Tunstall church
|
|
|
On the right, a quarter of a mile from the village of Tunstall,
stands a Church, a plain fabric of middle Gothic. The interior
has lately been restored, and - with a painting, over the
Communion Table, of the descent from the Cross, by an ancient
Master, and the stained glass in the windows - is well worthy of
notice. The subjects in the east window are, Christ delivering
the Keys to St. Peter, and the Virgin and Child; in the west, St.
George and the Dragon, and St. John the Baptist (to whom the
Church is dedicated.)

Over Burrow
|
|
|
A mile onward is OVERBOROUGH, or Burrow: its cottages overgrown
with roses and woodbines; and the small garden plots in front,
blooming with fragrant flowers, and verdant with laurels and
rhododendrons.

ROMAN STATION.- Immediately on passing Leck Beck, we arrive on
'classic ground,' - the site of the Bremetonacae of
Antonine. Burrow Hall, a respectable mansion of the last century,
is erected upon the Praetorium, but at this day no remains exist
to tell 'where once the City stood.'
