the intimate friend and correspondent of William Cobbett, who records many 

 visits paid to his estimable friend. Mr. Blonnt was a member of the ancient 

 and distinguished Catholic family of this name, so long seated at Maplednrham. 

 He married 1st, Jane, daughter of John Saterthwaite, Esq., of Mansergh Hall, 

 Westmoreland, and 2dly, Anne, only child of Mr. Richard Martin, of Hurst - 

 bonrne Tarrant, and by this lady he had an only daughter. Mr. IJlonnt died 

 in 1863, in his 84th year, and together with his father-in-law, and wife, who 

 long pre-deceased him, dying in 1820, in her 30th year, is buried in the church- 

 yard of his adopted village. At the top of Hnrstbourne Ilill is a solitary 

 cottage, where the old toll bar formerly stood. Tangley is, however, one of 

 those spots which, when once reached, would, for those wno cared not for the 

 bustle of the world, have especial charms, and the sweet nature of the scenery 

 would be fascinating to those who had once overcome the difficulties of the 

 access, and knew the nps and downs of the return. After so long and rough 

 a journey it was disappointing to rind that the Church, which is described as 

 having been " a small antique edifice," had been destroyed, as was the case 

 with its sister-church of Faccombe, when much that was beautiful and inimit- 

 able was ruthlessly swept away through ignorance and misplaced real. 

 Neither in the Church nor Churchyard do any ancient monuments remain, 

 bnt in the names of Leach, Smith, Mercer, Piper, Poore, etc., we trace the 

 descendants of ancestors living here in the Elizabethan age. 



In 1535, Sir Richard Reade was then lord of Tangley Manor.
