Polwhele, Revd. Richard. The history of Devonshire. London: Cadell, Dilly & Murray, 1793-1806. Vol. II. p. 163.On the opposite hills of Oxton there are beauties, also, worthy the pencil of their possessor: but I have time only to notice a stately grove of holly, which is, here, uncommonly tall and spreading. Yet, amidst the intervening valley, we should remember the wandering of the stream and the still expanse of water gleaming beneath the trees, and the cascade that foams at the base of a high perpendicular rock. And this vale appears to great advantage from the house; whilst the Belvidere at distance seems to finish the whole.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
