Opposite the west end of the church, facing the 

 road, is a neat modern building, the residence of 

 the Rev. Arthur Cayley. On the east side of the 

 church is a mineral spring, which formerly issued 

 from the bank close to the Seven-beck ; and which 

 possesses some virtue. Lately the beck has washed 

 away the bank, and has so interfered with the mouth
