pomt, coinciding with the end of 
this building in the coal-yard, and 
the assigned place of the gateway. 
But from this termination of the 
northerly wall, another wall must 
have commenced, carrying on the 
course of the western wall up the 
bank of the road from the church 
to the mill, and pointing through 
the porched house there. A little 
to the east of the porch, parallel 
with this, have been found, in the 
long and narrow garden adjoining, 
several walls issuing from the great 
wall, and crossing the narrow 
breadth of the garden. ‘These were 
evidently the foundations of a range 
of rooms, that extended along the 
northern face of the great wall, as 
another extended along the southern, 
and constituted one side of a higher 
court, as the other did of a Jower. 
And as the depth of the garden be- 
low the road, about five feet, has 
been produced by the cellars under 
all, so the breadth of the garden de- 
notes the size of the rooms not 
much superior in dimensions to 
those on the southern side. On the 
road then from the church to the 
mill, and about the porch of the 
porched house, stood the gateway 
of the higher court, facing the 
greater church stile, admitting the © 
road from it at this front gate, and 
dismissing it to the mill at a back 
gate, where the great wall and the 
‘long garden equally terminate to 
the west. How far this higher court 
went to the north, I cannot ascer- 
tain. No remains are known to 
have been discovered behind the 
porched house, or behind its accom- 
panying house on the west. But it 
extended some way, no doubt. It 
formed a just quadrangle, or regular 
court; and its memory has been 
nearly lost, I suppose, to the pre-

sent generation, from its materials 
having been early begged of the 
-lords, by their nomineers, the rec- 
tors, for the enlargement of the par 
sonage house, for the enclosure of 
its courts, and for the re-construc- 
tion of some of its offices. Two of 
the three towers were fixed, otf 
course, upon the two gateways of 
this higher court. The third was 
fixed, I believe, upon another gate- 
way, that opened to the north, and 
towards some appendages of the 
castle ; the orchard, the farm-yard, 
and the fields, retained for its own 
use. And there being no space for 
these appendages upon the south, 
because of the tide-way, on the east, 
because of the precipices, or on the 
west, because of the parsonage ; 
they must necessarily have been on 
the north. This was the lower.— 
The higher was a much later addi- 
tion. This is evident, from the 
difference of archite¢ture in the re- 
mains of both. Those of the lower 
are universally constructed with 
clay mortar, while those of the 
higher are cemented with lime.— 
Both are reciprocally apparent in 
all the joints of their stones ; and in 
that part of the long wall, the foun- 
dation ‘of which has been dug up 
lately, at the westerm end, pieces of 
lime have been found, so solid and 
so massy, that some persons wildly | 
supposed the lime to have petrified 
in the ground, from age. These 
pieces assuredly were the liquid 
lime, that had been poured boiling 
hot upon the foundations, had form- 
ed itself into irregular cakes, in the 
interstices between the stones ; and 
then, from its close adherence to 
the stones, perhaps, from the oppo- 
sition between the heat of these, and 
the cold of those, and certainly from 
the exclusion of the external air af.
