Abstract
LATELY at Leighton Buzzard, I saw an old book, “E. Bowen's Complete System of Geography, 1743,” in which some account is given of the growth and preparation of woad in Bedfordshire. There is a Woad Farm at Lathbury Bridge, near the confluence of the river Lovat, or Ouzel, with the Ouse, at Newport Pagnell, Bucks, and commented upon in the Bucks Standard, November 8. The author [name not given], after referring to the more ancient growth of woad, gives it as his opinion that, “this once largely used herb was grown on this farm at a later period, and hence its name.”
