The one of these swords is called Clotheie or Clothie, of which I find
[Sidenote: Clotheie.]
this short and breefe description. The Clothie riseth at the foot of
Wrennie vaure hill and comming downe to Monachlodge, Langelman,
Lannakeuen, and Egremond, it receiueth a rill from by northwest before
it come at Lanhaddon castell, which commeth from aboue the moore by
Clarbaston and Bletherston, his head arising in the hill west of
Mancloghaie, as Leland dooth informe me. Yer long also and beneath
Lanhaddon it taketh in another on the east side from Narbarth castell,
comming by Robeston, then going by Cunaston, Slebach, Picton castell,
Sister houses, Minware & Martheltwie, at Rise castell point west of
[Sidenote: Dugledie.]
Coit Kenles (as I haue béene informed) it taketh in the other sword,
named Dugledie, wherof I read as followeth. The head of the Dugledie
is somwhere at northwest, betwixt S. Laurences & S. Dugwels, from
whence it runneth to Trauegarne, Redbaxton, & taking in a rill by the
waie from Camrose at the west, it goeth to Hauerford or Hereford west,
and there vniteth it selfe with a water, which peraduenture is the
[Sidenote: Gwilie.]
same that Leland called Gwilie. Certes it riseth short of Walton, and
comming by S. Leonards chappell and Pendergest, it falleth I saie into
the Dugledie, ouer against the towne of Hauerford or Herford west, but
in Welsh Hufford; as Lhoid dooth set it downe. Beneath Herford it
taketh in another water from south west, whose head is short of S.
Margarets chappell, and enterance betweene Harraldston and Herford,
which Harraldstone receiueth the name of Harrald the successour of
Edward the confessour as some call him, who was a gréeuous mall vnto
the Britons that remained in the time of the said Edward; as I haue
noted elsewhere. Then the Dugledie still descending taketh in the
Frese fr[=o] Fresethorpe, a rill of no great accompt, and therefore I
go from it making hast vnto Culthell, & omitting two rils betwéene it
and the Clotheie on the southside, of no great weight and moment. The
Cultlhell commeth into the Dugledie beneath Bolston, with a streight
course from by north, of three or foure miles, rising by west of
Slebach, and comming by Bowlston, after whose vnition with the
aforesaid water they run on as one till they méet with the Clothie,
casting out by the waie sundrie salt créekes, as the maine chanell
dooth from thence foorth vntill it passe the Sandie hauen, the Dale
rode (whither a sillie fresh rill commeth of small value) & be come
about againe to the large Ocean.
