Just against this is a wall Cover’d over w^{th} Lawrell finely Cutt, and also in y^e middle is an arch, and on Either side stone staires ascends it w^{ch} terminate in a sort of half pace all Cover’d over w^{th} Lawrell, and this Enters a doore into another Garden through a little garden house. This also has a fine fountaine Like y^e others, only as most of y^e others was green walks this was Gravell, so was the garden on y^e Right side of y^e house. Ye front Garden w^{ch} has y^e Largest fountaine has also a fine Green house and very fine flowers, and y^e beds and borders are Cut in severall formes; y^e Greens are very fine and y^e hedges Cutt in severall formes; there was one tree not much unlike y^e Cyprus green but y^e branches were more spread and of a Little yellower green, y^e Barke of y^e Limbs yellow—it was y^e Cedar of Lebonus. There was also fine strip’d stocks, Double Like a Rose. There was a Large Ewe tree in y^e middle of one Garden Cut in forms, fine ffirrs and Cyprus and ffilleroy of w^{ch} some was striped Like silver, white, others yellow Like Gold, w^{ch} gave them their different names, and fine gilded and striped Hollys. There was one green in a pott Call’d S^t John y^e baptists herb, it was full of many Leaves and y^e Coullour not much unlike the green they Call Solomons Seale but longer and bigger Leaves; its an annual plant. Here just by y^e wilderness is y^e tulip tree w^{ch} runns up of a great height and y^e flower is on y^e top; it flowers in August. There is a great avery of Birds w^{ch} stands Like a sumer house open; there is also many Close averys of Birds and severall Green shady walks and Close arbours. There are very fine woodbines grows like tuffs all in flower Red and white. There is some of y^e fountaines that have figures in them that throws up water a greate height—a Cascade of water. Then I returned into y^e hall and so into a Coole roome in w^{ch} was a fountaine where I dranke a Glass of wine and so proceeded. This was 3 miles from Chartry, thence through a fine visto or Glide of trees w^{ch} runs along y^e parke and so to Burton on y^e Trent 2 long miles. This is a pretty large town; here is a very long stone bridge over y^e Trent: the Streetes are very well pitch’d and some very broad. Thence over Nedwood fforest 6 mile, and thence to Yoxsell, w^{ch} is 6 mile more to Woolsley and they are all Long miles; then I went againe to Stafford town 5 miles and from thence to Jnstree M^r Thetwins—its bad way. You go by S^t Thomas’s w^{ch} was some old abbey—its still a good house.
