In the morning, it being wet, I concluded to stay another day. In the forenoon I took a walk with Mr Hill to visit a patient. Came back and dined with Mr and Mrs Hill on some pork bones boiled and greens.
In the afternoon we took a walk to see Mereworth Place and Church, the first the seat of the I think late earls of Westmoreland, but now Lord de Spencer’s, and the seat as beautiful a little seat as I ever saw, there being and great deal of extreme good painting, some very fine marble and everything of ornament very noble. The church is modern built and excessively handsome, but small. We came back to Yalden where I supped with Mr Hill and stayed all night. Gave the servant who showed the place 12d, Mr Hill paying the person who showed us the church. We spent about 7d each at the public house.
