Trivitt Memorial Church on the Queen's
birthday, which spews that the public

h English architecture, solid in construe -
tion, chastic in design and perfect in
detail, The open timbered' hammer.
c' beam roof, of the style of Richard II
n with its clustered corbel supports, is an
it object of great attraction, ::whilst the
chancel window is one of the finest
d- specimens of modern stained :glass
of painting. The bells and ehi.ming ap-
paratus in the tower are also always
d subjects of great interests. From the
s- top of the tower, which is ascended; by
- easy flights of stairs, a charming. pan -
it oramic view of the town and surround -
o ing country is obtained, well worth the
ascent. The donations kindly placed
