RICKARD'S, or RICHARD'S-CASTLE, (Herefordshire) 3 m. from Wigmore, had the name from Richard Scrupe, who was its owner in
the R. of Edw. the Confessor; but it came afterwards to the Says, Mortimers, and the Talbots; from whom it went by
marriage to Guarin Archdeacon, and Matt. Gurnay. The castle, long ago decayed, was built on a very rocky hill; beneath
which is a little well, called Bonewell, being always full of small bones, like those of fish or frogs, tho' neither
species are found in it; and be it ever so often emptied or cleansed, it is soon as full of them as ever.
