Flinta til murar, vagars lagning, etc. 



Flints for walls, road-making, &c. 



In one place and another we saw walls of arable fields 

 built of flints only, af bara flinta. In some places a 

 great part of the church walls were built of them. Out- 

 side St. Alban's some carls were engaged in digging deep 

 ditches by the road side. Their depth was 3 'feet 6 inches. 

 Where these ditches were on the hills, there were a great 

 many large flints among the earth cast up from them, 

 some of them so large that one carl was scarcely able to 

 lift more than one of them. They were afterwards carried 

 out on to the roads to fill up the [T. I. p. 348] deep holes 

 made by their large and heavy cart and wagon-wheels. 



In other places where the ground was more even and 

 not in hills, small Pebblestones were dug up, which were 

 sma rundaktiga kiselstenar af bara flinta, small 

 round pebbles of flint, which also were carried out on to 

 the roads. Together with these Pebblestones there was 

 also dug up here a quantity of brick-colored grus or 

 gravel, which was afterwards screened, S&llades, from 

 the pebbles, io be used on paths in pleasure gardens and 

 kitchen gardens. In some of these places where the 

 ground was even, and not in hills, the soil, right down to 

 the bottom of the ditch, consisted of the aforenamed 

 brick-colored gravel, with clay amongst it, med lera 

 deribland, and an abundance of Pebblestones. In other 

 places also, on the hills, there was on the top the brick- 

 colored earth, 3 or 4 feet, and chalk under it, in which 

 was found abundance of flint. 



Kyrko-torns Skapuad, m. m. Church-towers' shapes, etc. 



The church-towers here in England, especially in the 

 country, were commonly such, that they did not taper 

 off at the top in a spire, spira eller spits, but resembled
