Bess at Home The Pilgrims, after a glorious tramp down the dale of Beechcombe, reached Pursborough without further adventure, and spent the night there.

They gave an hour next morning to inspecting the glorious old church and the ruins of the castle, then once more resumed the Roman road.

It was the last day of their tour, so they made the best of it.
They explored some delightful woods, followed the course of a fascinating stream, ate their lunch in a picturesque quarry, had an early tea at a wayside inn which rivalled "The Pelican" in quaintness, and finally reached Ribstang in time to catch the 5:20 train to Grovebury.

The conclusion of the excursion meant the close of the holiday, for school would begin again on the following Monday.

Everybody had enjoyed it immensely, and everybody was only too sorry it was over.
To Ingred it marked an epoch.
