Horton,
England: "The parish of Horton (Hortune, xi cent.)
contains an area of 1366 acres.
There are 803 acres of arable land and 580 of permanent grass, but no
woodland.
The slope of the land is almost uniformly from 57 ft. to 67 ft. above
the
ordnance datum, and the maximum height attained is 80 ft. in the
extreme
north of the parish. The soil is loam, the subsoil gravel, and the
chief
crops are wheat, oats, barley and roots. Horton is well watered by
various
small feeders of the Rivers Thames and Colne. The Colne separates it on
the
east from the county of Middlesex. The village of Horton occupies a
central
position in the parish. A large elm tree stands on the village green at
a
point where the roads converge. There is a tradition that it was
planted
to commemorate the death of a child belonging to the Crown Inn
opposite,
who was accidently killed by the fall of the maypole on this spot."
