From The Warminster Herald, Saturday 1 June 1878:
Cox, in Magna Britannia, tells another wonder:- “In the year 1696 or thereabouts, it was a report in Bristol and thereabouts, that it rained wheat upon Warminster, and six or seven miles round, and many believed it. One Mr Cole, being curious to find out the truth of the odd phenomenon, procured several parcels of it and upon diligent examination of them by the magnifying glass, judged from the taste, figure, size, and smell, that they were ivy-berries, driven by a strong wind from the holes and chinks of houses, churches, and other buildings where starlings, or other birds, had laid, or dropped them. But if so, “tis strange that they should fall in so great quantities in so many places.”
