He, the most fretful and turbulent of men, read books with patient care, and bore the contradictions of pedants in the course of long discussions on philosophy and arts and letters.
Its destruction was stayed, and then, happily, it was purchased by the present owners, who have done so much to restore its original beauties. Mr. Ockwells was built by Sir John Norreys about the year 1466.
