_Monuments of De la Beche Family._--Among the interesting communications
relating to monuments and trees, I see no mention made of some fine
effigies of the De la Beche family, in an old church near which are the
largest yew-trees I ever saw, on the edge of the Downs, about four
miles above the road which runs from Reading in Berkshire to
Wallingford, through Pangbourne and Streatley. I quite forget the name
of this remote village, but it is above Basildon Park and Streatley; and
a trip there would repay an archæologist for the time and outlay.
