ITINERARY CONTINUED. 
In the year 1807, I made several other excursions 
into, and through the county, particularly in the spring 
to Brant Hall, in the summer to Lea Castle, Wolver- 
ley, Stourport, Droitwich, Bromsgrove, Chadwick 
Manor, and round the county through the Vale of 
Evesham, and to Worcester, Bromsgrove, and Stour¬ 
bridge ; in the autumn, through the west of the coun¬ 
ty, and the orchards and hop grounds, and to view the 
stall feeding on the Lechmere estates, which is very 
considerable, and several times to Mr. Knight’s occu¬ 
pation of Lea Castle, Wolverley : particulars of these 
excursions are incorporated in the different parts of this
