WORKSOPP-PARK. 



In this park, at the corner of the Bradshaw-rail, 

 lieth the boal of an oak-tree which is twenty nine 

 foot about, and would be found thirty, if it could 

 be justly measured ; because it lieth upon the ground ; 

 and the length of this boal is ten foot, and no arm 

 nor branch upon it. 



In the same park, at the white-gate, a tree did 

 stand that was from bough-end to bough-end (that 

 is, from the extream ends of two opposite boughs) 

 1 80 foot; which is witnessed by Jo. Magson and Geo. 

 Hall, and measured by them both. 



Then because 1 80 foot, or 60 yards is the diameter; 

 30 yards will be the semidiameter : And by the 

 former analogies 



113 : 355 :: 60 : i88i 



and 



i : 30 :: 94^ : 2827! 



That is, the content of ground upon which this 

 tree perpendicularly drops, is above 2827 square 

 yards, which is above half an acre of ground : 

 And the assigning three square yards (as above) 

 for an horse, there may 942 be well said to 

 stand in this compass. 



In the same park (after many hundreds sold, and 

 carried away) there is a tree which did yield quarter- 

 cliff bottoms that were a yard square : and there is of 

 them to be seen at Worksop at this day, and some 

 tables made of the said quarter-cliff likewise.
