'The Abbey Gateway, Malvern; The Abbey, Malvern; The Guesten Hall, Worcester; The Despenser [sic] Tombs, Tewkesbury; Eastnor Castle; Leckhampton Church; Little Malvern Church...The village or hamlet of Leckhampton, near Cheltenham, is remarkable for its situation on the slope of the Cotswold Hills, and for its ancient church and manor-house. The Despencer family, who acquired much power and wealth by Court favour in the reign of Edward II., were Lords of Leckhampton. They possessed also the lordship of Tewkesbury, and their tombs are shown in Tewkesbury Abbey Church...Eastnor Castle, near Ledbury, just over the Herefordshire border, is the seat of Earl Somers, who also bears the title of Viscount Eastnor. It is a mansion of very imposing exterior, built in the present century from the design of Smirke'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
