Herthull has been corrupted into _Hartle_: and on the moor of this name a
chapel still remains, although of much later date than that mentioned in
the above-named document; traces of an earlier erection are however still
visible in a portion of the present foundations. It is now used as a barn.
Distant from this about two miles, at Meadow Place, near Yolgrave, is
another chapel, now used for a similar purpose as the foregoing. In this,
the jambs of all the windows still remain; the east window is a very large
one.
The above is not intended to answer W. H. K.'s Query, but rather as a note
in connexion with it.

Chester.
In the North Riding of Yorkshire, celebrated for its monasteries, &c., were
many chantry chapels, both in the hamlets, and in the rural situations
apart from them. Gill's _Vallis Eboracensis_ contains an account of
several; among the rest may be noticed one at Newton Grange. This chapel,
which is now used for agricultural purposes, is preserved, by request of
its noble owner Lord Feversham, in its primitive form. It stands in a
meadow field, at some distance from the ruins of the ancient seat of the
Cholmeleys, and was used as a burial chantry, but not exclusively so. In
1820 a vault was discovered beneath the floor; and five coffins were
removed to Oswald Kirk churchyard, and re-interred there. In order to
preserve the chapel from ruin, Lady Cholmeley bequeathed one pound per
annum to the Rector of Ampleforth for preaching a sermon annually therein;
but the ruinous state of the building at that time caused the removal of
the pulpit, and the sermon is preached in the church at Oswald Kirk.
The _Valor Ecclesiasticus_ contains the records of dissolved chantries.

PHOTOGRAPHIC NOTES AND QUERIES.
_The Collodion Process._--I have been much pleased with the directions
given by DR. DIAMOND in your columns for the production of collodion
positives; but they have been hitherto unaccompanied by any reference to
the causes of those numerous failures that occur in this delicate process,
and which are so disheartening to {186} beginners. I will just enumerate a
few of the appearances with which I have been troubled, and trust that they
may elicit from other operators an account of some of their instructive
failures. I will premise, as an answer to a former Query respecting the
cost and description of lenses, that I obtained mine of Mr. Goddard, now of
Jesse Cottage, Witton, Middlesex. They are combination-lenses, two inches
and a quarter in diameter (achromatic); the front lens can be used singly
for views, producing a picture nearly seven inches square, but when
combined covering four inches. For these, with brass mounting, I paid less
than 3l.: a single lens, the same diameter, would be about 1l. They work to
focus, cover flat, and define well, producing pictures equal to the most
expensive.
