GODSTOW, (Oxfordshire) stands on the N. W. side of Oxford, in a sort of island formed by the divided streams of the Isis,
after being joined by the Evenlode, and is a famous place for catching of fish and dressing them. Here are the ruins of
that nunnery which fair Rosamond quitted for the embraces of Henry II. Her picture is to be seen against the wall, and the
people shew a great hole in the earth here, where, they say, is a subterraneous passage, which goes under the river to
Woodstock, by which she used to pass and repass. She was buried in the choir of the Ch. here.
