hils somewhere about Sudleie, runneth two miles further to
Winchelcombe, and Gretton, and taking in a rill by the waie from
Hailes, procéedeth on (going within one quarter of a mile of Hailes
abbaie) to Tuddington, or Doddington, beneath which when it hath
crossed another rill that commeth from Stanwaie, it goeth to
Wannington, Sedgeborow, and receiuing there the last on the right hand
also (as all aboue rehearsed) it falleth into the Auon, when it is
come by Hinton, vnto a towne called Hampton, or (as some doo write it)
