Ma on writes: “The site of the house is still to be by two low mounds, an old garden, and a large old identified cedar of Lebanon, on a fine gra y slope, crowned with trees, close behind Hare field Church, on the side of the road going from Uxbridge to Rick mans worth. The scenery is charming, the Colne flowing here through ground more hilly than that about Horton, and as richly wooded.” {Life of Milton 1. 600.) The place is but ten miles from Horton, and Milton may have visited it, but there is no proof of this. Verity thinks the reference to a “mount” in Arcades 55 in harmony with Ma on’s description. ch134.xhtml h 152
