• • 542 LINTON. Mrs. Dowell, are the principal landowners. The soil is sandy and loamy; subsoil, chiefly rock and clay ; products, wheat, barley, roots, fruit, &c. Linton is in the diocese and archdeaconry of Hereford and rural deanery of Ross; living, a vicarage; value, £571, with residence and 68 acres of glebe; patrons, the president and fellows of St. John's College, Oxford; vicar, Rev. Edward Palin, B.D., late fellow and tutor of that college, who was instituted in I 866. The earliest register is dated I570. The church is dedicated to St. Mary the 17-irg£n. Mention is made in Domesday Book of a church in this parish, and the earliest part of the present structure is of Norman work, but it received its existing form in the 13th and 14th centuries. It is 128 feet long, and consists of nave and chancel, north and south aisle, north porch, western tower and spire with five bells. It underwent complete restoration in I8.7 5-76, at a cost of nearly £I,8oo. The ceiling of the belfry is beautifully grained, the ribs springing from corbels at the angles, and meeting in a circle at the centre. The belfry opens into the nave by a lofty arch in the Decorated style of the tower. The short and massive piers of the north side of the nave are of Norman character, the work, no doubt, · of the pious and munificent Talbots, barons of the neighbouring castle of Eccleswall ; the piers on the south support Pointed arches with Early English mouldings. The tower has a projecting newel staircase, and some belfry windows with dripstones resting on corbels. A chancel organ was erected in I888, by Eustace Ingram, of Hereford. The national school has accommodation for about I I 9 children1 with an average attendance of 69. Part of Gorsley Common, in this parish, and part of the adjoining parish of N ewent, in Glou...: cestershire, were in 1872 formed into an ecclesiastical district, and a new school church erected at a cost of about £I 7Ioo. The building, which is lofty and spacious, stands in Newent parish. The Rev. Alfred Metcalfe is the incumbent. Divine service is held on Sundays and a school on week-days. "Goff's endowed charity school," is at Blindman's gate. The Baptists have a chapel at Gorsley common. Broom's Ash, or Bromsash, is a hamlet distant about I mile S.W. of Linton. About half a mile farther south is Eccleswall Court, a modern residence in the occupation of Mr. Michael Berkley. · It occupies the site of Eccleswall castle, which will ever retain a certain . degree of interest as the cradle of the brave Talbots, founders of the earldom of Shrewsbury. It afterwards came into the possession of the Greys, Lords of Wilton ; but it has since passed from their descendants into other hands, and is now the property of Lord Ashburton. There was formerly a chapel belonging to Eccleswall castle, the bell and font of which were removed about a century ago to Lea church. Gorsley Common is a district about I mile to the E. of Linton.

LUGW ARDINE, WITH THE HAMLET OF HAGLEY. LUGWARDINE is a large parish and picturesque village, situated on the main road between Hereford and Ledbury, and about I mile S.W. of Withington station on the Worcester and Hereford branch of the Great Western railway. It is distant 3 miles E. by N.E. of Hereford, Iot W.N.W. of Ledbury, 13 S.S.E. of Leominster, 12 S.W. of Bromyard, and 14 N. of Ross; is in Radlow hundred, Hereford union, county court district, and petty sessional division, and Lugwardine polling district and electoral division of the county council. The population in 1871 was 790; in 1881, 755; inhabited houses, 15 5 ; families or separate occupiers, I 6 3 ; area of parish, 2,037 acres; annual rateable value, £6,371. Richard John Griffiths, Esq., of Newcourt (who is lord of the manor), Arthur Hutchinson, Esq., of Hagley park, W. Henry Barneby, Esq., of Longworth, Mrs. Watkins, of Wilcroft, Sir Herbert George Denman Croft, Bart., of Lugwardine court, Mr. William H. Godwin, and Mrs. Richard Johnson, are the principal landowners. The soil is a red clay; subsoil, gravel; it is highly reputed for its fertility, the chief crops being wheat, beans, barley, roots, hops, fruit, and pasture. The scenery is very diversified and pleasing, abounding with graceful undulations of hill and dale, meadow and wood, and watered by the river Lugg, which flows through the parish. This river is in general too narrow and too much sunk within its banks to be an object of great beauty : in some other respects it resembles the Wye, being impatient of control, and liable to sudden overflow, not solely from causes common to most rivers, but also from being dammed up or driven back by the higher current of the river Wye at the point of their junction. An Act of Parliament was passed in 1663, and a second about thirty years after, for the purpose of rendering the Lugg navigable; but difficulties arose, and nothing was effected. Attempts were again made in 1714, with the help of a private subscription, and barges were navigated as far as Leominster for a time; but from subsequent causes this was discontinued, and has not been renewed. On entering the village from Hereford, the river is crossed by a massive stone bridge, with three arches. This bridge was widened and improved in 1824, partly by subscriptions of the neighbourhood, and partly at the expense of the county. Lugwardine is in the diocese and archdeaconry of Hereford and rural deanery of Weston; living, a vicarage; value, £312, with residence, and 36 acres of glebe producing £55 yearly; patrons, the Dean and Chapter of Hereford; vicar, Rev. Augustus Charles Lee, M.A., of Christ Church, Cambridge, who was instituted in 1884. The
sss LUGW ARDINE. church, dedicated to St. Peter, was extensively altered and completely restored in 1871 at an expense of about £3,312, defrayed by subscription. It consists of nave, chancel, north and south aisles, and a massive square tower containing six bells and a clock. The tower is ornamented with some grim-looking specimens of antique sculpture. The interior of the church is lofty, and contains several stained glass windows, one at the east end and one at the west end by Messrs. Clayton & Bell, one in the south aisle by Messrs. Burlison & Grylls7 erected by friends and parishioners to the memory of the Rev. A. H. Price, the late vicar, who died in 1884 ; subject, the Saviour and the woman at the well of Samaria. The organ was rebuilt in 1872 by Nicholson, of Worcester, chiefly at the expense of Sir Her bert Croft, Bart. The parish registers commence with the year 1538. The national school for boys and girls has been recently altered and improved at an outlay of £230. It has accommodation for 147 children ; average attendance, I I 6. There are a few small charities in connection with the church. Connected with this parish are. the works of Messrs. Wm. Godwin & Son, manufacturers of encaustic tiles, hearths, tesselated pavements, etc., which, from their superior quality have obtained a world-wide reputation, being used at home, in our colonies, on the Continent, and in South America. The manufactory itself, though known by the name of the'' Lugwardine Encaustic Tile Works," is situated just outside the parish, by Withington railway station. These tiles have been supplied for Hereford, Worcester, Gloucester, and several other cathedrals, for Her Majesty the Queen, at Windsor castle, for the Assize courts, Manchester, and for a large number of important public buildings, churches, mansions, &c. There are several resident gentry in the parish. Newcou1·t, a handsome mansion, distant about half a mile west of the village, is the seat of Richard John Griffiths, Esq., ].P., D.L. Lttgwardine Court is pleasantly situated on an eminence above the Lugg, and is seen from the bridge as one enters the village. It is the seat of Sir Herbert George Denman Croft, Bart, M.A., (Oxon.), ].P., D.L., who was M.P., for the county of Hereford, from 1868 to 1874, when he retired from Parliament. Sir Herbert's ancestors represented Herefordshire in sixteen parliaments, between 1297 and 1874, and resided at Croft castle, in this county. Herbert Croft was Dean and Lord Bishop of Hereford (A.D. I 662 ), and his son, Herbert, was created a Baronet, in November, 167I, and was M.P., for the county of Hereford. Three of the bishop's brothers fought in the armies of Charles I., of whom the eldest, Sir William, was a very distinguished soldier, and was slain at the siege of Stokesay castle, near Ludlow. Bishop Croft was buried in Hereford cathedral. Longworth, the property of William Henry Barneby, Esq., J.P., D.L., is situated about 1 mile S. of the village of Lugwardine, and 4 miles E. of the city of Hereford. This mansion was for several centuries the seat of the ancient family of the W alwyns, who derived their name from Gwallain or Wallwain castle, in Pembrokeshire. Sir Peter Gwallain was engaged in the conquest of Brecknockshire, with the army of William Rufus. The grounds display some fine timber, and the
LUGW ARDINE. 559 scenery is pleasant. Hagley Park is the seat of Arthur Hutchinson, Esq., J.P., D.L. Hephill is now the residence of the Misses Peach. The other principal residences are Wzlcrojt (Mrs. Watkins); The Rock (Colonel King, R.A.) ; Bla£rmont (Mrs. Hawkins); and Rose Bank, the residence of Captain James Drummond Telfer, R.A., the chief constable of the county. Hagley is a hamlet in the parish of Lugwardine, distant about half a mile E. from the church. T·idnor Mill, a flour mill, now the property of the Rev. Thomas Edwards, vicar of Cwmdauddur, Rhayader, was last century held as a Government forge. PosTAL REGULATIONS. Post office, Lugwardine. Mrs. Elizabeth Southall, Sub-Postmistress.

The charities are of the annual value of £4I Ios., distributed at the discretion of the vicar and churchwardens. The national school for boys and girls has accommodation for I 6 5 children, with an average attendance of I23. There are chapels for the Baptists and the Primitive Methodists, both of which were erected in I865. Near the church are the ruins of Lyonshall castle, which was built by \Villiam Rufus, about the year 1090. In the reign of Edward II. it was partly demolished; scarcely anything now remains but its grass-grown moat and fragments of the outer walls, which are covered with ivy. "The very old lords of Leonshall," says Leland, "were the Marburyes, whose heir-general conveyed it to the Devereux in marriage." In the beginning of the reign of Henry III., Sir Stephen d'Ebroicis was lord of this manor and castle, and by him the church was given to the canons of St. Leonard of Pyona. There are several excellent residences and extensive farms in this parish. About 100 yards from the ruins of the ancient castle, is Castle We£r, which stands on elevated ground, commanding the extensive woodland scenery all around. It is the property of Col. Robert H. Price, the master of the Radnorshire and West Herefordshire hounds, which are kennelled here. Lynhales (formerly known as The Moor) is the seat of Stephen Robinson, Esq., J.P., D.L. It is distant about threequarters of a mile S. from the church, and is celebrated for a very fine herd of high-bred cattle, and a flock of superior Shropshire sheep. The Whzi'te1'n, distant Ii miles N.E. of the church, is the residence of Richard Green, Esq., D.L., J.P. It is beautifully situated, commanding a fine view of the picturesque country around. Elsdon, the property of Stephen Robinson, Esq., and the residence of Mr. William Britten, is distant If- miles S.W. of the village. Next End is I mile N., and Penrhos is r mile W. of the church. O.ifa's Dyke, a little south of Lyonshall, is in a tolerably perfect state. It consists of a trench and mound, the former supplying the means of raising the latter ; the ditch is invariably throughout its whole extent on the Welsh side, and averages 12 feet in width and 6 in depth. Its course across the river Arrow is very clear at the bottom of Lyonshall park. Two miles from Kington, on the Hereford road it is crossed near Penrhos, it then takes a northerly direction, skirting the western side of the hill above Bullock's mill; its course then grows devious and irregular we find it ascending heights and descending into valleys ; at Knill Garraway, where it is very perfect, it traverses a plain an~ makes an angle without any apparent reason -,adopting itself to the natural figure of the summit, it goes round the crest of Herrock, and descends at the northern end. After it leaves the parish of Kington, and just entering Radnorshire, it passes under Ditch hill, to which it obviously gives the name, thence winding round Evenjob hill and Evenjob bank, it pursues a northerly direction till it reaches the town of Knighton.
