Note 67 — ALTHORPE.
Reading edition
(return) I was much struck with the inscription on a stone tablet, in a fine old wood near the house: "This wood was planted by Sir William Spencer, Knighte of the Bathe, in the year of our Lord 1624:"—on the other side, "Up and bee doing, and God will prosper." It is mentioned in Evelyn's "Sylva."
