I went to Woodcote, near Shrewsbury on a visit to Rev W Wingate. Left Banbury at 12.17. Montagu went by same train to Shrewsbury, so we travelled together.

Wingate, with his horse and dog cart met me at the Railway Station. We drove out to Woodcote and dined. In the evening Mr and Mrs Wingate and self walked to the “Quarries”, a sort of public park and recreation ground quite worth seeing, the avenues of elms(?) being very fine. The town is gaily decorated for the Royal Agricultural Show which is opened here today.
