Iter VII

SUPPOSED ANCIENT ROAD FROM WORCESTER TO TENBURY, &c.

THIS supposed road probably went from Worcester*, through Oldbury, near Upper Broad Heath, in the parish of St. John, (thought to have been the Castra æstiva†, or summer quarters of the Roman garrison of Worcester); thence by Green Street Farm, in Hallow, through Wichenford; by Grimley, Holt, and Little Witley, to the Camp at Woodbury Hill, in Great Witley, and Cold Camp. It then either crossed the Teme at Stanford, and went along the south side of that river through Orleton, Eastham, and Rochford, to Tenbury; or continued from Great Witley along the northern side of the river, through Stockton, Pensax, Rock, Lindridge, and Knighton, to Tenbury. Both these lines were most probably used.

In the parish of ST. JOHN, in Bedwardine, otherwise Beodwardin, there are places called Ridgeway Meadow, Stan Field, Black Jack's Holet, The Eight Ridges, Oseby Meadow, The Yell, Oldbury, and Hogmore Hill. It is a question whether the proper authography of this latter place is not Ogmore, inasmuch as there are Ogmore Castle, Ogmor River, Ogmoor Down, Ogor, and Ogor River, in Glamorganshire; Ogwen River, in Carnar vonshire; Ogbury Ring§, the parish of Ogbourn St. George, or

Great Okeburn; and Ogbourne St. Andrews, or Little Okeburn, in the county of Wilts. These names may either be derived from the British word Ogo," which means a cave, or from Ogmius*, the Hercules of the Gauls. The Ogofau Mine, in Carmarthenshire, is supposed to have been worked by the Romans t.

To return to St. John's. In Chap. iv., Hoar Apple Tree" is mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon boundaries of Wyke ‡, near Doferic, (Doveridge), where the Teme joins the Severn; and "Hoar Ley," in the boundaries of Lawern. It is stated, in Heming's "Cartulary," p. 349, and in Nash's " History," Vol. ii., App., p. 46, that on the Anglo-Saxon boundaries of Clopton there were places called Wulfric's Mere, Ælfric's Mere, The Military Way §, Ceolan Way, and King's Thane Mere. The "Cartulary," in pp. 135, 349, also mentions" Old Street," on the Anglo-Saxon boundaries of Clopton; and in pp. 161, 349, "Port Street," on the boundaries of Lawern T. Nash says, that in " Domesday," Clopton (Cloptune) is stated to be held of the manor of Wyke, or Wiche. In Heming's "Cartulary," pp. 349, 350, both Clopton and Cotheridge are described as abutting upon Bridge-bourne Ford; Clopton upon-Lawern, and Teme; Cotheridge-upon-Teme, and Brainesford, or Bransford. I mention this, because the name Clopton is not now known by the inhabitants of the parish of St. John ; and

*There are Ogham Stones in the south of Ireland and in Wales, which are inscribed in the Ogham character, supposed to be Druidical. Some have said that they are so called from Ogham, the Hercules of the Gauls. See Lady Chatterton's work relative to these inscriptions, and also the " Journal of the Archæological Institute," Vol. iii., p. 175; Vol. vii., p. 409; and Vol. ix., pp. 116, 117. In the latter number it is said, "The designation Ogham Craobh, or branching type, had reference to the supposed resemblance of such inscription to a tree; the letters also, it is said, were named from trees, and the inscriptions were either on wooden tablets or on stones."
