To celebrate the centennial of this publication, the Pictoumasons website presents a complete set of indexed issues of the magazine. As far as the editor was able to, books which were suggested to the reader have been searched for on the internet and included in 'The Builder' library.'

PEW words are necessary to explain the arrangement of the Correspondence and Extracts from the Diaries which are contained in the present volume. Among the large number of documents placed in my hands, I found that many letters related to archreological discoveries made in the various counties of England, as well as in Scotland and Wales ; and 'that there were fre• quent brief allusions to matters of antiquarian interest in those counties; some of which came under Dr. Stukeley's personal observation, and also to matters of scientificand general interest that were laid before the Royal and Antiquarian Societies of London, during the time when he acted as Secretary, and when he subsequently resided in town as Rector of St. George the Martyr, Queen Square, Bloomsbury, and regularly attended the meet• ings. These he was in the habit of jotting down in his diaries. I have sorted the entire mass, and placed the infor• mation under the heads of the counties to which it relates, by which arrangement anyone who is interested in a par• ticular county will at once gather whatever the Doctor thought worthy of being recorded. Sometimes the con• tents of a Letter related to researches and discoveries in ii. PRD'ACE. more than one county, in which cases I have found it desirable to separate the subject-matters, and put each part in its proper place. The counties are arranged alphabetically, and are brought down to Lincolnshire in the present volume. When volume I. 'was printed, it was supposed that a second volume would suffice to contain all the docu• ments then in hand, or that were likely to be collected. The materials have, however, multiplied to such an extent that a third volume will be necessary to include what is left, and it will contain most interesting corres• pondencerelating to Middlesex, Monmouthshire, Norfolk, Northamptonshire, Northum berland, Nottinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Rutlandshire, Shropshire, Somersetshire, Suffolk, Surrey, Sussex, Warwickshire, Westmoreland, Wiltshire, and Yorkshire; besides much valuable infor• mation relat.ing to south Scotland. Stukeley travelled through many of the counties on horseback, and in one of his letters describes the true pleasure this mode of travelling afforded, and the facili• ties it gave for becoming acquainted with the antiquities of 1he country. In many respects he may be compared to Leland, for, like his observant predecessor in his '~laboriouse journeys and serches for Englande's anti• quitees," he very carefully "notid a hole worlde of thinges very memorable." Allowances must be made for some of hie mistakes and guesses, arising partly from the measure of the scientific knowledge of his day, and partly from self• confidencebordering upon conceit, and the tenacity with Digitized by Coogle PREPACK. iii. which he held to his own opinions; in confirmation of which the reader is referred to the discussions at the Royal Society, in which he took part, upon the growth of corals, and the causes of earthquakes, recorded in pp. 376, 379, 382 of this volume. What Doctor J. Wood• ward wrote to Sir Christopher Wren, in 1707, of Mr. William Somner, author of the "A ntiquities of Canter• bury," is applicable to Stukeley : "'tis 110teasy, when once a man suffers himself to grow fond of a subject, not to be over far transported, and screw things to a pitch too high for those who are only indifferent lookers on, and not much in the passion that such a writer may himself feel." In the Appendix, the reader will find accounts of certain inventions, viz, that of the velocipede, which may be regarded as the origin of t he bicycle, and the numerous modificationsof this now popular vehicle; and of a revolving breech-loader cannon; alsocurious experi• ments upon the strength of several sorts of gunpowder, and the advisability of reducing within certain limits gun-charges whereby the velocity and range of the pro• jectile is increased; the ascent of rockets for signal purposes; the utilization of fire-damp in coal pits; hatching of eggs artificially; and the improvement of the ship's log by an application of clock-work. In the Preface to volume 1. there is mention of a fine brass effigy of Sir Nicholas de Stukeley, formerly on the floor of the church of Great Stukeley, Hunts. An auto• type print of it is now given at page 222. Upon sub• mitting it to A. W. Franks, Esq., F.R.S., he considered Digitized by Coogle iv. PREFACE. it deserving of being inserted; and further expressed his opinion that it was probably a palimpsest brass, the original having been a fioriated cross, upon which the image of Sir Nicholas was engraved. He also confirmed my opinion that the date of the figure was not earlier than A.D. 1460. Under Lancashire there are four Letters from Samuel Peele to Stukeley concerning a grave constructed with Roman. tiles, one of them being inscribed. After the sheet was printed, Mr. Thompson Watkin, to whom I am greatly indebted for other communications, kindly furnished me with the following information relating to Samuel Peele. "From the register of freemen of the borough of Lancaster, this gentleman appears to have taken up his freedom in 1752. He was at that time an officerof excise at Lancaster. Before 1768 (probably about 1766), he was removed to Durham, and he died before 1784, as his name disappears from the list of free• men before that date." I have not attempted to write even short biographies of Stukeley, the Gales, and several others whose names appeSlrin these volumes, because "theirlives are already well known, but as mention is made of one member of the Stukeley family, viz., Adlard Squier Stukeley, whom the Doctor speaks of, vol. i., P: 209, as his cousin, it is well to state here who he was, and who are the present representatives of this the elder branch of the family.

    Geophysics in the Minster Environs, Warminster, Wiltshire, 2014. Mat Charlton and John Oswin with contributions from Mark Corney Bath and Camerton Archaeological Society & Artefact it Ltd i Abstract As part of the Warminster Heritage Lottery project, a number of geophysical surveys using resistance and magnetometry techniques were conducted on various sites in the northern portion of Warminster town in Wiltshire, the research aim being to search for signs of occupation pre-dating the development of the mediaeval market town. The survey would also look for any possible church buildings away from the present minster church, which is predominantly a Victorian rebuild? The sites were the only open spaces available, but those of any size were in use as school playing fields, which had undergone grading and so rearranged the topsoil. Nonetheless, there were a number of indications of possible earlier settlement, although these appeared to be prehistoric rather than pre-Norman. These could be on dry terrace or right down on the flood plain of the Were Stream. Limited surveying close to the church and observation of architectural features, suggested that any previous Minster church was most likely to be under or very close to the present church.

There have, not unexpectedly, been considerable archival losses too, as some later vacancy inventories at York make clear: the Durham sede vacante register of Alexander Neville (1381) and accompanying visitation records; the York sede vacante register after Neville’s own translation in 1388; the register of Thomas Arundel (only the register of his vicars-general survives today), and the register of Robert Waldby (likewise only his vicar-general’s register is now extant) have all long disappeared.1 Some of these would also have included records of ordinations, now missing from the chronological sequence.

    07 Cunliffe 1686 13/11/09 13:48 Page 161 ALBERT RECKITT ARCHAEOLOGICAL LECTURE Continuity and Change in a Wessex Landscape BARRY CUNLIFFE Fellow of the Academy THE WESSEX LANDSCAPE with which we are concerned is an area of some 450 sq km of chalkland situated in the centre of the chalk uplands of southern Britain (Fig. 1). Its central position gives it a special character. It is, above all, a route node where the east–west ridgeways from the North Downs, the South Downs, Cranborne Chase and the Marlborough Downs converge with the north–south river routes, the Avon and the Test, which provide access, through the forests and heathlands of the Hampshire Basin, to the waters of the Solent beyond. But there is an ambivalence about the region. While open to influences from all direc- tions, this very openness endowed it with a strategic significance well understood by those who, in the past, wished to control the movements of peoples and commodities. As we will argue below, the region became a frontier zone for much of the latter part of the first millennium BC, dividing east from west. This block of downland was chosen for detailed study partly because of its commanding position in the landscape of central southern Britain but also because previous archaeological activity has provided an exten- sive database invaluable in developing a detailed research strategy. Most notable among the earlier work were the pre-war excavations of the Cunningtons and J. F. S. Stone focusing on Bronze Age and Iron Age settlements in eastern Wiltshire and the campaign of hillfort excavations Read at the Academy 23 October 2008.
