Extract
I send you a Survey of the Royal Manor of Clarendon in Wiltshire, made in the first year of King Edward the First. When I resided at Salisbury in 1821, I obtained leave to dig on the site of Clarendon Palace in order to discover the plan of it. In the course of searching for the traces of the foundations, I found some painted glass, Norman tiles, and fragments of painted stucco; but I should doubt their being part of any thing described here, for it is most probable that the walls had been often fresh painted and the windows new glazed since the time of Henry the Third or Edward the First. The painted glass, however, was very thick, which is a mark I believe of great antiquity.
