But to procéed. From Bewdleie our Sauerne hasteth directlie to
[Sidenote: Stoure.]
Ribford, Areleie and Redston, and here it méeteth with a water called
Stoure, descending from Elie, or out of the ponds of Hales Owen in
Worcestershire, where it receiueth a rill from the left hand, and
another from the right, and then goeth on to Sturbridge (taking in
there the third water yer long running from Sturton castell) then to
Kniuer Whittenton, Ouerleie and Kidormister, aboue which it crosseth
one brookelet that commeth thither by Church hill, and another beneath
it that runneth by Belborow, betwixt which two waters lieth an od
peece of Staffordshire included, and also the Cle hill. From hence the
aforesaid Sauerne hasteth by Redston to Shrawleie; and aboue this
[Sidenote: Astleie.]
towne receiueth the Astleie water, as beneath the same it dooth
another. From Witleie then it goeth on to Holt castell, and so to
[Sidenote: Doure.]
[Sidenote: Sulwaie.]
Grimleie, taking in thereabout with the Doure, and Sulwaie waters,
whereof this riseth at Chadswijc, and runneth by Stoke priorie, &
Droitwich, the other aboue Chaddesleie, and commeth by Dourdale. After
this it goeth foorth vnto Worcester, in old time called Cair Brangon,
[Sidenote: Tiber.]
or Cair Frangon, where it méeteth with the Tiber, or Tiberton water,
on the right hand aboue that citie, and beneth it neere vnto Powijc
with the Temde, whose description shall be set downe before I procéed
or go anie further with the Sauerne.
