Wednesday March. 1st. Up at 5 oC. & by 6. at Fetter Lane. The
Coach started soon after, & we were fortunate in getting a day
without rain. We travelled very fast, – at full gallop the whole
way, yet we did not get to Fakenham till near nine. I never
travelled on so dreary & miserable a road in my life.
Cambridge was the only ####place that engaged my attention, but
from the narrowness of the streets I could obtain but a very im=
perfect view of it. King’s College Chapel however, & Bennet College
appeared to be very handsome buildings. The rest of the
journey from Cambridge to Brandon – was a wide waste –
#######marked only by the white road ^on which we travelled, ### the straightness
& uniformity of which quite fatigued the sight. At Swaffham
it grew ##### dark, — & I was glad enough to be set down.
at the Lion. ^Inn, Fakenham. This is, however, a miserable house offor accommo-
dation. There ##was only one private ^sitting room. Which was shared by
a Mr. Hart & myself. I went to bed soon afterwards.
