'In the parish is the barton of Bath, and famous for a pool which was usually dry in summer, but which " before the death of any great prince or other strange accident " would in the driest time become full of water, and so continue until the matter happened that, it thus foretold : so says Westcote, writing about 1630. The pool is on the left of the road from Bow to Okehampton.— Ibid., 217''
