Many  years  after,  Mr.  Barber,  who  will  long  be  remembered  in
Grasmere,  Mr.  Greenwood  (the  chief  landed  proprietor),  and
myself,  had  four  other  enclosures  made  in  the  churchyard  at  our
own  expense,  in  each  of  which  was  planted  a  tree  taken  from  its
neighbour,  and  they  all  stand  thriving  admirably,  the  fences
having  been  removed  as  no  longer  necessary.  May  the  trees  be
taken  care  of  hereafter,  when  we  are  all  gone;  and  some  of  them
will  perhaps,  at  some  far-distant  time,  rival  the  majesty  of  the
yew  of  Lorton,  and  those  which  I  have  described  as  growing  at
Borrowdale,  where  they  are  still  to  be  seen  in  grand  assem-
blage.
And  now  for  the  persons  that  are  selected  as  lying  in  the
churchyard.  But  first  for  the  individual  whose  grave  is  pre-
pared to  receive  him.
