PIISTORY OF GLAXVILLE S WOOTTON- 



youngest son of Barbara (Lady Henley), died in the 

 year 1758 unmarried ; but before his death lie sold 

 his estate to Edward Walter, Esq., of Stalbridge, on 

 October 10th, 1754, who again sold it on October 

 16th, 1707, to Captain James Dale, of Blandford. 

 His log-books, which are still in the possession of the 

 family, are very interesting ; and contain an account 

 of his battle with the East Indian pirate, Tullagree 

 Augria. The aforesaid Robert Henley, Esq., a gentle- 

 man of great virtue and learning, was formerly Fellow 

 of New College, Oxford, and member of parliament 

 for Lyme Regis. The manor-house, late Henley's, 

 stood at a little distance to the north of the church, 

 and was an ancient building, probably erected by the 

 Williams whose arms were in the front of the house. 

 In 1804 it was rebuilt, for his own residence, by the 

 son of Captain Dale James Dale, Esq., of Bland- 

 ford, father of James Charles Dale, Esq., M.A.,F.L.S. 

 In pulling down the old house a coin of Henry VIII. 

 was found, which was again put into the foundations 

 with one of George III. The house is pleasantly 

 situated, surrounded with lofty oaks and elms planted 

 by Mr. Henley, and is close to a beautiful and spark- 

 ling spring of water, which never fails and always 

 keeps to the same degree of temperature. Upon the 

 lawn used to stand a very large and handsome ever- 

 green oak. 



Part of the estate which was allotted to the Collins's 

 seems to have been alienated to the Napiers of More
