The Secretary read the fol lowing repor tThe Counci l of the Shropsh ire Archae ological and Natural H istory Soc iety

present their report and statement o f“accounts to the m embers at the ir

annual m eeting . In do ing th is they regret that there has been somed im inu tion in the l ist of m embe rs , a nd they woul d urge upon al l interestedin archaeo logy the des irab leness of obta ini ng add it iona l subscribers . TheCounci l have much pleasure in s tat ing that the o l d bu i ld ings of ShrewsburySchoo l have been purchased by the Jo int Comm ittee appo inted by th isSociety and the Corporat ion of and have been t ransferred to the TownCounc i l , and that near ly th e who le amount re q u i red has been subscr ibed ;bu t t hey wou ld venture to hOpe that the smal l balance due may soon bereceived . The term s proposed at the las t annual Mee t ing as those on wh ichthe Museum of the Soc ie ty shou ld be transferre d to the town and p laced inthe S chool bu i ld ings havebeen been agreed to by the Town Counc i l , and theCounc i l of th is Soc iety look forward w i th much intere st t o the fact thatbefore the nex t annua l meeting the many valuab le art ic les of interestin the Museum , col lected dur ing 50 years of con t inuous labour

,wi ll fiud a

permanent home in the t ime-honoured bu i ldin rvs of Shrewsbury School , andform the nuc leus of one of the most valua lil c county museums in theK ingdom . The C ounc i l re fer w ith pleasure t o the s ix vo lumes of Tr ans -

t

lly the honorary ed itor,

the Rev.W. A. Le ighton , for his invaluable and unwearied serv ices , entai l-ing in som e cases very many hours of con tinuous labou r . The Counci l alsodesire to thank the donors of artic les of va lue to the Museum during th e

y ea1 , a l ist of wh ich w i l l be issued 1n the T1 ansa ctions of the Soc iety .

'

l he Chairman ,in m oving the adopt ion of the report and statemen t

of accoun ts , said annual Meet ing of our Soc iety affords an

opportunity of reviewing our posi tion . The subj ec t of m ost d irectinteres t to us is the probable change of our local habitation . The

l iberal i ty wi th wh ich som e of our m embers have subscr ibed ‘

towards thepurchase of the o l d Schoo l Bu ild ings is worthy ofrecord . As an anony-mous subscriber of on ly a very smal l sum

,I th ink I m ay public ly

acknow ledge the l iberali ty of o thers w ithout appearing to praisemyself. When we ar e establ ished in the foundat ion of King EdwardVI . , we shal l certainly have m ore conven ien t prem ises , bu t we mu stno t forget that the interior of our presen t hou se and i t s fine openroof is a remarkable spec imen of domest ic arch itecture ; and everylover of antiqu ity will , I am sure , j o in in the hope that it may bepreserved in a manner worthy of i t s character . I th ink we shal l beable to make our ne w home pleasant , no t on ly to the

-

archaeologist ,

but also to the casual visitor . We shal l be able , I hope , t o separatethe co l lection of birds and beasts from the antiqu ities .

‘ We have anumber of drawings, fram ed and unframed ; we have a number ofi l lustrated b ooks we have t ransported everyth ing most deserving ofnotice from U r iconium to our

,

Museum we have many re l ics inparchmen t , wood , and m etal . These can be so arranged and classifiedto please the eye of the casual ” as wel l as of the conno isseur . Wemust never forget that part of our duty is to make the h isto ry of thepast an agreeable study . Anoth er of our dut ies is t o acqu ire

— to

accumu lat e . I hope in the cou rse of t ime we shal l be a local B ritishMuseum , and every prin t , every.

"

map , every book , every re lic connectedw ith Shropsh ire , wi l l find here i ts u ltimate and appropriate hom e .I wou ld ven ture to make a suggestion w ith regard to photograph s .

We have some pho tographs, I know , bu t why should we not invite al lthe photographers in Shropsh ire t o send us a copy of any pho tographof

‘

a p lace wh ich they may take ‘2 We shou ld thus give to the ir works

an advertisem ent wh ich m igh t be usefu l in a way of business to them ,

and w e m ight thus acq uire a photograph ic representation of Shropshireas it is , t o hand down t o our successors , of its churches , i ts chape ls , i tsschoo ls , i ts towns, i ts bu i ldings , ancien t and modern , and i t s m ansions .

The Comm ission fo r the co l lation of Nat ional H istor ical Manuscriptslas t year depu ted one of i ts ofiice r s to pu t h im se lf a t the service ofthose in th is county who ar e in possession of h istorical manuscripts .

Mr . Maxwe l l Ly te was here for some t im e last year , and wi l l be hereagain for a longer period th is year . It should be known as w idely as

po ssible that he is ready, withou t any fe e , t o exam ine and cata loguethe munimen ts— publ ic and pr ivat e

- m o t"

al l who des ire i t , so far as theyhave in their possession manuscripts o f a national , h istorical charac ter.There are very few peop l e who real ly know what they possess in t h issort of way . Some have exaggexatod no t ions of the age and value of

their papers , but most have no not ions at al l about them , and wonde r-ful w indfalls often come to those who have the ir treasures sorted by an

expert . I know an instance o f the famous“ Boke of St . Albans ,

the market value of wh ich is more than £500, being catalogu ed as aschoo l book for a number of years in a country house , wh ich was le t .There are scores of instances of corporations and ind ividuals destroyingthe ir muniments because they cou ld not read the anc ient l etters orunderstand the Latin . The visit of an expert to th is county is anoppor tunity wh ich perhaps may be we lcome t o many but I w ish *

we

cou ld attach an expe rt to our own local soc iety. If we could not afiord

t o keep such a one always in our pay, we m ight at least be abl ewi th confidence t o introduce h im to those who wanted assistance incataloguing o ld papers . The qual ificat ions I know are not verycommon a knowledge of Latin , a knowledge of the in tricacies of theo ld tenu res of land , of the med iaeval language , which was a m ixtureof many tongues , and ful l of techn ical and often qu ite local expressions ,some knowledge of the l aw , the rare ar t ofwriting a clear hand , togetherw ith abso lu te trus tworthin ess. In the late Mr . Joseph Morris we hadone , who I believe t o a great exten t had th is know ledge

, amongst u s ,

bu t our society d id not exist on it s presen t footing in his t im e . Ith ink th is i s a subj ect w e m ight keep in view . The Soci ety ofAntiquaries have th is year expressed a desire for an interchange ofour vo lumes. I hope we shal l be abl e to cul tivate an entente ccrdial ew ith the paren t soc iety . I am g lad the proposal has been accepted .

As a member of the Soc iety of Antiquaries I am strongly in favou r ofthe idea that al l the local societies shou ld be affiliated to the parentsociety , not on ly by an interchange of publications but by an actualincorporat ion . The provinc ial work of the London Soc iety is now

done through its new honorary secretaries ; I have t he honour to bethe honorary secretary for Shropsh ire, but I think the connec tion w ithprovinces wou ld best be maintained through the local societies ratherthan through ind ividuals. There is an immense vis ta of work beforeus Open ing w ide in many d irec t ions. Shrewsbury alone would affordm aterials for many years to come . The Blakeway Manuscripts inthe Bodleian , of wh ich there are many vo lumes comp i led for a

parochial hi story of the county , are waiting the hand of an ed itor .

I have on other occasions al luded to “ the importance of preserving,by

printing,our decay ing parochial registers . I wish to cal l attent ion

to Church p late . Speaking general ly the o ldes t p late in the parishbe longs to the Church . From t ime to time peop le get tired of thesimpl ici ty of o l d s ilver , or not understand ing i ts value they converti t in to new p late . In several d ioceses a comp lete catalogue , i l lustratedto scale , of al l the church p late , has been published , usual ly throughthe co-operation of the local antiquarian soc iet ies . I have by m e thei llustrated catalogue of the d iocese of Carl isle. It would be wel lworth the trouble t o do the same service for Shropsh ire . I hopea succession of sk i l led and effic ient labou rers wil l be forthcomingamongst us . Al l things are working in our favou r— a greater interestis shown in our work by the publ ic

—most of the local papers now

have a column for bye-genes, and the ease with w h ich notes andque ries on archaeology are publ ished help s to keep up a freemasonryof communication between antiquaries . If I may be all owed a

paradox I would ven ture to say that a rich future is in store for thein tell igent d iggers in the deposits of the past .— Mr . Stanley Leightonconcluded by moving the adopt ion of the r eport and statem ent ofaccounts.

Rev. A. T . Pelham seconded the mot ion and t he report was adopted .

Mr . Millard Hard ing proposed the re -e lect ion of the members of

the Counc il . As gent lem en of experience they had proved thei rcapac ity

,and the m eeting cou ld no t do better than re -e lect them .

Mr . C lement Southam seconded the motion , which was adopted .

Alderman Sou tham said he had very great p leasure indeed inpreposing that the best thanks of the meeting shou ld be g iven t o theRev. W. A. Leighton for his services as honorary editor dur ing the pastyear . He knew no one in that county who had so de served ly earnedthe thanks of that m eeting, of the county general ly , and of every one

connected w ith archae ological work , as Mr . Le ighton .

-

H e hoped ,in the ir new rooms, Mr . Leighton wou ld find some congenial p laceto work in , and that h is services wou ld be spared to the Society formany years as ed i tor of the ir Tr ansacti ons.Mr . W . Ph il l ips seconded the motion . The posit ion of exper t to

which the President had referred had to a great exten t been fil led byMr . Leighton . Mr . Le ighton had spent fifty years in the int erpr etat ionof such manuscripts, and he had devoted a very large amount ofl abour to the business of the SocietyThe resolution was adopted w ith appl ause .

The Rev. W. A. Leighton , who was rece ived w ith applause , said heaccepted grateful ly their vote of thanks as an expre ssion of theirappreciation of h is services as honorary e d i tor of the ir Tr ansacti ons .

The office was no sinecure i t requ ired a great deal of time , atten tion ,

and mental exertion , besides a very considerable amount of continuedcorr e Spondencc . He was qu ite wi lling to undertake it , and he wasalso qu ite w i ll ing to labour in it so long as mental activity m ightlast . In the number of the Tr ansactrons now go ing through the Press ,they were bringing to the comp le t ion an impo1 tent paper on

otheArmorial

B earings of Shropsh ire Fami l ies— perhaps one of the mos t valuablepapers wh ich had appeared in the Tr ansactions. The paper wasfrom a MS. by the late Mr . George Morr is , we l l known as an accu rategenealogist . Mr . Morris compi led the pape r for h is pr ivate use , butno doubt had he con temp lated i ts publicat ion he wou ld have mademany add it ions . They had thought i t the ir du ty to print the paperas it was , leaving the emendations , wh ich would be very haza1 dous ,t o some future time . The ir pr inters told him it was the most d ifficultand comp licated manuscript wh ich had ever passed through theirhands . That he cou ld wel l understand , for w ithou t exagge ration hem ight say that many of the sheets had occup ied him in proof and inrevise for six or eigh t hours in correction . The proofs cou ld not be readin the ord inary way , but eve ry l ine , he might almost say eve ry word , had

The Rev. T . Auden ,in moving a vote of thanks to the Chairman ,

approved ofhis adm irable suggest ion as t o the col lect ion of photographs,bu t thought i t wou ld be necessary to have an Index Expurgatorius.Mr . J . R . Humphr eys seconded the vote of thanks , wh ich was

unan im ously agreed to .

The Chairman briefly acknowledged the vote , and the mee t ing dis-pe rsed .

R.H

. Newell , the son of th e agen t of Walco t estate,drove through

Aston-on—Clun , and Litt le Brompton , and spen t a short time in C lun-

bury Church ; of wh ich a l ittle that is Norman , and much that isChurchwardenish,

”is to be seen . Those who went by tra in walked

from Plowden to Walcot , where they jo ined the ir comrades .

Walcot Hall i s so we l l known that we need say but l ittle here abouti t

. The fam ily portraits and Ind ian troph ies came in for the ir dueshare of attention ; and al l fe lt the time was too short to enjoy to theful l the feast provided for their cultivated tastes by Lord Pow is , in th erar e p ictures and o ther attractions gathered together in th is famoushouse but there was ano ther Feast (also provided by his lordsh ip)looming in the imm ed iate future , wh ich made each m inute hereprecious , if i t was t o be enjoyed to the full so haste was made

,and

after Bury Ditches had been visi ted , the entire party assembled at theNew Inn , where l unch , by the orders of the Ear l of Pow is , had beenprepared , wh ich on ly wanted his lordsh ip ’s genial presence t o stamp

the excursion as the mos t succe ssful one so far accompl ished by theShropshire Society . After d inner comp l iments we re passed . CanonLl oyd , for the Society , thanked his lordship and Mr . Now e l l , for h i s

Lordship,thanked the Soc ie ty . Am ove was then made t o the Church

at Lydbury North , and from there to Plowden Hal l, where the partywere r ece ived by Mr . Plowden , who courteously took h is guests overthe house , after which Lady Mary Plowden d id the honours of the tea.table in the hal l .The party left Plowden a l itt le before six , and soon reached Craven

Arms , en route for home . Mr . W. Ph i ll ips had prepared a paper on

The Recent Discovery of Roman Pottery a nd a Quern in Shrop-

The Ga te P i l lar in Chur ch S tr eet .

It wi l l be Observed that in the engraving of the Gate Pil lar in Church

Stree t , the Pembroke (Herber t) Arms ar e reve rsed . This is so on the

stone , and can only be explained by the p robab il ity that the scu lptorwas unacquainted w i th he raldry , and had a tracing of the arms t o work

from ,and reve rsed it in execut ing the work . By looking thr ough the

picture , wi th i t s face t o the l ight , the arms w i ll be seen correctly .

The artist was Mr . John Ne l son of Shrewsbury , who scu lptur ed the
