Paington cabbages

Paington. Celebrated for its cabbages, which are a coarse sort, coming nearer to the Strasburg or Scotch cabbage than any other variety, and, like it, attaining a large size on well manured loam. It cannot be recommended for the garden, unless perhaps in those of cottagers who may require it as food for cows or swine. Spoke with two of the growers, and brought away some seed (see p. 485.). A very old yew in the churchyard, with a hollow trunk filled in with brickwork.
