Alon^ the opposite shore is the beau¬ 
tiful village of Wetheral, with tlie re¬ 
mains of its Gothic abbey. In the 
mausoleum in Wetheral church, is a most 
capital piece of sculpture, executed by 
iNohekens, to the memory of Maria the 
daughter of Lord Archer, who was mar¬ 
ried to the present Mr. Howard in 1787, 
and who died Nov. 1788, aged 20 years. 
Some idea may be formed of the gran¬ 
deur of this monument by consulting Mr. 
Britton’s “ Fine Arts of the English . 
School, No. 4/^ 
Corbv castle, on the autliority of an¬ 
cient records, is supposed to have been 
a gentleman’s seat from the conquest: but 
the architecture of the tower, the form 
of the windows, as seen from the court, 
and the thickness and solidity of Jts walls, 
nia.ke it probable that it was partly built 
by the Romans. Other parts of the house 
have been heightened, and additions 
have been made, which give it the ap¬ 
pearance of a more modern mansion; 
and the late and present owners have 
added much to its convenience. There 
are some pictures deserving notice.

tion of resigning his dominions to his son, 
“ to leave (as he expressed) some interval 
between the world and eternity.”
