Sunday April 10th I met a company at
Colwall at Jonothan Lucy's at 9 o'clock in the morning
and baptized seven two of whom were preachers. I
confirmed 12 and then preached at brother Lucy's dined
at Mr Holmes then walked over the top and across
Malvern Hill and preached at the Pale Horse thence back
again and preached at Benjamin Holland's on the North
side and from there to colwall where I stayed for the night

I extract from my Journal April 11th

A Visit
On The Herfordshire Beacon
South of Malvern Hill.

Having my mind prepared for a lonely walk
and meditation by reading Parley P. Pratt's Book upon
the "Eternal Duration of matter I commenced ascending theis
famed hill upon the south side and after ascending several
hundred feet I came to the top of an ancient entrenchment
about a mile in length reaching around all this part
of the Hill and meeting. Having ascended about one
hundred feet farther I entered another entrenchment like
the one below and after that another; and thus entrenchment
after entrenchment above each other until I reached
the top of the Hill which was nearly a flat or level surface
of circular shape and not more than from one to two
acres in size. Thus I stood upon this Beacon of
Hertfordsire more than a thousand feet in height surveying
the surrounding county from which I could fairly gaze
upon the tiers of entrenchments below me thrown up for
war nearly [blank space] in the times of the Romans
being their military defences and capable of holding hundreds
of thousands of fighting men. These hills are altogether bare
of timber but covered with grass which is grazed by
sheep and asses. Several acres on the S. W. side is
covered with rabbit burrows from which you could see
