Wandering English Towns From Chester To Warwick
A travelogue from Warwick England April 19 recounts impressions of Chester Lichfield and Warwick. The writer notes modernization of Chester with new shops and buses, preserved cathedrals and monuments, Gladstone connections at Hawarden, and the evolution of old walls into streets. In Lichfield Samuel Johnson ties loom large with a statue and Johnson house. Warwick features Warwick Castle with ancient walls, emblems, a vast hall, and art treasures. Chatsworth and Haddon Hall are paralleled as great English residences. The piece blends historical sites, architecture, and notable figures in a nostalgic survey of old England.
