Scope and Content
Maton, W. G. Observations relative chiefly to the natural history, picturesque scenery and antiquities of the western counties of England. Salisbury and London: J.Easton, 1797. p. 117.There are still some remains of the old abbey of Torr, now converted into out-houses, &. close to a modern mansion, the seat of Mr. Carey. The situation is charming, and I must confess I looked for a more striking object than the house as we rode through the fine avenue, shaded by aged elm and oak.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
