Obituary. T. D. Atkinson, F.R.I.B.A. Thomas Dinham
PAPER'S AND PROCEEDINGS 173 OBITUARY. T. D. ATKINSON, F.R.I.B.A. HOMAS DINHAM. ATKINSON died on the 29th of December 1948, aged 84. Architect, antiquary and author, This greatness lay even more in the power of his personality than in the quiet competence of his work in many fields. Although widely learned in several departments of archaeology, he possessed true humility and a whimsical wit, often turned against his own foibles. His classical outlook belonged more to the 18th than the. 19th century, but he was inspired by deep feeling uncommon in the Age of Taste. Injustice moved him to fierce indignation and he could be stern with folly, but he met life with kindness, generosity and nobility of spirit. Aided by an exceptional memory, he methodically amassed architectural facts under subject headings during a period of well over' half-a-century ; these extensive- collections now belong to the Society of Antiquaries; Local Style in English Architecture, published' in the last year of his life, summarised part of this garnered treasure as an introduction to the more detailed treatment he had projected, and for which " The Sources of Hampshire Architecture in Past Times " {Proceedings, Hants Field Club, XV, pt. 2) and " Local Character in the Ancient Architecture' • of Cambridgeshire" {Proceedings, Cambridge Antiquarian Society, XL) were drafts. Among his many, other published works, the great Architectural History of the Benedictine Monastery, at Ely (1933) takes pride of place, but Hampshire should treasure his Survey of the Street Architecture of Winchester (1934), an outstanding record and work of catholic appreciation which ought perpetually to be had in remembrance—and in.print. -
The Distribution of the Romano-British Population in The
PAPERS AND PROCEEDINGS 119 THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE ROMANO - BRITISH POPULATION IN THE BASINGSTOKE AREA. By SHIMON APPLEBAUM, BXITT., D.PHIL. HE district round Basingstoke offers itself as the subject for a study of Romano-British . population development and. Tdistribution because Basingstoke Museum contains a singu larly complete collection of finds made in this area over a long period of years, and preserved by Mr. G. W. Willis. A number of the finds made are recorded by him and J. R. Ellaway in the Proceedings of the Hampshire Field Club (Vol. XV, 245 ff.). The known sites in the district were considerably multiplied by the field-work of S. E. Winbolt, who recorded them in the Proceedings of the same Society.1 I must express my indebtedness to Mr. G. W. Willis, F.S.A., Hon. Curator of Basingstoke Museum, for his courtesy and assist ance in affording access to the collection for the purposes of this study, which is part of a broader work on the Romano-British rural system.2 The area from which the bulk of the collection comes is limited on the north by the edge of the London Clay between Kingsclere and Odiham ; its east boundary is approximately that, of the east limit of the Eastern Hampshire High Chalk Region' southward to Alton. The south boundary crosses that region through Wilvelrod, Brown Candover and Micheldever, with outlying sites to the south at Micheldever Wood and Lanham Down (between Bighton and Wield). The western limit, equally arbitrary, falls along the line from Micheldever through Overton to Kingsclere. -

BASINGSTOKE DISTRICT 1922 and 1923. Flint Implements
3«5 FIELD NOTES.—BASINGSTOKE DISTRICT BY J. R. ELLAWAY, G. W. WILLIS AND H. RAINBOW. 1922 and 1923. Flint Implements.—Further occasional finds of flakes and implements of Palaeolithic type continue to be made. Odd flakes of distinctly gravelly patina have occurred at Steventon, White Hill, South Ham, Woodgarston, and Wootton. On the hill to the north of Bidden Water a small flat ovate implement of late Acheulean. type was found. This measures 3in. by 2£in. by fin., and is of a light brown colour, bleaching to light yellow. As usual, this specimen occurred at the edge of a patch of heavy clay, which, although not mapped as such, is undoubtedly, from its associated flints, a small area of the clay with flints formation. Part of an implement of Chellean type, much battered and weathered, and obliquely broken by frost, was found at Dummer. While at Ashe a small irregular pointed ovate of glossy white patination and of general Palaeolithic outline was picked up. An interesting item in last year's work has been the discovery for this area of Pigmy flints. Some 40 or 50 specimens, whole or fragmentary, have been secured, for the most part from Popham and Welldcks Hill, but including some from Dummer and Bradley. They comprise several well known varieties of pattern, triangular, crescent, rectangular, etc., and are often of very careful and effective workmanship. Their varying sources of origin tend to leave the question of their uses still problematical. During the year another " foreign " implement has occurred in the neighbourhood, viz., a ground celt of igneous rock—" a moderately coarse ophitic dolerite" (Geol. -
