At _Evercreech_, three Miles from _Brewton_, there were a poor Woman beg'd for Lodging in the Barn of one _Edmond Peny_ that same Night that the Storm was, she was wet the Day before in Travelling, so she hung up her Cloaths in the Barn, and lay in the Straw; but when the Storm came it blew down the Roof of the Barn where she lay, and she narrowly escaped with her Life, being much bruised, and got out almost naked through the Roof where it was broken most, and went to the dwelling House of the said _Edmond Peny_, and they did arise, and did help her to something to cover her, till they could get out her Cloaths; that place of _Evercreech_ received a great deal of hurt in their Houses, which is too large to put here. * * * * * At _Batcomb_ Easterly of _Evercreech_, they had a great deal of Damage done as I said before, it lay exactly with the Wind from _Evercreech_, and both places received a great deal of Damage; there was one Widow _Walter_ lived in a House by it self, the Wind carried away the Roof, and the Woman's pair of Bodice, that was never heard of again, and the whole Family escaped narrowly with their Lives; all the Battlements of the Church on that side of the Tower next to the Wind was blown in, and a great deal of Damage done to the Church. At _Shipton Mallet_ was great Damages done, as I was told by the Post that comes to _Brewton_, that the Tiles of the Meeting House was blown off, and being a sort of light Tiles they flew against the Neighbouring Windows, and broke them to pieces: And at _Chalton_ near _Shepton Mallet_ at one _Abbot_'s, the Roof was carried from the Walls of the House and the House mightily shaken, and seemingly the Foundation removed, and in the Morning they found a Foundation Stone of the House upon the top of the Wall, where was a shew in the Ground of its being driven out. At _Dinder_ within two Miles of _Shepton_, there was one _John Allen_, and his Son, being out of Doors in the midst of the Tempest, they saw a great Body of Fire flying on the side of a Hill, call'd _Dinder-hill_, about half a Mile from them, with a Shew of black in the midst of it, and another Body of Fire following it, something smaller than the former.
