Mamble, a parish in the lower division of the
hundred of Doddingtree, county of Worcester, 6 miles west
southwest of Bewdley... with... Bayton, in the archdeaconry of
Salop, and diocese of Hereford... Sodington, the ancient
seat of the BLOUNTS, was destroyed by fire in the great civil
war, by some troops of the parliament. What remained of it was
taken down in 1807, when several curious Roman relics were discovered
beneath the foundations, whence it seems probable that it was
anciently the site of a Roman fort.
