But to procéed. After this confluence, it runneth to Draiton Hales,
Ternehill bridge: and yer long taking in a rill from Sandford by
Blechleie, it goeth to Stoke Allerton, Peplaw, and Eaton, where it
crosseth with a brooke that riseth about Brinton, and going by Higham,
Morton, the great Mere, Forton, Pilson, Pickstocke, Keinton,
Tibberton, and Bolas, it ioineth with the said Terne not farre from
Water Vpton. Thence passing to Crogenton, it méeteth with another
brooke that commeth from Chaltwen Aston, by Newport, Longford,
Aldneie, and so through the Wilde moore to Kinsleie & Sléepe, and
finallie into the Terne, which hasteth from thence to Eston bridge,
[Sidenote: Roden.]
and néere vnto Walcote taketh in the Roden. This water riseth at
Halton in Cumbermere lake: and comming to Ouenleie, crosseth a rill
from Cowlemere by Leniall. Thence it goeth to Horton, and (ioining
with another rill beneath Nonlaie that commeth from Midle) runneth on
to Wen, Aston, there crossing a rill beneath Lacon hall from Prées
ward, and so to Lée, Befford, Stanton, Morton, Shabrée, Painton,
Roden, Rodington, and then into Terne, that runneth from thence by
Charlton, Vpton, Norton, Barwijc, Acham, and so into the Sauerne two
miles beneath Shrewesburie (as I wéene.)
Thus haue I described the Terne in such wise as my simple skill is
able to performe. Now it resteth that I proceed on (as I maie) with
the Sauerne streame, with which, after this former confluence, it
goeth vnto Roxater or Roxcester, Brampton, Eaton vpon Sauerne,
[Sidenote: Euerne.]
Draiton, where it ioineth with the Euerne that runneth from
Frodesleieward by Withiall and Pitchford, Cresfedge, Garneston,
[Sidenote: Wenlocke or Rhe.]
Leighton, and betwéene the two Bildasses crosseth the Rhe or Wenlocke
water, and so goeth on to Browsleie and Hoord parke, where it vniteth
it selfe with another brooke to be described in this place, whilest
the Sauerne rests, and recreates it selfe here among the plesant
bottoms.
