To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If disposed to follow old Shenstone's habit to find a welcome in an inn, the " Coffee Pot " Tavern opens its doors on one hand or the " Pack Horse " on the other. If, however, neither of these places offers any temptation to linger, a further walk of two miles brings the wayfarer to Grafton Regis. On climbing the hill to the little place, it will doubtless be recalled that England's kings and queens have oft-time travelled over this road —gay young Edward IV. , Richard III. , and their Queens, ...Henry VIII. With Ann Boleyn, Queen Elizabeth, James I. , each at one time or another made it his or her business or pleasure to visit the stately manor house of Grafton Regis. The high road runs northwards through the hamlet to Northampton. On the right hand there will be observed a roofless burnt-out dwelling-place. This was long the home of the " Grafton " picture and of the last of the Smiths of Grafton Regis, its former owners. By passing down the second lane that branches to the right and by the modern 49 GRAFTON REGIS village school, the cottage post-office and another quaint building or two, the traveller reaches the manor-house, the church, and the rectory, and it is around the manor-house that many historical associations gather.
