Un ebook di  Hughes Charles  edito da Forgotten Books, 2017

Henry Willoughby. South of West Knoyle, and about seven miles away, is the town of Shaftesbury, which. Until the Reformation, was dominated by the great abbey round which it had grown. About the same distance to the south-west of West Knoyle is Wardour Castle, which in the time of Willobie was occupied, as it is to-day, by the noble family of Arundel. Sir Matthew Arundel, of Queen Elizabeth's reign, is the ancestor of the present Lord Arundel of Wardour. Four miles to the east of West Knoyle lies Hindon, formerly a rotten borough, for which Monk Lewis was once a member, and Disraeli once a candidate. Near this is Fonthill Park. The scene of Beckford's extravagance and folly, and in old times the property of the Marvyn family.
