Sir , October 6 , 1821 WAS at Marden Park in June .-I and I have the satisfaction to inform your Correspondent N . L . T ., ( n 448 , ) that Firming Walk is still m existence , and bears his name : though it is not kept in very nice order . Also the pillar erected by Lady Clayton to
the memory of that excellent man remains in good preservation , and the inscription is still legible . Marden Park is on the left hand side of the road to Gods tone : it is a beautiful place ; and the summer-house on the top of the hill is conspicuous for many miles round . The mansion itself is in
a hollow , and is not seen at any great distance . The old part , built by Sir Robert Clayton , contains a great number of rooms ; but I could not learn that any of them bore the name of Firmin . Some very handsome modern
rooms have been added : and all together it forms a large , commodious , and , I may say , a stately mansion . The property is still vested in the Clayton family ; but they do not reside there . It was lately let to Mr . HatseH , the venerable Clerk of the House of
Commons , who died there about a year ago , at a very advanced age . It is now occupied by William Wilberforce , Esq ., the pious and benevolent Member for Bramber . Sir Robert and Lady Clayton are buried in Bletchingly Church , which is about four miles oflr , where a
very splendid monument is erected to their memory with an appropriate inscription , which pays a just tribute to their distinguished virtues . T . B .
