SIR WALTER PALK CAREW, B.ART. 59 



Western roads ; and many a steady lesson had he at 

 the hands of the brothers Ward, who used to drive in 

 the county of Devon. Henr^^ Ward spoke of him as 

 one of the best pupils he ever had. 



Sir Walter was buried in the family vault at the 

 little church close to Haccombe House. 



The door of this church still bears the remains of 

 four ancient horseshoes nailed there as a token of 

 thanksgiving by a Carew, who, long years ago, 

 wagered with a Champernowne of Dartington as to 

 which of them should swim his horse furthest out to 

 sea. The Carew won the wager and had considerable 

 difficultv in saviner his own life and that of his friend.
