of London, for the purpose of affording more space for the
Museum of the Essex Field Club. During this work the whole
of the original timbers, which were covered up on the outside
with plastering and sham timbers, have been exposed to view.

old timbers have been quite exceptional it may be interesting to
relate the observations made and the conclusions drawn there-
from as to the original construction of the building.
