It was made by a certain Wye Waltonstall, who lived in the days of Elizabeth, and, seeing that he dedicated it to 'the Vertuous Ladyes and Gentlewomen of Great Britain, I am sure that the gallant writer, could he know of our great renaissance of cosmetics, would wish his little work to be placed once more within their reach.
The Royalist garrison of about one hundred and sixty men were reduced to great extremity and tried to escape by a boat, but in this they were disappointed, as one of the besiegers, watching his opportunity, swam across the Wye with a knife in his teeth and cut the boat adrift. Then the castle was assaulted and taken, and the commander and most of the garrison slain.
*Richard de Capella*, A.D. 1120-1127, King’s chaplain and keeper of the Great Seal under the Chancellor. He helped to build at Hereford a bridge over the Wye. Ethelbert’s Day. Nine-tenths of the profits of this fair went to the Bishop and the rest to the Canons of the Cathedral. The bishop’s bailiff held a court within the palace precincts, with pillory and stocks.
On the north it stretched from where the Severn enters Shropshire to where that river is joined on the south by the influx of the Wye. From the west to the east perhaps its greatest width might have been found from a point where the latter river, near Hay, leaves the counties of Radnor and Brecon, by a line drawn to the bridge at Gloucester.
"Everybody knew that the young leddy an' you were on the Wye: 'deed to goodness, some of us thought you were in it. Anyways, it was long after ten when she " "You mean Mrs. Devar, I suppose the older lady of the two who arrived in my car?" "Yes, that's her.
"The evenin' licht, sir," he answered at length; "for ye see the sun's deem' like, an' deith's like a fa'in asleep, an' the grave's the bed, an' the sod's the bedclaes, an' there's a lang nicht to the fore." "Are ye sure o' that, Malcolm?" "It's the wye folk thinks an' says aboot it, sir." "Or maybe doesna think, an' only says?" "Maybe, sir; I dinna ken."
Manners laid her gently down upon the bank and sprinkled some water upon her, for they were on the slopes of the Wye, and in a few moments she mastered her feelings and opened her eyes. "I am dizzy," she apologetically exclaimed, as she saw the form of her beloved bending over her. "I shall be better soon."
"Yes," said Fox, carelessly; "I intend making you a lieutenant, sir, in the Royal Navy." The moment the words were out I was a-tremble as to how he would take the offer. For he had a certain puzzling pride, which flew hither and thither. But there was surely no comparison between the situations of the master of the Belle of the Wye and an officer in the Royal Navy.
Three miles below Bakewell, near the Wye, is one of the most famous old mansions of England Haddon Hall. This ancient baronial home, with its series of houses, its courtyards, towers, embattled walls, and gardens, stands on the side of a hill sloping down to the Wye, while the railway has pierced a tunnel through the hill almost underneath the structure.
Retracing the Derwent to the Wye again, the valley of the latter is open below for several miles, and then as Matlock is approached a mass of limestone stretching across the valley seems to bar all egress, and the river plunges through a narrow glen.
