. Nei vecchi sentieri: Memorie di pellegrinaggi letterari. Tentato di identificare in un'unica visita da una visita casa-a-casa la particolare locanda a cui Shenstonerefers. Più di uno mi è stato segnalato. La PRU-Dence suggerirebbe certamente che l'inchiesta, per cui è stata convocata, dovrebbe essere diffusa in un periodo considerevole; e così ho rinunciato a questo interessante pezzo di antiquarianresearch, per visitare la chiesa normanna di Beau-Desert. Il pellegrino potrebbe facilmente perdere questa chiesa, per la caratteristica della strada principale di Henley-in-Arden isola torre merlata e pinnacoli a coccio di San Giovanni

. In the old paths: memories of literary pilgrimages . oattempted to identify at a single visit by a house-to-house visitation the particular inn to which Shenstonerefers. More than one was pointed out to me. Pru-dence would certainly suggest that the inquiry, ifcalled for, should be spread over a considerable period ;and so I gave up this interesting bit of antiquarianresearch, in order to visit the Norman church of Beau-desert. The pilgrim might easily miss this church, forthe feature of the main street of Henley-in-Arden isthe embattled tower and crocketed pinnacles of thechurch of St. John the Baptist. Close to the latter across-street, or lane rather, leads eastwards to the Alne, now a tiny stream, and across the bridge is this parishchurch of Beaudesert, the stream being the boundarybetween the two parishes. The church at once re-called our own grey Dalmeny, both in size and treat-ment, save that the former has a western tower, but, ah, the difference ! The English church has beenjudiciously restored, where necessary ; the chancel and. BEAUDESERT CHURCH, WARWICKSHIRE!A litany in stone. 134 FROM ARDEN TO ARCADY apse are furnished in keeping with its architecture in aspirit in which reverence and art combine to make itwhat it is, a litany in stone. You have only to visitDalmeny Church, one of the most interesting speci-mens of Norman architecture in Scotland, and grindyour teeth as you look into the little parlour, cut intothe north wall, with its commonplace chairs, sofa, andlooking-glass. When I remember Dalmeny, I can evenforgive Stoke Pogis for its harmless, if ostentatious, display of the Penn chairs. At Dalmeny there are stillto be seen the two steps leading to the apse, now, alas!furnished with pews, some of them necessarily semi-circular in shape to fit in with the apsidal configura-tion. The magnificent vaulting, with its zigzag orchevron mouldings, remains, but stone shafts have beencut away wherever they interfered with the pews, andas you look eastwards
