Some two; some three; it's the dirtiest place that ever you see."

It was an ancient saying in the parish, and I believe the word tump is Somersetshire for heap.

A village in Essex, called Ugley, possesses the unfortunate saying:

"Ugly church, ugly steeple;

Ugly parson, ugly people."

The first line is literally true; to give an opinion on the second would descend too much into personalities.

METAQUO.

A particularly appropriate rhyme is that of

"Stow on the Wold (Would?)

Where the wind blows cold."
