Fix this textGUY’S CLIFF.
Fix this text£“J.UY’S CLIFF is a short distance from Warwick, on the banks
Fix this textof the Avon. The name comes from Guy, the famous Earl
Fix this textof Warwick, who slew the Dun Cow and other monsters —feats
Fix this textof daring which have been honored with a place among the legends
Fix this textof England. When Guy returned from the Holy Land he lived
Fix this textthe life of a hermit in a little cave on the river some way below
Fix this textthe house, receiving every day alms from the Countess Felice, who
Fix this textnever recognised her husband through his strange disguise. But
Fix this textwhen he was dying he revealed himself to her, and when she died
Fix this textshe was buried by his side in the cave of Guy’s Cliff. Perhaps, in
Fix this textplaying the monk, Earl Guy was only following an old tradition ;
Fix this textfor, according to a high authority, Guy’s Cliff was a place of
Fix this textreligious retirement four or five centuries before the time of this
Fix this textEarl of Warwick, Guy’s Cliff was certainly famed for its beauties
Fix this textin early days; for when Henry V was at Warwick he went to visit
Fix this textit, and was so charmed with the scenery that he declared he would
Fix this textfound a chantry there, but he died too soon to carry out his inten-
Fix this texttion. The mansion, of irregular outline, is built of stone and
Fix this textfounded on the rock, indeed, some of the rooms in the basement
Fix this textare excavated. It dates from the eighteenth century. The chapel
Fix this texthas a fine tower; its lovely shrine is well preserved, and it contains
Fix this texta mutilated statue of Guy set up by the Earl of Warwick in the
Fix this textfifteenth century. In the reign of Henry VIII Leland speaks of
Fix this textGuy’s Cliff as “the abode of pleasure, a place meet for the Muses ;
Fix this textwith natural cavities in the rocks, shady groves, clear and crystal
Fix this textstreams, flowery meadows, mossy caves, a gentle murmuring river
Fix this textrunning among the rocks ; and, to crown all, solitude and quiet,
Fix this textfriendly in so a degree to the muses.”
