_House at Welling_ (Vol. v., p. 368.).--Inquiry is made about one of our
old English poets, who is said to have lived at the old house in
_Welling_, where there is a _high yew hedge_.
I am the owner of the house referred to, and have lived here since 1811.
I have never heard the report, but I think that it may have arisen from
the fact, that about eighty years ago a Major _Denham_ possessed the
house. It is possible that he may have been mistaken for his namesake,
_Denham_ the poet.
