and the three lancets at the end of the S. transept are also Butterfield's, replacing 18th century work which was there before.

A description of the bells, a poem on "Ambresberia," and an account of the Cornish boy saint, St. Melor, and the arrival of his relics at Amesbury, finish an excellent little guide book.

Mediæval Craftsmen. A Guide to the Architecture of Amesbury Church. By Llewellyn Williams,

A.R.I.BA [1920]

Pamphlet, 7 in. × 42in., pp. 15.

The writer of this little book, an architect himself, uses Amesbury Church as the peg on which to hang a short and well written essay on the development of architecture in England, and its connection with the history of the country as a whole and the local history of Amesbury in particular. Whilst he deals with the details of the building step by step, he dovetails in a series of pictures of contemporary events such as the extraordinary outburst of Church building in the 13th century and the Black Death in the middle of the 14th. "To English mediæval art this epidemic delivered a blow from which it never recovered. The London School of Masons, which until then had been the most progressive in the kingdom, ceased to exist . . . when the Black Death had passed it was the Gloucester masons who took up the torch." He seems to regard the "ball flower" ornament as especially a mark of West Country (Gloucester & Somerset) work. Of the Pre-Norman Church he says:-Of this early Church no part remains except a foundation of a wall at the west end found below the ground in 1920, close to the old gate pier, and the base of a column buried in the thickness of the nave wall beside the north-west pier of the tower. It will be noticed that the plinth of this column is out of alignment with the existing building, as the axial line of the older Church was slightly more towards the north." Throughout he assumes without question that the existing Church is the Church of the Abbey, an assumption, it will be remembered, most vigorously controverted by the late Mr. Talbot in Wilts Notes and Queries, vols. III. and IV., and Wilts Arch. Mag., xxxi., 8.

The roof of the nave, he says, as it stands, contains much poor carving mixed with good, and he suggests that possibly it was made up of old work after the Dissolution. This is a most readable little booklet and an excellent guide to the Church.

Cricklade. The Meeting Place of Augustine and the British Bishops. By J. Lee Osborn. New and enlarged edition. Cirencester, 1921.

Pamphlet, cr. 8vo, pp. 23. Illusts. of "St. Augustine's Oak formerly in the Garden of St. Sampson's Vicarage," "St. Mary's Church with Cross," and "Interior," "St, Sampson's Church with old Market Cross," and "Interior." As may be supposed from the title, some considerable space is devoted to the story of Augustine and the British

Bishops, and Gospel Oak as their meeting place, and though" absolute certainty" is not claimed for Bishop Browne's conjecture, "a high degree of probability" is. The arguments which to many seem conclusive against the claims made for "Gospel Oak" are not referred to, but whatever may be thought of those claims the author is at least to be thanked for reproducing a good photograph of the tree stump as it stood formerly in the garden of the Vicarage before the remains of it were removed to the Church. Saxon Cricklade and its mint, mediæval Cricklade, the charter, manor, and charities are touched on, and then the architecture of the two Churches is described, and it need not be said, quite fully and well described.
