There are green spaces and a fine green banck w^{th} box or philteroy hedge Cut round. There are very good gardens abundance of fruite of all sorts and y^e ffinest dwarfe trees I ever saw, so thick like a hedge and a huge Compass Every single tree, and very full of fruite of apples, pears and Cherries; there are fine flowers, Heber roses white and yellow; there was a fine Sena trees y^t bears a great Branch of yellow fflowers. Y^e ground Lyes all well about y^e house and a fine park by the End of it, part of w^{ch} is on a high hill y^e side of w^{ch} the deer sport themselves, w^{ch} looks just on y^e house and is wonderfull pleasant: its a Large parke 6 miles round full of stately woods and replenish’d w^{th} red and fallow deer, one part of it is pretty full of Billberryes w^{ch} thrive under y^e shade of y^e oakes, its a black berry as big as a large pea and are Ripe about Harvest. There is a very ill Custome amongst them now not to be broken, when they are Ripe. The Country Comes and makes Boothes and a sort of faire y^e outside of y^e parke, and so gather y^e berries and sell y^m about y^e Country. The greenes they Call Wissums and on these wissums the Deer Brouse in y^e winter and on holly of which there is great quantetys. In Kankwood just by there is also great quantety’s of fferne w^{ch} tho’ it over runs their ground and so spoiles y^e grass where its much, yet y^e usefullness of it renders it necessary to be preserv’d; when it is at its maturity w^{ch} happens just before harvest or hay tyme, y^e whole Country are Employ’d in Cutting it up and burning it in heapes for y^e sake of y^e ashes w^{ch} they make fine and Rowle them up in Balls and so sell them or use them all y^e year for washing and scouring, and send much up to London, y^e ashe balls being Easily sent about, without w^{ch} they would have no ashes in the Country for such uses; for their fewell is altogether Coales w^{ch} Indeed are very good and plenty, you might have a load for 3 or 4 shillings brought home y^t would serve a poore mans familly y^e winter. Its in great pieces and so Cloven burns light so as the poorer sort works by it and so it serves for heate and light: its very shineing Coale all about this Country tho’ they Complaine they have lost y^e vein of the best sort w^{ch} they Call Channell Coale and is y^e sort they have still in Wales and Lancashire w^{ch} burnt much Lighter and less waste, but this I thought to be very good, no better than it. I have in London given 40^s for such a Load.
