MEMORIALS OF RAY : 



halter. The like for the Lord Stourton, whose tomb is 

 also here on the other side of the chapel of our lady. A 

 monument of that family with six holes on one side, and 

 six on the other, alluding (as his coat of arms) to six 

 wells, three within his park and three without. The 

 Lord Cheyney's tomb; Bishop Beauchamp's; SirWilHam 

 Longspear's, Rosamond's son by King Henry IL A 

 stately rich monument of the httle Earl of Hertford ; Dr. 

 Wilton's, with a rebus on it, will and tun; Bishop 

 Capon's ; a monument of Sir Richard Mompesson and 

 his lady, which is a gaudy one ; Bishop Jewell, content 

 with a gravestone. The cloister is wide, and a furlong 

 about. The chapter-house is a large one, supported with 

 a pillar in the middle, and hath fifty-two stalls in it for the 

 fifty -two prebendaries of this church. About a mile from 

 Salisbury, in the way to Amesbury, stood old Sarum : 

 there are still remaining great trenches which encom- 

 passed the castle. They report that ancient Roman 

 coins and urns have been dug up here. 



Monday, July the 14th, we set forward to Amesbury, 

 from whence I again visited Stone-henge, about a mile 

 and an half west of the town. It consists of four rows 

 of stones, the outmost high stones standing in a circle, 

 and having stones lying upon them from stone to stone ; 

 each upright stone hath two tenons, which fill the mortices 

 of the incumbent stones, and so they all together formed 

 a circle. The stones within these are of a smaller size, 

 and the inner ones are set in an hexagonal form, and are 

 very large, two standing upright and pretty near together, 

 having tenons, and one stone laid upon them with two 

 mortices ; together they represent the Greek letter n. 

 Six there are of these, standing like the latera of an 

 hexagon, with a good void space between for the angles. 

 We counted these stones, and found the number of all 

 (small and great pieces and all) ninety-four. At Amesbury, 

 in the wall of the abbey, we saw an old gravestone, 

 supposed of Queen Guenever, King Arthur's wife ; these 

 remains are just behind the Marquis of Hertford's house,
