Describes the visit of the 'odd fellows' of the 'British Archaeological Society' (a reference to the British Archaeological Association) to Chepstow, where they visited a wine merchant's premises believed to rest on the remains of an ancient priory. Notes that the archaeologists subsequently denied this claim. Describes a poorly attended and soporific meeting of the society in which Thomas Wakeman spoke on the Roman walls of Chepstow (possibly an allusion to Wakeman 1854). |
