It is open for inspection by visitors for a very small fee. There are many picturesque old buildings on the streets of St. Albans which date back for many centuries. This area. is not as well known. to Canadians as it should be. Beaconsfield has a lovely old church and in its churchyard is the tomb of the 17th century noet Edmund Wall- er. There are old stocks, tombs and memorials and a half timbered Tudor house full of antique furniture which was the Rectory until 1868. It was a nunnery as early as 1270. G. K. Chesterton is a famous man who is buried at Bewonsfield, 9W1 another is Viscount Burnham who was the head of the London Daily Telegraph until his death in 1933. It was in this building: that I reâ€" ceived the only rebuke I had in Eng- ‘nnd for taking photographs. The curator considered that my camera was “no amateur one” and he was convinced I was taking- pictures fox commercial purposes. A few words of explanation, however, put every- thing right. About 1930 excavation was started and a wealth of relics were discover- ed including: some of the finest Ro- man mosaics ever found. Enclosed -in a building which preserves it just as it was originally built is the mosaic 'floor of \the warming room of a R0- man bath. There is also a lame museum in which are several Roman mosaics and masses of pottery, coins, building materials, lamps, personal ornaments, tools, and other articles recovered from the ruins. This like the Roman ruins at Bath prove that the Romans were master of the art of central heating, some- thing that the modern English people have not yet learned. Most Roman settlements were more or less obliterated by having later cities built over them, but in this case the city of St. Albans was built nearby instead of on the same site. After the Romans left about 410 AD. the city fell into decay and gradually was covered with earth. It is said that such ruins become cover- ed by about a foot of earth in each hundred years so that Verulamium is now under about 12 to 15 feet of myth. ' capture this British stronghold dur- ing his invasion in 54 BC. It was later raised to- the dignitv of a “mum- icipium” an honour that was not reached by any other city in Roman Britain. It stood on the famous Roman road known as Watling street upon which it _V\_IaS ong of the principal places. Less than ten miles away from Amel'sham is Berkhampstead where the ruins of an old castle can be visited. There are preserved among the Ancient Monuments and Historic Buildings, although little remains of the castle itself which dated from 1066, and was mostly built between then and 1186. It was surrounded by two distinct moats which though now dry, are still there. -At Bei‘khamstead is part of the When I visited St. Albans at the end of May, stands were being erect- ed for the celebration in June of the one thousandth anniversary of three other churches in the City. St. Mi- chael’s, St. Peter’s and St. Stephen’s, all of which were founded in 948 by Abbot Ulsinus. St. Michael’s retains much of the original work, but the other two have been largely rebuilt. Alongside the Cathedral is the Great Gate of the Monastery which was built in 1362. This was also used as a prison and the dungeons in which offenders were confined still exist below the building. The old market hall, dating fl‘ 1862, stands alm05t in the centre High street with an open piazza the street level, and there are almshouses dating from 1657. ’I of the old coaching inns “Ye 0 Grifl'in” and “The King’s Arms” well worth visiting. Less than ten miles away fr One of the most interesting spots in England within easy bus reach from Amersham is the city of St. Albans, where stands the ancient Ab- vbey and cathedral. For more than 1600 years a church has stood on the site of St. Albans Abbey now the Ca- thedral. The original shrine of St. Alhan was broken into some two thousand pieces at the Dissolution but has been very cleVeiily pieced together again. As in all the cathedrals, there is :1 wealth of ancient memorials of all kinds. 1 ‘ Other interesting: buildings in the city are the ancient clock tower dat- in};F from 1410 with its bell cast in 1335, and the inn, “Ye Old Fighting Cocks,” which was formerly the fish- ing lodge of the Monastery, and is reputed to be one of the oldest in- habited houses in the country. A Roman soldier named Alban, who had become a Christian, achiev- ed immmtal fame by sheltering Am- phibalus, a British priest, for which he was beheaded' on the hill where St. Albans Cathedral now stands, thereby becoming Britain's first mar- tvr. Ten vears later, ‘the Roman Emperor, Constantine, becoming a Christian. a small church was built on the site. This was succeeded by ail/Abbey built in the eighth century, and the present church was started in 1077. -At Berkhamstend is part of the canal system leading to the north and it was interesting to watch two of the long narrow canal boats being lifted through the locks there in the same manner as has been done for probably centuries. Its exterior architecture does not compare with most of the other ca- thedrals in England, but it is the second longest, being only exceeded by Winchester. Its great length. 550 feet, gives the interior a wonderffil sense of grandeur and many of the features such as the screen have some exquisite carving. This screen is considered one of the best in Eng- land.

Only three or four miles by a love~ 1y road from Amersham is Chesham. St. Mary’s Church there is an inter- fined the martyr Thomas Harding on the eve of his bemg burnt at the stake on May 30, 1532. There are small‘squal‘e wmdows in both the North and South walls with saddle- estin bars and stanchions which possibly were leper windows, where lepers could stand outside the church and follow the services. In all probability the original of the Mad Hatter of Alice in Wonder- land was Roger Crab of Chesham. He was a “haberdasher of hats” at Chesham and showed many signs of madness such as beCOming a Vege- tarian and drinking water, according to local legends. Marlowe is a very beautiful old town located on the Thames which there forms the bOUndal‘y between Buckinghamshire and Berkshire, and crosesd by a beautiful bridge. In the centre of the town is a Mem- orial to the memory of Charles Froliâ€" man the famous American theatrical producer who was drowned when the Lusitania was sunk_ in 1915. Ar Trinpr we were royally received hv Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Farquhar at their hame “Hawkwell.” They are former residents of Canada and al- htoug‘h they have been living in Eng- land for some thirty years are as re- freshinle Canadian as if they had only just arrived. During the war they entertained manv Canadians in- cluding some from Granby. Other delightful spots I visited in the neighborhood were Aldbury, Wen- dover, Chenies, Little Missenden. Great Missenden, Seer Green and many other places._ Sfiace preilents describing more of them in detail and I must move on to Oxfordshire and other places. At Trinq there~ is a fine large church dating from the 13th century although there was a former stone church on the same site as earlv as 1100. Many ancient churches have most peculiar carvings, and 14 in this church, one on each of the trusses, may be taken as typical examples. These are stone carvings of (1) a monster with a woman’s head and dragon’s wings, (2) a beast swallow- ing a man, (3) a wild boar, (4) a wild man, (5) an antelope with tusks, (6) a dog with a collar, (7) an angel with a shield’ (8) a fox carrying a goose on its back, (9) a monkey with a bottle and a book, (10) a griffin de- vouring- a man in armour; (11) a lion holding a shield, (12) a dragon or lizard, (13) a bear. chained and muz- zled, (14) a dog fighting a dragon. Such carvings really\ had no special meaning ‘but were included as orna- ments by workmen. Buckinghamshire has no very large nlaces. two of the-largest‘ones being High Wycombe and Aylesbury, both of which are well worth a visit. Both places have interésting markets on market days and I was fortunate in seeing these markets in operation. These open air markets under canvas have stalls selling clothes, ,ieWelry, used pestage stamps for collectors, fish. books, kitchenware. vegetables and a wide variety of other articles. Aylesbury has a very large cattle and sheep market also, At Ayleshury are some delightful ancient inns two of the best being the “King’s Head" and the “Bull’s Head". The King‘s Head stands at the top of the .market place almost hidden he- hincl other buildings and it is so un- usual that it is now the property of the National Trust although still vs- ed as a hotel. It is a remarkable Tudor building with medieval gate- way. rare twenty light wood mullion- ed windows set with heraldic glass and has wattle and daub walls. The next village to Aylesbury is Waddesdon where mv mother and father, the late Mr. and Mrs. George Legge were married. The church of St. Michael and all Angels dates from 1190 when the nave and south aisle were built until 1340 when the north aisle was completed. It is a splen- did eld buildng with a Norman tow- er which I climbed in order to enjoy the view of the surrounding country- Close by is a modern war memor- ial hearing this inscription; “Sons of this place Let this of you be said, That you who live Are worthy of your dead These gave their lives That you who live may reap, A riper harvest, The you fall asleep." side V estate Mary’s Church there is an in1 ng‘ link with the past and in st’s room overjhe porch was c Much includes the Rothschild 11‘ away is Burnham near famous Burnham Beeches You Can restore new-car pep in just one day by having us install a.
