp. including title, preface, bibliography, and 
list of abbreviations, vi. + 187 + 1 page of errata. 

The author, who dates his preface from Uppsala, notes the large 
number of works dealing with English Place Names, but adds this 
caustic, and alas, perfectly true comment, “as far as one can see the 
study of English place-names has to a certain extent fallen into the 
hands of persons who have not sufficient knowledge of philology to be 
able to fulfil their task in a satisfactory way.” “The importance of 
the dialects as a factor in the development of the names seems entirely 
neglected.” As tothe scope of his work the author says “In this 
work are discussed all Wiltshire place-names given in Bartholomew’s 
Gazetteer of the British Isles(1911 edition) of which forms, previous to 
A.D. 1500, have been found.” ‘“‘I have endeavoured to get as many 
spellings as possible represented, and for this reason the collection of 
material may claim to be fairly complete.” ‘The place-names of 
Wiltshire have not be subjected to any scientific investigation before 
with the exception of a few names ” (e.g. Cricklade, Devizes, Malmes- 
bury). That the author’s claim that his collection of material is 
“ fairly complete” is justified, is proved by the fact that his Bibliography 
of works consulted covers more than 9 pages and contains 178 refer- 
ences. The author is confessedly an Old English and not a Celtic 
scholar, and of Knook, Knoyle, and other names to which he attributes 
a Celtic origin, he deliberately attempts no explanation, they “ must be 
left to Celtic Scholars.” But of such names there are few in Wiltshire, 
and of the great majority of place names he finds an old English de- 
rivation suggested by the earliest spellings of the name. The value of 
the book indeed for the general reader who has no expert knowledge of 
Old or Middle English, lies largely in the lists of spellings (often ten or 
more) from first-hand dated authorities which accompany each name. 
The author is severe in his notes on many identifications of names occur- 
ring in Saxon Charters, by Kemble, Birch,and other writers, as situated in 
Wiltshire, and generally gives reasons why they are obviously worng. 


434 Wiltshire Books, Pamphlets, and Artitles. 


Throughout the book he gives evidence of either a wide personal know- 
ledge of the County, or of a most careful study of the ordnance map, 
and enquiry from those who do know it. Indeed, as the writer of 
this notice can testify, his enquiries as to the dialectal pronunciation 
of Wiltshire place names and other like matters were extraordinarily 
minute and careful, and this pronunciation he takes into account in — 
his derivations. How far these derivations are as a whole sound can 
only be judged by a professed Anglo-Saxon scholar. Local circum- 
stances have rightly been given their due weight as a rule, but here 
and there such local knowledge seems to have been wanting. Bedwyn 
for instance he derives from ‘‘ Bedwine” or “ Bedwind,” a dialect name 
for the Convolvulus or Bindweed, but unfortunately tie dialect name 
for this plant in Wiltshire is always “ Withwine ” or “ Withwind,” and 
never “ Bedwine.” Again Rowde is derived from the herb Rue. But 
this plant Ruta graveolens though long cultivated in gardens, is not a 
British plant at all, and it is difficult to believe that the Box Tree, 
which is quite unknown asa native of Wiltshire, can have given its 
name to Box, or to see why Clatford should have been singled out 
especially to be called after the “Clite” (Cleavers, or Goosegrass) 
which is so common in every Wiltshire hedge. There can be no doubt 
however, that the book is a scholarly addition to the Wiltshire Library 
and will have to be consulted in future by everyone who is concerned 
with the Etymology of Wiltshire Place-names. 

A copy has been placed in the Society’s Library at Devizes, and it 
can be procured for 6s. from the author, D: v. Ekblom, Norskoping, 
Sweden.

Two Wiltshire Houses: Place House and Hatch 


House, Tisbury, Wiltshire. 


Article by P. M. Johnson in Country Life, May 10th, 1919, pp. 522 
—527, with five illustrations of Place House: excellent photos of the 
outer Gatehouse (both sides and the interior), the inside of the 
Great Barn, and a drawing of the stone medieval Chimney. Of Hatch 
House there is a good photo from the west, and others of the enclosed 
Garden, and the Garden House. 

J. H. Parker said that the room over the gateways of the outer Gate 
House was later than the archways of the lower storey, and was prob- 
ably the Chapel. This Mr. Johnston denies, and regards it as simply 
the gate-keeper’s chamber. The gateway arches are late 13th century, 
and the pair of two-light windows over on the road side are 15th cent. 
insertions, whilst those on the inner side are apparently of the 16th 
cent. The heavy oak floor of the chamber is 13th cent. ‘‘ The Ianer 
Gatehouse is probably of late 15th century date, and is obviously only 
a fragment of a destroyed wing attached to the main house. It is 
pierced by a pair of pointed segmental archways and has an external 
stone stair on the left. Within the ground floor space is a doorway 
which formerly led to a winding stone stair or ‘ vice. There isa plain 
Tudor window of two lights to the first floorroom. ‘The house proper, 
attached at a skewed angle to this, is older, probably by a century, but 
has suffered much loss and mutilation. It retains some original win- 


_ dows of plain character and one or two old doorways. One of its most 


interesting features is the kitchen fireplace, having a four- centred stone 
arch, one of the widest in span for a chimney arch of any in England. 
Hard by a pipe conducts a brisk stream of water from the hill, which 
now empties by a tap over a sink, but in living memory fulfilled one 
of its original functions, viz., to turn the spit in the great fireplace. 
Outside may be seen the wonderful medizval stone chimney of louvre 
form, octagonal in plan, with a pair of arched openings in each face 
terminating in a short pyramidal cap or spire, in the sides of which 
are other blocked openings, and a huge stone poppy-head or finial. 
This fine chimney which is certainly one of the largest of its class—it 
is about 6ft. in diameter—is carried up athwart its pack-saddle stone 
seating in the centre of the roof ridge to about 8ft. from the ridge. 
Its date may be about 1480.” At the S. end of the house the roof with 
cusped principals appears to be of the 14th cent. ‘The last room at the 
S. end has a stone frieze cz". 1540, with the initials A.M. (for Matthew 
Arundell of Wardour) alternated with a lion rampant and a wolf. The 
Barn dates from the beginning of the 15th cent. (as, says the writer, 
does the similar example at Bradford-on-Avon) It measures i88ft. x 
32ft. internally against the 168ft. x 33ft. of the Bradford Barn, 
Opposite it stands a range of contemporary stables with small 15th 
century single-light windows. 

Of Hatch House the writer says :—‘' Ihe house is an excellent speci- 
men of the later seventeenth century type, in which there linger. . .

border. Biddesden was part of the possessions of Amesbury Abbey, but 
in the reign of Ed. VI. it passed with the royal manor of Ludgershall to 
Sir Richard Brydges, who, dying in 1558 was buried at Ludgershall. A 
later heiress carried the estates to the Browne family. Sir George 
Browne died 1678 and was buried at Gt. Shefford, and from his widow 
in 1692 it came to Gen. John Richmond Webb, younger son of Col. Ed- 

~ mund Webb, who was M.P. for Cricklade and commanded a regiment 
against Monmouth in 1685. John Richmond Webb became a cornet in 
the Queen’s Regt. of Dragoons 1687, when he was about 20 years old. In 
1690 he became M.P. for Ludgershall, and again in 1701 when his 
father was returned with him. He distinguished himself as a brigadier 
at Blenheim,and fought as a major-general at Ramillies and Oudenarde, 
under Marlborough. During the siege of Lille he commanded a force 
which routed with great loss at Wynandaele a I'rench attack upon a 
great convoy whose safe arrival was vital to the success of the besieging 
army, and Marlborough congratulated him on the victory, but his 
secretary in communicating the news to the London Gazette assigned 
the whole credit to Cadogan, who commanded a body of cavalry which 
took no actual part in the fight. Webb, the Tory member for Ludger- 
shall, got leave to come home and give Queen Anne a true account of 
the battle, and his narrative was published, and became an asset in the 
political quarrels of the day. He continued M.P. for Ludgershall till 
1722. He began building Biddesden House in 1711, and was appointed 
Commander of the Land Forces in Great Britain in 1712, in which 
year Wootton painted the large equestrian portrait of him which still 
dominates the hall at Biddesden. Portions of an earlier house, re-faced 
and re-windowed, are incorporated in the offices, including a round 
tower at the N. E. corner, in which he hung a bell from Lille dated 
1660. His first wife was a Borlase, and their son Borlase Webb, 
succeeded to Biddesden on his father’s death in 1724 and was M.P. for 
Ludgershall until 1734. The house remains as it was built, “ hardly 
a brick without or a panel within has been removed or changed.” The 
place was bought by the Hon. Guy Baring, M.P. for Winchester in 
1914. He fell in the war.

Edward Wyndham Tennant. A Memoir by his 
mother, Pamela Glenconner. With portraits in

Lane & Co. MCMXIX. 


8vo., linen, pp. including titles and introduction xi. + 334, including 
index. Seven photogravure portraits. 

Born at Stockton House, July 1st, 1897, the subject of this memoir 
was educated at West Downs, Winchester, and afterwards at Win- 
chester College. On the outbreak of War having already left Win- 
chester he joined the Grenadier Guards at the age of 17, the youngest 
Wykehamist in the Army. After a year’s training in England he went 
to France in Sept., 1915, and fell at the Battle of the Somme on the 
22nd Sept., 1916. Resembling his uncle, George Wyndham, in many 
ways, ‘‘ Bim” had the same vivid and charming personality and the 
same eager interest in literature. In this delightful and touching book 
he is allowed to be largely autobiographical. From his earliest school 
days until his death his letters to his mother reveal, absolutely without 
self-consciousness or posing, his always happy nature. He enjoys every- 
thing that comes in his way. Everybody that he meets is delightful. 
He hasn’t an ill word to say of anybody that he ever came across. 
With all this boyish zest in life, the deepest springs of his nature shine 
out in every letter he writes; his love for his mother and his home at 
Wilsford and in Scotland, and the instinct for poetry that he possessed. 
“Sometimes,” he writes, ‘I think if I live I shall be a poet one day. 
Not by looking at what I have done, but because of feeling what I may 
do; of thinking of all I could do.” He was always breaking out into 
spontaneous verse in his letters, and was actually correcting the proofs 
of a volume of verse, “‘ Worple Flit,” in the trenches just before the 
battle of the Somme. A selection of these poems is printed at the 
end of the memoir. If the purpose of a Biography is to present the 
subject thereof before the reader as he lived, then this book ranks high 
among Biographies. In the beautiful letter which he wrote to his 
mother from the trenches immediately before his death he says “ your 
love for me and my love for you have made my whole life one of the 
happiest there has ever been.” A number of extracts from letters re- 
ceived after his death from all sorts and conditions of men testify to 
the singular charm that he had for all with whom he come in contact, 
and not least for both officers and men of his regiment, ‘‘ Mr. Tennant 
is the officer for us.”

Wiltshire Books, Pamphlets, and Articles. 


Cr. 8vo., stiff paper cover, pp. including title 63. Photos of Malmes- 
bury ; Abbey from South, S. Porch, W. Front and Bell Inn; Cross; 
Bell Inn; King’s Arms and High Street. Price 2s. 6d. net. 

This little book which the author tells us is an expansion of an 
article printed in 1912, in The Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard, 
fulfils its purpose of a handy Guide Book to Malmesbury excellently. 
It does not pretend to give much original information, but the abstract 
of the history of the town and Abbey is carefully done, and the details 
given are both well-chosen and accurate, which is not by any means 
always the casein popnlar guide books. Moreover the authority for the 
author’s statements is generally given, and where there is doubt or 
divergence of opinion, both sides of the question are shortly touched on. 
He notes that, contrary to what has been sometimes stated, there is no 
original charter by Athelstan to the Zown, as opposed tothe Abbey, in 
the British Museum, and it is doubtful if any earlier copy than that on | 
the Patent Roll of 5 Rich. II. exists. There is a charter of Edward the | 
Confessor among the Cart. Antiq. (Chancery Enrolments). Itisinter- | 
esting to note that the “‘ Commoners ” still “ dine with King Athelstan” 9 
annually on the Tuesday after Trinity Sunday. As to the date of the | 
nave of the Church, the writer follows Prof. Lethaby (Med. Art., p. 153) | 
whom he quotes as putting the pointed arcade of the nave and the aisle | 
vaults at car. 1160, and the S. Porch at not earlier than 1170—1180. The | 
architectural description of the Church is good and is given in con- | 
siderable detail, several points such as the position and purpose of the — 
screen at the east end being knowledgably discussed. ‘The author | 
mentions that the Old Tudor Vicarage [wooden spandrels from the | 
door are incorporated in a chair preserved in the parvise of the Abbey 
Church] stood on the site of the White Lion yard. He notes too 
that the Vicars of Malmesbury are still inducted in the tower of St. | 
Paul’s Church, the old Parish Church. In the course of some excava- — 
tions at the Bell Inn in 1890, just to the w. of the Abbey Church, a 
vaulted chamber was discovered under the “ Lodge Room ” containing | 
eight stone coffins. This was walled up and the coffins were not dis- 
turbed. On the same spot was found “a wall six feet thick, in which 
was the skeleton of a woman standing erect.” In 1910 another stone | 
coffin 7f{t. long was found. 

It is curious that no mention is made of Mr. Brakspear as the most | 
authoritative writer on the architecture of the Abbey Church. One | 
small slip may be noted—the manuscript Bible now in the parvise may | 
probably have belonged to the Abbey Library but was certainly not | 
produced in Malmesbury, as the Flemish inscription in the last volume 
states that the scribe was paid for the work by the Prior of Cappellan, | 
probably Capelle Aux Bois, near Brussels. | 


Devizes Castle: Its History and Romance. By E. | 


Herbert Stone. Under this title the Wiltshire Gazette printed, | 
(in a series of twelve articles from May 29th to August 28th, 1919) an 
abridgment of the author’s larger work, of which he has presented a |

copy bound in six foolscap size volumes to the Society’s Library 
at Devizes Museum. This larger history is typewritten and has not 
been printed ; but a volume contaiming the portions printed in the 
Gazette together with additional matter is announced as shortly to be 
issued by Messrs. George Simpson & Co., of Devizes. 

The articles as they appeared in the Gazette consist of a General 
Introduction, and ten sections or chapters, headed :—The Prehistoric 
Settlement; The Roman Period: The Saxon Period ; The Early Nor- 
man Castle; The Castle of Bishop Roger: Some Historic Episodes ; 
The King’s Castle ; Transfer to Private Owners; In the Time of Crom- 
wells Later History; with two appendices, giving lists of the Governors 
of the Castle from 1199 to 1301, and of the Queens of England to 
whom the Castle was granted as a part of their dower. 

In the larger “‘ History” in six type-written volumes, presented to 
the Museum Library, the subject is dealt with under the same sections 
or periods as noted above, but the whole work is on a much fuller and 
more complete scale ard contains a great number of references 
to and quotations from all available chronicles and authorities. The 
author indeed has gathered together, as no one has done before him, 
in a convenient form, such information about the Castle, or of events 
connected with its history, as are scattered through the earlier chronicles, 
or the later histories of the Civil War ; and in the last chapter he brings 
the story of the site down to modern times with information regarding 
successive owners and the building of the modern mansion. 

The probable history of the site in Prehistoric and Karly Norman 
days has been dealt with by the author in his paper printed at page 427 
of the present number of the Magazine. The account of the later 
Castle of Bishop Roger is naturally given in the “ History” at much 
greater length. From this period onwards indeed the work is a valuable 
conspectus of all that has been written on the subject. 

In addition to the volumes of the “ History” the author has pre- 
sented to the Society’sLibrary a large book of coloured plans illustrating 
the probable design of the fortifications and particulars of the Castle 
site, largely based on measurements and observations made by hiraself, 
whilst he retains in his own hands a large number of notes, plans, and 
sections open to examination by anyone specially interested in the 


subject.

Some account of the Educational Work done at the 
Salisbury Museum, 1916—1919. By Frank 
Stevens, FSA, Resident Curator. Salisbury 
Times Co., Ltd., Printers, Salisbury. 


Pamphlet, 8vo., pp. including title 32. This is at once an account of 
the remarkable pioneer work accomplished by Mr. Stevens at Salis- ' 
bury, and a plea for the greater use of Museums as a recognised link in ~ 
the educational chain. In 1918 Mr. Stevens lectured to no less than 
166 classes at the Museum, illustrating his lectures by the contents of i 
the Museum. In the case of 83 classes held for the benefit of the 4 
elementary schools of the city, these lectures, chiefly on the history of 
Salisbury, have become an authorised, and, as it appears, one of ihe 
most popular parts of the regular school curriculum. Other classes ~ 
have been held for the benefit of the secondary and private schools, ~ 
teachers, and the Workers’ Education Association, as well as study 
circles for adults generally. Under the terms of the Wilkes bequest a | 
sum of £300 a year is to be expended on the provision of lectures at 
the Museum, of which not less than 12 are to be for the benefit of the | 
elementary schools. Mr. Stevens has given them 83, and the notable ~ 
success which has rewarded his enthusiasm makes his work an example ~ 
which may have a considerable effect throughout the country. :

The Ernles of Wiltshire. A good article (by the Editor, Mr. J. 
J. Slade) in the Wiltshire Gazette, Feb. 13th, 1919, in reference to the 
assumption by Mr. Roland Prothero of the title of Lord Ernle. The 
Ernles were seated at Ernle near Chichester, in the 13th century. 
Agnes, d. of John Malwyn, of Ktchilhampton, married John Best, and 
their daughter and heiress married cer. 1375 John Ernle. The Ernles 
held Etchilhampton until the death of Sir Ed. Erle, Bart., 1728. His 
heiress married Hen. Drax, of Ellerton Abbey, Yorks. The Manor of 
Bourton in Bishops Cannings was purchased by John Ernle on the 
dissolution of the monasteries. Michael Ernle, apparently of Bourton, 
Sheriff of Wilts 1579, married Mary, d. and heiress of Roger Finna- 
more, or Fynamore, of Whetham. The Fynnamores descended from 
Gilbert de Finemere, 1208, and Gilbert de Finemere, 1272, both of 
Whetham. Michael’s son, Sir John Ernle, of Whetham, died 1647—8. 
His son, John Ernle, died 1685. The next Sir John Ernie was M.P. 
for Great Bedwyn, and Chancellor of the Exchequer under Ch. IT. 
His son, Sir John, married Vincentia, d. and heiress of Sir John Kyrle, 
Bart., of Homme House, Herefordshire, dying 1686. His son, John 
Kyrle Ernle, entertained Q@. Anne at Whetham, dying 1725. His d. 
and heiress, Constantia, married Viscount Dupplin, afterwards 8th 
Earl of Kinnoul. She died. 1753, leaving Homme House and Whet- 
ham to her cousin, Francis Money, s. of Hester Ernle. Francis 
Money’s great great grand-daughter, Mrs. Prothero, wife of the Rev. 
George Prothero, Rector of Whippingham, Isle of Wight, was the 
mother of the President of the Board of Agriculture, Mr. Roland 
Prothero, now Lord Ernle. 


the WiltshireGazette,Sept. 25th, 1919,occasioned by the sale of the whole 
property by Mr. G. Watson Taylor to “a Firm of Timber Merchants.” 
The article contains an account of what is known of the present house, 
of the earlier house which preceded it, and of the park and grounds. 
This earlier house, on lower ground near the stream, was (according to 
Mr. John Watson-Taylor) built by George Heathcote, who acquired a 
portion of the estate in 1774, and was pulled down by Joshua Smith, 
M.P. for Devizes and timber merchant of Bristol, who built the existing 
house, completing it in 1791. He also laid out the grounds and built 
the existing village. Britton, however, as the writer points out, says in 
“ Beauties of England and Wales” that the former house was anciently 
a family mansion of the Dukes of Bolton. The account of the visit of 
the Duchess of Kent and Princess Victoria to Mr. Watson-Taylor as 
given in the Gazette of Oct. 28th, 1830, is quoted, with extracts from 
the Diary of Thomas Moore, who was a guest there on the occasion, 
and describes the proceedings pretty fully.

crnament in Mr. Harold Peto’s garden at Iford Manor, near West- 
wood. It was bought by him in Bologna, and certainly came from 
some building erected by Theodoric, possibly the writer thinks St. 
Andrew of the Goths in the vanished port of Classis, near Ravenna.

Pewsey Feast. Mr. Alfred Cook argues in the Wiltshire Gazette, 
Sept. 11th, & Oct. 9th,1919, that the ‘“Scergeat” of the Mercian Chronicle

the Invention of the Holy Cross, to Scergeat and there built the burh ”) 
may be Sharcot, near Pewsey, which he says is often pronounced “ Shar- 
get” locally. He founds his argument on the supposition that Pewsey 
was one of Alfred’s homes, that it had been destroyed by the Danes, 
and that it may have been restored and the Church rebuilt by Aifred’s 
daughter, Ethelfleda.

Trowbridge,a Royal Manor. Article in Wiltshire Times, 
Jan. 11th, 1919, giving some account of the descent of the Manor and 
its connection with successive Kings. It asserts that the famous Earl 
of Clarendon, whose mother was a daughter of Thomas Langford, a 
rich clothier of Trowbridge, was born at Trowbridge in the house 
now occupied by the Trowbridge Conservative Club. The house was 
bought of Mr. Hyde by the Houlton family in 1641. It is asserted 
that this statement made years ago in the Monthly Magazine “has 
never been disputed.” This, however, is by no means the fact. In the 
Life of Clarendon, by Sir Henry Craik, 2 vols., 1911, the author dis- 
cusses the probable birthplace of the chancellor, and decides in favour 
of the Olid Rectory, at Dinton. ‘That he was born at Dinton Sir Henry 
Craik does not doubt.

Labour Troubles in 1726. The Wiltshire Times of Nov. 9th, 


1918, prints two very interesting letters from a Mr. G. Vaughan, ap- 
parently a Commissioner sent by the Government to enquire into 
disturbances amongst the weavers in Trowbridge, Bradford, and 
Melksham, dated from Bath Dec. 31st and Jan. 2nd, 1726. He de- 
seribes the action of the “ Mobbs that have been of late” and how they 
are countenanced by many Gentlemen of the County, “ particularly | 
one Mr. Webb of Mountain Farly . . . . a gentleman of great. 
estate and a stickler among the Tories” “ People of great credit, if not 
the greatest among the weavers are Mr. Long and Mr. Wilson, at 
Trowbridge ; Mr. Meyrick and Mr. Mills at Milsam ; Mr. Tarrant and 
Mr. Methwin of Bradford ; and Webb Esq. at Mountain Farly.” The 
Mob visited Mr. Townsend a Clothier of Calne, who however, got rid 
of them peaceably, and proposed to march to Salisbury, 2000 strong to: 
release one of their number from prison, but were dispersed by the 
dragoons at Bradford with many wounded. In spite of this they 
assembled again to attack the house of Mr. Hileen, “ whoe is a verry 
warme man and apt to runn into violent measures and more hated by 
the populace than ever I knew aman.” Indeed most of the trouble 
is ascribed to his “ indiscretion.” Mr. Vaughan however reports that. 
in spite of a second collision with the soldiers, in which one rioter was 
shot dead, the mob showed no disloyalty to the Government, and had 
chalked their hats ‘“‘G.W.R.,” which they explained to the commissioner 
stood for “‘ King George’s Weavers.” Further letters on the Bradford ~ 
riots from Lord Townsend and Mr. John Cooper, of Trowbridge, are 4 
printed Jan. 4th, 1919, and one from Mr. G. Earle, dated from Eastcourt, | 
near Malmesbury, Dec. 28th, 1726, with reference to the action of the 
clothiers at Westbury and Frome, mentioning the Brothers Phipps, 
‘eminent clothiers” of Westbury, printed January 11th, 1919. A 4 
further short letter from Mr. Earle, ‘‘ Hastcourt, Dec. 31st, 1726,” % 
mentions that scarce any of the weavers can read or write. Printed ~ 
January 25th, 1919. The settlement of the dispute printed Feb. 8th, — 
1919.

Dew Ponds. ‘‘ Nowadays if we see a pond on a dry chalk hill we call 
it a dew-pond, and make a marvel of it. But rain falls on chalk hills 
as it does elsewhere ; and a pan of puddled chalk will hold rain water. 
The rain water is sometimes supplemented by condensed mist, and 
not least on summer nights ; but the mainstay of a dew-pond is rain, 
and the hill-dwellers must have been able to make ponds to hold it 
without any knowledge of thermo-dynamics, or even the modern re- 
finements of layers of rubble and straw.”

[Stonehenge,| An article in The Times, Aug. 27th, 1918, “ Across the 
Plain, the End of the Old Stones,” describes the present condition of 
the structure, dominated by the camps and hangars that surround 
them, “their mystery is spent, their spell is broken, it is the end of the 
old stones.”

C. H. WOODWARD, Printer and Publisher, 
Exchange Buildings, Siation Road, Devizes. 


North Wilts Museum and — 
LIBRARY AT DEVIZES. ' 


In answer to the appeal made in 1905, annual subscriptions 
varying from £2 to 5s., to the amount of about £30 a year for this _ 
purpose have been given since then by about sixty Members of 
the Society and the fund thus set’ on foot has enabled the — 
Cominittee to add'imuch to the efficiency of the Library and 
Museum. 


It is very desirable that this fund should be raised to at least 
£50 a year, in order that the General Fund of the Society may 
be released to a large extent from the cost of the Museum, and 7 by 
set free for the other purposes of the Society. | . 


Subseriptions of 5s..a year, or upwards, are asked for, and 
should be sent either to Mr. D. OwrEn, Bank Chambers, Devizes, — 
or Rey. li. H. Gopparp, Clyffe Vicarage, Swindon, 


The Committee appeal to Members of the Society and others 
to secure any | 


Objects of Antiquity, 
AND 

Specimens of unusual Birds, 

Butterflies, or Moths, ce 
‘found in the County of Wilts and to forward them to the a ‘ 
Hon. Curator, Mr. B. H. Cunnineron, Devizes ; . 
Whilst Old Deeds, Modern Pamphlets, Articles, 
Portraits, Illustrations from recent Magazines — 
or Papers bearing in any way on the County, 
and Sale Particulars of Wiltshire Properties, 


will be most eit received for the Library by the Rev. ® 
Is. H. Gopparp, Clyffe Vicarage, Swindon, Hon. Librarian. 


The Society has in recent years received several large consign- - 
ments of old deeds and papers, no longer of legal value from g 
Solicitors who were clearing out the accumulations of years in- 
their offices. The Committee asks all Wiltshire Solicitors in ee a | 
circumstances to hand over all deeds no longer needed, to the 
Society, rather than to sell or destroy them.
