368. _House at Welling._--Every one who has travelled on the
carriage-road between London and Erith must have noticed at the end of
the village of Welling an old-looking house, with high garden walls, and
a _yew_ hedge about thrice the height of the walls. It is said that one
of our English poets once inhabited this house; but _who_? is a Query to
which no one seems able to give an answer. Perhaps some of your numerous
correspondents may have a Note on the subject, and would kindly furnish
it. It is said by some to have been Young, the author of the _Night
Thoughts_; but this again is denied by others.
