Note 75 — Chapter V · CALSHOT CASTLE AND THE OLD SOUTH-EASTERN COAST.

Reading edition

I believe on that of the Oglander MSS. in the possession of the Earl of Yarborough, but which I have never seen. Neither the Iter Carolinum, Herbert’s Memoirs (London, 1572, p. 38), Huntington’s account (same volume, p. 160), Berkeley’s Memoirs (second edition, 1702, p. 65), The Ashburnham Narrative (London, 1830, vol. ii. p. 119), nor Whalley’s letter in Peck’s Desiderata Curiosa (tom. ii., lib. ix., pp. 374, 375), nor Hammond’s, in Rushworth’s Collection (part iv., vol. ii., p. 874), mention the place, though the latter would seem to indicate that the King sailed direct from Tichfield to Cowes. Ashburnham and Berkeley had, we know from Berkeley (Memoirs, same edition as before, p. 57) and Ludlow (Memoirs, 1771, p. 93), previously gone by Lymington to the Island.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
