Excerpt from Sussex Archaeological Collections Relating to the History and Antiquities of the County, Vol. 40 In presenting their Annual Report of the proceedings of the Sussex Archælogical Society in 1858, and in publishing their Annual Account of its present condition and future prospects, the Committee have the satisfaction of stating that the Society is in every way prosperous and flourishing. The number of the Members of the Society has exhibited a steady increase, and on January 1, 1858, it amounted to seven hundred and twenty-six. The Annual Meeting, which took place at Bayham Abbey on August 5th, was more fully attended than on any previous occasion. The weather was delightful, and the beautiful ruins of the Abbey were seen to the greatest advantage. An able and interesting lecture was delivered on the spot, by Mr. Beresford Hope, upon the character and peculiarities of the building, which was followed by another valuable paper, by the Rev. G. M. Cooper, referring to the habits and history of the Monks who dwelt there in olden time, and, to complete the enjoyment of the day, the large party collected were greeted with the most liberal and courteous hospitality by the noble owner of the place, the Marquis Camden, who kindly and ably presided over the Meeting, which was afterwards transferred to Tunbridge Wells.
