  • New Hoards from Seventeenth-Century England Ii B.J
    NEW HOARDS FROM SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY ENGLAND II B.J. COOK 1. Davenham, Cheshire THIS group of thirty-two silver coins of Mary I and Elizabeth I was reported found on farmland near Davenham, Cheshire, by Mr C. Bailey in August 2000.1 Mr Bailey was metal-detecting on ploughland with the permission of the landowner. The coins were found in the sub-soil at a depth of about eighteen inches. Three of the coins were found stuck together, but the rest were scattered over approximately twenty square feet. The find was reported to the Cheshire coroner via Stephen Penny, curator of Salt Museum, of Cheshire Museums Service. A report on the coins was submitted to the coroner by the British Museum, on the basis of which the coins were declared to be Treasure at an inquest on 15 December 2000. The hoard was then acquired by Cheshire Museums Service. Davenham is a small village in the Hundred of Northwich. The coins consisted of just two denominations, twenty-nine shillings (one of Philip and Mary, and the rest of Elizabeth), and three groats (one of Mary and two of Elizabeth).2 The absence of any coins datable to the period 1561—82 is the result of this denomination selection, since no shillings or groats were produced in these years. If the find is categorised as essentially a group of shillings, the coins present fairly reflect the relative outputs of this denomination throughout Elizabeth's reign. The face value of the group was the round figure of thirty shillings. The latest coin present dates to 1601-2.

    Tintern Abbey Lines Written A Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey, On Revisiting The Banks Of The Wye During A Tour, July 13, 1798 FIVE years have passed; five summers, with the length Of five long winters! and again I hear These waters, rolling from their mountain-springs With a sweet inland murmur.1 Once again Do I behold these steep and lofty cliffs, 5 Which on a wild secluded scene impress Thoughts of more deep seclusion; and connect The landscape with the quiet of the sky. The day is come when I again repose Here, under this dark sycamore, and view 10 These plots of cottage-ground, these orchard-tufts, Which, at this season, with their unripe fruits, Among the woods and copses lose themselves, Nor, with their green and simple hue, disturb The wild green landscape. Once again I see 15 These hedge-rows, hardly hedge-rows, little lines Of sportive wood run wild; these pastoral farms Green to the very door; and wreathes of smoke Sent up, in silence, from among the trees, With some uncertain notice, as might seem, 20 Of vagrant dwellers in the houseless woods, Or of some hermit’s cave, where by his fire The hermit sits alone. Though absent long, These forms of beauty have not been to me, As is a landscape to a blind man’s eye: 25 But oft, in lonely rooms, and mid the din Of towns and cities, I have owed to them, In hours of weariness, sensations sweet, Felt in the blood, and felt along the heart, And passing even into my purer mind 30 With tranquil restoration:—feelings too Of unremembered pleasure; such, perhaps, As may have had no trivial influence On that best portion of a good man’s life; His little, nameless, unremembered acts 35 Of kindness and of love.
