[Ref: 49756] £360.00
[Ross-on-Wye.] 76. [The attractive market town of Ross lies on the River Wye in Herefordshire. The town's most prominent building is the thirteenth century church, which stands on a rock overlooking the town, with its graceful spire a conspicuous landmark for miles around. It is opposite to the Markey Hall, a building or red sandstone erected in the reign of Charles II. The quiet, pleasant streets of Ross have made the town a favourite with artists and writers, amongst them Charles Dickins. It was here that he met his friend and biographer, John Forster, and decided to undertake his American reading tour of 1867-8; also associated with the town is the charitable and eccentric John Kyrles, immortalized by Alexander Poper as "The Man of Ross." Ross-on-Wye is in every way a typical market town of the West Country.]

The Stoke Edith estate set in its Herefordshire parkland; deer in the foreground. Stoke Edith Park was the seat of Sir Henry Lingen, a Royalist officer in the English Civil War, who was buried in the church in 1662. His widow sold the estate in 1670 to Thomas Foley, who settled it on his second son Paul. Paul rebuilt the timber-framed mansion Stoke Court from 1695, when he became Speaker. The house, renamed Stoke Park, remained in the family until the death of Thomas Lord Foley who, having inherited the Great Witley estate from his distant cousin Thomas 2nd Baron Foley, settled Stoke Edith on his second son Edward Foley (1747-1803). Many of the family were members of Parliament. Stoke Park remained their principal residence until it was burnt down in 1926. Not in Abbey Scenery.

[Image slip:] Tomb of the Lady Ann Grimston in the Churchyard of Tewin, Herts. [Letterpress:] The Tomb of Lady Anne Grimston, in the Churchyard of Tewin, in Hertfordshire. Dispalys one the most extraordinary and romantic of those freaks in which it is proverbial that Dame Nature delights. The masonry of the tomb - once firmly set, and bound with iron pins together...however unusual, we are content to regard as beautiful illustrations of natural laws. The following inscription is still legible on the tomb: Here lyeth interred the Body of the Right Honourable Lady Anne Grimston, Wife to Sir Grimston, Bart. of Gorhambury, in Hertfordshire, Daughter to the late Right Honourable Earl of Thanet, Who departed this life Nov.22nd, 1713, In the 60th year of her age.

Tomb of Lady Anne Grimston, St Peter's Church, Tewin, Hertfordshire. Legend has it that Lady Anne Grimston was to say the least a staunch atheist, the story goes that on her death bed she refused to allow the Vicar to administer the last rites. She went on to say that should God and the teachings of the Bible be true then seven trees would sprout from her grave, and so they did.
