Ringmer, near Lewes. I recieved your last favour just as I was setting out for this place; and am pleased to find that my monography met with your approbriation.' (quoting from Gilbert White)
White's aunt, Mrs. Rebecca Snooke, lived at Delves House on Ringmer Green. That house, now demolished, had a ha-ha but it is unlikely that this engraving shows the actual house.'
