I know, I've poured over maps of Gloucestershire looking for Bacon's
'estate on the Avon' claimed by
the Baconians. Stratford is what?
twenty or thirty miles from Gloucestershire,
Gloucestershire is maybe sixty miles
long? then you hang a left at the Severn
to Wilton which looks to be another
thirty or forty mile drive?

In any event, thanks for the correction,
we all need to be sticklers for fact.
