I T m m D am D une is stated that the na e of this place is derived fro the words , or , a To r e a ridge of hills along a co st, and r , a tower ; the latter, however, evidently

LUTTRELL . m The ancient castle, so far as we have the eans of judging, was a quadrangle, d i n while the keep was in all probability circular . The present castle was erecte , the — th e reign of Queen Elizabeth, upon the site of the older building that is, upon

th e . sides, to extent of nearly thirty acres, are clothed with wood The top of the mi t m c x tr e . hill is no ore than a thin ridge, with the shell of a tower at its eastern y m The tower, which was built by a for er Mr . Luttrell, is overgrown with ivy, has

and m m the appearance of being in ruins, serves as a land ark to sea en navigating ” the British Channel .

I n d m ﬁne m - u n the groun s is a re arkably le on tree, growing in the Open air, req iri g, d u m however, to be protecte d ring the winter onths .
