It is much larger than he at first thought with apparently substantial buildings. Mentions the coin of Constantine which was found at Imber, ancient chapel, now fallen, the house called 'The Chantry' and the parish church and site of the village between Tilshead and Imber called Chapperton or Chappelton, traditionally 'a large town'.
