. Vanishing England . l sum yearly totheir High Stewards, and these gentlemen—the Bowyersof Radley and the Earls of Abingdon—have been accus-tomed to restore their fees to the town in the shape ofa gift of plate. We might proceed to examine many other of theseinteresting buildings, but a volume would be needed forthe purpose of recording them all. Too many of theancient ones have disappeared and their places taken bymodern, unsightly, though more convenient buildings.We may mention the salvage of the old market-house atWinster, in Derbyshire, which has been rescued by thatadmirable National Trust for Places of Historic Interestor Natural Beauty, which descends like an angel of mercyon many a threatened and abandoned building and pre-serves it for future generations.

But as the markethas diminished in importance, the old market-house hasfallen out of repair, and its condition has caused anxietyto antiquaries for some time past.

It is part of the old residence of the Archbishopsof Canterbury, near the Perpendicular church of AllSaints, on the banks of the Medway, whose house atMaidstone added dignity to the town and helped to makeit the important place it was. The Palace was originallythe residence of the Rector of Maidstone, but was givenup in the thirteenth century to the Archbishop. Theoldest
