Sowed my own ashes on the great meadow.  Timothy hides himself again.  Men turn their sheep into the green wheat.  The hunters killed a female hare, which gave suck: so there are young leverets already.  Dr Chandler’s labourer, in digging down the bank in the midst of the parsonage garden called the grotto, found human bones among the rocks.  As these lay distant from the bounds of the church-yard, it is possible that they might have been deposited there before there was any church, or yard.  So again, in 1728, when a saw-pit was sunk on the Plestor under the wall of court-yard, many human bones were dug-u at a considerable distance from the church-yard.
