WOTHORP, (Northamptonshire) near Burghley, is another seat of the Earl of Exeter, with a little park walled about. The D. of Buckingham and his family lived in it some years, after the Restoration, so that it is far from being a little house; yet Tho. Cecil, the first Earl of Exeter of this family, who built it, thought it so inferior to the other, that he pleasantly said " that he built it only " to retire to out of the dust, while " his great house at Burleigh was " sweeping."
