other large Trees were unrooted and fwept away, with 
feveral Quickfet Hedges; and feme Quillets by the fide 
of the River Elvcy fo cover’d with Stones and Gravel, 
that the Owners can’t well tell whereabouts their Hedges 
and Landmarks ftood ; and the fame River has alter’d its 
courfe in fome places, fo as to rob the Landlords on one 
fide of fome Acres, and beftdwed as much on the oppo- 
fite fide. Two or three Rivulets, that convey’d Water 
to fome Mills, have been fo choaktup with Stones and Gra- 
vel, that the Owners don’t think the Profit will counter- 
vail the great charge of clearing them. 
It is affirmed by a great many people, that the great 
Floods were not fo much the effefts of the Rain, as the 
breaking out of an infinite number of Springs, in fuch 
places, as they were never known to flow from before. 
In the Town of Denbigh a great many broke out in the 
Houfes and Stables, efpecially in that part which lies 
next the Caftle on the North fide of it ; fome of which 
broke out with a great deal of violence, and in fuch a 
quantity, that it is affirmed by feveral men of the Town, 
that three of thefe new Springs, which flowed out of 
the Stables of the three noted Inns, viz. the Bull, Crofs 
Keys, and Bows Head , were fufficicnt to turn any Corn 
Mill. 
. At a fmall diftance, Northward of Denbigh, .lies Parkr 
Snodiog, a Rocky Hill, out of which broke out a great 
many Springs, which flowed fo plentifully for nine or 
ten days, that the Cattel water’d in them for that time ; 
whereas before and after, the people were forc’d to Wa- 
ter them all Summer long at a Weil in the High-way, at 
fome diftance from this Parh-Stiodiog. There are fe- 
veral deep Holes and Trenches cut in the High- ways 
adjoyning to the River Elay, &c. iome fo very large, 
as to hide 3 or 4 Horfes, which is not attributed fo much 
to the overflowing of the River, as to the breaking out 
of Springs in thofe very places.
