R. H. C. Davis Notebook 9
R. H. C. Davis's notebook surveying the architectural elements of churches throughout parts of England. His title from the first page reads: "Volume IX including visits to parts of Kent, Somerset, Wilts, Oxon, Glos, Cornwall, and Berkshire". The descriptions were recorded from March 28 to December 12, 1938, though some entries have later dates when the writer revisited the sites. Entries are written on the front of the page with corrections or later additions added on the back. At the end of the General Bibliography is a list of Other Places Visited and is continued at the end of the Index. The Other Places Visited include: Reculver Church, Hinton Charterhouse (Somerset), Bath Abbey (Somerset), Bristol Cathedral (Glos), Eton College Chapel (Buckshire?), Barford Saint Michael (Oxford), Deddington Church (Oxford), Woolton? Church (Buckshire), King's College (Cambridge), Queen's College (Cambridge), and Saint John's College (Cambridge). A note with the title indicates that the visits were too brief to be of use, or accounts were appended to earlier accounts. About halfway through the notebook is a typed letter loosely inserted. The letter is addressed to Ralph Davis from John H. Harvey, and dated August 13 1961. John Harvey was a English architectural historian and wrote to Ralph about the puzzling elements of the Edington Church. He also asked Ralph a number of questions, first for suggestions about identifying a mason's marks, and second, for a second opinion on the dating of Albert Memorial Chapel for a St. George's Windsor Friends report. The letter is signed.
