In Answer to yours, relating to the Damages done by the late Storm in, and about out Town, is, that we had great part of the Roof of our Church uncover'd, which was cover'd with very large Purbick-stone, and the Battlements of the Tower, and part of the Leads blown down, some Stones of a vast weight blown from the Tower, several of them between two or three hundred weight, were blown some Rods or Perches distance from the Church; and 12 Sheets of Lead rouled up together, that 20 Men could not have done the like, to the great Amasement of those that saw 'em: And several Houses and Barns blown down, with many hundreds of Trees of all sorts; several Stacks of Chimneys being blown down, and particularly of one _Thomas Spencer_'s of this Town, who had his Top of a Brick Chimney taken off by the House, and blown a cross a Cart Road, and lighting upon a Barn of _Richard Holloway_'s, broke down the end of the said Barn, and fell upright upon one End, on a Mow of Corn in the Barn; but the said _Spencer_ and his Wife, al-tho' they were then sitting by the Fire, knew nothing thereof until the Morning: And a Stack of Chimneys of one Mr. _Imber_'s fell down upon a young Gentlewoman's Bed, she having but just before got out of the same, and several Outhouses and Stables were blown down, some Cattel killed; and some Wheat-ricks entirely blown off their Stafolds; and lighted on their bottom without any other damage; this is all the Relation I can give you that is Remarkable about us, _I remain your friend and Servant_, William Mitchel. At _Ringwood_ and _Fording-Bridge_, several Houses and Trees are blown down, and many more Houses uncovered. _From_ Oxford _the following Account was sent, enclosed in the other, and are confirm'd by Letters from other Hands_. _SIR_, The inclos'd is a very exact, and I am sure, faithful Account of the Damages done by the late Violent Tempest in _Oxford_. The particulars of my Lord Bishop of _Bath_ and _Wells_, and his Ladies Misfortune are as follows, The Palace is the Relicks of a very old decay'd Castle, only one Corner is new built; and had the Bishop had the good Fortune to have lain in those Apartments that Night, he had sav'd his Life. He perceiv'd the fall before it came, and accordingly jump't out of Bed, and made towards the Door, where he was found with his Brains dash'd out; his Lady perceiving it, wrapt all the Bed-cloaths about her, and in that manner was found smother'd in Bed. This account is Authentick, _I am, Sir, yours_, Dec. 9. 1703. J. Bagshot. _SIR_,
