HENTON ST. GEORGE, (Somerset) 2 m. from Crewkern, stands on a high plain, from whence in a clear day there is a prospect
of both seas. Here is a park, with fine plantations and gardens made by the late Earl Poulet, to whose family this Lp.
came by the marriage of their ancestor, Sir Will. Poulet, with Elizabeth the daughter and heiress of John Dewriband of
this place, which Sir William was the father of Sir Amias Poulet, who being a justice of peace in the R. of Hen. VIII. put
cardinal Wolsey, then but a schoolmaster, in the stocks.
