 Farm, near Salisbury (1838) and at Bulbridge, near Wilton (1855), he was 

 very widely known as a land agent, a leading agriculturist, and great breeder 

 of Hampshire Down sheep, and was respected as widely as he was known. 



Susan Esther Wordsworth, born March 16th, 1842, died June 23rd, 1894, 

 at the Palace, Salisbury. Buried at Britford, It may safely be said that no 

 woman now living is so well known and so widely beloved throughout the 

 counties of Dorset and Wilts as was Mrs. Wordsworth. Taking from the first 

 the greatest interest in all diocesan work — more especially in work which 

 affected the welfare of women — and travelling everywhere with her husband, 

 the Bishop, through the length and breadth of the two counties, she did in 

 Wiltshire as she had already done in Oxford, winning the affectionate esteem 

 of all who came in contact with her. Truth spoke of her as " the best bishop's 

 wife since Mrs. Tait," and when the end came she was mourned not less 

 sincerely by rich, and poor alike in the Diocese of Salisbury than she was by 

 those who had been privileged to know her in the old Oxford days at Brasenose.

 County Mirror of June 29th, The Devizes Gazette of June 28th, The 

 Guardian of July 4th, and many other papers contained obituary notices.
