But 8t. Cross is unique with its gateway tower and porters hutch, where the wayfarer ma^ even now make thi; vagrants claim for dole of beer and ^-^ bread, the former no longer brewed on the spot, and for its o^A^^ sake not wortli the troul)le often taken l)y sentimental visitois to obtain it. Fine old elms suri-ound the veneral)le home of the bivthren of this cloistered retreat; the river flows close to its foundations; and, facing you across the stream, rises the bold rounded steep surmounted ))}- the clump of beech-trees on St. 18 BIVERS OF GREAT BEITATX.
