TUNSTALL CHURCH.

White Water Lily, Nymphaea alba, the Yellow Water Lily, Nuphar lutea, and other aquatic plants.
  Tunstall church
On the right, a quarter of a mile from the village of Tunstall, stands a Church, a plain fabric of middle Gothic. The interior has lately been restored, and - with a painting, over the Communion Table, of the descent from the Cross, by an ancient Master, and the stained glass in the windows - is well worthy of notice. The subjects in the east window are, Christ delivering the Keys to St. Peter, and the Virgin and Child; in the west, St. George and the Dragon, and St. John the Baptist (to whom the Church is dedicated.)
  Over Burrow
A mile onward is OVERBOROUGH, or Burrow: its cottages overgrown with roses and woodbines; and the small garden plots in front, blooming with fragrant flowers, and verdant with laurels and rhododendrons.
  roman fort, Overborough
ROMAN STATION.- Immediately on passing Leck Beck, we arrive on 'classic ground,' - the site of the Bremetonacae of Antonine. Burrow Hall, a respectable mansion of the last century, is erected upon the Praetorium, but at this day no remains exist to tell 'where once the City stood.'
