_Rhymes on Places_ (Vol. vii., p. 143.).--Northamptonshire:

"Armston on the hill,

Polebrook in the hole,

Ashton turns the mill,

Oundle burns the coal."

Repeated to me by poor old drunken Jem White the sexton, many years since,

when on the "battlements" of Oundle Church; Oundle being the market town

for the three villages in the rhymes quoted.
