page 130 note † Rook's Castle is situated in the parish of Broomfield, in a remote part of the Quantock Hills, between Cothelstone and Enmore, and is exactly ten miles from Wiveliscombe as the crow flies, without making any allowance for the well known sinuosities of the West-country lanes. It is now a farm-house belonging to Colonel Tynte.

page 131 note * Jewes is a large farm in the parish of Wiveliscombe, which for a long period belonged to the Aclands, and passed from them to the present Lord Carnarvon's grandfather, on his marriage with Elizabeth Kitty Aoland. It is at present the property of Thomas Boucher, Esq. There was an aisle in the old parish church (taken down some years ago) which appertained to the farm, by one of the owners of which it was probably originally built.
