Extract

Dr. Stukely, in his seventh Iter, speaking of a hill a little above Ambrosbury, says, “The Icening-street runs between “this hill and the Bourn river coming from Newbury, as I sup “pose, through Chute forest, where, vulgarly called Chute Cause-“way, at Lurgishall, it makes a fine terras-walk, in the garden “of Sir Philip Meadows; then passes the Bourn River about Tud-“worth, and, so by this place, to the eastern gate of old Sarum, the “Roman Sorbiadunum.”
