London: LONGMANS, GREEN, READER, AND DYER. MDCCCXCII. The Council of the Somersetshire Archæological and Natural History Society desire that it should be distinctly understood that although the volume of PROCEEDINGS is published under their direction, they do not hold themselves in any way responsible for any statements or opinions expressed therein; the authors of the several papers and communications being alone responsible. AP $695 P 893531 DEC 1 3 1954 37-38 Preface. It was hoped and intended that this volume should have been in the hands of Members before the end of the year to which it relates, but circumstances beyond the control of the Editor have caused the usual delay. Whether or not it is possible to realise the good intentions for the future, which are ever present in his mind, remains to be seen. The thanks of the Society are due to Mr. E. Buckle for his drawings and plans of the Archdeaconry at Wells; to Mr. R. W. Paul for the plates from his own drawings of the Entrance to, and Panels from the Cloisters of Ford Abbey; also to Mr. R. W. Paul for those of Wayford Manor House, and the "Priory," Hinton St. George; to the Rev. E. L. Penny, D.D., R.N., for the engravings after his own drawings of the "Old Grammar School" and the "Old Parsonage at Crewkerne; also for that of the Three Chapelries of Crewkerne. Dr. Penny being himself an old Crewkerne boy,' these valuable contributions are a special labour of love. F.T.E. |
