  • 1830

Journal, 1830 (watermark [18]28), of a tour primarily of Pembrokeshire, the Lake District and Edinburgh by an un-named Cornishman, in the company of his niece Anne Kendall of Lostwithiel.
The volume begins with a retrospective recounting of the journey from Lostwithiel, Cornwall, to Bath, Somerset, 5-29 [recte 10] April 1830 (ff. 1-4 verso). The journal proper begins in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, on 7 July (f. 11) and continues with excursions and tours to Pembroke, Haverfordwest, Solva, St Davids and elsewhere within the county, 7-26 July (ff. 11-62 verso), followed by the journey through parts of mid and north Wales and north west England, 27 July-5 August (ff. 63-65 verso), the Lake District, 5-8 August (ff. 65 verso-70), and the Southern Uplands of Scotland, 9-12 August (ff. 71-76), ending in Edinburgh and its environs, 12-30 August (ff. 76-91 verso). The journal includes descriptions of the Stackpole, Orielton, Slebech and Picton Castle estates (ff. 14-15 verso, 19-20, 22-23, 25 recto-verso, 26-27 verso), St Mary's Church, Haverfordwest (ff. 29 verso-33), and the Bishop's Palace and Cathedral at St Davids (ff. 42 verso-50) and an eyewitness account of the launch of the frigate HMS Seahorse at Pembroke on 21 July (ff. 57 verso-58 verso). The writer is presumably one of Anne Kendall's four uncles then living, namely the Rev. Francis John Hext (1779-1842), Captain William Hext (1780-1866), James Cotes Kendall (1770-1836) or the Rev. Nicholas Kendall (1781-1844).
