"There is no petrol to be bought at Blagdon, which is a mere hamlet on the downs. Anyhow, here are two gallons ample for your needs but if your man is walking to Blagdon you will be compelled to wait till he returns, Monsieur Marigny." Though Medenham did not endeavor to check the contemptuous note that crept into his voice, he certainly ought not to have uttered those two concluding words.
Burtle, a parish 1 m. N. of Edington Station. The church is modern. Butcombe, a village 2 m. N. of Blagdon, prettily situated in a nook of the Wrington Vale. Several monastic bodies originally owned property here, but the church does not seem to have benefited largely by their proprietorship. It is a small Perp. structure, of no great interest. Butleigh is a pleasant village, 4 m.
In the churchyard is a very fine yew tree, locally credited with an age of almost 1000 years. To the E. of the church rise the wooded sides of Dundon Beacon, a striking-looking hill with the summit encircled by a camp. A cist, containing a skeleton and some metal rings, is said to have been discovered here. Compton Martin, a village 3 m. E.S.E. of Blagdon.
