S. A., F. R. I. B. A., was the lecturer at the two churches and Mr. Arthur Bonner, F. S. A., conducted the party over "Cæsar's Camp." At Merton Church the Rev. J. E. Jagger also addressed the members on the church and informed them that he hoped to have the old Gateway of the Priory, which had been bricked up for protection, as reported in Vol. XXVII of S. A.
