PREFACE. 


The  excellence  of  the  Roads  through  every  part  of  Great 
Britain  has^  within  a  few  years^  rendered  tlie  Traveller  an  easy 
taskj  and  the  publication  of  so  many  Tours  has  contributed  to 
extend  our  local  knowledge^  not  only  by  describing  the  situa- 
tion of  places^  and  their  distances  from  each  other,  but  by 
pointing  out  whatever  is  worthy  of  observation,  either  ia 
Nature  or  in  Art. 

There  yet,  however,  seemed  to  be  wanting  a  Compendium 
of  Topography ;  an  Itinerary,  comprehending  as  well  what  is 
amusing  and  instructive,  as  what  is  necessary  and  useful. 

The  names  of  Cities,  Towns,  and  principal  Seats,  together 
with  the  respective  distances  from  each,  have  been  often  pre- 
sented to  the  Public  j  but  the  design  of  the  present  compila- 
tion is  to  convey,  in  a  concise  manner,  some  knowledge  of  the 
ancient  and  present  state  of  particular  places  through  which  the 
Traveller  passes,  without  entering  into  dry  details  or  tedious 
digressions. 

Besides  the  result  of  his  own  observations,  the  Compiler  has 

referred  to  the  Works  of  several  popular  Writers,  from  which 

many  passages  have  been  extracted,  which  might  contribute, 

within  such  narrow  limits^  to  illustrate  the  Topography,  or  to 

interest  the' Traveller;

PREFACE. 

Those  who  travel  upon  business^  who  make  periodical  visits 
to  watering-places^  ramble  into  Wales,  visit  the  Lakes,  or  tra- 
verse the  less  cultivated  tracts  of  the  North,  will  find  their  time 
agreeably  beguiled,  by  making  tliis  little  Volume  the  com- 
panion of  their  Travels. 


In  this  edition,  the  reader  will  remark  a  variety  of  additions 
and  improvements.  In  every  Route^  it  will  be  observed^  that 
the  distances  are  marked  both  to  and  from  every  place— -as,  in 
page  95^  the  distances  of  each  place  from  London  to  Port-Pa- 
trick, and  from  Port-Patrick  to  London  are  given)  that  the 
Traveller  may  find  a  ready  account  of  the  distances,  from  whatr 
ever  point  his  journey  may  commence. 

The  communication  between  Great  Britain  and  Ireland,  par- 
ticularly since  the  union  of  the  two  kingdoms,  is  become  so 
frequent,  that  an  account  of  the  great  Roads  of  Ireland,  which 
is  inserted  in  this  edition,  wiU  render  it  yet  more  useful  and 
complete.  The  Routes  to  Paris,  the  Table  of  the  Times  of 
High  Water,  and  a  copious  Index  of  Places  and  Seats,  will 
contribute  to .  the  further  information  and  amusement  of  th& 
Traveller.

upon  an  eminence,  6n  the  river 
Coin,  which  is  navigable  within  a  , 
mile  of  the  town.  The  town  was  , 
formerly  surrounded  by  a  wall,

p./Sterns ;  but  they  are  now  demo- 
lished. It  had  sixteen  parish 
churches,  of  which  only  twelve

them  were  much  damaged  in 
1648,  when  the  town  surrendered 
to  the  army  of  the  parliament, 
afier  a  remarkable  siege,  in  which 
the  inhabitants  suffered  all  the 
extiemities  of  famine.  There  is 
a  large  manufactory  of  ba/s,  and 
it  is  famous  for  oysters.  The 
castle  is  v^ry  ancient,  in  which,  it 
is  said,  the  emperor  Constantine 
was  born  ;  it  is  now  much  dila- 
pidated. Within  the  castle  is  a 
library,  which  was  established  in 
1631,  by  Dr.  Harsnett,  archbishop 
of  York;  to  which  several  ad- 
ditions have  been  since  mad4. 
Colchester  is  supposed  to  have

favourite  general  of  Henry  VII. 
entertained  his  royal  master  in  a 
magnificent  manner,  and  who,  at 
the  departure  of  the  king,  ordered 
all  his  retainers,  with  their  liverie 
and  badges,  to  be  drawn  up  in 
two  lines,  that  their  appearance 
might  be  the  more  gallant  and 
splendid.  ''  My  lord,"  said  the 
king,  "  I  have  heard  much  of 
your  hospitaljry,  I)Lit  the  truth  far 
exceeds  the  report.  These  men 
so  well  dressed  on  both  sides  of 
me  are,  no  dcubi,  your  menia

to  do  me  service  at  this  time 
when  they  know  I  am  honoured 
with  your  highnes^'s  presence." 
The  king  startled,  and  said,  "  By 
my  faith,  my  lord,  I  thank  you 
for  your  good  cheer,  but  I  must 
not  allow  my  laws  to  be  broktn

of  Henry  Hare  Townsend,  esq.  It 
is  paitly  ancient  and  partly  modern. 
In  the  house  is  a  deep  well,  over 
which  is  an  ancient  biick  tovrer, 
the  upper  part  of  which  serves  as  a 
dairy.  In  this  parish  is  Mount-

Townsend.  The  church  is  seated 
on  an  eminence  j  over  the  porch  of 
which  is  an  apartment,  where  tht- 
parish  business  was  formerly  trans- 
acted. It  was  inhabited  by  Eliza-

who  had  lived  in  it  more  than  sixty 
years,  and,  according  to  her  own 
account,  passed  her  hundredth  year

been  a   cross.     It    was  formerly  a 
column  of  wood  ra!.s':d  upon  a  lit-

a  market  town,  once  famous  for 
its  neighbouring  chase,  a  large 
tract  of  woodland,  filled  with 
deer.  It  is  a  property  annexed  to 
the  ciuchy  of  Lancaster,  When 
king  James  resided  at  Theobalds, 
this  chase  was  well  stocked  with 
deer  ;  but  in  the  civil  wars  it  was 
tripped  of  the  game  and  timber, 
and  let  out  in  faiiTis.  At  the  Res- 
toration it  was  again  laid  open, 
woods  were  planted,  and  the  chase 
was  again  stocked  with  dterj  but, 
by  an  ace  of  parliament,  in  1779, 
it  was  disforested.  In  this  town, 
opposite. to  the  church,  was  an  an-

founded  during  the  heptarchy.  It 
-ontains  twelve  colleges  and  four 
halls,  which  have  equal  priviL-ges 
with  the  colleges.  The  colleges 
:;re,  Peter- house,  Corpus  Chiisti 
)r  Bennet,  King's, Queen's,  Jesus, 
Chiist's,  St.  John's,  Magdalen, 
Caius,  Trinity,  Emanuel,  and  Sid- 
ney Sussex.  The  halls  are,  Clare, 
Pembroke,  Trinity,  and  Catharine. 
Of  the  colleges,  Peter -house  is  the 
most  ancient,  being  founded  in 
1257,  and  King's  and  Trinity  the 
most  considerable.  King's  college 
is  the  noblest ~  foundation  in  Eu- 
rope ;  and  the  chapel  one  of  the 
finest  pieces  of  Gjthic  architecture 
in  the  world.  The  libr.iry,  chapel, 
&c.  of  Trinity-college,  are  worthy 
obse'/vation.  The  other  structures 
belonging  to  the  university  are  the 
senate-house,  a  fine  edifice,  which 
with  St.  Mary's  church,  th- 
schools^'the  university  library,  and

*  WALSINGHAM 5 

A  market- town,  famous  for  the 
ruins  of  a  monastery,  which  had  a 
shrine  much  frequented.  The 
present  remains  ot  this  edifice  are 
a  handsome  west  gate,  a  lofty 
beautiful  arch,  the  refectory,  now 
a  barn,  with  a  handsome  east  win- 
dow, and  stone  pulpit,  twelve  arches 
of  the  old  cloisters,  the  abbey  wall, 
mile  in  circuit,  and  two  unco- 
vered wells.  The  banks  near  the 
town  are  supposed  to  have  been 
he  burial  place  of  some  Danes 
and  Saxons.  Spelman  reports  that 
Henry  VIII.  went  once  barefoot  to 
this  monastery  from  Balsham,  and 
carried  a  rich  necklace  as  a  pre- 
sent to  the  lady  of  Walsingham. 
This  place  was  also  visited  by

the  reign  of  king  Stephen,  which 
made  great  resistance  for  king

It  suffered  rmuch  in  the  ravages  of 
che  Danes ;  but  under  the  Nor 
mans  it  revived.  In  the  time  of 
ic.ng  Stephen,  its  cathedral,  with 
several  religious  houses,  was  burn 
down  by  an  accidental,  fire,  and 
was  not  begun  to  be  rebuilt  till 
1227,  and  was  finished  in  1426, 
being  two  hundred  years  in  com- 
pietin^g.;  and  such  care  wss  taken 
in  the  erection  of  it,  that  it  seems 
to  be  one  entire  edifice,,  though 
composed  of  five  different  style 
)f  architecture.  The  cho.T-  is 
remarkable  for  its  fine  carving, 
The  case  window  was  glazed  in 
1405,  and  is  exquisitely  painted. 
A.  library  was  given  to  this  church, 
in  the  last  century,  by  the  widow 
of  archbishop  Matthews.  In  the 
reign  of  Richard  I.  here  was  a 
horrid  massacre  of  the  Jews. 
Henry  III,  had  two  interviews 
herewith  Alexander  II.  king  of 
Scotland.  A  treaty  of  peace  was 
afterwards  concluded  between 
them ;  and  his  son,  Alexander 
III.  was  here  married  to  king 
Henry's  daughter,  lady  Margaret  3 
at  which  wedding  there  was  a 
grand  feast.  Parliaments  were 
held,  here  in  the  reigns  of  £d 
wards  I,  and  II.  and  by  com- 
mand of  the  latter,  their  acts  here 
were  first  called  statute^.  It  was 
in  later  times  visited  by  the  kings, 
and  was  freq^ueptly  the  residence 
of  nobles.  ]^ear' the  minster  is  a 
house  formerly  the  archbishop's 
palace,  now  converted  into  a  play- 
house. Its  members  may  claim  a 
seat  in  the  house  of  com.mons  next 
to  the  cirizens  of  London,  It  has 
a-  strong  stone  bridge  over  the 
Ouse,  much  admired  for  its  archi- 
tecture. Upon  this  bridge  are  the 
great  cotapcil-chanaber,  the  courts

is  a  pleasant,  heakhy,  large  city,

is  about  seventy  years  older  than 
the  Norman  conquest,  and  an  epis 
copal  see  was  erected  here  in  995. 
It  is  governed  by  a  corp;)4ation,

holds  by  barony,  and  is  sheriff

stands  at  the  end  of  the  Picts' 
Wall,  on  the  north  side  of  th?

been  a  Roman  station,  though  no

at  Pandon-gate,  the  superstructure 
,of  which  is  of  di^'^-.it  work-

in  the  town,  the  arches  being  cir- 
cular. The  carpenter's  tower  is 
also  of  Roman  original.  In  thft 
time  of  the  Saxons  it  was  called 
Moncaster,  from  the  monks,  who 
fled  from  hence  when  it  was  laid 
waste  by  the  Danes  ;  it  was  after-

a  large  town,  with  a  spacious 
market-place,  governed  by  a  cor- 
poration.  This  place  has  been 
particularly  fatal  to  the  kings  of 
Scotland.  In  the  reign  of  king 
William  IL  it  was  besieged  by 
Malcolm  II.;  and  the  castle,  then 
the  strongest  in  these  parts,  1093, 
was  about  to  surrender,  when  a 
soldier  stabbed  him  with  a  spear 
pretending  to  deliver  him  the  keys 
un  its  point ;  and  his  son  Edward, 
on  endeavouring  to  revenge  his 
death,  v,  as  here  slain,  and  his 
array  routed.  This  town  is  also 
famous  for  a  victory  obtained  by

to  ihave  beea  as  fine  a  palace,  as  it 
was  a  fortress  for  strength  artid  de-

been  walled,  the  vestiges  of  which 
may  be  traced,  and  three  gates  yet

An  ancient  city,  said  to  have  been 
founded  by  Luil,  a  petty  king  ofj 
the  county, Jong  before  the  Romansj 
came  into  this  island.  They  had 
a  station  here,  but  after  their  de- 
parture it  was  luinedby  the  Cale- 
donians, Sec.  In  680,  Egfrid,  king 
of  Northumberland,  rebuilt  and 
walled  it  round.  It  was  again  so 
shattered  by  the  Danes  and  Nor- 
wegians, in  the  eighth  and  ninth 
centuries,  that  it  lay  in  ruins  for 
about  200  years,  till  William 
Rufus  ordered  the  wall  and  castle 
to  be  repaired  in  1093.  Heniyl.

was  held  here   by  the   archbishop 
of  Canterbury.    Edward  I.  erected 
a  cross    here,  in    memory    of  his 
queen  Eleanor.     Here  several  of

famous  for  the  palace  of  the 
duke  of  Sedford  on  the  r.  when- 
stood  Wobura-abbey,  founded  in 
1145.  The  church  belonged  to 
the  abbey,  and  the  chapel  is  sepa- 
rated from  the  church.  The  pulpit 
s  a  piece  of  Gothic  carving,  and 
belonged  to  the  churchy  as  chapel 
to  the  ancient  abbey.  Here  are 
so  some  ancient  monuments. 
The  abbey  was  built  in  1145, 
and  its  last  abbot  was  hang,ed  at 
Woburn  in  March,  1547.  Near 
this  place  are  dug  great  quantities 
of  Fuiler's-earth,  useful  in  the 
manufactories  of  cloth.  The 
duke's  house  is  situated  in  a  fine 
large  park,  encompassed  by  a 
wall.  It  has  many  noble  rooms  in 
it,  particularly  a  long  gallery,  fur- 
nished with  fine  pictures.  Upon 
the  whole,  it  is  a  princely  resid- 
ence, and  worthy  of  its  patriotic 
owner,  who  (in  imitation  of  the 
late  lamented  duke)  so  laudably 
employs  his  time  for  the  benefit 
of  his  country  in  the  most  exten 
sive  pursuits  of  husbandly.  George,

within  its  walls,  and  two  without. 
It  was  laid  in  ashes  by  the  Danes 
in  1010,  and  again  destroyed  by  a 
f:re  in  1675.  Its  regular  spacious 
market-place  is  one  of  the  finest 
in  Europe.  The  streets  are  clean 
and  well  payed,  and  the  houses 
are  built  of  a  red-coloured  stone. 
The  church  of  the  holy  sepulchre

rebellion  here  against  king  -Henry 
III.  who  took  it  by  assault ;  an(| 
it  has  often  suffered  by  war.  Som^ 
discontented  scholars  came  hithe 
from  Oxford  and  Cambridge  about

On  the  north  side  of  the  river, 
near  Queen's-cross,  many  Roman

on^the  Roman  military  highway, 
called  the  Fosse,  where  Roman 
medals,  and  other  anti- 
quities, have  often  been  disco- 
vered. In  the  Saxon  heptarchy, 
when  it  was  -the  chief  city  of  the 
Mercian  kingdom,  it  was  the  see 
of  a  bishop,  which  being  removed 
after  a  succession  of  eight  prelates, 
t  fell  to  decay;  but  in-  914  it 
was  repaired,  and  fortified  with 
new  wails.  It  afterwards  became 
a  wieakby  town,  and  had  thirty- 
two  parish  churches  ;  but,  in  the 
time  of  Henry  II.  it  was  besieged 
and  taken,  the  castle  dismantled, 
and  the  walls  thrown  down.  A  par- 
liament was  held  here  in  the  reign 
of  Heniy  V.in  which  the  first  law 
was  made  for  burning  heretics.  It 
s  governed  by  a  corporalioh,  and 
eturns  two  members  to  parliament. 
In  the  High-street  there  once 
stood  an  excellent  piece  of  work- 
manship, in  the  form  of  a  cross. 
Here  are  now  six  parishes  and  five 
churches,  and  a  hospital  that  was 
built  here  for  100  poor  sick  men 
and  women,  by  Henry,  the  first 
duke  of  Lancaster,  who  was  inter- 
ed  in  it.  It  was  rebuilt  in  1776. 
Here  is  also  a  venerable  edifice, 
built  in  the  reign  of  Henry  VIII. 
for  twenty-four  men  and  women, 
which  has  a  chapel  and  a  library. 
Here  is  a  considerable  manufacture 
of  stockings.  Before  the  castU

duke  of  Lancaster  being  held  in  it, 
who  added  tsventy-six  acres  to  it, 
which  he  enclosed  with  , a  high 
«'all,  and  called  it  his  Novum  Opus, 
now  the  Neivark.  Its  hall  and 
kitchen  arc  still  entire,  the  former 

f  which  is  lofty  and  spacious. 
One  of  its  gateways  has  a  curious 
arch.  In  the  neighbouring  rnea- 
dow  was  that  famous  monasteiy, 
called,  from  its  situation,  St.  Mary 
de  Praris,  or  Prez,  since  turned 
into  a  dwelling-house  and  garden, 
where  is  a  pleasant  terrace,  sup- 
ported by  an  embattled  wall.  Here 
died  cardinal  Wolsey.  St.  Marga- 
ret's church  is  a  noble  structure. 
King  Richard  the  Third,  who  was 
killed  in  the  battle  of  Bos  worth, 
was  interred  in  the  church  called 
the  Grey  Friars,  suppressed  by 
Henry  VIII.  which  stood  near  St. 
Martin's  church  j  and  his  coffin, 
which  was  destroyed  in  the  begin- 
ning of  the  last  century,  was  con- 
verted into  a  trough  for  horses  to 
drink,  at  the  White  Horse  inn 
here.  Travellers  usually  stop  «ear 
All-Saints  church  to  see  a  curious 
piece  of  antiquity  that  was  form- 
erly dug  out  of  a  cellar  there 
supposed  to  be  the  fable  of  Diana 
and  Actaeon,  wrought  in  a  pile  of 
Httle  stones.  There  is  an  old  wall 
here,  called  Jewry-wall,  where,  it 
is  said  by  the  vulgar,  that  the 
pagans  used  to  offer  up  their  child 
ren  to  Moloch.  It  is  composed  of 
rag-stone  and  Roman  brick  ;  and 
near  it  is  a  place  called  Holy 
bones,  where  have  been  dug  up 
the  bones  of  many  oxen,  supposed 
to  have  been  sacrificed  there.  The 
steeple  of  St.. Mary's  church  was 
dennolished  by  a  storm  in  1763,  and

borough.  The  Danes  had  their 
head-quuters  here,  but  were  put 
to  the  sword  by  Ethelfleda,  at  the 
head  of  the  Mercians.  It  was  for- 
merly encompassed  by  a  wall,  and 
at  the  south-east  extremity  of  it 
there  was  a  castle,  of  which  there 
is  now  no  vestige  but  Cow-castle-

all  his  boats,  and  a  great  body  of 
water,  which  serves  as  a  reservoir 
to  his  navigation.  The  canal  runs 
through  a  hill  by  a  subterraneous 
passage  cut  through  the  solid  rocks, 
and  in  some  parts  arched  with 
brick.  Air-funnels,  some  of  which 
re  thirty-seven  yards  perpendicu- 
lar, are  cut,  at  certain  distances^ 
through  the  rock  to  the  top  of  th^ 
hill.  T?he  canal  is,  in  some  places! 
raised  over  public  roads,  by  means, 
o(  arches,  and  it  passes  over  thd 
navigable  river  Irwell,  near  fifty 
feet  above  it.  It  is  a  patriotic 
work,  worthy  of  tlje  noble  and  in 
genious  duke  who  proposed  and 
executed  it.  :i

s,  joined  with  Litchfield,  a  bi- 
;hopric,  and  was  formerly  one  of 
tsclf.  Here  was  a  rich  convent, 
destroyed  by  the  Danes  in  1016^ 
om  whence  the  city  is  supposed 
to  have  taken  iis  name.  Ir  was 
rebuilt  by  Leofric,  earl  of  Mercia. 
There  is  a  tradition  believed  here, 
that  having  been  heavily  taxed  by 
Leofric,  for  some  offence  the' clti- 
xens  had  given  him,  his  wife 
Godiva,  the  daughter  of  Thorold, 
sheriff  of  Lincolnshire,  impor- 
tuned him  to  remit  it  theni;,  and 
lo  free  the  citizens  from  all  servile 
tenures,  but  could  not  prevail  on 
;um,  unless  she  would  consent  to 
;ide  naked  thiough  the  most  fre 
jucnted  part  of  the  city.  After 
having  ordered  all  the  doors  and 
vvindows  to  be  closed,  upon  pain 
jf  death,  she  rode  through  the 
streets  on  horseback,  naked,  with 
her  hair  loose  about  her,  which 
was  so  long,  that  it  covered  all  her 
body  but  her  legs.  Camden  says 
that  nobody  looked  after  her^ 
but  it  is  also  said,  that  a  poor 
;aylor  would  peep,  and  that  he 
was  struck  blind.  His  figure  is

vived  an  annual  procession  through 
the  town  on  Friday  after  Trinity- 
Sunday,  with  a  figure  of  a  nakeo 
woman  on  horseback.  To  rendei 
this  ceremony  more  absurd  and 
impious,  the  corporation  of  the 
city  sttend  the  woman  to  the 
church,  where  a  sermon  is  preach- 
ed. The  woman  wears  a  thin 
dress  fitted  to  the  shape,  l^t 
city  received  many  privileges  from 
different  kings  5  and  Henry  VI. 
made  it  a  county,  independent  of 
Warwickshire,  Edward  thelVth 
took  the  sword  from  the  mayor, 
and  disfranchised  the  city  for  dis- 
loyalty, which  the  citizens  re- 
deemed, upon  payment  of  50C 
marks.  The  king  was  afterwards 
reconciled,  and  kept  St.  George's 
feast  here,  and  stood  godfather  to 
the  mayor's  child.  After  the  re- 
storation, the  walls,  which  were 
three  miles  in  compass,  with 
twenty- six  towers,  were  demo- 
shed,  and  only  the  gates  left  stand- 
ing, whii.h  were  twelve,  and  very 
noble  and  beautiful.  A  parliament 
was  held  here,  in  the  reign  of  Henry 
IV.  called  the  "  unlearned  par- 
liament," because  the  lawyers 
were  excluded;  and  another  in 
the  reign  of  Henry  VI.  called  the 
devil's  parliament,"  from  the 
attainders  of  the  duke  of  York, 
the  earls  of  Salisbury,  Warwick, 
and  March,  and  their -adherents. 
This  was  one  of  the  places  of  con- 
finement of  the  unfortunate  Mary, 
queen  of  Scots.  It  had  formerly 
many  religious  houses,  is  large, 
populous,  and  ancient.  It  has 
three  parish  churches.  At  the 
south  end  of  the  town  there  is  a 
tall  spire,  the  only  remains  of  a 
church  that  belonged  to  a  mo- 
nastery of  grey  friars.  The  pulpit 
of  Trinity  church  is  large.  St. 
Michael's  has  a  spire  of  excellent 
workmanship,  300  feet  high.  In

was,  in  the  time  of  the  Saxons, 
an  archbishopric  for  a  short  time, 
and  is  now,  together  with  Co- 
ventry, a  bishopric.  It  is  go- 
verned by  a  corporation,  and  is 
a  county  within  itself,  with  pecu- 
liar privileges.  The  close  is  in 
the  county  of  Stafford.  Here  are 
two  hospitals,  a  free  grammar- 
school,  three  parish  churches,  a 
large  town-hall,  and  gaol.  At  the 
school,  Dr.  Johnson,  who  was  a 
native  of  this  city,  was  educated^ 
as  were  also,  for  a  time,  Addison, 
Garrick,  bishops  Smallridge  and 
Newton,  and  others,  celebrated 
for  their  learning  and  wit.  The 
close  was  formerly  fortified,  and 
resisted  the  parliament  forces  for 
several  days.  The  cathedral  was 
built  by  Oswy,  king  of  North- 
Limberland,  abnit  300;  it  was 
fterwards  rebuilt  and  greatly  en- 
larged in  1296.  In  the  civil  wars 
ihe  spire  was  destroyed,  and  it  wms 
convL-rted  into  a  stable.  After  tlie 
estoration  it  was  repaired  at  a 
;reat  expence,  and  is  now-  one  of 
the  fah^-est  and  noblest  structures! 
jf  the  kind  in  England.  Its  por- 
tico is  scarcely  to  be  paralleled. 
The  choir  is  worthy  observation, 
jn  account  of  the  elegant  sculp- 
ture about  the  windows,  and  the 
embattled  gallery  thatruns  beneath 
rhem.  At  the  end  of  the  choir, 
which  is  now  open  to  the  cast

the  workmanship  of  Eggintjn  of 
Birmingham.  St.      Michael's 

church-yard  contains  se,ven  acres 
of  ground.  Here  was  a  castle,

near  the  handsome  gate  of  the 
close,  ndw  taken  down  (upon 
the  scite  of  alms-bouses,  for

broad,  but  most  of  the  buildings

there  are  few  vestiges  to  be  traced, 
was  built  4n  the  reign  of  Henry 
HI.  It  had  formerly  four  churches, 
which  are  reduced  to  one,  the

*  LIVERPOOL.     Its  situation  is 
low,  but   healthy,    pleasant,  and 
commodious,  at  the  mouth  of  the 
Mersey.     It  is  populous,  and  the 
most   flourishing  seaport   in  these 
parts.     The   inliabitanrs  are   uni- 
versal merchants,  and  trade  to  al- 
most all  foreign  countries.     Ship 
of  any  burden  may  come  up  with 
their  full  lading,  and  ride   before 
the  town,  which  is  open  and  un- 
fortified.   In  1644  it  was  besieged 
by  prince  Rupert,  and  taken,  after 
a    stout    resistance.     In    1699    a 
church  was  built  by  act  of  parlia 
ment,  and   the  town  was  made  a 
distinct  parish,  separate  from  W^al 
ton,  to  which,  before  this  time,  it 
had  only  a  parochial  chapel.     The 
'old  church  was  an  elegant  Gothic 
jstructure.     There  are   now  many 
churches,  to  which  the  corporation 
ipresents.     Here    are    also    many 
(places  of  worship  for  dissenters  of 
[various    denominations ;     a  blue 
jcoat  hospital  ;  a  public  infirmary  5 
jand   an  hospital  for  decayed  sea- 
|men.     The  Exchange  is  a   hznd 
isome    Corinthian    edifice.      The 
new  buildings  are  handsome,  and 
the  new   streets   spacious.     Some 
merchants    have     houses      here, 
which,  in  -  Italy,  would   pass  for 
palaces.     There  are  several  public 
docks,  which  will  contain  near  a 
thousand  ships   with  great  safety. 
They    are    bounded    by    quays    a 
mile  and  a  half  in  length,  and  able 
to  contain  20,000  tons  of  shipping. 
About    1360   the    town    was  the 
property  of  sir  Thomas   Latham, 
who  gave  it,  with   other  estates, 
to  his  daughter,  who  married  sir 
John    Stanley,    who    rebuilt  and 
fortifietl  it.     It  is  governed   by  ai 
corporation,  to   whom ,  belongs   al

from  springs   four  miles  from  the 
town,     its   principal    trade    is    to 
the  coast  of  Guinea  for  slaves  5  and 
much   wealth  is  obtained  by  this 
traffic.     A  traveller  -will  find  his 
iiime  w^^jj  employed  in  surveying 
the  buiiuings   and    quays   of  this! 
itown.     Here  is  also  a  good  public 
ilibrarv.     The  records  of  the  town 
ptate  that,  m  11)65 y  no  more  than 
jtwelve    vessels    belonged    to   this 
port,   the  whole  of  which  amoun 
ed  to  no  more  than  175  tons,  and 
manned  by  T5  men.    The  number 
of  ships   has   always  annually  in- 
creased 5    so    that    in    1793,    the 
number  had  increased  to  six  hun- 
dred   and    six,  of    96,694   tons. 
The  town  is  said  to  navigate  one 
twelfth  part  of  all  the  shippuig  of 
Great    Britain  5    it    has    also  one 
('fourth  part  of  the  foreign  trade  of

*  CHESTER 88 

is  a  large  and  ancient  city,  with  a 
noble  bridge,  having  a  gate  at  each 
end.  and  twelve  arches  over   the 
Dee,   which    falls   into    the    sea. 
Here  are  eleven  parishes  and  nine 
churches.     The  cathedral,  once  a 
monastery,    is   ancient.     Here   is 
also  an  ancient  castle.     It  is  said 
that  both  were  built  by  Hugh  Lu-| 
pus,  the  nephew  of  William   the! 
Conqueror.     It  is  also  said  that  the 
church  was  founded  by  Edgar,  who 
occasionally  made  this  place  his  re- 
sidence;  where,  it  is  said,  having 
'purposed  to  go  by  water  to  the  ab- 
bey of  St.  John  the  Baptist,  he  ob- 
liged eight  of  his  tributary  princes 
to  row  hiai  in  a  barge  upon  the 
Dee.     The  city  is    said    to    have 
be«n  founded   by  the  Romans,   in 
whose   days  it  was  very  eminent 
After    it    had     submitted  to   the 
Saxons,  the  Britons  recovered  and 
kept  it,. till  Egbert,  the  first  Saxon 
monarch,   took    it,   about    S26. — 
About  940  it  was  taken   by  the 
Danes.     In  the  thirteenth  year  of 
his  reio;n,  king  Edgar  summoned 
all  the  kings   and, princes  of  the 
island  hither  to  pay  him  homage ; 
and  the  kings  of  Scoti,  Cumber- 1 


K.  R, 

iancf;    and   Man,    and  five  petty- 
kings   of  Wahs,  ;wore  fealty  to 
him,  and  rowed  him  in  a  barge  on 
the  river  Dee,  while  he  steered  the 
helm.       In  1695  a   mint  was  es- 
tablished   here.     The  streets   are 
spacious,  and  the  houses  generally 
af  timber.     They  are  built   with 
piazzas  before   them.     The  walls 
were  firs^  erected  by  Ethelfleda,  a 
Mercian  lady,  in  908,  from  v/hence 
there   is  a  pleasant  Walk,  except 
wh-ire  it  is  interrtipted  by  some  of 
the   towers  over  the  gates.     The 
piscopal   see  was  first  tianshted 
from  it  to  Litchfield,- soon  after  the 
conquest,  and  it  remained  without 
this  dignity,  till  it  was  restored  by 
Henry  VIII.     In  the  castle,  where 
the  earls  of  Chester  formerly  held 
their  pai-liament,  is  a  stately  hall, 
where  the  palatine  court  and  as 
sizes   are  held.       Here  is  also  a 
tower,  ascribed  to  Julius  Caesar,. 
A  Dutch  colony  was   settled   here 
some  years  agu,  by  whose  industry 
he  traffic  was  much  augmented  j 
but   the  most  noted  manufactures 
here   are  of  tobacco-pipes.      The 
keeping  of  the  gates  of  this  city 
was  once  esteemed  so  honourable, 
an  office,  that  it  was  claimed  by  se- 
veral noble  families:  the  east- gate, 
by  the  earl  of  Oxford  ;  bridge- gate, 
by  the  earl  of  Shrewsbury  ;  water 
gate,  by  the  earl  of  Derby  ;   and 
north-gate,    by  the  mayor   of  the 
city.     On   the   east  side  there  is  a 
postern,   which   was    shut    up   by 
one   of   its   mayors,    because    his 
daughter,  who  had  been  at  an  en- 
rertainment  iu  Pepper-street,  was 
stolen,  and  conveyed  away  through 
this  gate:   this  has  occasioned  the 
proverb,  **  When  the  daughter  is 
stulen,   shut  Pepper-gate.'"'     Kin^ 
Ethelwolf,   and  two  other  British 
kings,  are  said  to  have  been  crown- 
ed  here  j  and   Henry  the  I  Vth  oi 
Germany  died  and  was  buried  here, 
after  having  lived  here  as  a  hermit,

is  pleasantly  situated,  and  has  a 
good  port  and  river.  It  is  sur- 
rounded by  a  wall,  and,  being  on 
the  declivity  of  a  hill,  has  a  de-l 
lightful  prospect.  A  magni(icentj 
castle  was  built  here  by  the  earll 
of  Chester,  in  the  reign  of  Wii- 
iam  the  Conqueror,  which  was 
destroyed  in  the-  .-eign  of  king 
Stephen ;  but  Edward  I.  ordered 
t  to  be  rebuilt,  and  it  yet  re- 
mains one  of  the  must  beauciful 
structures  in  Wales.  On  the  i;pper 
part  of  the  walls  are  ten  to-.vers, 
and  one  higher  than  the  others  has 
four  beautiful  turrets.  The  walls, 
in  many  places,  are  from  twelve 
to  fifteen  feet  in  breadth.  The 
gate  of  the  castle  is  lofty.  The 
ha!l  is  a  magnificent  room,  100 
feci:  long.  All  the  outside  of  the 
castle  is  yet  entire,  except  one  of! 
the  towers,  which  fell  into  the  sea 
when  the  rock  gave  way.  A  wood 
extends  from  the  castle  to  the 
summit  of  the  hill.  A  gr^at  trade 
was  formerly  carried  on  in  corn, 
but  it  is  now  decayed.  The  church 
is  a  handsome  Gothic  structure  j 
and  in  the  church-yard  is  the  fol-

rhames  and  Cherwell,  on  an 
eminence.  The  town  is  three 
miks  in  circumference,  and  is  of 
a  circular  form.  It  consists  chiefly 
jf  two  spacious  streets,  crossing 
each  other  in  the  middle  nf  the 
town.  The  university  is  said  toj 
have  been  founded  by  the  im 
mortal  Alfred,  receiving  from  him 
manyprivilegcs  and  largerevenues. 
About  the  middle  of  the  twelftli 
century  public  lectures  of  the  civil 
law  were  read  here,  not  more 
than  ten  years  after  a  copy  of 
Justinian's  Institutes  had  been 
found  in  Italy.  In  the  reign  of 
Henry  III.  th.re  were  said  to  be 
fifteen  thousand  scholars.  He^-e 
are  twenty  colleges  and  five  halls 
several  of  which  arc  in  the  streets 
and  give  the  city  an  air  of  magni 
ticence.  The  colleges  are,  Uni 
versity,  Baliol,  Merton,  Exetei 
Oriel,  Queen's,  New,  Lincoln, 
All- Souls,  M.igdalen,  Brazen 
Nose,  Corpus  Christi,  Christ- 
church,  Trinity,  St.  John  Bap 
tist's,  Jesus,  Wadham,  Pembroke 
VVorcester,  and  Hertford.  The 
balls  are  Alban,  Edmund,  St. 
Mary's,  New  Inn,  and  St.  Mary 
Magdalen.  The  most  ancient  is 
University  college,  founded  before 
the  year  872.  Queen's  college 
resembles  the  Luxemburg  palace 
at  Paris.  Its  west  wing  was  de- 
stroyed by  fire  in  1778.  New 
college  has  a  beautiful  chapel,  with 
painted  glass  windows.  The  ca- 
thedral belongs  to  Christ-church 
college,  which  was  begun  by  car- 
dinal Wolsey,  and  finished  by 
Henry  VIIL  The. most  distin- 
guished libraries  are  those  of  All- 
So  :  s,  Newcollege,  Christ-church, 
St  Jonn's,  Exeter,  Corpus  Christi, 
and  the  Bodleian.  Among  other 
public  buildings  are  the  theatre, 
the  Ashmole:.a  museum,  the  Cla- 
rendon printing-house,  the  Rad-i, 
di  Je   infirmary,  and  a  fine  obscr-

vatory.  All  ravellers  agree  in 
confessing  that  there  is  not  such 
another  group  of  buildings,  nor 
such  another  university,  in  the 
world.  Magdalen-bridge  is  526 
feet  long,  and  of  beautiful  archr 
lecture.  At  Oxford,  king  John 
compelled  by  his  barons,  sum- 
moned a  parliament  to  meet  in 
1258  ;  the  proceedings  of  which 
Were  so  disorderly,  that  it  was 
known  generally  by  the  name  of 
ti  e  "  mad  parliament."  When 
Henry  VIII.  suppressed  the  mo 
nastfcries,  among  the  new  b'shop 
rics  which  he  then  erected  was 
that  of  Oxford.  Charles  the  First 
assembled  a  parliament  in  this 
city,  in  1625,  in  consequence  uf 
the  plague  then  raging  in  London  ; 
.ind,  in  1644,  he  summoned  such 
of  the  members  of  both  houses  as 
were  devoted  to  his  interests. 
This  city  was  remarkably  attached 
to  that  unfurtunate  king,  *who 
here  held  his  court  during  the 
whole  civil  war.  It  is  governed 
by  a  mayor  and  corporation,  de- 
pendent on  the  chancellor  and 
vice  chancellor  of  the  university. 
Its  population  in  1801,  was  11,694,

the    Great     to     have      translated 
Boetius  De  Consolatione  Philoso- 
phiae  at  this  place.     Here  was  a 
magnlEccnt    royal   palace,    which 
was  the  favourite  retreat  of  several 
kings     of    England,     at    different 
periods,  till  the  reign  of  Charles 
the  First,  when,  during  the  civil 
commotions,  it  was  reduced  almcfst 
to  ruins.     It   was   not,  however 
entirely  demolished,  till  after  the 
building  of  Blenheim,  when  every 
trace  of  the    ancient   edifice  was 
Iremoved,  and  two  elm- trees  were 
planted  on  its  scite.     Henry   the

here  resided  the  beautiful  and  un

ftion  near  the  spring  that  still  bears

IRON-BRIDGE 13 

COLEBROOK-DALE  ....  1<2| 
on  the  banks  of  the  Severn  is  a 
winding  glca,  between  two  vast 
hills,  which  break  into  various 
forms,  with  beautiful  hanging 
woods.  Here  are  the  most  consi- 
derable iron  works  in  England. 
'  The  noise  of  the  forges,  mills, 
&c."  says  Arthur  Youug,  "  with 
all  their  vast  machinery,  the  flames  ^- 
bursting  from  the  furnaces,  with 
the  burning  of  coal,  and  the  smoke^ 
of  the  lime  kilns,  are  altogetlier 
horribly  sublime."  A  bridge  en- 
tirely made  of  cast-iron,  which  has 
been  thrown  over  the  Severn,  gives 
these  scenes  yet  a  nearer  resem- 
blance to  the  ideas  in  romance.  A 
ork  for  obtaining  fossil  tar,  or  pe- 
troleum, from  the  condensed  smoke 
of  pit-coal,  has  been  erected  in  the 
Dale.  Here  is  also  a  spring  0^

makes  the  isle  of  "Alney'.''' This 
small  island  is  famotrs  for  .the'i^oyal 
duel  fought  upon  it,  between  king 
Edmund  IronSidfe  and  Canute  king 
of  Denmark,  to  decide  the  fate  of 
the  kingdom,  in  sight  of  both  their 
armies  :  in  which  the  lattef  being 
ounded,  he  proposed  an  amicable 
division,  and  accordingly  obtained 
the  north  part,  the  south  falling  to 
Edmund.  Gloucester  is  a  large 
and  well-inhabited  place,  has  been 
lately  much  improved,  and  its  four 
principal  streets  are  admired  for  th6" 
regularity  of  their  junction  in.  the

in  the  year  941,  Athclston,  after  a 
reign  of  sixteen  years  ;  and  here  the 
unfortunate  Elgiva,  wife  of  Edwy, 
was  cruelly  murdered.  The  emi- 
nent persons  buried  here  were  Ro- 
bert duke  of  Normandy,  eldest  son 
of  William  the  Conqueror,  and  the 
unfortunate  Edward  II.  By  the

*  KESWICK.,...,    2.^1 

is   a  town,  seated  in  a  vale,   sur-, 
rounded   by   hills,  near  tbe   rapid 
iver    Greeta.     It    was    formeiiy 
known  for  its  copper- mines,  which 
endered  it  a  considerable   place, 
but  it  now    consists   of  one  long 
street  only.     It  is  protected  fromj 
the  north  winds  by  the  lofty  Skid-  j 
daw.     The  vale  of  Keswick  .hasj 
been   lately  much   visited  by  thei 
admirers  of  nature.     Here  is  thea 
lake  of  Keswick,  or,  more  proper- 1 
ly,  the  lake  of  Dcrwent- water.  Toj 
the  north  of  this  romantir  piece  ofi 
water    soars    the    lofty   mountain 
Skiddaw,  one  of  the  most  distin- 
guished in  Engiaad,  and  the  haujit 
of  eagles,  and  other  birds  of  prey. 
To  the  south   is  the  dreary  region 
of  Borrowdale.     The  water  of  the] 
Derwent- water  is  subject  to  violent 
agitations,  and  often  without  any 
apparent  cause.   It  has  one  peculiar 
characteristic,    that   it   retains    its 
form,  viewed  from  any  point,  and 
never  assumes  the  appearance  of  a 
river.     Borrowdale   abounds,    be- 
yond any  other  part  of  the  world,  i 
with  the  finest  sort  of  that  valua-  \ 
able   and  singular   mineral,  biackj 
lead,  or  wad,  the  mines  of  which ; 
are  only  opened   at  intervals,  and  ^ 
then    carefully  closed    again,    lest; 
this  precious  substance  should  be-i 
come  too  common.     Copper,  lead,:' 
and  calamine,  are  also  found  in  thi.-. 
tract.       Derwent-water    is    three. 
miles  in  length,  and  one  mile  and; 
a  half  wide.     Five  islands  ribc  our' 
of  this  lake,  which  being  covered,! 
either  with  turf  or  trees,  add  great-^ 
ly  to  the  beauty  of  the  appearance.; 
On  one  of  these  islands   is  an  ele-j 
gant  modern  house.  Skiddaw  is  onef 
of  the  most  remarkable  mountains  in

hill,  washed  by  the  tide  of  Flood 
on  the  west  side,  where  there  is  a 
large  rock,  or  quarry  of  hard  \vhite 
stone,  which  gives  n^mc  to  the 
place,  and  which,  with  the  help 
of  a  strong  stone  wall,  secures  the 
harbour.  It  is  lately  much  im 
proved  in  its  buildings,  and  noted 
tor  its  trade  in  pit  coal  and  salt, 
there  being  near  it  a  prodigious 
coal-mine,  which  runs  a  consider 
able  way  under  the  sea.  In  1566 
it  had  but  six  houses,  and  one 
fishing-boat.  The  effects  of  trade, 
industry,  and  enterprize,  have 
scarcely  ever  been  so  strikingly 
exemplified,  as  in  the  rise,  pro- 
gress, and  increasing  importance 
of  this  rich  and  flourishing  town. 
From  an  obscure  hamlet  it  has 
become,  within  two  centuries,  oi 
great  magnitude.  Here  the  ele-

broader  than  a  mile.  It  exhi-

it  is  222  feet  deep.  It  is  famous

thirty  acres,  crosses  the  lake  in  an 
oblique  line,  surrounded  by  a  num- 
ber of  inferior  isles,  finely  formed 
and  wooded  :  they  make  together 
a  kind  of  archipelugo.  Not  a  bul- 
rush, nor  swampy  reed,  defiles  the 
margin  of  this  lake.-  In  navigating 
it  upward,  from  the  Great  Island 
the  extremity  appears  singularly 
noble,  its  parts  neat  and  pic 
turesque  ;  and  the  view  of  the 
surrounding  mountains,  from  Cove 
ro  Kirkston,  is  astonishing.  At 
the  upper  corner  of  this  lake  are 
rhe  ruins  of  a  fort,  supposed  ro 
iiave  been  Roman.  In  laying  the 
Foundadcjn  of  a  curious  edifice, 
built  on  the  scite  of  Holme-house, 
in  1774,  discoveries  were  made  of 
very  old  foundations,  pavements, 
and  gravel  walks.  At  the  head 
of  Windermere  is   Croft  -  Lodge,

*  LEEDS  is  a  large  town,  situated 
in  a  valcj  which  trade  has  rendered 
one  of  the  most  populous  spots  in 
England,  and  is  the  principal  of  the 
clothing  towns  in  Yorkshire.  It 
is  particularly  the  mart  for  the 
coloured  and  white  broad  cloths, 
of  which  vast  quantities  are  sold 
in  its  cloth-halls;  that  called  the 
mixed  cloth-hall  is  a  building  of 
amazing  extent,  '  in  which  the 
cloth  is  placed  on  benches,  for  sale, 
every  market  day,  and  the  whole 
business  is  transacted  within    the 

pace  of  an  hour,  without  the 
least  confusion.  The  white  cloth- 
hall  is  a  similar  building.  The  ma- 
nufactures that  supply  these  tv/o 
halls  extend  about  ten  miles  to  the 

outh,  fifteen  to  the  south-west, 
and  eight  to  the  north  and  west, 
the  mixed  cloths  being  mostly 
made  in  the  neighbourhood  of  the 
river  Aire,  and  the  white  cloths  in 
that  of  the  Calder.  Leeds  has  a 
manufactory  of  camlets,  which 
has  declined,  and  a  flourishing  one 
of  carpets, resembling  those  of  Wil- 
ton and  Scotland.  Here  are  also 
some  mills  foj-  the  cutting  of  to- 
bacco, and  a  great  pottery.  Within 
three  miles  of  the  town  are  nu- 
merous  collieries.  Here  is  a  house, 
called  Red-hall,  because  it  was  the 
first  brick  building  in  the  town, 
and  king  Charles  L  had  an  apart- 1 
meat  in  it.  Here  was  an  ancient 
castle,  which  king  Stephen  be- 
sieged in  his  march  to  Scotland. 
It  is  also  noted  for  some  medicinal 
springs.  The  population  oi  this 
place,  as  taken,  and  returned  to

235    *  SCARBOROUGH    Is  a  large 
borough,  seated  on   a   steep  rock, 
near  which  are  such  craggy  cliffs, 
that    it  is   almost  inaccessible  on 
every   side.     On   the  top  of   this 
ock  is  a  J^rge  green  plain,  with  a 
little  well  of  fresh  water  springing 
out  of  the    rork.      It    is    greatly  j 
frequented  on  acqount   of  its  mi- 
neral   waters,    called  the  Scirbo- 
rough   spa,  and  also  for  sea  bath- 
ing ;  on  which  account  it  is  much 
improved  in  the  number  and  beauty 
of  its  buildings.      The  spring  was 
under   the  cliff,  part  of  which  fell 
down  in  December,  1737,  and  the 
water  was   lost ;    but  in  clearing 
away  the  ruins,  in  order  to  rebuild 
the  wharf,  it  was  recovered,  to  the 
great  joy  of  the  town,.       Here  are 
assemblies  and  balls,  in  'the  same 
manner  as  at  Tunbridge.     It  has  a 
good  harbour, ,  possesses  a  consi 
derable   s-hipping-  trade,,     and    is 
m_uch    engaged   in    the    fisheries. 
On    the   rock,    king   Henry    II. 
erected  a  noble  castle,  aoW  in  ru- 
ins, into  which  Edward    II.    put 
his  minion,    Piers    Gaveston,     to 
secure  him  from  the  resentment  of 
the  nobility,  whom  he  had  insult- 
ed :     but  they  forced  it  to  su.'ren-

streets  are  regular.  It  has  a  trade 
in  corn,  coal,  and  timber.  The 
cathedral  was  formerly  a  monas- 
teiy,  is  a  majestic  structure,  full 
of  curious  work,  and  has"  a  large 
choir.  Jt  was  founded  in  655,  to 
'vhich  the  abbot  of  Croyland  and 
his  monks  fiying  for  protection  in 
the  year  870,  they  were  overtaken 
and  murdered  in  a  court  of  this

is  seated  on  the  north  side  of  the

large  town,  with  two  parish 
churches.  It  is  fortified,  and  is  the 
first  town  that  shut  its  gates  against 
Charles  the  First :  but  its  fortifi. 
cations  are  now  inconsiderable 
while  its  commerce  is  increased  so 
much,  that  it  is,  perhaps,  the: 
fourth  port  in  the  kingdom.  Its 
situation  is  extremely  advantage- 
ous :  for,  besides  its  communica- 
tion with  the  Yorkshire  rivers  and 
canals,  it  has  access  by  the  Hum- 
ber to  the  Trent,  and  iti  branches. 
The  foreign  trade  is  chieHy  to  the 
Baltic,  but  it  has  also  regular  traf- 
fic with  the  southern  parts  of  Eu- 
rope, and  with  America.  More- 
ships  are  sent  hence  to  Greenland 
than  from  any  other  port,  except 
London.  The  coasting  trade  is 
very  considerable.  Among  the 
public  buildings  are  the  Trinity- 
house,  for  the  relief  of  seamen  and 
tlieir  widows,  and  an  exchange,

John  of  Beverley,  archbishop  of 
York,  was  discovered,  with  his 
bones,  and  many  relics  ;  and  on  a

was  known,  that  in  1188  it  was 
consumed  by  fire;  on  the  rebuild,

GREAT  DRIFFIELD 20v| 

In  17S4,  the  society  of  antiqua- 
ries, receiving  good  information 
that  the  remains  of  king  Alfred  the 
Great,  who  died  in  90 1 ,  were  de- 
posited in  this  church,  they  de- 
puted two  of  their  members  to  ex- 
amine into  the  fact.  After  digging 
>ome  time  they  found  a  stone  cof- 
fin, and,  on  opening  the  same,  dis- 
covered the  entire  skeleton  of  that 
eat  prince,  together  with  most 
part  of  his  steel  armour.  The 
coffin  was  again  closed,  as  well  as 
the  grave,  and  left  in  the  same 
state  as  when  found.  It  appears 
ihat  Alfred,  being  wounded  in  the 
battle  of  Stamford  Briggs,  returned 
to  Driffield,  where  he  languished 
of  his  wounds  twenty  days,  and 
then  expired,  and  was  buried  in

Edward,  the  eldest  son  of  Alfred, 
built  a  ca^^.ile  here,  which  has  bten 
often  a  royal  residence.  It  is  still

and  by  the  English  kings  and  ba- 
rons alternately.  It  was  also,  in 
irs  ancient  time,  frequently  injured, 
by  fire.  In  1281  its  old  wooden 
bridge  was  carried  off  by  the  ice, 
in  a  sudden  thaw  after  a  frosi.

Before  the  reformation  it  had  thir- 
ty-seven    altars.        It    v/as     once 
famous  for  the  shrine  of  Thomas-a- 
Becket,  visited  by  pilgrims    from 
all  parts   of  Europe,     This  turbu- 
lent priest  having  been   murdered 
here  in  11 70,  v/ns  afterwards  made 
a  saint ;  miracles  were   pretended 
to  be  performed  at  his  tomb.  Lewis 
the  Seventh  of  France  made  a  pil- 
grimage to  this  tomb,  and  bestowed 
on  the  shrine  a  jewel,  esteemed  the 
richest  in  Christendom  :  bat  Hen- 
ry VIII.  in  1538,  not  only  pillaged 
this  rich    shrine,    but    caused   the 
Saint  to  be  cited  in  court,  tried  and 
condemned  as    a   traitor,  ordering 
his  name  to  be  struck  out  of  the 
calendar,  his  bones  to  be  burnt,  and 
his  ashes  thrown  into  the  air.     In 
this  cathedral  are  interred   Henry 
the  Fourth  and  Edward  the  Biack 
Prince.     Here  are  many  ruins  of 
Roman  and  Saxon  buildings,  also 
of  a  castle  built    Ly  William  the

finely  painted  by  sir  Jaraes  Thorn-

founded  by  Henry  earl  of  North- 
ampton, father  of    the  celebrated 
oatl  of  Surrey  \   it  is  for  the  main- 
tenance of  twenty  decayed  house-

founded  by  Mr.  Lanabard,  author 
of    the    Perarnfeulatloh  of  Kent;

is  established  a  royal  academy, 
under  the  Board  of  Ordnance,  for 
the  instruction  of  boys  in  engineer- 
ing and  military  affairs.  The 
largest  ships  ride  here  safely,  even 
at  low  wa-ter.  Part  of  the  parish 
lies  on  the  shore  of  Essex,  where 
was  once  a  chapel,  yet  it  is  in  the 
county  of  I^nt.  It  was  an 
inconsiderable  place  till  Henry 
VIII.  founded  a  dock  and  maga-

This  king  built  here  two  of  the 
largest  ships  which  England  had 
ever  seen,  the  Regent,  of  a  thou-

poor  town,  inhabited  chiefly  by 
fishermen  ;  but  having,  for  some 
years  past,  become  a  fashionable 
place  of  resort,  on  account  of  its 
convenience  for  bathing,  it  has 
been  enlarged  by  many  handsome 
new  buildings.  The  Steine,  a  fine 
lawn  between  the  town  and  the 
sea,  forms  a  beautiful  and  favourite 
resort  for  the  company.  Here 
Charles  11.  embarked  for  France

cester. Great  flocks  of  sheep  are

It  had  a  celebrated  abbey,  founded 
n  the  reign  of  Hem y  I.  in  which 
-ieveral  important  ti-ansactions  took 
place.  .  Here  king  John  is  said  to 
have  slept,  the  night  before  he 
signed  Magna  Charta:  probably, 
t  may  be  of  little  consequence  to 
know  where  a  tyrant  slept  j  but' 
many  will  associate  such  a  circum- 
stance with  reflections  on  what 
must  have  been  the  nocturnal  feel 
ings  of  that  tyrant,  when  about  to 
sign,  by  compulsion,  such  humi- 
liating restraints  upon  his  prcrog 
tive.  Here  a  parliament  was  held 
in  1236,  in  which  were  enacted 
the  famous  provisions  of  Merton, 
the  most  ancient  body  of  laws  after 
Magna  Charta ;  and  the  barons 
gave  that  celebrated  answer  to  the 
clergy,  '»  Nolurmis  leges  AnglUe 
mutare.''' — We  will  not  change  the 
laws  of  England.  Nothing  re- 
mains of  this  abbey  but  the  east 
window  of  a  chapel ;  and  the  walls 
which  surround  the  premises,  which 
e  built  of  flint,  are  nearly  entire,

the  record  of  this  event,  the  town 
s  called  Kijnmgnstuny  famosa  ilia

This  town  sent  members  to  par- 
lament  in  the  reigns  of  the  2d  and

borough,  in  consequence  of  a  pe- 
tition from  the  corporation,  pray. 
n^  to  be  released  from  the  burthen. 
The  wooden  bridge  here,  over  the 
Thames,  is  the  most  ancient  on 
that  river,  except  London-bridge, 
and  the  corporation  have  a  revenue 
for  its  support.  Here  is  another 
bridge  of  brick  over  a  stream, 
which  comes  from  a  spring  in  a 
cellar  four  miles  above  the  town 
and  forms  such  a  brook,  as  to  turn 
two  mills,  not  many  yards  from  it 
and  from  each  other.  A  chapel  by 
the  side  of  its  church  suddenly  fell

this  right  the  duke  of  Norfolk  is 
earl  of  Arundel.  No  other  spot  in 
England  possesses  this  peculiar 
dignity.  It  was  given  by  I  lie 
empress  Maud  to  Willjam  de  Al- 
bani,  as  a  recompence  for  his  de 
tence  of  it  against  king  Stephen. 
The  present  duke  of  Norfolk  has 
fitted  it  up  in  a  style  of  grandeur 
and  magnificence  worthy  of  its 
noble  owner.  In  the  church  are 
some  stately  monuments  of  th

crowned  by  a  spire,  the  luttiest  in 
the  kingdom.  It  posscises  a  ma- 
nufactory of  flannels  and  liuseys, 
of  hardware  and  cutlery.  Its 
cathedra}  was  begun  in  1219  by 
bishop  Poor,  who  sent  for  archi- 
tects from  abroad.  It  was  conse- 
crated in  the  presence  of  king 
Henry  III.  It  i>  esteemed  one  of 
the  most  beautiful  structuies  in

king  Athelstan  changed  its  name 
to  Exeter,   about   940,    at  which 
time  he   fortified  the  city.     The 
cathedral  is  a  magnificent  and  cu- 
rious fabric,  which,   though   near 
500  years  in   building,  appears  as 
uniform  as  if  it  had  had  but  one

RICHMOND  is  esteemed  the 
finest  village  in  the  British  dorai- 

lions,  and  was  anciently  called 
ShenCi  which,  in   Saxon,  signifies 

esplendent.  From  the  singular 
beauty  of  its  situation  it  has  been 
termed  the  Frescaii  of  England. 
Here  once  stood  a  royal  palace,  in 
which  Edward  III-  died  of  grief, 
for  the  loss  of' his  heroic  son,  the 
Black  Prince  ;  and  here  died  Anne, 
the  wife  of  Richard  II.  This  pa- 
lace was  beautified  by  Henry  V. 
■vho  founded  three  religious  houses 
near   it.       In    1497,    it   was   de- 

troyed  by  fire,  when  Henry  VII. 
was  there ;  but  he  rebuilt  it,  and 
called  it  Richmond  from  the  name 
which  he  bore  before  he  obtaine. 
the  crown.  Here  he  died  j  and 
here  also  queen  Elizabeth  expired. 
Part  of  this  palace,  with  battle-

20    *CHERTSEY  is  a  market  town 
seated  near  the  Thames,  over  which 
is  a  handsome  stone  bridge.     Here 
was  once  a  stately  abbey,  in  which 
was  deposited  the  corpse  of  Henry 


the    Sixtn,  which   was    afterwards 
emoved  to  Windsor.     It  possessed 
an  income  at  the  dissolution  of  744 
pounds  a-yeaj ,  though  it  contained 
only  fourteen  monks-      Out  of  the 
ruins  ot  this  abbey,  all  that  remains 
of  whi^h  is    th     outer  wall  of  the 
circuit,  sir  H.   Carew,   master  of 
the    buck- hounds    to   Charles   II. 
uilt   a  house  upon  the  spot.     To 
this   town  Cowley,  the  poet,  re 
tired,  and  here  he  ended  his  days, 
in    a   house    called    the  ^<  Porch 
House,"     now     belonging    to    R. 
Clarke,  esq.  chamberlain  of  Lon- 
don.    His  study  is  a  closet  in  the 
back  parr  of  the  house,  towards  the 
garden.      In  1773,    in    digging    a 
vault  in  the  chancel  of  the  church, 
a    lead-n    coffin    was    discovered, 
containing  the  body  of  a   woman 
in  nigh  preservation  ;  the  face  ap 
pcaiing   perfectly   fresh,    and   the 
lace  of  the  linen  was  sound.     As 
the  church  was  built  with  the  ab- 
bey, in  the  time  of  the  Saxons,  the 
body  must  have  been    long  depo- 
sited     On  the  side  of  St.  Anne 
hiil.  in  this  pirish,  is  the  seat  of 
the  hun.   C.  J.  Fox.     On  this  hijl

*  SOUTHAMPTON  is  a  large 
and  handsome  town,  delightfully 
seated  on  a  fine  inlet  of  the  sea, 
This  inlet  is  navigable,  almost  to 
the  head,  for  vessels  of  consider- 
able burthen ;  and  the  two  princi- 
pal rivers  that  flow  into  it  admit 
small  crafr  some  way  up  the  coun- 
try. It  was  formerly  a  port  of 
great  commerce.  It  contains  five 
churches.  It  is  surrounded  by 
walls  and  watch-towers,  and  had 
a  strong  castle,  now  in  ruins,  to 
defend  the  harbour.  It  is  a  fa^ 
shionable  place  of  resort  for  sea 
bathing.  It  was  on  this  beach 
that  the  Danish  king  Canute  gave 
that  striking  reproof  to  his  flatter 
ing  courtiers,  when  the  disobedient 
tide  washed  his  feet.  At  the  time 
of  tlie  Conquest,  according  to 
Doomsday-book,  this  town  con 
tained  84  houses.  In  1801,  from 
the  return  made  to  parliament,  the 
population  was  7913.  Here  king 
Henry  V.  mustered  his  army,  when 
he  m.ade  his  first  expedition  to 
France.  Charles  Vth,  emperor, 
embarked  here  on  board  the  £ng 
lish  fleet  for  Spain ;  and  king 
Philip  of  Spain  landed  here,  when 
he  came  to  marry  queen  Mary. 
At  St.  Mary's  harnlet,  a  littie  to

famous,  from  the  time  of  the  Ro-

remarkable  in  England,  and  infe- 
rior to  few  in  Europe  :  they  are  not 
jonly  used  as  baths,  but  internally 
as  a  medicine  J  and  preat  benefit 
is  derived  from  them  in  gouty,  pa- 
ralytic, bilious,  and  other  cases. 
The  reputation  of  these  waters  is 
so  much  increased,  that  Bath  is 
become  tl»e  principal  resort,  next 
to  the  metropolis,  for  persons  of 
rank  and  fortune,  and  for  the  con- 
stant residence  yf  opulent  invalids,

On  a  hill,  within  a  few  yards  ot:

*  BRISTOL,  In  wealth,  trade, 
and  population,  this  city  and  sea- 
port has  long  been  reckoned 
one  of  the  most  considejable 
in  this  kingdom.  It  is  seated 
at  the  confluence  of  the  Avon 
with  the  Frome.  The  tide 
rising  to  a  great  height  in  these 
p.arrow  rivers  brings  vessels  of  con- 
siderable burthen  to  the  quay 
which  extends  along  the  inner 
shores  of  the  Frome  and  Avon ; 
but  at  low  water  they  lie  aground.

kingdom.       It   has    a   prodigious 
trade.      Here    are    fifteen    glass- 
houses 5  and  the  sugar  refinery  is 
one  of  its  principal  manufactures 
The  hot  Wells  are  much  frequent-

obtained  a  high  reputation    in  the 
treatment  of   consumptive   cz^i

in  St.  Vineent'a  Rock,  above  this 
ell   are   found  those   native  cry 
stals,  so  well  known  by  the  name 
of  Bristol  stones.     In  the  college 
green  stands  a  stately  high  cross  of 
Gothic  structure,  decorated  with 
the  etiigies  of  several  of  the  kings 
of  England.     They  use  sledges  m- 

read  of  carts,  because  the  vaults 
of  the  common  sewers  will  not  ad-

raised  in  the  r^ign  of  William  IL 
have  been   long  demohshed  ,-  but 

there  are  several  gates  yet  standing. 
It  became  a   bishop's   see  in   the

bishop  of  Worcester,  in  1443,  who

hose  it  for  the  place  of  his  inter-

belief  prevails  among  the  lower

sick  children  who  touch-  this  stone 
on  the  eve  of  the  ascension,  are

Its  castle  w^as   built  in  the  reign  of 
Henry  VII.     It  is  a  large  and  no- 
ble ruin,  though  more  perfect  than 
ruins   of    this    kind    usually   are. 
Near  the  castle  stands  the  citadel, 
a  large  octagonal  tower,   encircled 
by  a  separate  moat,  and  was  for- 
merly joined  to  the    castle  by  a 
draw-bridge.     The  great  extent  of 
the  castle,  the  grandeur  and  num- 
ber of  the  apartments,     and  the] 
size  of  the  offices  and  cellars,  give! 
proofs  of    baronial    magnificence, | 
and  splendid  hospitality,   scarcely! 
conceivable   in  the  present  times.  | 
The    grand   establishment  of  the 
first  marquis    of  Worcester  is  re- 
corded in  Heath's  account  of  Ra 
Ian  Castle  ,  the  numerous  officers 
of  his    household,    retainers,    at- 
tendants,   and    servants,     appear 
like  the  retinue  of  a  sovereign  ra 
ther  than  a  subject.    He  supported 
for  a  considerable  time  aganison  of 
'--ight  hundred   men  ;    and  on  the 
surrender  of  the  castle,  besides  his 
own  family  and  friends,  the  officers 
alone  were  no  less  than  four  colo- 
nels, eighty-two  captains,  sixteen 
lieutenants,  six  cornets,  four  en- 
signs, and   four  quarter  -  masters} 
besides  fifty-two  esquires  and  gen- 
tlemen.      The   demesnes    of    the 
castle  corresponded  with  the  mag- 
nitude of  the  establishment ;    be- 
des     the   gardens  and  pleasure- 
grounds  adjoining  to  the  mansion, 
the  farms  were  numerous  and  well- 
conditioned  J  the  meadows  about 
Landenny  were   appropriated   for 
the  dairy ;    an  extensive   tract   of 
land,  clothed  with  oak.  and  beech,- 
formed  the   home-park ;    and  the

*  GLASTONBURY  is  a  town, 
seated  near  a  high  hill,  called  the 
Tor,  and  is  noted  for  a  famous  ab- 
bey, some  magnificent  ruins  of 
which  are  still  remaining  ;  but  they 
have  been  much  diminished  for  the 
sake  of  the  stones.  The  curious 
structure,  called  the  abbot's  kitchen, 
is  entire,  and  is  of  a  very  unusual 
contrivance.  The  only  manufac- 
ture here  is  stockings  :  but  the 
chief  support  of  the  place  is  from 
the  resort  of  people  to  see  the  ruins 
of  the  abbey.  The  George  Inn  was 
formerly  called  the  Abbot's  Inn, 
because  it  was  a  receptacle  for  the 
pilgrims  that  came  to  the  abbey. 
ft  was  pretended  that  the  bodies 


of  Joseph  of  Arimathea,  of  king 
Arthur,  and  of  king  Edward  the 
Confessor,  were  buried  here.  The 
last  abbot  of  this  place  was  hanged 
on  the  { op  of  the  Tor,  by  order  of 
king  Henry  Vill.  for  not  acknow- 
ledging his  supremacy.  The  walls 
that  remain  of  the  abbey  are  over- 
grown with  ivy,  and  the  aspect  of 
the  whole  is  grand  and  venerable. 
At  a  little  distance  from  the  old 
church  are  two  remarkable  pyra- 
mids, with  inscriptions,  in  unin- 
telligible characters,  and  an  image 
in  bishop's  vestments.  This  place 
is,  at  present,  large,  and  has  two 
churches.  Near  to  it,  on  a  high 
hill,  is  a  tower,  which  conimands 
an  extensive  prospect,  and  serves 
as  a  landmark  to  seamen.  White

uins  of  a  castle.  It  had  three 
churches,  an  university,  and  was 
the  see  of  a  bishop,  afterwards  re- 
moved to  St.  David's.  Its  walls 
were  built  by  the  Romans  with 
brick,  three  miles  in  compass 
Many  remains  of  its  ancient  mag-|

which  are  the  walls  of  a  theatre.

tropolis of  the  British  empire,  and 
the  favourite  residence  of  the  re- 
nowned king  Arthur,  and  his 
knights  of  the  round  table.  It  is

which  rises  with  a  gradual  ascenij 
fri.  m  the  Avon,  which  a)  most  sur-l 
rounds  it,  and  over  which  is  n 
■^tone  bridge.  It  contains  three 
"hurches,  and  v/as  formerly  noteo 
for  its  abbey.  Its  abbot  was  mi- 
tred ;  and  the  abbey  was  one  of 
tht?  largest  and  rao^t  atately  in 
England.  Here  is  a  tower,  built 
by  one  of  its  abbots.,  and  which 
was  one  of  the  gates  of  the  abbey, 
of  which  it  is  the  only  relic.  A 
wah  ycr  remains  near  the  bridge, 
which  shews  the  boundary  of  the 
•  bbey.  Near  the  bridge  was  a 
C'istle,  which,  in  1 157,  was  dcmo- 
iisht:3.  Here  are  considerable  gar- 
den grounds  around  it,  whose  pro- 
'iuce  supplies  the  adjacent  town.--. 
its  ch-ef  manufacture  is  woollen 
•;tock.ings.     The  vale  of  Evesham 


is  on  the  banks  of  the  Avon,  and

stands  in  a  cavity  of  the  hills, 
which  are  lofty  mountains.  On 
the  hills  are  two  medicinal  springs. 
Here  was  formerly  an  abbey.  Mar- 
garet, queen  of  Henry  VII.  and  his 
two  sons,  Arthur  and  Henry,  after- 
wards Henry  VIII.  were  so  de 
lighted  with  this  place,  that  they 
beautified  the  church  and  win- 
dows, part  of  which  remain,  though 
mutilated.  On  the  summit  of 
these  hills  is  a  camp,  with  a  treble 
ditch,  imagined  to  be  Roman. 
From  these  hills  is  a  most  rich  and 
beautiful  view  of  the  vale  of 
Evesham. 

MALVERN,  Worcestershire  7^ 
Here  was  formerly  an  abbey,  no- 
thing of  which  remains  but  a  gate- 
way, and  the  church,  now  paro- 
chial. Part  of  it  was  a  religious 
cell  for  hermits  before  the  Con- 
quest; and  the  greatest  part,  with 
the  tower,  was  built  in  the  reign 
of  William  the  Conqueror.  Its 
outward  appearance  is  very  strik- 
ing. Its  floor  is,  in  some  places, 
paved  with  square  bricks,  painted 
with  the  arms  of  England.  In  it 
are  ten  stalls,  supposed  to  have 
been  built  in  irhe  year  1171.  The 
windows  have  some  beautiful  paint- 
ed glass  ;  and  here  are  the  re- 
mains of  some  ancient  monuments. 
The  wells  are  much  frequented  by 
invalids.

Owen  Goch  was  confined  for  mote 
than  twenty  years,  for  having 
joined  in  a  reheilion  against  his 
brother  Llewelyn  ap  Jorweth,  the 
last  prince  of  Wales.  Near  the 
castle  is  a  trenaendous  cataract, 
called  Caunant  Mawr,  the  height 
of  which  is  more  than  sixty  feet. 
Not  far  from  hence  is  a  small  cop- 
per mine,  belonging  to  the  com- 
pany of  proprietors  who  reside  at 
Macclesfield.  From  this  castle  is 
an  easy  ascent  to  the  summit  of 
Snowdon,  four  miles  and  a  half 
distant.  Here  the  traveller  enters 
the  beautiful  vale  of  Llanberis. 
LLANBERIS  is  a  very  romantic 
village,  surrounded  by  vast  rocks. 
On  the  /.  of  the  village  is  the  moun- 
tain Glyder  Vawr,  the  loftiest  of 
all  the  Caernarvonshire  mountains, 
except  Snowdon,  from  the  summit 
of  which  is  a  grand  and  unbounded 
prospect.  At  the  end  of  the  vale 
lis  a  most  romantic  pass.

a  small  place  on  the  coast,  chiefly 
upportedby  copper  mines.    About 
one    mile   from    it     is  the   Parys 
Mcuniain,  that  inexhaustible  mine 
of  copper,  and  by  consequence  of 
wealth  to  all  the  proprietors.    Two 
miles   to  the   east   is  Llan   EUan 
There  are  two  mines  in  the  Parys 
Mountain   which  join    upon   each 
other;  of  these,   the   earl  of  Ux 
bridge  is  possessed  of  one  half,  and 
the  other  is   betwixt  the  rev.  Ed 
ward  Hughes  of  Kinmael,  near  St.! 
Asaph,  and  Thomas  Williams,  esq.] 
of  Llanedan.     The  latter  holds  his 
share    upon    lease   from   lord  Ux- 
bridge, which   will    soon   expire, 
when  Mr.  Hughes  and  his  lordship 
will   become   the  sole  proprietors. 
It  is  supposed  that  the  Romans  got 
copper   ore    from    this    mountain; 
from  which  time,  till  the  year  1764, 
these  mines  seem  to  have  been  en- 
tirely neglected.      The  bed  of  ore, 
which  is  of  unknown  extent,  is,  in 
some  places,  twenty-four  yards  in 
thickness  ;  and  the  number  of  men 
employed  is  more  than  one  thou- 
sand.      The  mines  have  increased 
the  value  of  lands  of  the  parish  from  | 
about  14001.  to  50001.  a-year,  andj

One  mile  from  it,  near  the  seat  of

fougiit  betwixt  the  Welch  and  tl

A  more  beautiful  or  more  pic-

rock,  two  sides  of  which  are  washed 
by  a  river.  Its  architecture  and 
position  are  truly  grand,  and  denote 
the  spirit  and  judgment  of  its 
founder,  king  Edward  J.  The  hall 
is  the  most  remarkable  apartment 
now  left ;  it  is  130  feet  Lng,  32 
broad,  and  about  22  in  height. 
Edward  I.  after  his  conquest  of 
the  Welsh,  with  his  queen,  and 
grezit  part  of  the  English  nobility^ 
spent  a  Christmas  at  this  castle. 
The  walls  around  the  town,  which 
are  built  upon  the  solid  rock,  and 
betwixt  twelve  and  fifteen  feet  in 
thickness,  are  nearly  entire.  There 
are  yet  some  poor  remains  of  the

On  entering.the  Sands  on  the  i.  is

26    FURNESS  ABBEY 206 

was  founded  in  1127,  and  was

tion  of  it  is  highly  favourable  to  the 
superstitious  solitude  of  a  monastic 
life !  its  ruins  give  a  high  idea  of 
its  former  magnificence.  The  tra- 
veller may  turn  on  horseback  to 


R.  «.

and  Adgarly.  On  th6  r.  of  this 
road  are  seen  the  islands  of  Walney 
and  Foulney,  Peel-castle,  and  other 
bcautilul  objects.  At  Adgarley, 
the  richest  iron-ore  is  found  in  vast 
quantities.  On  the  r.  are  seen  the 
ruins  of  Gleaston-castle,  the  seat 
of  the  Flerriings  soon  after  the 
Norman  conquest.  Leaving  Urs- 
wick  behind,  ascend  Birkrig,  a' 
rocky  eminence,  and  from  the  bea- 
con notice  the  variety  of  extensive 
views  of  land  and  sea,  mountains 
and  islands.  When  the  traveller 
returns  to  CIverstone,  he  may  visit 
the  priory  of  Conishead,  standing 
at  the  foot  of  a  fine  eminence ;  a 
spot  liighly  beautiful  both  by  na- 
ture and  art.

greatest  depth  does  not  exceed 
forty  fathoms.  The  shores  are  fre 
quently  indented,  and  the  bays 
pen  in  a  variety  of  forms.  Above 
the  village  of  Nibthwaite  the  lake 
opens  in  full  view.  On  the  west-

and  above  it,  the  village  of  Conis-

H  A  WKSHE  AD 1 83$ 

On  a  steep  ^hill,  surrounded  with 
wood,  is  a  back  view  of  the  lake. 
To  the  north  is  a  most  tremendous 
scene  of  mountains  heaped  upon 
mountains,  in  every  variety  of  hor 
ror.  The  church  is  seated  on  the 
front  of  an  eminence,  commanding 
the  vale,  which  is  washed  by  Es- 
thwaite  Water,  which  is  two  miles 
in  length,  and  half  a  mile  in  breadth. 
This  lake  is  encompassed  with  a 
good  carriage  road.  On  its  banks 
are  villages  and  houses,  adding  to 
the  beauty  of  the  scene;  among 
others  is  Bellmont,  a  handsome 
m»dcm  house,  charmingly  situ 
ated.  The  fish  here  are  perch, 
pike,  eel,  and  trout  j  no  char  are 
found  in  this  lake. 

THE  FERRY 181 

There  is  another  road  to  Winder- 
mere by  Ambic-side ;  but  to  those 
who  ride  on  horseback  this  may  be 
the  more  eligible,  leading  to  the 
centre  of  the  lake,  where  all   it* 
beauties  are  seen  to  the  -greatest 
advantage.     This  road  is  through 
the-  villages  of  Colthouse  and  Saw 
reys.  Near  the  isthmus  of  the  Ferry 
Point,  on  the  western  side,  may  be 
ascended  the  top  of  the  nearest  rock 
and  from  thence,  in  two  views,  are 
commanded  all  the  beauties  of  this 
magnificent  lake.  In  front  are  seen 
Berkshire  Island,  orRamps  Holme, 
clothed  in  wood;  Rough  Holme i 
a  circular  isle,  covered  with  trees. 
Lady  Holme,  wTie-re  formerly  stood 
an  oratoiy,  is  of  an  oval  shape  ; 
forming  with  other  isks  a  spacious 
archipelago.      To  the  north  is   a 
most    magnificent  scene,.      After 
surveying  this  extensive  sceneiy 
return  to  the  road,  follow  the  left 
path,  till  you  arrive  at  Harrow,  a 
farm-house.     This   is  a  charming 
picture.     Here  the  lake   is   again 


caught,  and  the  village  of  Bowness 


hangs  on  its  hanks.     Descend  ta 
the  Ferry-house,  and  proceed  to 
the   great  island,  where  the    lake 
will  present  a  new  and  charming 
view.     This  island  was  long  the 
property  of  the  family  of  Philipson  5, 
and  sir  Christopher  Philipson  re 
sided  upon  it  in  the  reign  of  queen 
Anne.     It  now  belongs  to  J.  C. 
Curwen,  esq.  who  has  adorned  the 
mansion,  and  rendered  it  one   of 
the  s-weetest  places   that   can   be 
raagined.     From  the  south  side  of 
the    island    is    a  noble  extent  of 
water,  whose  shore   is  beautifully 
wooded,  and  highly  cultivated :  the 
upper  parts  are  wild,  and  grazed 
with  flocks.     From  the  north  side 
of  the  island  the  views  are  grand 
and  sublime.     The   lake  is  here 
seen  both  ways.     Its  borders  are 
adorned   with    villages   and   cots 
Rydall-hail  is  sweetly  seated  amid 
these   scenes.      Rayrig   and  Cal- 
garth  grace  its  banks.     The  latter 
the  property  ofe  Dr.  Watson,  the 
learned  biihop  of  Landaff,  who  has 
built  an  elegant  mansion  here,  and 
made    large    plantations.       From 
these  scene*  the  traveller  usually 
down" to  Rawlin son's  Nab,  a 
peninsular  rock,  where  are  beauti- 
ful views  to  the  north  and  to  the 
south.     For  the  purpose  of  taking 
a  general  view  of  the  lake,  return  to 
Bovwiess,  and,  taking  the  bye^road

the  Low  Wood  inn,  two  miles 
short  of  Ambleside,  will  attract  the 
traveller's  notice  j  no  other  inn  in 
this  route  has  so  fine  a  vievv'  of  a

here,  to  gratify  jthe  curious  with 
the  remarkable  reverberations  of 
its  sound  at  this  place.  On  the 
top  of  an  em-iaence  behind  Ray- 
rig  (which  is  said  to  resemble  Vol- 
taire's seat  at  Ferney,  on  the  lake

Gray.  The  church  stands  at  a 
small  distance  from  the  lake,  on 
the  side  of  the  river  Rothay.  The 
broken  head  of  Helme  Crag  has  a 
fine  effect  from  this  point.  De-

of  it  is  about  three  miles  from 
north  to  south,  of  irregular  form, 
and  its  greatest  breadth  exceeds 
not  a  mile  and  a  half.  The  best 
method  of  viewing  this  enchanting 
water  is  in  a  boat,  and  from  the 
banks.  From  Cockshut-hill  a  ge- 
neral view  of  ir  may  be  seen  ;  and 
from  hence  it  appears  in  great  beau- 
ty. From  Crow-park  is  also  a  ce-

Here  are  the  remains  of  a  fort,  and 
much  freestone  has  been  quarried 
out  of  its  ruins.  The  fort  is  said, 
to  have  been  of  F.oman  origin :  the 
Saxons,  and  atter  them,  the  monks 
of  Furness,  maintained  this  fort. 
Grange  was  the  place  where  they 
laid  up  their  grain  and  their  tithe,

There  are  many  pleasing  rides  in 
this  neighbourhood,  leading  either 
to  carious  remains  of  antiquity,  or 
to  modern  rural  improvements.  In 
Whinfield-park  are  the  countess- 
pillar,  the  white-hart-tree,  and  the 
three-brothers-tree ;  the  first  is  a 
filial  tribute  of  Ann  countcs*  dow- 
ager of  Pembroke,  to  the  memory 
of  her  mother,  Mary  countess 
dowager  of  Cumberland.  Broug- 
ham-castle is  an  awful  ruin,  the 
Brovoniacum  of  the  Romans,  and 
the  pride  of  the  earls  of  Westmore-

tle Salkcld  is  the  largest  druidical 
circle  in  the  north.  Near  Emont- 
bride  is  Arthur's  Round  Table, 
and  near  it  is  Mayburgh,  both  of 
remote  antiquity.  The  remains 
of  Shap  Abbey  are  inconsiderable; 
but  picturesque.  Near  it  is  :

The  little  vale  contracts  into  a 
glen,  strewed  with  the  precipitated 
ruins  of  mouldering  mountains, 
and  the  destruction  of  perpetual 
waterfalls.  The  road  leads  through

The  approach  to  it  from  the  north 
is  pleasant  5  it  is  watered  by  the 
Kent,    a  noble   river.     Here  are 
manufactories   of    coarse   woollen 
cloths,  linscys,   and  knit  worsted 
stockings ;     of    fish-hooks,    and 
wool-cards.  A  quarry  of  marble  has 
been  lately  found  near  it :  it  takes 
the  highest  polish  and  is  variegated 
with  different  colours.     Here  is  a 
handsome  houseof  sir  Alan  Cham-

Gothic  fabric,  with  a  square  tower, 
in  which  are  monuments  of  the  fa- 
milies of  Bellingham,  Strickland, 
and   Parr.     The  remains  of  the

leaves  of  trees  ;  it   is  called  the 
Dropping  Well.     At  a  small  di. 
stance  is  Hincaster,  where  the  Ro 
mans   had  a  camp.     Within  the 
park  is  Kirksheafi,  mentioned  by

were  almost  destroyed,  but  many

Here  is  an  ancient  castle,  greatly 
in  decay.  The  situation  of  it  is 
formidable,  and,  from  the  solem- 
nity of  its  ruins,  is  at  this  time 
strikingly  august.  It  appears  to 
have  been  a  place  of  considerable 
extent  and  strength.  Here  is  a 
stable  with  an  arched  roof  of  stone, 
without  any  wood  in  its  structure  j 
the  mangers  are  stone  troughs. 
Several  ancient  monuments  have 
been  dug  up  here.  Beyond  on  the

THE  PRINCIPAL  DIRECT  ROADS 
IRELAND; 

MEASURED  FROM  DUBLIN. 
(The  mile  in  Ireland  is  one  niile  and  a  half  in  England.) 


To  ANTRIM. 

DUBLIN  is  the  capital  of  Ire 
land,  in  the  county  of  the   sam^ 
name.     Ir  is  seated  on  the  river 
LifFey,  in  view  of  the  sea  on  the 
east.     It  is  about  two  miles  and  a 
half  in  extent  both  in  length  and 
breadth.     It   was  erected   into    a 
bishopric   by   William   the    Con- 
queror,    in    1084- ;    and    into    an 
archbishopric  in  1152.  The  streets 
.f  Dublin  have  a  near  resemblance 
to  those  of  London,     it  contains 
two    cathedrals,    eighteen    parish 
churches,    two    chapels   of    ease, 
fifteen    Roman-catholic    chapel 
thirteen    raecting-houscs   for   dis-i 
senters  of  various  denominations 
three  foreign  churches,  and  a  sy- 
nagogue.    There  are  several  mag- 
ficent  streets  and  squares,  manyi 
of  which  aie  newly  built.    Among 
the  principal  public  buildings  are, 
the   castle,    the   residence   of  the 
viceroy,  which  was  built  in  1213; 
Trinity  college ,  that   which  was 
the   parliament   house ;  the  royal 
exchange  ;  the  ne^v  custom-house  jj 
the  royal  hospital  at  Kilmainham,| 
for   invalids  5    and   Essex-bridge," 
one  of  the   five  bridges  over  thei 
Liffey.     The  harbour  is  choaked 
up    with     two   banks    of     sand, 
which    prevent  vessels    of    large 
burthen  from  going  over  the  bar; 
a   defect  which  wiil  be,  remedied,' 
no  doubt,  by  some  fine  projected^ 
improvements.     It  is  sixty  miles 
west  of  ijolyhead  in  Wales  5  and 


three  hundred  and  thirty  north- 
west  of  London.     This   city  re- 
turns two,  and  the  university  one 
member,  to  the  united  parliament.

ville,  esq.  It  is  a  noble  edifice, | 
with  excellent  gardens,  and  an 
extensive  estate:  the  brge  piece 
of  water  between  the  house  and 
the  road,  considerably  adds  to  its 
beauty.  Beyond  on  the  r.  are

*  LONDONDERRY,  Derry,  is 
a  very  considerable  town,  the  capi- 
tal of  the  county.  Its  foitifications 
are  not  strong,  and  yet  it  is  re- 
markable for  a  long  siege  it  sus- 
tained against  king  James  the  Se- 
cond, in  1689.  It  is  a  modern 
place,  built  by  a  company  of  Lon- 
don adventurers,  in  the  reign  of 
James  the  First.  It  consists  of 
Jonly  two  streets^  neat  and  well 
paved }  and  the  houses  are  mostly 
built  of  freestone.  At  the  siege, 
when  all  the  commanding  officers 
were  dead,  they  chose  Mr. Walker, 
a  clergyman,  for  their  head,  who 
performed  wonders  by  his  bravery 
and  conduct,  till  a  naval  force  from 
England,  wi^h  some  troops  under 
general  Kirkc,  broke  the  boom 
acro.ss  the  harbour,  and  brought  a 
seasonable  relief  j  by  which  the 
enemy  were  so  dispirited,  as  to 
raise  the  siege.  This  town  is 
seared  on  the  river  Mourn,  near  its 
mouth  ;  and  has  a  considerable 
inland  trade,  as  well  as  its  trade  to 
America  and  the  West  Indies.  It 
returns  one  member  to  the  united 
parliament,

On  the  27th  of  August,  1798,  the 
French,  commanded.,  by  general 
Humbert,  attacked  and  defeated 
ihe  English  troops,  who  were 
posted  in  front  of  the  town.  The 
town  remained  in  their  possession 
for  nine  days,  when  they  marched 
out  towards  Colooney,  on  the  ar 
rival  of  the  army  under  marquis 
Cornwallis.

the  extremity  of  the  town,  one  of 
the  round  towers  peculiar  to  Ire- 
land. This  is  a  small  sea-por'c,  on 
the  western  coast  of  a  largvj  bay  of 
the  same  name,  opening  into  the 
Atlantic.  Sonie  coarse  linen  and 
woollen  cloths  are  made  here  ;  but 
fishing  is  the  chief  occupation  of 
the  inhabitants.  The  bay  and 
river  abound  with  greyt  variety  of 
fish,  and  afford  annually  a  plenti- 
ful supply  of  herrings.  Here  lived 
Morgan,  of  astonishing  talents  as 
an  arithmetician.  He  could  mul- 
tiply nine  figures  ty  an  equal  num- 
ber, without  tlie  use  of  pen  and 
ink.  The  French,  under  general 
Humbert,  landed  here  on  the  22d 
of  August,  17D8,  and  after  an  op- 
position from  a  small  party  of  fen- 
cibles,  took  the  bishop,  and  a 
number  of  others,  prisoners.  On 
the  24th  they  marched  towar-ds 
Ballina ;  but  finding  themselves  op- 
posed, they  returned  to  Killala, 
and  on  the  26th  advanced  to  Cas- 
tlebar.  An  entertaining  and  cir- 
cumstantial account  of  this  expe- 
dition was  afterwards  printed  by 
the  bishop  pf  Killala.

•At  present  it  has  lost  its  rank,  not 
because  it  flourishes  less,  but  be-

is  still  a  commercial,  rich,  and  po

Irish  and  English  town  ;  the  latter 
situated  on   ar  island  formed  by 
the    river    Shannon,    and    called 
King's  Island.     It  is  three   miles 
in    circumference.       The     linen, 
woollen,  and  paper  manufactures, 
are  carried  on  here  to  a  great  ex

is  very  considerable.     Besides  the 
cathedral  and  other  churches,  here 
are  many  hospitals,  and  some  hand- 
some public  structures.    King  Wil- 
liam was  obliged  to  raise  the  siege 
of  this  city  in  1(590  j  but  in  1691 
the   garrison    surrendered   upon   a 
very  honourable  capitulation.     It

is  seated  on  an  eminence,  about  a

The  cathedral,  public  walks,  and 
squares,  are  very  fine  :  but  the

Many  Roman  antiquities  have  been 
found  in  the  neighbourhood,  an<f 
there  are  some  mineral  springs.  It 
has  manufactures  of  ratteens,  drug-

of  France,  an  archbishopric,  the

cities  of  Europe.  The  river  Seine, 
which  crosses  it,  forms  two  small

I'Isle  Notre  Dame,  or  the  city, 
formed  the  entire  town  of  Lutetia,^ 
when  it  was  conq^uercd  by  Julius 
Caesar,  The  number  of  inhabit- 
ants is  computed  to  be  about  eight 
hundred  thousand.  It  is  six  leagues 
in  circumference,  incliiding  the 
suburbs.  The  rivers  Voppe,  Marne, 
^nd  Oise,  by  their  junction  with 
the  Seine,  convey  to  Paris  the  com- 
modities of  the  late  provinces  of

with  the  riches  of  the  late  province

The  public  buildings  are  hand-

squares.  The  Place  de  la  Revo- 
ution  was  the  fatal  scene  of  the 
execution  of  the  unfortunate  Louis

consort,  Maria  Antoinette  ;  the 
former  on  the  21st  of  January, 
and  the  latter  on  the  16th  of  Oc 
tobcr,  1793.  The  most  interest- 
ing of  the  manufactories  of  Paris 
is  that  of  the  Gobelins  (so  called 
from  a  family  of  celebrated  dyers, 
^eitiec  in  this  city  in  14dO),  in 
'.vlfich  tapestries  are  made  after  the 
pictures  of  the  greatest  masters,  to 
such  perfection,  that  a  whole 
length  of  Louis  the  Fifteenth, 
tramed,  and  placed  among  the 
masterpieces  of  painting,  was  taken, 
:br  many  days,  by  multitudes  of 
visitors,  for  a  finished  piece.  The 
manufactory  of  plate-glass,  also, 
merits  attention.  The  cathedral 
of  Notre  Dame,  a  Gothic  structure, 
is  one  of  the  largest  in  Europe,  and 
contains  forty-five  chapels.  The 
four  principal  palaces  are,  the  Lou-

National;  the  Palais  Royal,  nowle

assemblage  of  all  that  is  most  ex- 
quisite in  the  fine  arts.  But  it  is 
not  within  the  compass  of  our  plan

on  the  right  side  of  the  Seine 
The  streets  are  narrow,  crooked,

the  most  opulent  and  important 
places  in  France.  It  is  tvsro  league 
and  a  half  in  circuit,  and  (its  six 
suburbs  included)  is  computed  to 
contain  above  73,000  inhabitants 
Among  the  public  buildings,  the 
most  distinguished  are,  the  great

parliament  of  Rouen  met;  the  old 
castle,  and  the  principal  church,

An  economical  way  of  travelling 
from  hence  to  Paris  is,  to  embark 
on  the  Seine,  wherever  the  navi-

is-  conveyed  in  a  small  boat  from 
Rouen  to  Port  St.  Ouen ;  from 
whence,  on  account  of  the  wind-

about  six- leagues  by  land  ;  horses 
are  always  in  waiting  for  that  pur 
pose.  He  then  embarks ^on  board

is  conveyed  to  Poissy,  withip  fiv
