"A single church below the hill;"
this is at the place to which the family had moved, and the church is
_Waltham Abbey church_. It is a fresh and strange locality, and the bells

memory can stray in the surrounding scenery;
"But all is new unhallow'd ground."
The Poet's mother lived for several years with her sister, Miss Fytche,
in Well Walk, Hampstead; but this new home was at _High Beach, Epping
Forest_.
