About Our Old Home by Nathaniel Hawthorne:
Our old home was written by Nathaniel Hawthorne when he was appointed as a consul in England. So, there was a small place in Leamington, which was one of the cosiest nooks in England acc. to the author, people of that place seemed somewhat troubled with outside activities of that place. The place also had a Chalybeate well, nowadays its waters aren't tasted but it continues to be a resort for the temporary visitors of Leamington. The author's chief enjoyment laid in the rural walks, he marked it to be amongst the best places of Leamington. In the path, hedges, trees, etc. could be found. It could drive anyone into the heart of rural life. It was made by the aboriginals, i.e the first people who lived there. Author mentions about lillington whiwhich consisted of houses arranged like honeycombs, it was a pretty scene. Nature beuatifies the scene more by contributing flowers. There was a church and a churchyard where the rooms were quiet and sacred. A grave stone placed there, was very old and decayed. Although the climate was not that great, nature had a lovely deal as; in a grave, it looked as if nature embossed inscription as the grave was filled with mosses(personification). Near Warwick there was a castle gate and also king cymbaline's gateways where a church seems to be communicating with a building beside it. The building was made with plaster and timber, it looks old but is perfect. There were 2 old men who had got badges from the earl of Leicester. Soon, goes to his birthplace and sees his marble statue and also describes a story about Dr. Johnson's penance in Uttoxeter.
Hope its helpful.
