On the bridge men had silently fallen in behind us, saying no word to anybody. Inside the gate one dropped out and stood motionless near the doos ‘of Marling’s house. The other five followed us. At the fork of the road two disappeared towards the cloisters. ‘The remaining three ac- companied us to the house. One cf these walked around to the back. One stayed in the shadow of the porch. The last of the six entered with us and stood aside in the hall. We made a single file procession Laxton pointed to a circle on the map—tomb of the Newplace treasures!

The part that interests us is.the'last page or two, written, so theéy tell me, at the beginning of 1538, when the Abbot got word that good 'King ‘Hal was going to send his famous visitor, Bishop Ingworth, to “sell ‘up the place. 'The bishop, ‘when' he ar- rived, found there wasn't much boodle in Newplace for his Majesty. “Yet Newplace 'had been a rich abbey There ‘were ‘legends of great'gifts made to it'and of much treasure stored.

It was a ground plan of the thurch.
