R. H. C. Davis Notebook 5
R. H. C. Davis's archaeological notebook dating from May 14 to September 7, 1935. The notebook opens with a handwritten title which reads "Archaeological Notebook II" and is followed by two photographs: the first of the inner gateway of Reading Annex and the second a group portrait of students. Handwriting on the back of the photograph indicates the date and the event. Following the photographs is a pamphlet titled "A Brief History of the Palace of the Bishops of Bath and Wells". The content describes the history of the site and palace of Jocelin, last Bishop of Bath. A summary on the first page of the notebook reads: "includes notes on two churches of rank, two churches of the second rank, four abbey ruins, and seventeen parish churches. Districts visited: Reading district, North Oxfordshire, Parts of Somersetshire and Geneva." The notebook ends with loose material inserted after the last page. Inserted material includes scrap paper with notes in various pen followed by drawings of Mason's marks on the West Tower of Wells of Saint Cuthbert’s. All entries are dated, and some have two separate dates. The first when Davis first visited the site and the second indicates re-visits in 1961 and 1973.
