January 15. There rose such a passing wind that the 

 like had not been heard of in many years before. It 

 began about evensong time in the south, and that with 

 such force that it overthrew and blew down strong and 

 mighty buildings, as towers, steeples, houses, and chim- 

 neys. This outrageous wind continued thus for the space 

 of six or seven days, whereby even those buildings that 

 were not overthrown and broken down were yet so shaken 

 that they, without repairing, were not able long to stand. 

 After this followed a very wet season, namely in the 

 summer time and harvest, so that much corn and hay 

 was lost and spoiled for want of seasonable weather to 

 gather in the same (Holinshed).
