description of the Hundred of Branch & Dole. Leland also con- 

 founds Ellandune with Wilton . . . " 



I am much obliged to the Rev. C. Taylor for his permission to

 died Aug. 11th, 1900, aged 54. Buried at Leigh Delaniere. Eldest son

 and Lt.-Col. of the Wilts Yeomanry, but he shone less in public life and 

 county business than in his own home and on his own estates. It was 

 as a considerate and kind-hearted landlord that he rendered himself so
