Transcription
« above these staires there is a long stony walke at the least halfe a mile high, and very steepe, which leadeth to the top of the Hill where there are many old Monuments, whereof one is the Temple of Venus built on the very top of the hill, but now it is converted to a Colledge of Canon Monkes. » |
