51_16 Wisley, England Went today to Wisley from Kingston on a coach top. It was most delightful, going with Dr. T.A. Sprague of Kew on this excursion which he had arranged. It is beuatiful country that we travel through. We get down near Wisley Pond and circle the pond, collecting various rare plants. See nos. 15,607 et seq. Thus we worked through the woods and finally came out on a road through the forest. Down this until we struck a stile over a fence, leading to a path across a very beautiful meadow. It is a wonderful clear sunny day, equable temperature, no wind. Hundreds of people are in the fields, having holiday - in every field as we pass over the little streams and go on to Church Cobham. (See p. 126.) (See p. 19). |
51_17 July 6, 1930 Sprague goes into the old church with me for a moment, but will not leave his dog tied outside. I do not remain long in the church which has some points of interest - a list of vicars reaching back to about 1450! A tablet in memory of an East India Company director, about 1780. Then we go into a little tea place for tea - and talk - and so on home to Spragues at Kingston where we have Sunday evening supper with the family. - The next Sunday I went alone to Hampton Court, walking nearly all the way from Kew. It isn't far. At Kingston I crossed the river Thames to Hampton Wick and enquired of a dozen persons as to the memorial tablet to Timothy Bennett - shopkeeper and the like. Not one could tell me |
