The tributary whose source is north of Dunmow and which enters the Thames east of Brentwood would seem t. be the Chelmer, Wid and Mar Dyke wrongly connected t. form one river. The tributary on which Bishop's Stortford stands seems t. be a combination of the Stort and the Roding. The next westwards on the north bank is the Lea which runs through Ware with its own tributary the Rib which passes near Barkway. The Brent is identified from Brentford; the Colne from its junction with the Thames at Colnbrook; the Wye from High Wycombe; the Thame from Thame; the Evenlode from Woodstock; and the Windrush from Burford. On the right bank the tributary joining the Thames at Cricklade is probably the Swill Brook. The Kennet is named but the branch which joins it at Newbury is the Lambourn. The tributary joining the Thames at Reading is probably the Loddon, Basingstoke being sited on the wrong bank. East of Windsor the Wey is shown passing through Guildford; and the Mole with Cobham and Dorking on its banks. The tributary between Cobham and Kingston is probably the Hogswill river, and that from Croydon t. London the Wandle. East of the Wandle is probably the Ravensbourne and finally the Darent upon which stands Dartford (Parsons). |
