WOODHOUSE AS MENTIONED IN THE POEM BIDCOMB HILL

BY REVEREND SKURRAY OF HORNINGSHAM

Fain would the muse descent on ancient scenes

Which lie within circumference of view.

Some relics mock inquisitive research;

Their tale is perished on the scroll of time

Such Woodhouse Castle is.

The neighbouring lake reflects upon its Marge the ash and oak,

Which once reflected battlements and towers.

The bannered hall is carpeted with sward

Which once resounded with obstreperous mirth.

The mound and ditch no more secure retreat

Or mock the efforts of advancing foes

Silence and desolation reign supreme.

The antiquary treads the terraced height

Or sits amidst the ruins unconcerned

Whilst others mark vicissitude of state

And muse in thought upon the wreck of worlds.
