Pass Defford and Birmingham ; enclosed, good tur¬ 
nips and clover* fruit trees, pastures, and dairy cows, 
potatoes, elm timber, and excellent meadows on Avon : 
pass the river over a bridge to Eckington, which, with 
Bredon, have two excellent common fields; fruit trees 
about the villages, some ridges a yard high, and 15 or 
16 wide, but soil to the bottom ; but some broke down 
and divided, I suppose, for experiment; bean land 
ploughing for wheat, clover on some lands; good 
Cotteswold sheep. 
In both these common fields are large breadths of 
turnips and potatoes, which are good crops, well ma¬ 
naged, and kept clean, some on broad high ridges, and 
some on smaller ridges broken down. In Bredon field 
is also a breadth of the Swedish turnip. 
Poor women plucking up bean stubble for fuel, which 
they have for their trouble; fallows here for wheat, 
and Cotteswold sheep kept; observed in these fields 
three kinds of Chadlock as weeds, 1. the common wild 
mustard; 2. smooth leaved, or wild rape; 3. rough 
leaved with paler flowers, wild radish. From Bredon 
field to Tewkesbury, two miles, is all grass land of the 
best quality. 
October 9, from Tewksbury round the south side of 
Bredon Hill to Evesham.—First two miles Vale of Avon, 
all at grass, rich land ; pass Bredon to Kemerton ; en¬ 
closed, thence to Overbury, where Mr. Martin, mem¬ 
ber for Tewkesbury, has a seat, with groves of very 
fine elm adjoining; through Conderton and Becld'ord to 
Evesham, the country enclosed, and a large proportion 
at grass. 
Evesham is on the river Avon, which is navigable 
here and all through the county; orchards and wal¬ 
nuts plenty; gardens here for the supply of Birming¬ 
ham,
