GORTON.

and not quite symmetrical ashlar supports. On the east wall at 

 each end of the altar is a large bold moulded and square bracket. 

 In the south wall adjoining is a Piscina. 



Such is Gorton, a place well worth rambling to from Upwey or 

 Portesham stations delightful to visit, if standing alone, what 

 with its charming and uncommon situation, its own, and its 

 chapel's, antiquarian interest. But it is not alone. Quito near is 

 Friar's Waddon, retaining a group of interesting cottages still 

 interesting, although on the largest the plague of slate has 

 descended. Then a little way further from Upwey is West 

 Waddon, an admirably built and most excellently situated 18th 

 century house. And between the two is Coryates, the Corfe gate, 

 the cut way. It is well worth walking from Upwey station just 

 to see that astonishing passage in the hills, specially when a low 

 evening sun throws the steep western scarp into deep shadow.
