Earlier this year I wrote about the use of the phrase 13 shire view. I connected an early 17th century poem in which it was mentioned, with late 18th century descriptions of the view from the column at Hawkstone Park -as ’13 county view’. And asked (myself, as it turned out)…
Two references to ‘thirteen-shire-views’, written almost 150 years apart, but found by me in a few weeks time: that can not be a coincidence. Is the 13-shire-view a theme in Britain?
