Ffrom Woolsly after an 8 weekes stay I went to Wolverhampton 11 long mile, then to Church-hill neare Sturbridge 9 or 10 mile farther, by the many Glasshouses where they Blow Broad Glass, but they were not at work on that sort when I was there. At Church-hill was at a farmer Like a Gentleman’s, a new pretty house of brick, but wanted ffurniture and Cleaneing and good order, but a hearty M^r and M^{rs}. The hill is pretty high and gives a great view of the Country which most belongs to M^r Foley-Tom of 10,000^£—Large Comonage, there he has a Little Lodge, new brick; his own house is 6 or 10 mile thence all within his own grounds, and has great jron works and mines, this is within two mile of Kederminster, as farre on the other side to Sturbridge. Thence I went to Worcester town a sandy way, and here are in some places quicksands. This is a 10 Long mile to Worcester but pretty flatt way for the most part, thence to Newhouse 12 or 14, the basest way for hills, stony narrow hollow wayes very difficult to pass. I went from Newhouse to Stoake four miles, M^r Foley’s the speaker’s son has a very fine pile of building, the wing to Herreford being now up in the Shell, which is all for state, great parlour, drawing roome, and bed Chambers, with their appendixes and backstaires, and a great staircase with Chambers over for state. This is Entred into out of the Greate hall, the middle of the house raiseing many stepps out of the Court, the Entrance to which on Each side has buildings uniform for Coach house stables, dairy out houses. The wing to the garden side is finish’d, being their appartment, a pretty staircase that two Easily go up, light from the Skye, jron railes and barristers, this from an arch jsle below which goes to the kitchen, and hath a doore into this front Court and into the gate backward, tho’ not visible on the garden side by y^e disguise of painting. From this you ascend these staires to the dineing roome which is Even to the great hall and must Enter from it when ffinish’d. Out of this on the Right hand was M^r Paul Folie’s the father’s studdy, long and Large, with back staires and a servants roome. On the Left hand is a drawing roome, beyond his Ladys bed Chamber, Closet and Servants roome, and next it are these staires of jron Railes that goes up to the next stage, which is over this same wing and is the appartment of the young M^r Folie and his Lady which now is the heir and in possession.
