running all in one chanell vnto Mona, that riuer goeth on to Kinech
church, Grismond, Cardwaie, Skenfrith, Warnethall, Perthire, and so to
Monemouth, where it meeteth with the Wie, ouer each of which riuers
Monemuth towne hath his particular bridge.
The Guie or Wie therefore being increased with thus manie brookes and
waters, passeth on from hence, and going toward Landogo, it méeteth
[Sidenote: Trollie.]
with the Trollie becke, whose head is aboue Lannam ferrie in the north
part of Monemouth shire, and goeth from thence by Lhantellio,
Lanihangle, Gracedieu, Diggestow, Wonastow, Troie, and so into Wie,
[Sidenote: Elwie.]
that runneth also by Wies wood chase, taking in there the Elwie that
commeth from aboue Landelwie by Langowen, Lannissen, Penclase,
Trilegh, and Langogo, where méeting with the aforesaid streame, the
Wie directeth his course from thence by Tinterne abbeie (where it
crosseth a rill from Trile grange) Chapell hill, Parcasicke, Penterie
chapell, Lancante, Chepstowe, and so into the sea, leauing the Treacle
(a chappell standing on a rocke) on the hand betweene it & Sauerne,
ouer against the point that lieth south of Betteslie. Next vnto the
Wie, I find a rill of no great course, comming downe from Mounton
chappell, by a place of the bishops of Landaffe. Thence passing by
Charston rocke, and the point whereon Trinitie chappell standeth, I
[Sidenote: Trogie.]
come vnto the fall of Trogie, which riseth short of Trogie castell,
and runneth toward the sea, by Landuair, Dewston, Calicot, and so into
the Ocean, ouer against the Charston rocke. The next fall is of a
water that commeth from aboue Penho by saint Brides, north and by west
[Sidenote: Dennie Iland in the middest of the Sauerne,
and likewise another litle one called Beuerage.]
of Dennie Iland, which lieth midwaie betweene that fall & Porshot
point, and before I touch at Goldcliffe point, I crosse another fall
of a fresh brooke, whose head is aboue Landueigo in Wencewood, and
course by Lhanbed, Langston, Lhanwarme, and through the More to
Witston.
