OKEOVER, (Staffordshire) on the Dove, near Blore, has a park, near the pale of which 1-quarter of a m. S. of the Ch. is a deep intrenchrnent, called the Hallsteds, supposed to have been a castellated mansion of the Cockayns, in the Barons wars; but the lows, or burrows, in Arbour-Close, 2 or 3 bow-shots N. W. of the Ch. are certainly Roman, and made not of earth, or gravel, but of stones. This manor has bel. a great while to a family of the same name; one of whom, in 1680, had growing in his orchards and gardens, 60 different sorts of apples, 20 sorts of pears, 16 sorts of cherries, 35 sorts of apricots and plumbs, and 7 sorts of nectarines and peaches.
