Tomb at Longnor

I advised this tomb to be repaired, and the inscription preserved on a brass plate, covered with a Gothic canopy of the same date with the event. This forms an appropriate ornament at the angle of the house, which stands on a bold terrace in the garden, commanding an extensive view of the Severn, and the distant Welsh mountains*. *[It was deemed necessary to take down the old house entirely, and I hope it is rebuilt with little variation from the original character: but as in this case I was not consulted as the architect, and have never seen the present house, I can only speak of its situation, and not of its character.]
