somewhat damaged in the tiling; lower down the street the
thatch was a little touched at some places, but the damage
was inconsiderable.
The next house to the westward belonged to John Reed,
who had the corner of an out-house blown down, and his
house pretty much uncovered.
William Wallis’s house stood in a piece of ground, inclosed
by the highway; the occasion of his house’s falling seems
partly owing to a large apple-tree brought out of a neigh-
bour’s orchard, over three hedges, with the roots and earth
about it, which fell upon his house: he had the misfortune
to have his thigh broke in the fall. Over against Wallis’s
house, Mrs. Tomlin had a house and barn blown down.
Over against the church, Samuel Plummer, gentleman, had
the roof of a large out-building taken off, some rafters out
of his barn, and his house pretty much damaged in the
tiling.
The parsonage-house had the ridge and corners uncovered,
and a barn by the way-side blown down. The house by
Castleman’s oak, belonging to Mrs. Tomlin aforesaid, had a
stack of chimneys turned down upon the house, which, in
their fall, broke two or three rafters.
From Sedlescomb-street it bore up a small valley, between
two woods (pretty much damaging the timber of the said
Mrs. Tomlin, on the western side of its passage, and some
woodlands belonging to William Bishop, Esq. on the east,)
to Great Saunders, the seat of the said Mr. Bishop, where,
out of five, it beat down three stacks of chimneys ; a barn
and lodge by the house, and a malt-house, were very much
shook and damaged in the covering ; and above two hundred
yards in length of brick w'all, of which, some w'as little
more than three feet high, and appeared by the situation,
as wrell as height, to have been secure from the utmost vio-
lence of the w'ind.
Mrs. Tomlin had another house and barn blown down,
