STONE ALTARS.
I should be much interested to know whether any of your correspondents can mention instances of Anglican churches in which the Holy Table or Altar is of stone. There is or was an altar of this kind in the parish church of Llangorwen, Cardiganshire, the incumbency of this parish having been held at one time, I believe, by one of the early leaders of the Oxford Movement. I am doubtful whether the actual legality of stone altars in the English Church has been definitely decided, but they have almost completely disappeared since the Reformation.—G. S.
