This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  library  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  part  of  a  project 
to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 
to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 
are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  marginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the 
publisher  to  a  library  and  finally  to  you.

Places ;  but  then  as  to  a  Survey  of  it,  they  contented  themfehes

the  beginning  of  Bede's  Ecclefiaftical  Hiftorv  ;  a  Description 
very  flight  ana  mean  if  compared  with  the  other  Excellent  Per- 
formances of  that  Great  Man :  and  yet  as  flight  and  incon- 
fiderab)e<w  it  is%  it  has  been  made  ufeofbythe  Compilers  of  the 
Saxon  Chronicle,  as  well  as  by  others ;  and  I  have  feen  it  in 
fime  MSS.  by  itfelf  without  the  lead  Notice  taken  that  Bede 
urns  the  original,  true  Author  of  it.  The  reafon perhaps  why 
the  Monks  were  deficient  in  this  Task  was  their  Confinement 
to  their  refpe&ive  Societies  ;  by  which  they  were  incapacitated 
for  travelling  and  making  Jucb  Obfervations  as  were  abfolutely 
necejfary  for  a  juft  and  faithful  Description  of  the  Ifle.  Had 
tbej  been  left  at  liberty,  and  been  indulged  ay  fome  Powerful 
Patrons,  there  is  no  doubt  but  they  would  have  perform9 dfucb  a 
Work  with  the  utmofl  exa&nefs.  We  have  reafon  to  think  thus 
of  them  from  what  appears  in  the  Monafticon,  and  in  other 
Books,  with  refpeel  to  the  Lands  belonging  to  each  Religious 
Houfe ;  in  accounting  for  which  they  ufd  a  more  than  ordinary 
exa&neis,  and  were  often  fo  zealous  in  their  Claims  as  to  tranf- 
grefi  the  rules  of  Juftice  it  felf  Hence  it  happen9 d  that  they

Concern  and  Regard  for  the  Good  and  Benefit  of  their  Socie-

were  very  careful  to  maintain  their  own  undoubted  Titles,

Pofterity  tbofe  Relations  be  drew  up.  They  were  other  Mo- 
tives that  were  the  happy  occafion  of  this ;  and  one  would  have 
thought  that  thefe  Excellent  Specimens  of  his  Induftry  and 
Care  in  accounting  for  his  Travels  and  the  various  Occur- 
rences that  befell  him  Jbould  have  wrought  upon  others  to  attempt 
the  like  Works,  and  to  improve  andcompleat  what  he  had  begun. 
But  they  were  fi  far  from  this,  that  the  Generality  would 
fcarce  voucbfafe  to  have  Copies  taken  \  and  even  tbofe  that  were 
Jo\\A  to  bis  Memory  as  to  get  his  Books  tranfcriVd,  nevertbe- 
lefs  neglefted  to  have  the  Map  or  Mapps,  which  he  bad  drawn  up 
with  Jo  much  labour,  committed  to  fych  hands  as  Jbould  give  us 
faithful  Copies  thereof  \  infomuch  that  at  pre/ent  there  are  few 
if  any  Copies  at  all  remaining.  But  what  need  we  wonder  at 
this ',  when  we  know  very  well  that  what  the  Romans  had  done 
Jeveral  Ages  before  met  with  the  fame  Fate  ?  Vegetius  mentions 
*  the  Itinerary  Tables  or  Mapps,  in  which  the  jeveral  Stations 
of  the  Roman  Souldiers  w*r*  reprefented  with  as  much  Accu- 
racy as  could  be  defied  from  Perfons  ignorant  in  the  Mathema- 
ticks.  And  yet  of  all  thefe  Tables  (the  number  whereof  was 
large)  we  have  none  now  extant,  but  the  Peutingerian  Tables, 
publijh'd  by  Velferus,  Ortelius  and  Bertius.  Velferus  has  ofr- 
fervid  that  they  are  full  of  Errors  and  Miftakes,  which  he  re- 
fohes  into  the  fame  Caufe  that  I  juft  now  hinted  at.  However 
'tis  a  valuable  Monument,  and  of  great  ufe  in  explaining  the 
Roman  Antiquities,  and  in  tracing  out  their  Jouruies,  as  well 
as  difcovering  the  true  Extent  of  the  Empire.  As  for  Antoni- 
nus s  Itinerary,  that  is  not  done  by  way  of  Map,  at  leaft  the 
Copies  banded  down  to  us  are  not  drawn  up  infuch  a  Form.  Nor 
indeed  has  that  excellent  Work  efcap'd  the  Iniquity  of  Time, 
and  the  Mifchiefs  following  from  ignorant  Scribes.     Though

Jet  dawn  the  fever  at  Titles  of  thole  large  Works  he  bad  proposed,

courfe,  calf d  his  New  Year's  Gift,  prefentedby  him  to  King  Henry 
VIII.  which  I  Jball  therefore  publijb  at  the  End  of  this  Preface 
from  the  Original  MS.  and  note  down  fome  of  the  Variations 
that  are  between  it  and  the  Copy  taken  by  the  Care  of  Mr.

it  that  were  fet  out  by  Mr.  John  Bale  fi,  Ralph  Brook  y  and 
John  Weeverfc  Amongft  thefe  Books  we  may  obferve  that 
he  bad  made  exa£t  Draughts  as  he  traveWd  of  each  County, 
*  which  he  intended  to  have  improved  into  a  mojl  accurate  and 
compleat  Map  of  all  England  ;  which  as  it  was  to  have  been 
fold  feparate,  fo  it  was  alfo  to  have  went  along,  and  been 
bound  up,  with  his  Defcription  of  England,  a  Work  that 
would  be  of  more  general  Ufe  and  of  more  lafting  Honour. 
What  would  have  rendered  this  Defcription  more  grateful  to 
Men  verfd  in  ancient  Authors,  and  inclined  to  the  love  of 
Antiquities,  is  this,  that  he  would  have  reftor9d  the  corrupted 
Names  of  Places  in  old  Authors,  and  nave  fuppbfd  a  great 
many  Lacunae  in  them,  particularly  in  Antoninus V  Itinerary, 
whereof,  'tis  likely,  he  had  procurd  fome  very  Ancient  MSb. 
Copies,  though  loft  foon  after,  when,  at  the  Diffolution,  there 
was  fucb  a  ftrange  and  miserable  Havock  made  of  Books. 
JVe  cannot  but  be  very  fenfible  of  the  ufe  fuch  old  Copies 
would  be  of  in  rectifying  fucb  Places,  if  we  do,  but  confider 
what  has  been  done  by  the  Help  of  them  by  Surita  and  our

THE   PREFACE.  jx 

Antoninus,  A  blato  Bulgio  Castra  Explora- 
toium,  and  fives  feveral  Conjectures  about  A  blato 
Bulgio,  /  think  that  there  is  no  reafon  to  doubt  that*  with- 
it  adding  or  taking  away  a  Jingle  Letter,  A  b  l  at  o  B  u  l- 
c  i  o  is  we  true,  genuine  Reading.  For  fo  I  find  'twas  writ- 
ten in  an  old  MS.  the  Le&ions  whereof  are  put  down  by  fome 
Learned  Hand  in  one  of  our  Bodlejan  Copies  of  Surita's  Edi- 
tion ;  yet  this  Observation  is  unhappily  mifs'd  tn  the  Improve- 
ments that  were  lately  made  to  Dr.  Gale's  Annotations.  The 
forft  MSS.  were  written  in  Capitals,  without  any  Diftin&ion 
of  we  Word  from  another*  and  there  is  no  wonder  that  after- 
wards*  when  fitch  Diftin&ions  came  to  be  made*  divers  Mis- 
takes Jbouldfatt  out.  What  confirms  this  Le£tion  is  the  Signi- 
fication of  fiulgium,  which  is  the  fame  with  the  Britifh  or 
Welch  «  Bwlch,  i.  e.  incile  or  aeftuarium.  The  Epithet  latum 
was  added  to  dijHngui/h  it  from  other  lefler  iEftuaries.  The 
Romans  turrid  Bwlch  into  Eulgium,  that  it  might  fuit  better 
with  their  Pronunciation.  'Tis  what  they  did  in  other  Words 
that  were  otherwise  purely  Britifh.     That  latum  was  added 


for  the  reafon  auedgd  feems  alfo   evident  from  the  Name 
that  this  Place  ( Boulnefs  is  the  modern  Name  )goes  by  it 
Anonymus  Ravennas,  (printed  at  the  End  of  Dr.  Gale's  An 


toninus,)  where  ytis  called fi  Magnis;  though  others  think 
that  this  has  reference  rather  to  Antoninus'/  Castra. 
Now  as  from  this  Inftance  corrupted  Words  in  Antoninus 
might  have  been  corrected  by  Mr.  Leland,  fo  withal  he  could 
have  fubphfd  other  Places  where  'tis  as  likely  there  are  Lacu- 
nae. Vindomis  or  Silchefter  in  Hamp-fture  was  one  of  the 
mo/I  large  and  moft  confiderable  Cities  of  Britain,  whiyl  the 
Romans  continued  here*  and  yet  we  find  it  omitted  in  the  eighth 
Journey  between  Venta  Belgarum  and  Calleva 
Atrebatum,  which  without  quejiion  was  exftant  in  the 
Original,  in  which  none  of  the  chief  Places  were  left  out. 
Befides*  it  occur rs  afterwards  in  the  fifteenth  Journey  5.  which 
plainly  Jbews  that  'tis  dropped  in  the  eighth.  Not  only  Places 
of  greater  moment  were  fit  down*  but  fometimes  thoje  of  lefs 
consideration,  efpeciaUy  if  they  were  Forts  and  lay  convenient 
for  the  Souldiers  in  their  Paflage  to  the  more  eminent  Stations. 
And  this  gives  me  occafion  to  mention  a  Difcovery  in  our  Englifh 
Antiquities  that  was  made  lately.  About  15  or  16  Years  jince 
as  they  were  ploughing  in  a  Field  near  the  Mannor  Houfe  of 
Feens  {in  Berk-fliire)  fituate  and  being  in  the  Pariflj  of  White-

were  imploy'd  fever al  days  to  dig,  it  being  thougbtfas  ufuai

Place  has  been  almoft  if  not  quite  caver* d  again  with  Earth. 
Before  J  came  to  the  Univerfity  /  vitw'd  the  Place  myfelf\  but 
being  net  then  in  any  capacity  of  framing  a  Judgment  estber  of 
this  or  any  other  Antiquities,  and  having  *»/,  Juice  that  time, 
bad  a  proper  opportunity  of  viewing  it  anew,  /  cannot  from 
my  own  Obfervations  pretend  to  determine  whether  or  no  ft  be 
reaUy  the  Remains  of  a  Roman  Monument.  What  therefore 
I  have  to  fay  upon  this  occafion  depends  upon  the  Information  of 
another  Pexfon,  whom  I  do  and  ought  always  to  honour.  Dif- 
courfing  with  him  upon  this  Subjed,  he  was  pleas' d  to  allure  me 
that  the  Stones  I  have  mention* d  agree  with  fucb  Artificial  Stones 
as  be  finds  from  his  Reading  were  certainly  made  by  the  Romans, 
and  the  Broken  Tiles,  fatter  d  up  and  down  the  Ground  in  no 
finall  quantity^  befays9  are  lite  thefe  in  Weycock,  (in  the  Pa- 
rifh  y  Laurence -Waltham)  about  a  Mile  Weftward /ran  this 
Place,  and  others  that  appear  in  good  plenty  alfo  in  a  Cfofe  calPd 
Berry-Grove,  at  a  little  diftancefrom  White  -Waltham  Church. 
Thefe  muft  be  allow' d  to  be  good  Tokens  c/"  Antiquity ;  yet  they 
are  not  fufficient  Proofs  to  /hew  either  this  near  Feens  or  that  tn 
Berry-Grove  to  have  been  a  Roman  Work.  That  of  Weycock 
was  without  difyute  fucb  a  Worky  (and perhaps  was  once  in  An- 
toninus) there  having  been  (as  there  are  now  continually}  great 
Humbers  of  Coyns  plough' d  up  by  the  Husbandmen  to  confirm 
it ;  and  'twas  from  this  Evidence  that  Mr.  Camden  has  f aid  ^ 
that  'twas  a  Roman  Fort.  Such  Evidence  /  liiewife  required 
with  refpecl  to  this  Building.  Upon  which  I  was  inform' d  from 
the  fame  Friend  that  there  had  been  divers  Roman  Coyns  of 
Brafs  taken  up  in  Feens  Ground,  but  that  the  Workmen, 
thinking  them  to  be  of  no  moment,  either  threw  them  away,  or 
elfe  difpers'd  them  in  obfeure  Hands ;  fo  that  be  has  not,  after 
the  ftri&eft  Inquiry,  been  able  to  obtain  a  fight  of  one  of  them. 
For  which  reafon  we  cannot  proceed  with  fo  much  Jecurity  tn  laying 
down  opinions  about  the  Antiquity  of  the  Place,  as  we  mighty 
Were  it  certain  and  without  doubt  that  there  have  been  fucb  Coyns

xn  THE   PREFACE, 

Weycock,  the  Road  aUo  running  by  it,  and  in  all  Ekefybdod  the 


firfl  Syllable  was  occajiorid  by  it,  pacg  figfdfying  a  Way  or 
Journey  amongft  the  Saxons.  The  latter  Syllable  is  nothing  but 
the  Saxon  Coppe,  that  denotes  the  Top  of  any  thing*  and  will 
well  enough  anjwer  to  the  Hill  in  this  Place.  This  I  take  to  be  a 
more  natural  Derivation  than  fic-ftop,  which  I  piteb'd  upon 
formerly  a.  Now  if  the  Road  went  by  theft  Places  in  tins  indi- 
rect manner,  and  not  as  it  lyes  at  this  day*  we  Jhall  then  be  able 
to  account  with  eafe  for  the  diftance  of  Miles  between  C  al- 
ley a  and  Po  n  T  £  s  as  represented  in  Antoninus.  He  reckons 
them  to  be  xxn.  whereas  there  are  only  xvin.  according  to  the 
prefent  Road ;  but  if  the  Way  lay  indited  (as  the  other  Ways 
amongjl  the  Romans  did)  and  the  Souldiers  ftopt  at  thefe  lefler 
Places,  the  addition  of  Miles  will  be  fo  considerable  as  to  rife  te 
the  full  Number  in  Antoninus,  efpeciaOy  if  they  likewije  call' eh 
either  at  the  Town  in  Berry-Grove,  (if  there  really  were  any 
fuch  Town  there,  as  the  name  fi  feems  to  import)  or  feme  other 
like  Places.  But  I  Jhall  not  inftft  any  longer  upon  this $  nor  bad

had  it  pleas'd  God  to  continue  his  Health  9  till  fuch  time  as  he  had 
compleated  thole  Excellent  Works  he  bad  begun ;  and  I  thought 
that  fuch  Inftances  might  ferve  a  little  to  evince  that  Antoninus

tor at  John  Cheek  (one  of  the  greateft  Lights  to  Learning  « 
that  was  ever  bred  in  this  Nation)  to  take  them  into  his  Cufto- 
iy.  Tbefe  Commands  were  moft  pun&ually  obferv'd,  and,  I 
frppofe,  a  fuitable  Gratuity  was  made  for  them  to  his  Brother, 
call  d  John  Leland  Senior,  who  had  the  care  of  him  after  he  . 
fell  into  that  deplorable  Calamity  and  Diftemper  that  I  have 
before  fpoke  of  By  this  means  Sir  John  became  feiz'd  of  far  the 
lareeft  Parcel  of  this  Great  Man's  Writings,  which  he  care- 
fully read  over,  extracted  many  things  from  them,  and  'tis  likely 
he  would  have  digeAed,  compleated  anapublijb'd  them  had  not  he 
ken  hinder  d  by  other  important  Affairs  and  the  Iniquity  of  the 
Times  occa/iond  by  the  untimely  Death  of  King  Edward.  After 
Sir  John  had  made  ufe  of  them,  he  gave  four  Volumes  in  Folio 
to  ji  Humphrey  Puretoy  Efq\,  who  was  afterwards  of  the  Privy- 
Council  to  Queen  Elizabeth  in  the  North  Parts  of  England.* 
The  reft  were  in  time  difpers'd  in  other  Hands,  and  many  off  them 
were  at  loft  fortunately  procur'd  by  that  curious  and  learned 
CaBe&or  of  Antiquities,  Sir  Robert  Cotton,  inwhofe 
Library  they  wow  remain.  But  a  much  better  Parcel  of  them 
fell  into  the  Hands  of  the  celebrated  Leyccfter-fliire  Antiquary 
Mr.  William  Burton,  to  whom  the  four  FoSo  Volumes,  juft 
now  mention' d,  were  given  in  the  Tear  MDCXIL  by  Mr. 
Thomas  Purefoy  of  JSarwell  in  Leycefter-fhire,  Son  to  the 
forefiad  Mr.  Humphrey  Purefoy.  Beftdes  thefe  four  Volumn, 
which  are  commonly  call'd  Mr.  Leland's  Colle&anea,  Mr. 
Button,  procured  eight  other  Volumes,  (written,  as  the  others 
were,  by  Mr.  Leland's  own  Hand)  call'd  his  Itinerary,  and 
ibey  were  of  wonderful  fervice  to  him  when  he  was  compiling 
his  Excellent  Work  of  the  Antiquities  of  Leycefter-fhire  ;

Works  that  tbeyfet  forth  concerning  our  National  Antiquities. 
Mr.  Burton  as  be  was  a  Man  profoundly  Jkill'd  in  our  An-

that  he  thought  would  any  ways  tend  to  itiujlrate  them.  His

Books  of  Mr.  Leland  with  great  Diligence,  on  purpofi  that  ho 
might  extra&  from  thence  whatever  be  ohfertfd  would  bt  of  bene- 
ft  to  him  in  the  worthy  Dc&m  be  bad  undertaken.  But  to  re- 
turn to  the  Originals  under  Mr.  Leiand's  own  Handy  by  that 
variety  of  Accidents,  to  which  they  bad  beenfubjeH  before  they 
came  to  the  Library,  they  received  Jo  much  Damage*  efpeciallytbe 
Volumes  of  the  Itinerary,  that  fever al  Leaves  were  quite  out* 
others  Jlrangeh  mangl'd*  and  thertftin  fucb  a  fbatter'd  Condi- 
tion as  that  Mr.  Burton  was  afraid  they  would  irrecoverably 
perijb ;  which  was  the  chief  Motive  liar  induced  him  to  get  feme 
Parts  tranfcriVd.  After  they  were  lodged  in  the  Library  they  were 
kept  dry;  but  the  wet  they  bad  contra&ed  before  was  fe  confider* 
able*  and  the  Damages  fe  many*  as  'twas  impofibie  to  Under 
them  from  a  continual*,  vtfbk  Decay ;  Jo  that  the  Leaves  of  the

THE  PREFACE.  xr 

by  teamed  Men,  particularly  by  that  Excellent  Antiquary  of 
Whaddon-Hall  in  Buckingham-fture,  BrownWillis 
Efc  who  cutting  to  the  Bo  dlejan  Library  in  the  Tear 
MDCCIII.  (be  being  then  a  Gentleman-Commoner  of 
ChristChurch)  and  having  occafion  to  confult  Mr.  Leland's 
Irinenby,  be  was  pleas' d  to  enter  into  Difcourfe  about  the  Fate 
of  bis  N1SS.  and  to  exprefs  an  hearty  Concern  for  their  Pre- 
feroatien.    He  was  very  urgent  to  nave  them  tranfcriVd  with 
the  utmoft  Exa&nefe,  and  bis  Arguments  hadjuch  an  effec? 
with  me,  that  I  undertook  to  tranferibe  the  Itinerary,  notwith- 
ftandkng  J  was  then  and  have  been  fsnee  invohfd  in  Bujmefe  of 
ammtbex  nature.    What  time  1 could f pare  from  my  other  Attaira 
I  fpent,  with  no  fmall  Delight,  in  this  Undertaking,  which  no 
one  that  either  bos  Uokt  or  Jball  look  upon  the  Originals  will 
(Ifrcfume)  deny  to  be  a  difficult  Task.     But  notwitbftanding 
theft  Difficulties  in  feme  time  1  bad  overcome  them  all,  and  Ip- 
niflfd  my  Tranfcript  with  my  own  Hand,  and  without  fo  much 
as  ever  confubing  the  Tranfcript  of  Mr.  Burton  all  the  time  I 
wen  ingenfd  in  it.     I  was  jo  nice  tn  this  Affair,  that  I  obfenfd 
Mr*  Lmxufsway  ^Tpelung,  and  omitted  nothing,  not  jo  much 
as  the  Afterisks  and  other  Notes  of  that  nature  that  bad  been  in* 
fined  by  him  ;  nor  did  I  leave  out  even  thofe  Words  that  are 
plainly  redundant,  nor  pretend  to  alter  or  correel  thofe  that  are 
munmeJUy  wrong  and  occafion* d  by  the  haft  the  Author  was  in9 
or  eye  by  the  DefecJ  of  Us  Memory.    Having fmiflfd  my  Tran- 
fcript /  communicated  it  to  feme  learned  Friends,  who  read  it 
aver  with  much  (atisfa&ion.    Amongjl  thefe  was  Francis 
C  M  B  R  R  y  Efq\  ff  Shottesbrooke.**  Berks,  ofwhofe  Piety, 
Integrity,  Learning  and  Wifdom  (which  are  confpicuous  to  all 
that  converfe  with  htm)  I  could  fay  many  things,  were  it  either 
conftftent  with  my  Defign,  or  were  I  not  certain  that  9twouId  of- 
fend bis  great  Modefty.    I  cannot  however  but  here  publicity 
acknowledge  that  ftis  to  ibis  moft  accomplifh'd  Gentleman  that 
I  chiefly  owe  my  Education  at  School  and  in  the  U  K  I  v  R  R- 
s  i  T  Y,  be  having  maintained  me  at  both  Places  for  feveral 
Years  at  bis  own  proper  Expence.     Some  of  the  Gentlemen 
that  read  over  this  Tranfcript  proposed  the  Printing  of  it,  as  the 
heft  and  moft  certain  Method  tojecure  it  againft  all  future  Da- 
mage.    And  'tis  out  of  deference  to  their  Judgment,  and  out  of 
a  fincere,  innocent  intent  of  ferving  and  obliging  the  Publick, 
that  I  have  now  at  my  otyn  Charge  (without  the  leaft  merce-

Relating  to  the  Second   Edition. 


MR.  Thomas  Hearne  in  1710.  and  the 
following  Years,  pubJiflicd  at  the  Prefs  of  this 
Univerfity,  One  Hundred  and  Twenty  Copies 
of  the  Itinerary  of  Mr.  John  Leland,  in  Nine  (mall  Vo- 
lumes :  This  Number  not  being  fufficient  to  anfwer  the  de- 
mand of  the  Curious,  has  conftantly  occaiioned  them  to  be 
fold  at  an  exceeding  great  Price,  and  indeed  but  rarely  to 
be  met  with  at  any  rate. 

It  has  been  judged  proper  therefore  to  reprint  this  Edition 
of  Mrr  Hearne's  ;  and  as  Omiffions  and  Miftakes  were 
found  to  have  efcaped  the  firft  Notice  of  that  induftrious 
Editor,  the  Original  MSS.  have  been  re-examined  with  the 
nroft  ftricft  Care,  and  many  Places  been  fupplied  and  amend- 
ed, which  in  this  Edition  are  printed  at  the  bottom  of  each 
Page,  and  diflinguifhed  by  Numerals. 

It  is  to  be  remarked  farther,  that  the  firft  Part  of  Mr. 
Hearne's  Eighth  Volume  contain'd  Supplements  to  the  prece- 
ding Seven,  and  that  at  the  end  of  the  Ninth  Volume,  He  alfo 
added  a  Review  of  the  whole  Work,  whereby  he  re&ified 
fome  Miftakes,  and  fupplied  many  Omiffions,  which  farther 
opportunity  and  his  well-known  Induftry  furnifhed  him 
with.  Thefe  it  has  been  now  judged  proper  to  infert  in  their 
refpe&ive  Places,  agreeable  to  Mr.  Hearne's  Intentions, 
had  they  came  time  enough  to  his  hands  >  as  he  exprefles  it  in 
the  Preface  to  the  laft  Volume. 

In  this  prefent  Edition  alfo,  are  feveral  Additions ;  viz. 
An  Extradt  fupplied  from  Mr.  Stowe,  in  the  Third  Volume, 
pag.  1 19.  Another  from  the  fame,  in  the  Fourth  Volume, 
pag.  126.  149.  Again  at  the  end  of  Vol.  5.  is  another  Ex- 
tract alfo  from  Mr.  Stowe.  An  Account  of  the  Inscriptions  of 
Melbury  &c.  in  the  Eighth  Volume,  pag  48.  And  at  the  end  of 
the  Ninth  Volume,  will  be  found  a  fmall  Fragment  of  the  Its- 
nerary  from  the  Cotton  Library,  which  had  efcaped  Mr. 
Hearne's  knowledge*.   It  hag  alfo  been  judged  proper  to 

»    The  feveral  Additions  here    mentioned,    are   all    to  be    found  in  their 
proper  Pages  in  thii  Edition  of    1770.

I  hard  fay  That  the  lower  Parte  of  Lincoln  Town  was  at 
foarifch,  and  won  be  policy,  and  inhabitid  for  the  Commo- 
dite  of  die  Water.  J 

This  Part  of  the  Tounc  is  caullid  Wikerford:  and  yn  it  be 
a  n.  Paroche  Chirches.  one  there  I  faw  in  dene  Ruine,

Chirchis  yn  Lincoln. 

There  goith  a  commune  Fame  that  there  were  ons  5a* 
Paroche  Chirches  yn  Lincoln  Cite,  and  the  Suburbes  of  it. 

Sum  hold  opinion  That  Eft  of  Lincoln  wefe  2  Suburbes, 
one  toward  S.  Beges,  a  late  a  Celle  to  S.  Atari  Abbay  at  York  : 
The  which  Place  fi  I  take  y\>elcamu>>  wherwas  an  Hotrfe  of 
Monkes  yn  S.  Botolpbes  Tyme,  and  of  this  fpekith  Bide,  it  is 
fcant  halt  a  Mile  from  the  Minfter. 

The  other  by  Eft  ftreachid  up  toward  Canwike  Villag  half 
a  Mile  of  from  Lincolne. 

Ther  was  alfo  a  Suburbe  beyonde  the  North  gate,  and 
ftreachid  toward  Burton  Village,  or  more  Weftwarde.  King 
Stephane,  as  it  is  faide,  deftroied  much  of  this  Suburbe. 

There  lay  a  Suburbe  alfo  without  the  Barre  gate,  by  Southe 
of  the  Toune,  and  ftreachid  toward  a  Village  caullid  Brafe- 
bridg.  [alitle]  without  I  Barre  is  a  very  fair  [Croffejand  large, 
and  S.  Catarines  ft[andeth  in]  this  Suburbe  on  the  Sou[th

It  is  eafy  to  be  perceivid  That  the  Toune  of  Lincoln  hath 
be  notably  buildid  at  3.  Tymes.  The  firft  Building  was  yn 
the  very  Toppe  of  the  4  Hylle,  the  oldeftPart  wherof  inhabited

ICELAND'S  ITINERARY.  43 

Hilling  Ground  with  a  Dicbe  aboute  it.  it  longid  to  Jfarm 
Eric  of  Surrey :  now  to  the  King. 

From  Sandam  to  IVaktftld  about  a  Mile. 

Thefe  thinges  I  efpecially  notid  in  ffaiefeld. 

The  fiurc  Bridge  of  Stone  of  9.  Arches,  under  the  which 
lennith  the  Ryvtr  of  Caldtr.  And  on  the  Eft  fide  of  this 
Bridge  is  a  right  goodly  Chapel  of  our  Lady  and  2.  Cantuarie 
Preftes  foundid  in  it,  of  the  fundation  of  the  Townes  Men 
as  Ann  lay:  but  the  Dukes  of  Tori  were  taken  as  founders 
for  obteyning  the  Mwrtemayn. 

.   I  hard  one  fay  that  a  fervant  of  King  Edwardes  (the  4.)  fa- 
ther, or  els  of  the  Erie  of  Rutheland*  brother  to  King  Ed-  . 
ward*  the  4.  was  a  great  doer  of  it. 

There  was  a  fore  Batell  faugbt  in  the  fouth  Feeldes  by  Fol.45. 
this  Bridge.  And  yn  the  ike  of  the  Duke  of  Torhs  Parte, 
other  the  Duke  hymfelf^  or  his  Sun  therle  of  Rutbeland, 
was  flayne  a  litle  wove  the  Barres  beyond  the  Bridge  going 
up  into  the  Tonne  of  Walefeli  that  ftandith  ful  fairely  apon 
a  «  dyving  Ground.  At  this  Place  is  fet  up  a  Croffe  in  ret 
mmmam.  The  commune  faying  is  there,  that  the  Erie  wold 
have  taken  ther  a  poore  Woman's  Houfe  for  focour,  and 
<he  for  fore  fliet  the  Dore  and  ftrait  the  Erie  was  killid. 
The  Lord  Clifford  for  killing  of  Men  at  this  Batail  was  caullid 
tbt  Boucher. 

The  Principale  Chirch  that  now  is  vn  JVaktftld  is  but  of  a 
new  Work,  but  it  is  exceding  fair  and  large.  Sum  think  that 
wereas  now  is  a  Chapelle  of  cafe,  at  the  other  ende  of  the    ' 
Toune  was  ons  the  old  Paroch  Chirch. 

The  Vicarage  at  the  Efte  ende  of  the  Chirch  Garth  is  larg 
and  fair.  It  was  the  Perfonage  Houfe  not  very  many  Yeres 
fyns  :  for  he  that  now  lyvith  is  the  4.  or  5.  Vicare  that  hath 
been  there* 

Afore  the  Impropriation  of  this  Benefice  to  S.  Siepbam 
College  at  f^Jhmnfler^  the  Perfonage  was  a  great  Lyving ; 
yn  fo  much  that  one  of  the  Erles  WartmSy  Lordes  of  WakiftuL> 
and  much  of  die  Cuntery  thereabout  did  give  the  Perfonage 
to  a  Sunne  or  nere  Kinfman  of  his :  and  he  made  the  moft 
Parte  of  the  Houfe  wher  the  Vicarage  now  is. 

A  Quarter  of  a  Mile  wkhowte  Jrakefild  apperith  an  Hille 
of  Erth  cafte  up,  wher  fum  fay  that  one  of  Erles  Warims  be* 
gan  to  build,  and  as  ftft  as  he  buildid  violence  of  Winde  de- 
void the  Work.  This  is  like  a  Fable.   Sum  fay  That  it  was

A    DISCOURSE 

Concerning  fome  Antiquities  lately  found  in 

YORKSHIRE. 

In  a  Letter  to  Mr.  Thoresby  of  Leeds. 

With  an  Extract  out  of  Mr.  Thoresby's 
Letter  that  occafion  d  this  Difcourfe. 


The  Extraa  out  of 
Mr.  TfiORESBr'S  Letter. 


As  the  Servants  of  Mr.  Ellis  of  Kiddal  (Father  to  the 

prefent  High- Sheriff  of  the  County)  were  plowing  at  a 
place  caJJed  Ofmondtbic i,  near  the  noted  Bramhammoor,  they 
difttover'd  5  or  6  brafs  Inftruments,  which  are  of  different 
fizes,  from  little  more  than  3  to  4^  inches  in  length,  and 
from  it  to  2  J  in  breadth.  They  are  fomewhat  in  the  form 
of  a  Wedge,  as  proceeding  from  a  thin  edge,  which,  after 
fo  many  ages,  is  tolerably  fliarp,  to  \\  or  2  inches  at  the 
thicker  end,  where  they  are  hollowed  to  put  upon  a  Shaft. 
Each  of  them  has  an  Ear  or  Loop,  which  that  you  may  the 
better  perceive  the  form  of,  I  have  added  the  rude  Draught 
of  one  that  I  procured  for  this  Repofitory.  Some  fuppofe 
them  to  have  been  Arrows  beads,  or  Axes  of  the  antient 
BritainS)  others  of  the  Reman  Catapult*.  I  think  they  are 
as  much  too  light  for  the  laft,  as  they  are  too  heavy  for  the 
firft.    I  rather  take  them  to  have  been  the  heads  of  Spears

which  there  are  feveral  defcri-

die  Size,  viz.  18  inches  long, 
whereas    of    thofe  in  Wah$ 
fome  were  12  others  24.  The 
hilt  feems  to  have  been  of 
wood,  being  wholy  confumed, 
to  which  it  has  been  faften'd 
by  four  larger  and  two  leffer 
nails,  as  appears  by  the  holes 
yet  entire.    And  now  that  I 
am  upon  this  Subjed,  I  have

lefs  then  $ }  inches  long  from 
the  heel  to  the  middle  of  the  Rowell  5   but  this,  which  is

they  did  take  notice  of  them,  yet  they  were  not  fo 
curious  as  to  put  down  the  feveral  Defcriptions  of  them,  nor 
to  conflder  their  true  ufe.    Since  his  Excellency  Baron  Span- 
heinis  Book  and  other  Works  of  the  fame  kind  were  publifli'd, 
Scholars  have  been  more  inquifitive  after  thefe  Relicts ;  and 
from  the  infinite  Numbers  dug  up  amongft  us  divers  Places 
that  were  of  note  in  the  times  of  the  Romans,  but  are  now 
quite  deftroy'd,  have  been  found  out,  which  Mr.  Camden 
knew  nothing  of  in  his  time  for  want  of  thefe  Dif cover  its. 
Add  to  this  that  the  Antiquity  of  feme  other  Towns  may  be 
carried  by  thefe  Helps  much  higher  than  he  has  done  in  his 
rejpe&ive  Difcourfcs  o(  them;  and  particularly  Witney  within

Silver  (according  to  the  Cuftom  of  that  time )  in  honour  of

am.  Thro'  the  Ignorance  of  divers  that  lijjht  upon  thefe  old 
Monuments  it  is  that  many  of  them  are  quite  deftroy'd  j  but 
then  there  are  not  wanting  feveral  ingenious  Gentlemen,  who 
out  of  a  natural  Love  to  Antiquity  fpare  no  Co/is  nor  Pains 
to  colled  and  preferve  as  many  as  they  can,  and  are  always 
ready  to  communicate  to  the  Publick  their  Obfervations  upon 
them.  Amongft  thefe  I  defervedly  reckon  your  felf,  who  a* 
you  have  made  a  very  good  Collection,  fo  you  nave  withall  been 
pleafed  to  oblige  the  Learned  World  witn  feveral  curious  Dif- 
courfes  upon  them  in  the  PbibfopbicalTran/a&ions.  You  have 
likewife  been  fo  kind  as  to  favour  me  with  the  Account  of 
fome  of  them ;  and  when  I  was  ingag'd  in  the  Oxford  Edi- 
tion of  Livy  you  took  care  to  tranfinit  to  me  two  Infcriptions> 
which  (hew  that  the  ninth  Legion  of  the  Romans  refided  at

old  Inflruments  which  you  tell  me  were  fome  Months  fince 
found  at  a  Place  call'd  Ofmondtbick  near  Brambam-moer  in 
your  County,  concerning  which  you  defire  I  would  give  you

This  has  been  kept  there  for  feveral  Years  \  but  where  twas

haps it  might  be  procur'd  by  Dr.  Plot  when  he  was  writing 
the  Natural  Hi/lory  of  Stafferdjhire,  where  he  has  fi  men- 
tioned feveral  Inflruments  of  the  fame  kind  dug  up  in  that 
County.  You  have  told  me  that  'tis  your  opinion  that  thefe; 
Inflruments  were  the  Heads  of  Spears  or  Waiting  Staves  of

the  riv&zid  Britain* ;  and  foe  confirmation  of  it  you  refer  me 
to  Mr.  Speed's  Hiftory  of  Groat  Britain  a,  where  he  has  pub- 
liih'd  Che  Figures  of  the  antiont  Britains  both  before  and  after 
they  were  chiliad.  You  acknowledge  however  that  the 
Tops  of  the  Spears  there  zrcfomewhat  different  from  thofe  we 
are  now  considering.  And  indeed  they  are  not  only  fimewhat 
but  altogether  different*  being  exadly  of  the  fame  Make  with 
thofe  we  find  in  the  Columna  Trajant  and  the  Books  that  re- 
prefent  to  us  the  military  Inftruments  of  the  old  Romans* 
Greeks,  &;.'  But  had  they  been  of  fome  Refemhlance,  yet  I 
cannot  fee  that  thefe  Figures  in  Speed  are  of  any  Authority. 
For  tho*  you  guefs  that  they  were  copied  from  old  MSS.  vet 
I -could  never  yet  meet  with  any  MSS.  of  our  Britijh  Hiftory 
that  have  any  fuch  Figures.  It  ever  any  one  had  them  we 
have  reafon  to  prefume  that  other  Books  upon  the  fame  Sub* 
jeft  would  have  retain'd  them ;  at  leaft  we  ought  not  to 
doubt  it  of  Copies  of  the  fame  Author.  That  is  the  method 
obferv'd  in  other  Sorts  of  MSS.  The  Illuminators  were  ge- 
nerally left  at  liberty  as  to  the  ornamental  Parts  of  the  Great 
Letters ;  but  when  any  Figures  were  to  be  deputed  that  fhould 
illuftrate  and  explain  the  Author,  there  they  were  to  be  exacl 
and  punctual,  and  they  had  no  more  allowance  to  alter  them 
than  they  had  to  alter  and  interpolate  the  Text  of  the  Author 
himfelf.  Hence  I  am  inclin'd  to  think  that  thefe  Figures  are 
modern,  and  are  owing  to  Mr.  Speed  himfelf.  'Tis  what  alfo 
himfelf  infinuates  in  the  fame  Chapter,  acknowledging  that 
they  were  adapted  to  the  Descriptions  given  of  the  Britains  in 
anttent  authenttck  Authors.  But  not  to  examin  other  Parti- 
culars, the  Form  of  the  Spears  in  their  Hands  is  not  counte- 
nance by  any  Authority  of  Note.  For  tho'  Htrodian  has 
acquainted  us  that  they  us'd  Jhort  Spears,  yet  he  is  filent  as 
to  the  make  of  them.  Nor  indeed  have  we  any  where  a  good 
Account  of  the  Military  Arms  of  the  Britains.  The  Authors 
tranfmitted  to  Pofterity  by  them  are  modern  in  companion 
of  the  Roman  Writers,  and  are  withal  Romantick  and  not  to 
be  reived  on.  And  as  for  the  Bards  they  took  no  care  to 
tranfmit  to  Pofterity  thefe  Weapons,  or  to  give  us  nice  Rela- 
tions of  their  Countrymen.  'Tis  true,  there  have  been  and 
are  ftill  found  feveral  Inftruments  made  of  Flint,  which  the 
beft  Judges  efteem  to  be  Britijh.  The  Flint  Heads  of  their 
Arrows  are  commonly  call'd  in  Scotland  Elf- Arrows,  as  being

of  this,  and  therefore  to-  evade  the  Force  of  the  Argument*. 
he  makes  *  the  Trojans  to  come  through  Gaul*  which  being 
then,  thinly  inhabited  he  fays  Brute  and  his  Companions  foon 
conquered  it,  built  a  City  and>  continued  there  'till  fuch  time

Britmn*  and  by  that  means  the  Britains  came  to  have  the 
lame  I+anguags*  This  is  his  Hypothecs*  which  is  fo  far  from 
deferring  Approbation^  that  it  does  not  feem  confident  with 
ufual  Prudence*  jux  with  the  other  wife  Afts  that  are  afcrib'd

Brute  would  voluntarily  leave  fo  large  a  Country  as  Gaul  for 
one  that  was  fo  much  lefs.  Jt  is  therefore  moft  likely  that 
the  Britains  had  their  immediate  Original  from  the  Gauls.

126  A  Difcourfe  concerning  feme 

fince  Strabo  *  and  Stephanusfi  mention  a  City  call'd  Gogarenm 
between  Colchis  and  Iberia ;  and  fince  the  City  Hierapolis  in 
Cork-Syria,  according  to  PUnyy,  was  call'd  by  the  Syrians 
Magog ;  'tis  more  probable  that  Magog  feated  himfelf  in  thofe 
Countries,  near  to  which  'tis  agreed  his  Brethren  fettled,  than 
that  he  wandred  fo  far  out  of  the  way  from  them.  Here  I 
cannot  but  take  notice  that  the  Britains  were  like  the  Scythians 
z  frugal  People,  and  their  long  Lives  (they  often  living  to  the 
Age  of  120  Tears)  might  in  great  meafure  be  afcrib'd  to  their 
Temperance,  and  their  Milk  Dyet,  iuft  like  the  Hippomolgs 
mention'd  by  Homer  t.  And  as  Mfciylus  tells  us  that  the  Scy- 
thians were  istouw  fyrmpt  fSt«p«,  a  juft  Nation  and  fed  upon 
f  Horfes  Milk,  in  which  fort  of  Creatures  they  took  no  finall 
pleafurc ;  fo  the  fame  might  be  faid  of  our  antient  Britains* 
who  were  very  Religious  and  obfervM  the  Rules  of  their  Prie/ts9 
liv'd  much  upon  milk  and  Cheefe,  and  took  extraordinary  De- 
light in  Cattle,  whence  perhaps  they  might  affed  to  have  the 
ftgures  of  Beqfts  cut  upon  their  Bodies.  From  what  has  been 
laid  down  I  hope  'tis  plain  that  the  Gauls  and  Britains  were  of 
the  fame  Original.  What  we  have  next  to  do  is  to  fee  what 
Arms  were  us'd  by  the  Gauls.  There  are  feveral  Authors  that 
have  written  of  tne  nature  of  them,  and  particularly  Cluver 
and  Boxhorn.  Their  Names  zttjpatha,  geffum,  (gefum  orga- 
fum)  lancea,  Jparum,  cateia,  mataris,  or  rather  materis,  (not 
matara,  mach*ra,  (&&*%  f&if*9'  f"C*  0r  /K**C*  O  thyreos,  and 
cetrum  or  cetra.  I  {hall  not  here  infift  upon  the  fignification 
dr  reafon  of  the  Names,  but  only  obferve  in  general,  that  the 
geffum  was  a  javelin,  thejbarum,  cateia,  and  mataris  were  dif- 
ferent Sorts  of  Darts,  and  that  the  thyreos  was  an  oblong  and 
the  cetrum  was  a  Jhort  fort  of  Shield.  So  that  the  fpatha  only 
remains  (for  the  nature  of  the  lance  is  well  known)  to  be 
compar'd  with  the  Weapons  we  are  confidering.  'Tis  call'd 
by  the  Italians  Efpada.  From  the  Defcription  that  Ifidort  has 
left  us  of  it,  we  are  inform'd  that  'twas  a  two-edged  Sword9 
with  which  they  cut  and  did  not  thruft.  Whence  'tis  plain 
thefe  Arms  had  not  Jharp  Tops,  agreeable  to  what  Livynhzs 
related  that  their  gladii  were  pnetongi  dc  fine  muctonibus.  Po- 
hbius  has  the  fame  reafon  why  they  did  not  pujh  with  them.

Saxon  or  Danifly  Military  Arms,  yet  I  find  in  Wormius's  Mu- 
fium  m  two  Ctmbrie  Inflruments  with  which  they  have  fome 
Ukenefs.    Thefe  he  tells  us  were  of  Brafs,  and  he  calls  them 
Wedges.    The  larger  of  them  was  five  Inches  in  Length,  and 
three  in  Breadth.    He  is  of  opinion  that  they  were  us'd  in 
the  Wars,  efpecially  when  the  Armies  were  very  near  each 
other,  and  came  to  Hand-blows.   If  they  had  Holes,  by  which 
they  might  have  been  fix'd  to  Helves,  he  would  have  be- 
liev'd  them  to  be  Battle  Axes  ;   but  being  neither  hollow 
(as  ours  are  )  nor  having  no  other  way  of  being  faften'd  to 
other  Inflruments  he  concluded  that  the  name  of  Wedges 
might  be  moft  proper..    A  very  ingenious  Gentleman  fome-

that  the  Romans  never  were  in  this  7fle,  jet  I  fee  no  other 
tea/on  why  it  fhould  be  thought  fo,  than  dutt  die  antient 
Authors  now  remaining  do  not  mention  it.    This  is  only  a 
negative  Argument,  and  what  we  ought  not  to  lay  a  very 
great  ftrefs  upon.     The  Urns  feem  clearly  to  evince  that 
they  were  there.    They  are  bfientimes  alledg'd  to  (hew  that 
the  Romans  had  Stations  in  other  Places  than  thofe  accounted 
for  in  the  common  Editions  of  Antoninufs  Itinerary j    even 
in  thofe  whereof  there  is  no  mention  in  the  Anonymous  Raven- 
na s.    t  know  indeed  that  'tis  faid  that  thefe  urns  muft  be 
perfeftly  Danijh,  by  reafon  of  the /mall  Had  Bones  and  Ajhes 
found  in  them ;   which  however  is  no  Jure  Ground  to  go 
upon.    For  I  have  feen  in  the  Bodlejan  Kepofoory  a  piece  of 
a  Roman  Urn  which  was  dug  up  fevend  Tears  ago  at  ah  old 
Roman  Town  in  England,  with  many  others,  fome  of  which 
were  of  different  Figures'.    Tis  now  in  a  Box,  and  with'  ft 
are  little  black  Bones,  &c.  Wrapp'd  up  in  two  Pieces  of  courfi 
Linnen.    This  Limten  U  in  the  fame  Figure  with  the  Urn, 
but  the  Urn  for  one  of  the  Pieces  is  wanting.    The  SmdUnels 
of  the  Bones  fhews  that  they  are  the  Relicts  of  Children.    It 
.    was  cuftomary  among  the  Romans  after  the  Bodies  were  burnt 
to  wafh  the  Bones  with  Wine  and  Milk,  and  afterwards  th6 
Women  wrapt  their  Children  in  Linnen,  dr/d  them  in  their 
Bo/cms,  and  then  put  them  into  Urn*  to  be  bury'd.    This 
Cujlom  was  alfo  peculiar  to  the  Danes,  who  learn'd  it  from 
the  Romans,  from  whom  likewife  they  received  Urn-Burial 
it  felf.    Such  Urns  too  are  mention'd  by  the  famous  Sir  Tho- 
mas Browne  to  have  been  found  at  Oli  Walfmgham  d  in  Tori- 
Jhire.  And  perhaps  thofe  found  fome  time  ago  in  the  Borough 
of  Southwari  fi  ( by  London )  were  of  the  fame  Sort j   and 
others  found  at  Camulodunum,  which  Dr.  Gale  reckons  y  to' 
be  WaUen,  and  not  Maldon  according  to  the  common  ac- 
count.   Not  to  mention  thofe  found  at  Durolitum,  which 
the  fame  Author  makes)"  to  be  Leight on -Stone  within  five 
Miles  of  London,  and  not  withhl  fifteen  Miles,  as  in  the  cor- 
rupt Copies  of  Antoninus.    Nor  is  the  Roman  Hijlory  alto- 
gether filent  of  the  IJle  of  Man's  being  known  to  the  Ro- 
mans.    For  Plutarch  i  expreftly  tells  us  that  one  Demetrius

Adrian.  I  have  alfo  feen  an  old  *  Manufcript  of  Solinus  Poly- 
hifior  belonging  to  the  Library  of  Grejbam-Collegc,  in  which 
there  is  an  tntire  Cbapttr  relating  to  Ireland,  not  exftant  ( I 
think  )  in  the  common  Editions,  which,  if  genuine  and  not 
taken  from  GyraUus  Cambrenfis,  will  plainly  prove  that  In- 
land was  known  to  and  frequented  by  the  Romans  in  his 
time.  But  I  have  not  yet  had  a  proper  opportunity  of  tran- 
fcribing  and  confidering  it.  'Tis  no  wonder  that  Runick  In- 
fcriptions  are  difcover'd  in  the  Places  where  Roman  Urns  are 
found.  Thofe  Infcriptions  might  have  been  made  upon  other 
Occafions  after  the  Ifle  of  Man  became  in  future  Ages  inha- 
bited by  Dams  and  Norwegians .  The  fame  Accident  has 
fometimes  happen'd  in  England.  And  Mr.  Camden  particu- 
larly relates  in  the  clofe  of  his  Difcourfe  concerning  Stone- 
Hengi  that  in  the  time  of  King  Henry  VIII.  was  found  at 
Stone-Henge  a  Table  of  mixt  Metal,  on  which  were  ingrav'd 
many  Letters*  but  the  Character  was  fo  Jlrange  that  neither 
Sir  Thomas  Efyot,  nor  Mr.  Lilly,  the  famous  Scbool-mq/ler  of 
St.  Paul's,  could  tell  what  to  make  of  them,  and  fo  there 
was  no  care  taken  to  preferve  the  Monument,  the  Lofs  of 
which  was  afterwards  much  lamented  by  Olaus  Wormius,  who 
thought  it  to  be  Runick,  as  without  queftion  it  was  :  and 
yet  Stone-Henge  it  felf  is  a  Roman  Work,  as  has  been  made 
out  by  Mr.  Inigo  Jones,  who  though  he  was  confuted  by  the 
late  Learned  Dr.  Cbarleton,  yet  Mr.  Jones's  opinion  was 
very  well  defended  by  Mr.  John  Webb,  who  has  in  his  Book 
diftin&ly  examined  the  Methods  made  ufe  of  both  by  the  Ro- 
mans and  the  Danes  in  their  Buildings. 

4.  5.  Having  proceeded  thus  for  in  this  Inquiry, 
and  taew'd  that  thefe  Inftruments  were  not  military    Thefc  Mnmmtt  an 
Arms  either  of  the  Britains,  or  of  the  Saxons,  or  of    *JJ*£  thcTs^Z 
the  Danes,  I  fhall  now  carry  it  on  farther  and  en-    fM,  nor  the  H*ub  of 
deavour  to  prove  that  they  are  owing  to  the  Romans,    sJ***i  or  Jaw&m* 
which  is  what  I  have  before  inOnuated.     I  once    J^^SJ^S 
thought  that  they  were  a  fort  of  Axes  which  the    thentick!  'Twit  one 
Romans  made  ufe  of  in*heir  Sacrifices,  of  which  Dr.    <*thca»tienrButtuUe. 
Plot  takes  notice  of  two  forts,  the  fecures  lapidea 
and  the  fecures  cupre*,  though  Dr-  Leigh  will  have  his  In- 
flames to  be  both  Indian.    Upon  a  more  narrow  confedera-

this  opinion,  not  finding  the  leaft  Footfteps  of  fuch  Axes  in

upon  this  Subjccl  by  Gr*vius  in  his  large  Body  of  Roman  An- 
tiquities. Neither  could  they  have  been  the  Heads  of  Spears  % 
as  is  mahifeft  from  the  fame  Authorities.  The  Roman  Spears 
and  Javelins  occur  very  frequently,  and  yet  not  one  of  them 
either  on  their  Coyns  or  elfewhere  is  to  be  met  with  in  the 
Figure  of  thefe  Inftruments*  *Tis  true,  fome  of  their  Spears 
had  two  Heads,  fo  they  might  ufe  either  End  uppermoft  as 
they  pleas'd.  We  have  one  of  thefe  in  Auguftinus  * •  The 
Heads  differ  from  one  another  ;  but  they  neither  of  them 
anfwer  our  Monuments.  Nor  are  the  molt  antient  Spears  of 
the  Romans  we  meet  with  different  from  thofe  they  made  ufe 
of  in  more  modern  times,  as  may  in  fome  meafurc  be  feen  in 
the  famous  Shield  lately  published  at  Oxford p,  out  of  the

which  is  certainly  authentic^,  notwithftanding  the  Clamours, 
without  any  Proof,  that  have  been  made  againft  it.  It's  An- 
tiquity is  defended  in  the  Place  I  have  cited.  It  may.  here  be 
farther  added  to  what  is  there  alledg'd,  that  Lucius  Florus  y  gives 
us  the  firft  Inftance  of  the  Romans  fighting  upon  Horfes  without 
Bridles ;  and  in  the  Columna  Trcqani  I  the  Horfes  are  plac'd 
in  full  fteed  with  their  Riders  without  any  Bridles  or  other 
Curbs  to  reftrain  and  guide  them,  a  great  many  of  the  Romans 
having  made  themfefves  Matters  of  this  method  of  fighting 
that  they  might  like  the  Numidians  (who  were  famous  for  it) 
be  the  lefs  incumber'd  in  the  Battle,  and  rufh  upon  the  Enemy

of  it's  being  practicable.  And  what  is  related  in  our  own

moft  material  Objection*  befides  this  which  has  been  obviated, 
is  that  it  does  not  Teem  to  have  been  big  enough  for  a  Shield. 
Which  will  be  remov'd,  if  it  be  confider'd,  that  in  all  pro* 
bability  it  was  one  of  the  Roman  BuccuU*  which  were  pro- 
perly Sbieldf*9   and  belonged  to  the  Caffides.    This  fort  of 
Shield  was  oftentimes  lodg'd  in  Temples*  efpecially  fuch  as 
were  confccrated  to  the  honour  of  Juno  Lacinia%  as  may 
partly  appear  from  what  fully  has  related  in  his  firft  Book 
de  Divinatione  fi.     Nor  will  it  therefore  be  anv  wonder  that 
others  of  thefe  BuccuU  were  lodg'd  in  Temples  dedicated  to 
Jupiter  Capitolinus*  and  that  divers  had  on  them  the  Repres- 
entations of  the  famous  A&ion  of  Camillus*  done,  without 
doubt,  at  the  Expenfe  and  by  the  Care  of  fome  of  the  Gens 
Furia.    Now  if  it  be  allow'd  that  this  was  a  Buccula*  it 
might  in  all  likelyhood  have  appertained  to  the  Helmet*  now 
in  poffejjion*  with  a  large  Stock  of  other  valuable  Curiojities* 
of  Mr.  John  Kemp  near  the  Hay-market*  London.     What 
countenances  the  Conjecture  is  that  this  Helmet  (as  I  am  in- 
form'd)  is  of  the  fame  Metal  with  the  Shield,  and  wrought 
with  as  much  Elegance*    This  way  of  adorning  and  furhijb-

upon  as  a  better  fecuriiy  to  have  them  work'd  that  they

perceiv'd  why  thefe  Inftruments  are  hollow,  namely  to  faften

to  have  proceeded  from  the  Stone.  As  for  the  Ears  or  Loops, 
'tis  probable  they  might  be  put  on  that  thereby  the  Handles 
might  be  fix'd  the  better ;  or  perhaps  they  were  defign'd  for 
the  eafe  of  the  Souldiers,  who  in  their  journeys  might  by 
this  means  faften  them  on  their  Girdles,  (which  'tis  likely

Tht  Cujtom  might  prevail  as  well  in  Britain  as  elftwhtre, 
iron  being  not  fo  very  plentiful  in  the  firft  times  of  the  Ro-

Forge  m  was  ere&ed,  and  all  proper  methods  us'd  upon  that, 
occafion.   Mr.  Camden  himfelf  in  pag.  1 37.  of  his  Brit.  (Edit.

retains  were  made  of  Brafs j  and  he  inflances  in  feveral 
that  were  dug  up  at  Mounts-bay  in  Cornwall.  And  'tis  for 
the  fame  reafon  that  the  moft  early  Gale*  were  of  the  fame

immediately,  more  than  that  the  Phugb-Sbares  did  not  fuffer 
the  fame  Damage  in  calling  up  the  Ground  and  grating  againft 
the  Stones  with  more  violence.  The  Brafs  in  thofe  early

SINCE  the  Publication  of  this  Difcourfe  I  find  that 
Begems  y  hath  given  fome  Account  of  the  fame  kind  of 
Inftruments.  He  reckons  them  amongft  the  ancient  celtes9 
which  were  chiefly  made  ufe  of  in  cutting  Infcriptions  upon 
Sepulchral  Monuments.  And  this  Opinion  will  very  well 
agree  with,  and  in  no  fmall  meafure  confirm,  what  I  have 
noted,  viz.  that  they  are  fome  of  the  ancient  Chiflels.  And 
being  found  in  Forreign  Countries,  as  well  as  Britain,  we 
may  from  thence  learn  that  they  are  not  properly  Britijb 
Weapons,  but  rather  Roman. 

Sepulchral  Monuments,  amongft  the  Ramans,  were  look'd 
upon  as  very  facred,  and  fevere  Punifhments  were  inflided 
iupon  fuch  as  prefum'd  to  violate  them.   Which  Mul&s  were

femetimes  pecuniary,  and  Cautions  againft  their  Violation 
are  frequently  given  in  the  Infcriptions  themfelves  to  fuch  as

140  A  Difiourfe  concerning  feme 

It  may  be  farther  noted  that  not  only  the  Stones,  but  even 
the  Ground  for  fuch  a  Diftance  was  efteem'd  as  holy.    For 
this  reafon  we  have  in  old  Monuments  fo  many  Feet  in  agr* 
fcf  in  fronte.  Since  therefore  Funeral  Monuments  were  held 
fo  facred,  'tis  no  wonder  that  the  moft  facred  Sort  of  Metal 
was  imploy'd  in  cutting  and  ingraving  the  Inscriptions  upon 
them.    The  depth  of  the  Letters  required  no  great  Force  in 
the  Operation,  at  leaft  not  a  greater  than  was  confident  with 
the  Strength  of  fuch  a  Metal.  But  allowing  this,  why  fhould 
the  Romans  ufe  it  on  other  occasions,  namely  in  paving  the 
High-Ways  and  in  forming  their  Camps,  when  Iron,  a  more 
proper  Metal,  might  be  fo  eafily  procured  by  them  ?   Several 
curious  Obfervations  and  Reflections  might  be  made  in  Re- 
ply to  this  Queftion ;  but  all  I  fhall  fay  in  anfwer  to  it  is,  that 
the  Romans  were  a  very  Religious  People,  and  they  thought 
that  the  more  venerable  for  it's  Sacrednefs  the  Metal  they 
made  ufe  of  was,  fo  much  the  more  profperous  the  Works 
they  rais'd  by  the  help  of  it  would  be.    Apollo,  Mars  and 
Mercury,  as  well  as  the  other  Gods,  appear  frequently  amongft 
thofe  Figures  on  Monuments  of  Antiquity  that  are  owing  to 
the  Romans.  This  is  wholly  to  be  attributed  to  their  Religion. 
And  'tis  a  notable  inftance  of  it  that  we  have  in  the  Stunsfield 
teflellated  Pavement,  where  Apollo  Sagittarius  (who,  for  the 
Affiftance  he  is  fuppos'd  to  have  given  in  Military  Affairs,  in 
an  Infcription  in  the  learned  Mr.  Gale's  valuable  Edition 
of  Antoninus*  is  ftyl'd  Mars  BelatvcaDrvs)  is  re- 
prefented  with  a  Jaculum  in  one  Hand,  and  a  Patera  (made 
like  a  Cantbarus)  in  the  other,  thereby  (hewing  bow  necef- 
fary  it  is  that  even  in  Matters  of  War  the  Offices  of  Religion 
fhould  be  ftri&ly  obferv'd,.*nd  that  no  A£tion  of  that  Kind 
fhould  be  undertaken  without  paying  the  greateft  Adoration 
to,  and  having  the  moft  profound  Reverence  for,  the  Gods, 
particularly  for  fuch  as  were  fuppos'd  to  intereft  themfelves 
more  nearly  upon  fuch  occafions.   It  nuift  indeed  be  allow'd 
that  Brafs  (as  we  ufe  it  now)  was  not  fo  fit  for  cutting  and 
polifhing  fuch  Stone?  as  wcjc  of  a  more  hard  and  firm  Sub- 
ltance.   But  then  (not  to  take  notice  that  our  Inftrument  in 
the  Bodlbjan  Repofitory  is  very  much'  blunted  and  bro- 
ken in  the  Operation  to  which  it  had  been  imploy'd)  we  are 
withal  to  confider  that  they  had  fuch  ways  of  tempering  it  as 
would  render  it  capable  of  undergoing  the  utmoft  Violence. 
This  method  I  mention'd  before.  'Tia  call'd  temperatura  du*

tempering  it  been  of  old  time  in  very  great  Perfe&ion,  'tis 
not  conceivable  how  or  why  all  their  Arms  fhould  be  made 
of  Brafe,  as  without  doubt  they  were.  The  Scripture  tells  ^  us 
that  Goliah's  Helmet,  Boots  (or  Greaves)  and  Shield  were  all 
of  Brafe.  Upon  which  occafion  Chiffietius  notes  s  that  all  the 
Military  Inftruments  were  of  Brafs,  at  the  fame  time  obferving 
that  they  had  a  particular  way  of  tempering  it,notwithftanding 
loft  afterwards.  And  this  is  confirm'd  from  the  Parian  Chro- 
nicle in  which  'tis  noted  that  Iron  was  not  found  out  'till  about 
1 86.  Years  before  the  Trojan  War.  Upon  which  Account

all  that  Candour  and  Modefty  which  becomes  a  good  Chri-

Hull  here  fubjoyn. 

Sir, 

Having  read  over  your  elaborate  Edition  of  Leland's  Iti- 
nerary to  the  End  of  the  Fifth  Vol.  (for  which  the  curious, 
especially  fuch  as  ftudy  our  Englifh  Antiquities,  are  much 
obliged  to  you)  I  find  it  adorned  with  a  great  many  learned 
Remarks  upon  the  Antiquities  of  feveral  Counties,  moft  of 
your  own,  and  Come  communicated  toyou  by  Friends,  which 
add  a  very  great  Luftre  to  the  Work.  This  has  induced  me  to 
look  over  fome  difperfed  Papers  relating  to  a  few  of  the  An- 
tiquities that  1  have obferv'd  in  the  Weft-Riding  of  Yorldhire, 
which  I  had  chiefly  taken  notice  of  fome  Years  ago.  If  they 
will  be  ferviceable  to  you  in  any  refped,  I  give  you  free  li- 
berty of  making  what  ufe  of  them  you  pleafe ;  tho'  I  wifh  I 
had  time  to  reduce  them  into  that  agreeable  Method,  as 
might  render  them  fit  for  .the  Publick.  The  Obfervations 
are  tuft,  and  fuch  as  you  may  depend  upon.  Mr.  Camden 
has  left  us  a  very  flight  Account  of  the  Weft-Riding  of  York- 
shire, especially  of  that  Part  joyning  upon  Lancalhire,  which 
affords  as  many  Curiofities  both  of  Art  and  Nature  as  any 
Part  of  England,  and  doubtlefc  would  afford  as  great  Satis- 
faction to  any  diligent  and  learned  Inquirer. 

Of  Britifh  Antiquities,  that  are  certainly  fuch,  I  can  give 
but  a  very  flendtr  Account,  only  I  have  feveral  Heads  of 
I>arts  that  are  Flints  of  feveral  Colours  found  here  by  plough- 
ing, and  are  looked  upon  as  Britifh.  And  I  have  met  with 
feveral  Britifh  Words  that  are  ftill  in  ufe,  fuch  as  Laghton 
for  a  Garden,  which  I  take  to  be  a  Bed,  or  Hillock,  of  Leeks ; 
KauntSy  a  barren  and  fteep  piece  of  waft  Ground,  which 
feems  to  me  to  be  a  Derivative  from  the  Irifh  Word  Kuanna> 
a  Mountain  \  befides  many  others,  which  I  cannot  now  re* 
member :  tho'  I  doubt  not  but  a  much  greater  number  may 
be  difcoveied  by  any  Perfon  skilled  in  the  Britifh  Language. 

I  have  now  by  me  one  of  thofe  Brafs  Inftruments  found  at 
Kiddale,  and  given  me  by  William  Ellis  Efq; ,  Proprietor  of 
the  Place,  which  feems  exadly  to  agree  with  the  Draught 
font  you  by  Mr.  Thoresby,  upon  which  you  have  with  much 
Learning  and  Judgment  given  us  your  thoughts j  but  (with 

Submiffion 


S44  ^  Dijcourfi  csuurningfin 

Submiffion  to  much  better  Judges)  I  am  induced  to  thinly 
that  thefe  Inftruments  did  not  belong  to  the  Romans,  nor 
were  imployed  to  any  ufe  yet  affigned  them :  and  that  they 
were  not  the  Heads  of  ftaves  belonging  to  the  Britains  (as 
Mr.  Thoresby  believes )  I  think  you  have  given  full  Satis- 
faction. 

That  thefe  Inftruments  were  caft  in  a  Mould  is  very  evi- 
dent, not  only  by  the  Seams  on  the  Sides,  but  by  the  very 
Sand  in  which  they  were  caft,  this  of  mine  being  very  nigh 
half  filled  with  it.  The  Compofitian  I  take  to  be  the  fame 
with  our  Brafs  Pots,  and  to  confift  of  two  Parts  of  courfe 
Copper,  and  one  of  Lead.  Thefe  Inftruments  are  alfo  too 
much  hollowed,  and  too  thin,  to  be  imployed  for  cutting  of 
Wood  or  Stone.  And  withal  being  fixed  to  a  Handle  or 
Shaft,  they  muft  be  driven  into  Wood  or  Stone  by  the  force 
of  a  Hammer ;  which  great  force  not  only  the  Brittlenefs 
ahd  Softnefs  of  the  Metal  doth  not  admit  of,  but  they  muft 
alfo  by  fuch  Violence  be  burft  in  Pieces.  And  befides  I  do 
not  fee  why  we  fhould  afiign  fuch  fervile  ufes  to  a  Metal 
fo  facred  to  the  Romans,  when  this  part  of  Britain  affords 
one  much  fitter  for  the  purpofe  you  imploy  thefe  Inftru- 
ments to.  That  Iron  was  made  in  this  Neighbourhood  in 
the  time  of  the  Romans  a  late  Difcovery  has  fufficiently 
convinced  mc.  Upon  removing  a  heap  of  Cinders  to  repair 
the  High* Ways  withal,  a  good  Quantity  of  Copper  Roman 
Coyns  were  discovered,  feme  of  which  I  have  now  in  my 
poffefEon.  Thefe  were  of  Conftantine,.  Conftantius,  Dio- 
cletian, and  of  the  Ufurper  Caraufius.  This  Coifntry  a- 
bounds  with  fuch  heaps  of  Cinders,  though  we  have  not  fo 
much  as  any  Tradition  that  ever  Iron  was  made  there* 
That  the  Romans  underftood  the  Tempering  of  Steel  to  a 
very  great  Nicety  the  ftately  Monuments  of  Granate  and 
Porphyry  ftill  at  Rome  are  Evidence  for  us.  If  it  be  al- 
lowed that  the  Romans  made  Iron  in  thefe  Parts,  and  un- 
derftood the  Tempering  of  it,  I  do  not  fee  why  a  left  fit 
Metal,  and  alfo  of  more  Value,  fhould  be  fubftitute  to  it. 
But  I  muft  ftill  own  my  felf  at  a  lofs  to  apply  a  proper 
ufe  to  them,  though  I  am  not  fatisfyed  with  any  that  has 
been  affigned.  The  laft  Summer  I  met  with  a  MS.  Account 
d*  jfntiquitatibus  InfuUe  Mona  in  the  Hands  of  my  worthy 
and  learned  Friend  Mr.  Fowke  nigh  Ruthin  in  Denbyfhire, 
fent  him  to  perufe  by  Mr.  Rowland  a  Clergyman  of  An- 
glefey,  and  Author  of  it,  in  which  I  found  the  defigns  of  fo- 
veral  Brafs  Inftruments  of  the  fame  Form  with  ours,  having 

alfo 


Antiquities  found  in  Yoric-fliire;  145 

alb  a  Loop  at  die  Side,  though  not  a  fourth  part  fo  large. 
Thefe  were  found  in  Anglefey,  and  by  him  taken  to  be  die 
Heads  of  Britifh  Darts.  Though  I  cannot  believe  that  thefe 
of  ours  were  ever  rmployed  to  that  ufe,  yet  I  am  inclinable 
to  think  they  are  Remains  of  the  lame  People.  And  if  li- 
berty of  Conjedure  may  be  allowed,  perhaps  they  have 
been  Axes  ufed  in  facrificing  fome  of  the  fmaller  Quadru- 
peds by  the  ancient  Britains,  and  might  have  been  fixed  to 
a  crooked  Handle  after  the  manner  here  meanly  defigned, 
the  Loop  on  the  Side  ferving  to  make  the  Inftrument  more 
firm  by  putting  a  Wire  through  it,  and  tying  it  to  the  Shaft; 
but  this  I  wholly  fubmit  to  your  Judgment.

As  for  Roman  Antiquities,  that  are  certainly  fuch,  there 
have  been  great  Quantities  of  their  Coyn  difcovered  in  this 
Neighbourhood  within  the  memory  of  Man  5  but  none  of 
very  early  Date.  The  firft  I  met  with  was  difcovered  at 
Sowerby  within  the  Parifh  of  Hallyfax,  a  little  above  the 
Town,  nigh  the  High-Way,  and  fome  of  them  were  given 
me  by  Mr.  John  Hargraves  of  Hallyfax,  one  of  Nerva,  one 
of  Vefpafian,one  of  Trajan,  and  one  of  Hadrian,  all  of  Silver, 
and  well  preferved,  but  nothing  material  in  their  Reveries. 
About  twenty  Years  agoe  were  found  feveral  Hundreds  of 
Coyns  of  the  following  Emperors  nigh  Heaton  within  the 
Parifh  of  Burftall,  in  a  Field  called  Hedlefhaw.    Being  Pro- 

Srictor  of  the  Place,  great  Quantities  of  them  (all  ofmixt 
fetal)  came  to  my  Hands,  viz.  of  Heliogabalus,  Severus 
Vol.I.  K  Alexander, 


146  A  Difcourfi  concerning  fomt 

Alexander,  Gallienus,  Gallus,  Philippus,  Decius,  Gordianus 
Pius,  the  Ufurper  Poftumus*  and  of  feveral  others  which  I 
have  not  time  to  look  out.  There  were  alio  not  long  fince 
divers  large  Copper  Medals  found  at  Hoveldge  within  the 
Townfhip  of  Hipperholme  in  a  thick  Glafs  Veflel.  Thofe  I 
got  were  of  Dioclefian,  Alledus  and  Caraufius,  and  doubtlefs 
there^  were  divers  others,  tho'  they  were  difperfed  before  I 
had  intelligence  of  them.  Some  alfo  of  later  Date  I  was 
fliown  not  long  agoe  found  fallen  from  a  Precipice  of  Stain- 
land,  but  much  defaced  by  time.  Tho'  we  have  many  Bar- 
rows within  the  Cumpace  often  Miles  from  this  Place,  yet  I 
dare  not  affirm  any  of  them  to  be  Roman,  no  Remains  of 
that  Nation  being  found  nigh  them  that  have  come  to  my 
knowledge. 

Mr.  Camden  places  Olacana  at  Ilkley,  and  die  diftance  from 
Ifurium  agrees  with  his  opinion.  The  Roman  Altar  alfo  found 
there  and  the  Allufion  to  the  Name  contribute  to  confirm  it. 
But  then  there  is  this  to  be  faid  againft  it»  that  tho*  I  have 
made  great  Inquiries,  yet  I  cannot  find  that  ever  zxk  Me- 
dals, Urns,  or  any  other  Antiquities  of  that  kind  have  been 
difcovered  at  this  Place.  So  that  I  began  to  queftion  the 
truth  of  Mr.  Camden's  Opinion,  'till  of  late  meeting  with  the 
Reverend  Mr.  Roberts  Redor  of  Linton  in  Craven,  and  in- 
.  quiring  whether  he  had  met  with  any  thing  remarkable  nigh 
that  Place,  he  told  me  he  had  obferved  a  paved  Way  of  an 
unufual  Breadth  betwixt  Hainworth  and  Cullingwortn  in  the 
Parifh  of  Bingley,  which  doubtlefs  mult  have  been  a  Roman 
Way.  It  appears  there  bare,  being  above  twelve  Feet 
broad,  and  neatly  fet  of  fuch  Stones  as  the  Place  afforded. 
It's  Statelinefs  (hows  it's  Original,  and  you  may  trace  it 
where  the  Ground  is  pretty  hard,  a  Ridge  appeanng  higher 
than  the  Surface  of  the  Earth  in  fome  Places  bein^  only  co- 
vered with  Grafs,  tho'  I  have  been  informed  that  it  is  often 
met  with  at  feveral  Feet  deep  upon  the  Moors  in  digging  for 
Piers.  It  crofles  the  Height  of  Harding  Moor,  where  it  is 
vifible  in  feveral  Places,  and  points  at  a  Place  called  the 
Moor  Houfe  above  Morton,  and  appears  again,  as  I  have  been 
told,  .upon  Rumlefsmoore,  and  thence  lead&to  Ilkley.  Nigh 
this  Way  upon  the  Moor  before  mentioned  are  two  large 
heaps  of  Stones  called  Skirts  of  Stones  y  one  of  them  ftill  of  a 
Conical  Figure,  but  much  the  lefler.  '  From  the  other  have 
been  removed  vaft  Quantities  of  Stone  imployed  in  walling 
the  Neighbouring  Inclofures  within  the  memory  of  Man. 
The  Remainders  are  now  thrown  abroad,  and  cover  a  con- 

fiderable 


Antiquities  found  in  York-fhire.  147 

fiderable  piece  of  Ground.   If  thefe  had  been  heaps  of  Earth, 
or  fo  much  as  covered  with  Earth,  being  fo  nigh  the  Way, 
I  fhould  have  believed  them  to  have  been  tumult  of  the  Ro- 
mans.   But  being  only  heaps  of  Stones,  I  (hall  fufpend  my 
thoughts  till  I  am  informed  that  the  Romans  ever  ere&ed 
fuch  Monuments  over  their  Dead.    Ilkley  now  is  a  very 
mean  Place,  and  chiefly  famous  for  a  cold  Well  which  has  done 
very  remarkable  Cures  in  fcrophulous  Cafes  by  bathing  in, 
and  drinking  of,  it.   The  laft  (hows  it  to  be  a  Vitriolike  Wa- 
ter, tho*  I  have  made  no  farther  Tryal  of  it.    The  Stones 
Mr.  Camden  obferved  in  the  Church- Yard  are  now  broken 
down,  and  much  defaced,  tho'  fome  Fragments  of  them  ftill 
remain  in  the  adjoyning  Walls,  and  upon  one  of  them  is  * 
placed  a  Dyal,  on  the  Weft  Side  of  which  is  an  human  Fi- 
gure (tho9  much  injured  by  time)  with  a  Glory  about  his  Head, 
which  fhows  theic  Monuments  not  to  be  of  that  Antiquity 
Mr.  Camden  makes  them,  and  not  to  claim  a  farther  Date 
than  that  of  Chriftianity  in  Britain.    Perhaps  this  might  have 
been  the  Tutelar  Saint  of  the  Place.    But  I  take  them  to  be 
of  the  fame  kind,  and  ereded  upon  the  fame  account  with 
thofe  Dr.  Plot  has  obferved  ereded  in  the  like  places  in 
Stafibrdfhire.    Upon  the  Tops  of  Harding  Moor,  not  far 
from  the  above  mentioned  Way,  was  fhown  me  by  Benja- 
min F&rand  Efq;  another  Skirt  of  Stones,  much  lefs  than  the 
two  former,  and  nigh  it  a  Row  of  Stones  placed  in  a  Line 
nigh  200.  Paces  in  length  5  but  few  of  them  appear  above 
two  Feet  above  the  Heath,  and  fome  lye  hid  under  it.    That 
thefe  Stones  were  placed  here  by  deiign  no  Perfon  that  fees 
diem  can  doubt ;   but  for  what  End  1  cannot  conjecture, 
having  never  feen  any  thing  of  this  kind  before.  There  is  no 
Tradition  of  them*    Befides  being  out  of  all  Roads,  they  are 
known  to  few.    Tis  probable  the  Way  that  leads  to  Ilkley 
may  be  found  upon  die  Moors  leading  from  thence  to  Ifu- 
rium,  now  Aldburrough,  nigh  which  rlace  are  to  be  feen 
thofe  noble  Antiquities  the  DeviFs  Arrows^  which  I  have 
feveral  times  beheld  with  much  Admiration,  and  had  lately 
an  opportunity  of  taking  their  exaft  Dimenfions,  which  I  do 
not  remember  I  have  any  where  obferved  before.      The 
tailed  of  them  is  now  24.  Feet  above  Ground,  and  in  cir- 
cumference at  the  Bafis  about  18.  Feet.    The  fecond  about 
J.  Feet  lower,  and  nigh  the  Bafis  pretty  much  of  the  fame 
ignefs.    The  third,  which  is  much  the  largeft,  tho9  lower 
than  the  fecond  by  3.  Feet,  is  above  24.  Feet  in  circumfe- 
rence at  the  Bafis.    The  Form  of  all  thefe  is  alike  from  Top 
K  2  to 


148  A  Difeourfe  tenanting  fimi  • 

to  Bottom,  being  pcrfcd  Parallelograms.  The  Tops  have 
fuffered  very  much  by  Weather.  How  thefe  came  to  be 
called  rude  and  unpouihed  Stones,  I  know  not.  But  any 
Perfon  upon  fight  of  them  mufi  confcfe  the  contrary.  That 
they  are  artificial  Stones  muft  alfo  be  acknowledged  an  Er- 
ror, being  of  the  fame  fort  of  Gritt  our  Mill-Stones  are  ufual- 
ly  made  of.  And  indeed  of  this  fort  of  courfe  Stone  moft  of 
toe  Bafs  Relievo's,  Altars,  and  Roman  Buildings  now  ex- 
fiant  are  made.  I  fuppofe  the  impoffibility  of  removing  thefe 
Stones  from  far  was  the  occafion  that  they  were  looked  upon 
to  be  artificial,  and  made  upon  the  Place,  there  being  no 
Quarries  of  Stone  of  this  kind  within  ten  Miles  of  the  Place 
where  they  are  ereded.  One  of  them  now  (lands  in  a  Gar- 
den, and  when  I  took  the  Dimenfions  the  Gardener  told  me 
he  had  dug  to  the  Bottom  of  it,  and  faid  it  was  feven  Feet 
within  Ground,  not  ftanding  upon  any  Pedeftal,  but  had  a 
round  Bottom.  The  Ground  being  then  loofe,  at  my  requeft, 
he  dug  three  or  four  Feet  deep,  where  the  Stone  appeared 
wrought  by  Art,  the  Impreflion  of  the  Tool  being  ftill  to  be 
feen.  So  that  I  am  fatisned  that  the  Inequalities  that  appear 
upon  thefe  Monuments  are  purely  the  Effe&s  of  Time.  I 
could  not  hear  of  any  Medals,  or  any  other  Remains  found 
nigh  them  that  might  give  us  a  clear  Infight  to  what  Nation 
they  belonged  5  but  being  within  a  Mile  of  Ifurium  (an  un- 
doubted Roman  Colony)  and  alfo  nigh  the  Watling-Street, 
we  may  reafonably  imagin  them  to  be  Remains  of  the 
fame  People.  Againft  this  there  lyes  one  material  Obje&on, 
(viz.)  If  thefe  be  Trophies  of  the  Komans9  fei  up  in  memory  of 
fome  remarkable  Viclory  over  the  Britains9  why  Jhould  they  not 
have  endeavoured  to  perpetuate  it  by  fome  Infcriptionf  which 
the  Romans  were  vain-glorious  enough  to  do  every  where  upon 
the  like  and  left  Occafions  f  But  the  Regularity  of  thefe  Mo- 
numents {how  that  they  belonged  to  fome  polite  Nation, 
which  we  cannot  allow  the  Britains  to  be,  'till  they  became 
Scholars  to  the  Romans.  And  of  lower  Date  no  Antiquary 
will  allow  them  to  be.  In  Heaton  Fields,  nigh  the  HedJe- 
fhaw  where  the  Roman  Coyns  before  mentioned  were  found, 
is  a  high  piece  of  Ground  called  Stun/leads^  where  have  been 
ploughed  up  feveral  Coyns  (one  of  Septim:  Severus,  and 
one  of  Pertinax,  both  of  Silver,  I  have  now  by  me  )  and  alfo 
Foundations  of  Buildings.  I  have  fometime  thought  this  was 
Cambodunum,  but  that  the  diftance  from  Calcaria  to  Cam- 
bodunum  (which  Mr.  Camden  makes  to  be  Almondbury) 
afllgned  by  Antoninus  feeras  more  agreeable.    But  fince  I 

have 


Antiquities  found  in  York-Aire.  14^ 

lave  mentioned  Almondbury,  I  tfrHl  endeavour  to  give  you 
a  better  Idea  of  the  Place  than  has  hitherto  been  done. 
In  the  Town  I  never  met  with  any  thing  remarkable. 
Neither  upon  Inquiry  have  I  heard  of  any  Altars,  Urns, 
or  any  kind  of  vaja,  or  Medals,  that  have  been  found  nigh 
it,  which  might  farther  confirm  Mr,  Camden's  Opinion. 
Caftle  Hill  ftands  at  a  good  diftance  from  the  Town,  and  I 
believe  was  the  chief  motive  to  fix  this  Station  here.  The 
Top  of  the  Hill,  which  feems  to  contain  five,  or  fix,  Acres  of 
Ground  is  furrounded  with  a  large  Bank  of  Earth,  which  re* 
mains  pretty  intire  to  this  Day.  The  Area,  which  is  of  an 
oblong  Figure,  inclines  to  the  Eaft,  where  it  was  only  ac- 
ceffible.  This  Area  is  fubdivided  into  three  by  two  deep 
Ditches,  that  upon  any  Attack  the  befieged  might  retreat 
from  the  firft  Area  to  the  fecond,  which  is  higher,  and  fecured 
by  a  Ditch,  and  fo,  upon  Cafe  of  Neceffity,  to  the  third  which 
Commands  both  the  other,  upon  which  a  Beacon  now  ftands. 
Mr.  Camden  mentions  the  Foundation  of  a  Caftle  in  this 
Place  ;  but  I  am  certain  if  ever  there  was  one,  it  muft  have 
been  before  the  Hill  was  fecured  by  this  Bank  of  Earth, 
which,  as  I  have  faid  before,  incompaffes  the  whole  Hill, 
and  feems  to  be  it's  chief  Barrier.  There  is  now  in  an  Inclo- 
fure  nidi  Kirkleys  (within  four  Miles  of  Almondbury)  the 
Seat  of  Sir  John  Armytage  Baronet,  a  Camp  of  a  fquare 
Form  containing  two,  or  three  Acres  of  Ground,  fecured  J>y 
a  Bank  of  Earth  and  a  Ditch,  which  has  given  Name  to  the 
Ground,  being  called  Caftle  Field,,  tho'  there  was  never  any 
Building  in  it.  Nigh  Cullingworth  before  mentioned  there 
is  a  Camp  of  a  circular  Form  called  now  Ca/flt-Jieadj  tho9 
I  am  fatisfyed  there  was  never  any  Building  there.  There  is 
one  of  this  kind  upon  Thorton  Height,  and  another  upon 
Wike  More  of  the  fame  Form.  From  whence  it  appears 
that  thefe  Places  of  Defence  were  called  Caftles,  tho'  never 
any 'Building  there  ereded.  I  am  induced  to  believe  that 
Caftle  Hill  was  a  Fortification  of  the  fame  kind,  and  no- 
thing more. 

The  Cuftom  of  calling  Perfons  only  by  their  Chriftian 
Names,  and  the  Place  of  Abode  of  either  Father  or  Grand- 
Father  without  naming  any  Sir-Names  is  much  in  ufe  in  the 
Parifh  of  Hallyfax  (a  Place  of  great  Extent)  efpecially  nigh 
Heptonftall,  as  v.  g.  Richard  of  Chriftophers,  of  the  Green- 
wood, Richard  of  Williams,  of  Roberts,  of  the  Hoohale. 
So  that  a  Perfon  may  dwell  amongft  them  for  fome  Years,

and  not  know  their  Sir-Names;  This  feems  to  me  to  be 
introduced  by  the  Saxons. 

This  is  the  Subftance  of  what  I  have  met  with  amongft 
fome  negledted  Papers,  and  alio  what  at  prefent  occurs  to 
my  memonr.  If  I  meet  with  any  thing  farther  worth  your

Months  after  he  bad  been  generoufly  slewed  to  a  profitable 
Poft  by  tbe  Univirfity  of  Oxford.  After  Mr.  Davies's 
Death,  bis  Library  fell  into  the  Hands  of  bis  Son,  an  ingeni- 
ous, worthy  young  Gentleman,  tab*  as  ie  is  of  the  [ami  com-

food  retsfon  to  hope  that  be  will  oblige  me  witb  tbe  uje  ef  Mr. 
tow's  Tranfcript.  If  be  JbaU  pltafe  to  grant  fiub  a  favour 
U  one  that  is  utterly  a  Stranger  to  him,  and  by  that  means 
deferve  well  of  tbe  Publick ;  as  I  JbaU  look  upon  it  as  a  re- 
markable Inftance  of  Us  Generality, /&  1  JbaU  take  all  poffible 
tare  to  give  a  faithful  Account  of  its  Contents,  and  I  will  en- 
deavour to  mate  what  Improvements  lean  by  tbe  Help  of  it. 
-To  this  Second  Volume  I  have  annex' d  (i)  An  Account  rf 
Jeveral  Antiquities  in  and  about  tbe  Unherfity  ^Oxford. 
J  could  have  made  it  much  fuller  and  larger ',  had  net  I  been 
fenjible  that  this  would  have  fwtU'd  tbe  Volume  beyond  it's  due 
Proportion.  Yet  I  thought  once  to  have  made  fane  Obferva- 
tions  concerning  tbe  firft  Original  of  Printing  in  Oxford; 
but  that  would  have  been  in  feme  degree  to  have  broke  in  upon 
the  Province  ef  another  Per/on,  who  has  for  above  twenty  Years 
been  making  Collections  in  order  to  write  a  compleat  Htftery  of 
the  Original  and  Progrefs  of  Printing.  The  Materials  be  has 
procured  are  very  curious,  and  fbew  that  the  Collector  has 
implefd  bis  time  to  good  purpofe.  Whenever  they  are  Metho- 
dized and  judicioujfy  reduced  into  Order,  they  cannot  fail  of 
meeting  witb  Succefs,  and  giving  ample  Satisfa&ien  to  all 
fuch  as  are  defirous  to  be  acquainted  with  the  Myfteries  of  this 
Art  in  all  its  Branches.  (2)  A  Latin  Oration  fpoke  before

Author's  Name,  nor  tbe  time  when  'twas  delivered  are  ex- 
prefid  in  the  MS.  It  jpeaks  of  the  Antiquity  of  Cambridge ; 
and  therefore  I  thought  it  not  forreign  to  the  prefent  Defign. 
(3)  Dr.  Plot's  Account  of  a  Journey  which  he  intended  to  snake

ther  Curiohties,  He  was  chiefly  mov'd  to  this  Attempt  by  the 
Example  of  Mr,  Leland  and  Mr.  Camden.  His  Propofal  a- 
bout  MSS.  is  highly  commendable.  Tis  a  general  Complaint 
among/1  the  beft  Scholars  that  Travellers  are  flight  in  that

Vol.  I.  col.  49. 

THOMAS  WYATK)  The  Delight  of  to  Mufe» 
and  Mankind,  Son  of  Henry  Jryatt  of  AUington- 
Caftle  in  Kent  Knight  and  Bannerft,  by  Anne  his 
Wife,  Daughter  of  John  Skinner  of  Surry,  yas  born 
of  an  ancient  and  gentile  Family  in  the  faid  County  of  Kenty 
fent  to  Cambridge  to  be  initiated  in  Academical  Learning, 
tranfplanted  thence  to  Oxon.  purpofely  to  advance  himfelf  in 
knowledge  by  the  hearing  of  the  Cardinal's  Le&ures,  then 
lately  fettl'd  there ;  but  whether  he  took  a  Degree  with  us, 
or  at  Cambridge,  I  find  not  as  yet.  Afterwards  he  being  fent 
to  Travel,  he  return Jd  an  accompliih'd  Gentleman,  and  was 
efteem'd  by  all  thofe  that  knew  him  to  be  a  Perfon  adorn 'd 
with  the  Endowments  as  well  of  Body  and  Mind,  as  of  For- 
tune. By  the  daily  and  unwearied  Praflice  of  the  two  former, 
while  he  was  in  his  Travels,  and  after  his  Return,  he  became 
not  onfy  well  skflFd  in  Military  Matters,  but  alio  in  feveral 
Arts  and  Tongues :  and  as  efteem'd  ftrong  and  valiant  in 
Body,  fo  powerful  in  Mind  and  Counfel.  At  length  he  with 
Henry  Howard  or  Howard  Earl  of  Surrey,  (who  alio  had  tra- 
vell'd  into  Italy,  and  there  tailed  the  fweet  and  ftatelv  Mea- 
sures and  Style  of  the  Italian  Poefie)  being  efteem'd  to  be 
the  firft  Refiners  of  this  Englijb  Tongue,  Wyatt  was  introduced 
into  the  Court,  was  belov'd  of  King  Henry  VIII.  who  ho- 
noured him  with  the  Degree  of  Knighthood,  and  fent  him  in 
feveral  Embaffces  beyond  the  Seas,  which  he  very  prudently 
perform'd  with  great  Truft  to  the  Honour  of  his  Mailer.  But 
that  .which  is  here  to  be  in  a  fpecial  manner  marked,  was 
his  admirable  skill  in  Poetry,  which  in  his  firft  Years  of  rea-

fan  he  eacprefc'd  in  fcveral  amorous  Songs  ?nd  Po&ns :  witk 
which,  as  alfo  bis  witty  Jefts,  the  Kin*  hiijafelf  being  in  an 
high  manner  delighted,  they  were  fp  much  admired  by  die 
Men  of  that,  and  the  next  Age,  (tho*  I  prcfume  they  are 
now  loft  )  that  foipe  have  not  ftuck  to  report,  that  as  Me- 
ceanas,  Quid,  Tihullus,  &c.  have  been  among  the  Latins  moft 
famous  for  Elegy ;  fo  Sir  Thomas  Wyatt  the  Elder,  Henry 
Howard  Earl  of  Surrey,  Sir  Francis  Brian  of  the  Privy  -Cham- 
ber to  King  Henry  VIII.  (and  a  Traveller  in  mdxxvtii.)  Sir 
Philip  Sydney,  George  Gafceigue  Efcjj  &c.  have  among  the

thus:

(2)  The  whole  P/akery  of  David  :  in  praife  of  which  laft,  is 
an  Encomium  in  the  Songs  m  and  Sounds  of  the  Earl  of  Surrey 
before-mention'd.  At  length  our  Author  Wyatt  being  fent 
by  the  King  towards  Falmouth  in  Cornwall,  to  conduct  Mont- 
morantius  nrnam'd  a  Courriers  thence  to  London ,  (  for  he 
came  from  Spain  in  an  Embaffie)  did,  by  endeavouring  and 
labouring  to  pleafe  the  King,  rather  than  to  confult  his  own 
Health,  make  more  Haft  thangood  Speed.  For  by  too  much 
riding  (which  was  not  neceflarily  requirM  )  in  a  very  hot 
Seafon,  he  fell  into  a  violent  Feaver.  Whereupon  putting 
in  at  a  Mercate  Town  calPd  Shirobourn  in  Dorfet-Jbire,  was 
within  few  days  after  cut  off  from  among  the  living  in  the 
j8th  Year  of  his  Age  to  the  great  Relu&ancy  of  the  King, 
Kingdom,  his  Friends,  and  all  that  knew  the  great  Worth 
and  Virtues  of  the  Perfon.  He  was  buried  in  the  great 
Church  there,  in  Summer  time,  in  Fifteen  Hundred  forty 
and  one,  and  the  next  Year  was  a  little  Book  of  Verfes  pub* 
lifh'd  on  his  Death  by  his  great  Admirer  John  Lelandy  entit. 
Namiar.  Before  the  nr&  Page  of  which  is  Sir  Thomas's  Face, 
with  a  long  curl'd  Beard  ( like  to  a  Man  of  80.  Years  of 
Age)  printed  from  a  Wooden  fi  Cut,  IngravM  from  his  Face, 
which  was  y  painted  by  a  Dutch-Man  commonly  call'd  Hans 
Holben.  At  the  fame  time  was  an  Epitaph  made  on  .him  by 
the  }Earl  of  Surrey  y  as  it  feems,  another  alfo  by  Sir  Tbo. 
1  Chaloner  in  long  and  ihort  Verfes,  and  a  third,  which  was 
a  large  one  in  rrofe,  by  his  intire  Friend  Sir  John  Mafon 
(Chancellor  of  this  Univerfity  moliii.)  a  Copy  of  which  I 
have  feen,  and  in  fome  chines  do  follow  it  in  my  aforefaid 
Difcourfe.    This  Sir  Tbo.  Wyatt  left  behind  him  a  Son  of

have  caus'd  to  be  done  exa&ly  in  Copper  in  this  Edition.  H.

Wooden  Cut  was  alfo  done  by  Hans  H$lben  himfelf.  9Tis  cextain 
that  he  cut  fometimes  in  Wood.  And  the  Beauty  of  this  Cat  will 
hardly  permit  us  to  fix  upon  any  other  but  him,  the  Cuts  in  Wood

The  Bifhop  of  Saresbyri  hath  had  at  Sunning  afore  the 
Conqueft'an  auncient  Maner  Place,  and  «  hath"  /B  be  Lordes 
there.  And  yet  remainith  a  fair  olde  Houfe  there  of  Stone 
even  by  the  Tamife  Ripe,  longging  to  the  Bislhop  of  Saresbyri: 
and  therby  is  a  fair  Parke. 

This  Place  is  in  Barkeflnr  3.  Miles  above  Henley. 

From  Sunning  to  Reading  2.  Miles. 

There  is  a  Park  dimming  into  Reading  Toun  longging  to 
the  late  Monafterie  there. 

There  is  no  maner  of  token  that  ever  the  Toun  of  Read- 
ing was  waullid.  yet  is  it  a  very  auncient  Toun,  and  at  this 
Tyme  the  beft  Toun  of  ABarkJkire.  There  was  a  Caftellc 
in  the  Saxons  Tyme  in  this  Towne :  and  the  name  of  Ca- 
Jielle-Streat  yet  remaynithe,  lying  from  Eft  to  Weft  to  pafle 
to  Newbyri  :  But  I  could  not  perceive  or  clerely  lerne  wher  it 
ftoode.  But  by  al  lykelihod  at  the  Weft-Ende  of  the  CqfleJU- 
Streat :   and,  as  fum  think,  about  the  Place  of  Execution. 

It  is  very  likely  that  a  peace  of  the  Abbay  was  buildid  of 
the  Ruines  of  it. 

Peraventure  it  ftoode  wher  thabbay  was. 

S.  Edwarde  the  Martyr's  Mother-yn-Law  for  Penaunce 
buildid,  as  I  have  rcdde,  a  Monafterie  of  Nunnes  yn  Reading. 

There  is  a  conftant  feme  that  this  Nunnery  was  wher*  S. 
Maryes  a  Paroche  Chirch  is  now  yn  Reading. 

King  Henry  the  firft  making  an  Abbay  at  Reading  of  Blak 
Monkes  fuppreffid  this  Houfe,  as  I  hard,  giving  the  Landes 
thereof  to  his  Abbay.  But  for  more  certente  know  whither 
the  old  Nunnery  ftoode  not  yn  the  Place  wher  the  abbay  of 
Reading  ftondith  ? 

And  whither  S.  Maries  were  not  of  a  newer  Foundation  ? 

On  the  Northfide  of  the  Caflelle-Streat  was  a  late  a  fair 
Houfe  of  Gray  Freres.

fi  one  Tborne  Abbate  of  Reading  fuppreffid  it  in  King  Henry 
the  vij.  Dayes,  and  gave  the  Landes  of  it  onto  the  Ufe  of  the 
Almoner  of  his  Abbay.  But  Henry  the  vij.  cumming  to  Read- 
ings and  afking  what  old  Houte  that  was :  thabbate  told 
hym.  and  then  the  King  wyllid  hym  to  convert  the  Houfe 
y  felf  and  the  Landes  in  pios  ujus.  W  herapon  thabbate  deflrid 
that  it  might  be  made  a  Grammar-Schole,  and  fo  it  was. 

One  Wyuiam  Dene,  a  riche  man  and  fervant  in  thabbay  of 
Reading,  gave  200.  Markes  in  Mony  toward  the  avaunce- 
ment  of  this  Schole  :  as  it  apperith  by  the  Epitaphie  on  his 
Grave  in  the  Abbay  Chirch  of  Reading. 

The  Ry  ver  of  Kenet  cummith  thorough  the  Midle  of  Read* 
sag  Toun,  but  devidid  principally  into  a.  Partes,  wherof  the 
principal  ftreame  cummith  thorough  a  great  wood  Bridge  in 
the  South  fide  of  the  Toune.  , 

The  Anne  that  breketh  out  of  Kenet  is  caullid  com- 
munely  about  the  Quarters  of  the  Toune  the  habwid  Brooie, 
and  brekith  out  of  the  principal  ftreame  of  Kenet  up  above 
the  Toune  by  Weft  South  Weft  aboute  the  Bere,  wher 
thabbat  of  Reading  had  a  fair  Manor  Place  of  Bryke,  and  fo 
cumming  doune  by  Medowes  ynto  Reading  Toune  paffith 
thorough  a  Peace  of  thabbay  clenfing  the  FUth  of  it.  and  a 
litle  lower  joinith  againe  with  the  great  ftreame :  and  a  litle 
lower  Kenet  hole  ftreame  goith  into  Tamiji  Ryyer.  So  that 
Tamife  River  cummith  within  half  a  Mile  by  Eft  North  Eft 
of  Reading.  In  the  Vale  of  the  Toune  of  Reading  wher 
the  2.  Amies  of  Kenet  renne  nere  togither,  I  markid  diverfe 
Armelettes  breking  out  of  the  2.  Streames  and  making  Medi~ 
amnes,  over  the  which  be  dyverfe  Bridges  of  Wood.  And  FoL  5. 
thefe  Waters  be  very  commodius  for  diers,  welle  occupied

Toward  the  North  End  of  this  Bridge  ftondith  a  fair  old

*  There  be  divers  notable  Antiquities]  Since  Mr.  LdamPs  time 
there  hav£  been  alfo  a  great  Number  of  Antiquities  difcover'd 
at  this  Place,  fome  of  which  have  been  carefully  preferv'd,  and 
others  intirely  deftroy'd.  Mr.  Camden  hath  been  pleas'd  to  ac- 
count for  feveral,  and  had  he  liv'd  to  have  given  us  another  Im- 
preulon  of  his  Book  (a  new  Edition  of  which  in  Latin*  for  it 
ought  to  be  publifhM  in  the  fame  Language  in  which  it  was  ori- 
ginally written,  is  now  much  defirM  by  learned  Men)  he  would, 
in  all  probability,  have  accounted  for  many  of  the  reft.  If  either 
my  prefent  Station,  or  my  other  Circumftances  would  allow  me 
the  liberty  of  Travelling,  I  mould  take  great  Pleafure  and  Sa- 
tisfaction in  furveying  this  ancient  and  noted  City,  and  'tis  likely 
1  might  be  indue'd  to  give  an  Hiftory  of  the  moft  confiderable 
Antiquities  about  it,  together  with  fuch  Remarks  and  Reflections 
as  fhould  occur  to  me  on  that  occasion.  At  the  fame  time 
'twould  be  proper  to  add  a  Collection  of  other  Roman  Antiquities 
fHH  preferv'd  in  this  Ifland,  and  not  yet  publifh'd  by  any  of  our 
Antiquaries.  And  this  would  be  a  convenient  Seafon  too  for 
publiming  that  famous  Collection  of  ancient  Statues  preferv'd  in 
my  I/.  Lempftet**  Gardens  in  Nortbamptonjbire,  ifhjch  I  could 
wifli  had  been  done  by  Mr.  Moreton  in  his  late  Natural  Hiftory  of 
Northampton/hire,  efoecially  ftnee  he  refervM  one  Part  of  the 
Work  for  the  moil  memorable  Antiquities  belonging  to  that 
County,  amongft  which  theie  Statues  ought  certainly  to  be 
reckon'd.  But  leaving  thU  Point*  all  I  ftiall  note  farther  at 
prefent  is  only  to  beg  leave  to  infert  three  Roman  Infcriptions 
that  are  hVd  in  the  Walls  at  Bath,  which  tho*  they  are  already 
publinYd  by  Mr.  Camden*,  yet  they  are  very  faultily  printed  there 
and  far  from  being  done  with  that  Nicety  and  Exactnefs  that 
ought  to  be  obferv'd  in  thefc  Affairs.  The  two  former  were 
taken  by  an  ingenious  and  accurate  Perfon,  viz.  Mr.  Samuel 
Gale  of  London,  Brother  to  my  learned  Friend  Roger  Gale 
Efq ;  of  Scruton  near  Nortbalertm  in  Yorkjkirt.  The  firft  is  as

of  the  which  the  tourrid  Steple  of  the  Paroche  Chirch  at  the 
North  Gate  femith  to  be  auncient. 

There  is  a  Paroche  Chirch  and  a  Suburbe  without  the 
North-Gate. 

There  is  an  Hofpital  of  S.  John  hard  by  the  Crojfe  Bathe, 
of  the  Fundation  of  Rtginaldt  Bisfhop  of  Bathe. 

The  Toun  hath  of  a  long  tyme  fyns  bene  continually  FoL  j&*

There  were  in  hominum  memoria  3.  Clothiers  at  one  tyme, 
thus  namid,  Style,  Kent  and  Chapman,  by  whom  the  Touri 
of  Bath  then  florifhid.  Syns  the  Death  of  them  it  hath

It  apperith  in  the  Booke  of  the  Antiquitees  of  the  late

676.  Theodore  then  beyng  Arche-bisftiop  of  Cantwarbyri,  did

The  Book  of  thantiquite  of  the  Abbay  of  Bath  makith 
no  great  mention  of  any  great  notable  Doyng  of  Offa  King 
of  the  Merehes  at  Bathe. 

The  Prior  of  Bath  told  me,  that  after  the  Nunhes  Tyme 
ther  wer  Secular  Chanons  in  S.  Peter's  Chirch  at  Bath,  para* 
venture  Offa  King  of  Merehes  fet  them  ther.  For  I  have

els  the  Chanons  cam  yn  after  that  the  Danes  had  racid  thp.

There  were  t  other  divers  Bisftops  buried  ther. 

Oliver  King  Bisfliop  of  Bath  began  of  late  dayes  a  right 

foodly  new  Chirch  at  the  Weft  Part  of  the  old  Chirch  of 
.  Peter 9  and  finifhid  a  great  Peace  of  it.  The  refidue  of  it 
was  fyns  made  by  the  Priors  of  *  Bathe:  and  efpeciallv  by 
Gibbes  the  laft  Prior  ther,  that  fpent  a  great  fumme  of  Mony

Oliver  King  let  almoft  £  al  the  old  Chirch  of  S.  Peter's  in

In  knowlege  wherof  they  pray  in  al  their  Ceremonies  for

Rogerus  le  Poure9  Bisfhop  of  Saresbyri  in  Henry  the  firft 
Tyme, «  buildid  this  Caftelie,  and  caft  a  great  Dike  without 
it,  and  made  a  falfc  Mure  without  the  Dike. 


*  buildid  this  Cafte/Ie,]  But  there  had  been  a  Caftle  long  be- 
fore this  time  at  Siirburne,  as  I  gather  from  a  very  old  book  of 
Charters  made  by  divers  Kings  and  other  Illuftrious  Perfonages 
to  Sbirbume  Abbey.  I  fuppofe  therefore  that  Roger  Powre  built 
his  Caftle  on  the  fame  Ground,  on  which  the  former  Caftle  had 
been  erfe&ed,  and  perhaps  there  were  at  that  time  abundance  of 
Ruins  remaining  of  the  old  Caftle,  which  might  be  made  uie 
of  upon  this  occafion.  As  for  the  faid  Book  of  Charters,  it  is 
a  very  valuable  MS.  and  it  does  not  feem  to  me  to  have  been 
ever  leen,  at  leaft  not  made  ufe  of,  either  by  Mr.  Lelaud,  Mr. 
DedJwortJbf  Sir  William  Dugdale,  or  by  any  of  our  eminent  An- 
tiquaries that  have  written  of  our  Religious  Houfes.  From  this 
Book  it  is  manifeft  that  tho'  Roger  Poure,  Bifhop  of  Sarwn,  was 
a  great  Benefactor  to  the  Abbey,  yet  that  it  had  been  built  long 
before  by  Wlfin  Bifhop  of  Sbiriurn,  namely  in  the  Year  998.  at 
which  time  King  AZtbelred  gave  him  leave  to  change  the  Secular 
Canons  here  into  Benedi&ine  Monks,  which  accordingly  he 
forthwith  did,  and  built  another  Monaftery,  which  was  after- 
wards inriched  with  a  very  confiderable  quantity  of  Lands,  all 
which  were  confirmed  by  Pope  Eugene  the  III.  in  the  Year  1 145. 
being  the  XIth.  Year  of  King  Stephen9 %  Reign.  The  faid  Bifhop 
Wlfin  is  call'd  Wtlffinus  by  Malmsbury  ♦,  Wlfjtm  by  Leland\% 
and  Wtdffinus  by  Godwin  J,  and  others  ;  but  in  this  Godwin  is 
to  be  corrected  that  he  makes'  him  to  have  dyed  in  the  Year  958. 
whereas  it  is  very  probable  that  he  did  not  enter  upon  his  Bi~ 
fhoprick  'till  fome  Years  after  that  time,  fince,  according  to  this 
Charter,  he  muft  have  been  living  in  the  Year  998.  'T would 
be  a  good  piece  of  Service  to  Learning  to  have  all  the  Charters 
of  this  venerable  old  MS.  (which  belongs  to  a  very  skillful  An- 
tiquary, and  was  procured  for  my  ufe  by  a  very  worthy  and 
learned  Friend,  to  whom  I  am  alfo  highly  indebted  upon  other 
Accounts)  printed  and  publifh'd ;  but  this  is  an  Undertaking 
not  agreeable  to  my  prefent  Defign,  nor  confident  with  the  Li- 
mit* allow'd  me.  For  which  reafon  'twill  be  fufficient  to  give 
only  the  firft  two  Charters,  (one  of  which  is  King  JEtbelred'* 
and  the  other  Bifhop  Wlfiny%)  and  the  laft,  (which  contains  Pope 
Eugene's  Confirmation,  and  mentions  the  Lands  that  had  been 
granted  before)  adding  withal  an  Exftralt  out  of  Domefday 
Book  (for  fo  I  take  it  to  be,  tho'  it  be  not  fpecify'd  as  fuch)

I  had  aliqoft  forgot  to  (i&nify  that  this  excellent,  and  ve- 
nerable old  MS.  confifts  of  two  Parts.  The  firft  Part  con- 
tains the  Charters  that  I  have  already  accounted  for.  The 
fecond  is  a  Collection  of  Divine  Offices,  which,  I  believe, 
were  formerly  made  ufe  of  in  the  Abbey  Church  of  Sbir- 
burne ;  and  I  am  apt  to  think  that  the  Charters  as  well  as 
Offices  were  written  much  about  the  time  that  the  Abbey 
was  reform'd  by,  and  receiv'd  new  Benefactions  from,  Roger 
Poure  Bifhop  of  Salisbury.  The  Hand  confirms  this  opinion. 
But  not  only  the  Book  itfelf,  but  the  Covers  of  it  are  very 
remarkable,  and  worthy  the  Obfervation  of  fuch  as  {hall 
concern  thcmfelves  in  defcrjbing  the  ways  of  binding  Books 
in  that  Age.  '  This  will  be  a  Topick  fit  for  him  that  fhall 
write  about  the  beginning  of  Printing.  It  will  become  him 
to  trace  the  Original  of  feveral  Letters  made  ufe  of  by  diffe- 
rent Printers  from  old  MSS.  'Tis  certain  the  firft  Printers 
follow'd  the  very  Form  and  Make  of  the  Letters  they  found 
in  MSS.  Nor  did  their  immediate  Succeffors  aft  otherwife. 
Hence  we  may  account  for  the  blacjc  and  white  Letter.  And 
withal  we  may  from  hence,  in  fome  degree,  giye  a  judgment 
pf  the  Age  of  thofe  NJSS.  from  whence  the  firft  JJooks  were 
printed.  The  firft  Binder*  alfo  of  printed  Books  Imitated 
the  Bindings  obferv'd  in  ancient  written  Books;  tho' 
new  Methods  came  up  in  time.  The  occafion  of  the  imi- 
tation was  that  the  printed  Books  might  look  like  MSS.  and, 
by  that  means,  bring  in  the  greater  Gain.  But  'tis  not  my

88;  LELAND'S    ITINERARY. 

Ther  be  4.  great  Toures  yn  the  «  Caftelle  Waulle/ 
wherof  one  is  the  Gate  Houfe.  every  of  them  hath  3- 
Lodgginges  yn  highth.  The  great  Lodgging  is  vn  the 
midle  of  the  Caftelle  Court,  very  ftrong  and  ful  of  Voukes. 
There  be  few  Peaces  of  Work  yn  England  of  thantiquite  of 
this  that  ftandith  fo  hole  and  fo  welle  couchid. 

One  Bisfhop  Langeton  made  of  late  tyme  a  new  Peace  of 


do  is  to  obferve  that  this  Book  (which  the  more  I  have  look- 
ed upon  the  more  1  have  always  admir'd)  hath  two  thick 
Boards  (each  about  an  Inch  in  thicknefs)  for  it's  Covers, 
and  that  they  were  joyn'd  with  the  Book  by  large  leather 
ThQngs,  which  Boards  are  now,  by  length  of  Time,  be- 
come- very  loofe.     Tho'  I  have  feen  a  vaft  number  of  old 
Books,  and  oftentimes  examin'd  their  Covers,  yet  I  do  not 
remember  that  I  ever  law  Boards  upon  any  of  them  of  fo 
great  thicknefs  as  thefe.     This  was  the  manner  of  Binding, 
it  feems,  of  thole  Times,  efpecially  if  the  Books  were  books 
of  extraordinary  value  as  this  is.     'Twas  ufual  to  cut  Let- 
ters in  the  Covers ;  and  fuch  Letters  were  the  better  pre- 
ferv'd  by  having  them  plac'd  in  fome  hollow  Part,  which 
might  eafily  be  made  if  the  Boards  were  pretty  thick.     I 
fuppofe  therefore  that  even  the  Copies  of  Gregorys  Paftoral 
that  were  given  to  Cathedral  Churches  by  King  /El/red  had 
fuch  thick  Covers  alfo,  that  thereby  the  Mfteh  might  be 
fix'd  the  better.    What  makes  me  think  fo  is,  that  the  Out- 
fide  of  one  of  the  Covers  of  this  Book  is  made  hollow,  and 
there  is  a  rude  fort  of  Figure  upon  a  Brafs  Plate  that  is 
faften'd  within  the  hollow  Part.     Which  Figure  I  take  to 
haye  been  defign'd  for  the  Virgin  Mary9  to  whom  the  Ab- 
bey was  dedicated.     Over  it  there  was  once  faften'd  another 
much  longer  Plate,  as  is  plain  from  the  Nails  that  fix'd  it, 
and  from  fome  other  fmall  indications  now  exftant.     And 
this,  'tis  likely  was  of  Silver,  and  perhaps  there  was  an  Ana- 
thema againft  the  Perfon  that  fhould  prefume  to  alienate  it 
ingrav'd  u:  on  it,  together  with  the  Name  of  the  Perfon  (who 
it  may  be  was  Roger  Poure)  tha$  was  the  Donor  of  the  Book. 
This  will  make  it  to  have  been  nothing  elfe  but  an  JEftel> 
fuch  a  one  (tho*  not  fo  valuable)  as  was  faften'd  upon  Gre* 
gory* s  Paftoral,     But  this  I  leave  to  every  Man's  Judgment, 
and  for  that  end  I  have  added  in  the  foregoing  Page  the  very 
Figure,  as  I  have  caus'd  it  to  be  drawn  from  the  Cover.

was  this,  viz.  that  when  he  was  a  Young  Man  and  a  Student 
in  this  Unherfity  he  had,  through  the  ftrength  of  his  Natural 
Genius,  made  ample  Collections  concerning  the  Hi/lory  and 
Antiquities  of  that  and  of  other  Places  thereabouts,  which, 
with  what  he  had  sot  together  after  the  Grant  of  the  King's 
Commijfon,  he  judgM  would  be  a  Sufficient  and  juft  Fund 
for  writing  a  full  Account  of  that  ancient  and  mojl  flourifhing 
Univer/tty,  and  for  fettling  die  HiJIery  of  thofe  other  noted 
Places  that  borderM  upon  it.  Nor  will  this  fuppofition  feera 
abfurd,  if  we  do  but  confider  that  all  Eminent  Antiquaries 
have  even  from  their  moft-  tender  Years  been  carry'd  on  to 
colled  Materials  tor  their  future  Works,  and  that  we  have 
undoubted  Evidence  that  fitch  of  them  as  have  been  edu- 
cated in  Oxford  have,  during  their  Refidence  there, 
made  it  one  part  of  their  Bufinefs  to  view  the  Churches  ana 
Chapels  in  and  about  it,  and  to  take  Copies  of  all  the  moft 
material  Infcrittions  they  could  find  belonging  to  them. 
They  did  not  look  upon  this  as  a  Fatigue,  and  a  dry,  ufelefs 
Work ;  but  thought  it  a  Recreation,  a  Piece  of  Tuftiee  doe  to 
the  Memory  of  their  famous  Predecefirs,  and  a  fignal  h& 
of  Piety,  fuch  as  would  derive  a  BUJfing  upon  it,  and  raife 
the  Devotion  of  ail  conjiderate  Perfons.  'Twas  from  this 
motive  that  Mr.  Camden,  when  he  was  Under-Graduate  of 
Christ-Church  in  this  Umverjity,  did,  with  feveral 
other  Young  Gentlemen  of  the  fame  moft  Noble  and  Flourifiing 
Society*  make  a  Journey  « to  fVcdlingford,  and  take  a  view  of 
the  Ruins  of  that  ancient  Town.  The  fame  Principle  fpurVd 
him  on  to  enter  and  furvey  aH  the  Churches  and  Chapels  in 
Oxford,  and  to  give  an  Account  of  the  feveral  Monuments 
and  Coats  of  Arms  in  them.  This  he  did  in  a  Book  he  had 
prepar'd  for  that  purpafc ;  but  where  that  Book  is  now,  and 
now  it  may  be  fcen,  is  at  prefent  uncertain.  Mr.  Wood 
often  told  the  learned  Dr.  Thomas  Smith  is,  that  he  had 
feen  it ;  but  he  couM  not  be  radue'd  to  declare  in  whofe 
Poffeffion  it  was,  and  how  a  Sight  of  it  might  be  procur'd,

m  Nor  has  Mr.  Wood  mention'd  it  in  his  Athena  Oxonienfes ; 
where  however  he  takes  notice  0  that  another  Excellent  An- 
tiquary,  Mr.  William  Wyrley,  did,  for  diveriion  fake,  during 
bis  Abode  in  2fa/if*/-College,  make  feveral  Colkdions  of 
Arms  from  Monuments  and  Windows  in  Churches  and  eifewhere 
in  and  near  Oxford,  and  that  at  the  lame  time  he  col- 
lected a  great  number  of  Remarks  from  Leiger-Books,  that 
had  formerly  belong'd  to  Monefteries  in  thefe  Parts :  all 
which  Collisions  at  length  came  into  Mr.  Woods  Hands, 
ted  were  of  admirable  lervice  to  him  in  compiling  not  only 
the  Athene  but  the  Hiftory  and  Antiquities  of  Oxford. 
Nor  were  the  Collisions  alfo  of  Mr.  Miles  Windfore  (who 
was  a  more  judicious  Antiquary  than  Mr.  Wood,  notwith- 
standing he  fpeaks  y  difreip^dfulry  of  him)  and  Mr.  Brian 
Tuyne  upon  the  ferae  Subject  of  lefs  Service  in  carrying  on

farve  in  fome  meafure  to  (hew  that  'tis  highly  probable  that 
Mr,  LeJandj  whpfe  Genius  was  not  inferior  either  to  Mr.  Cam-

himfelf  with  equal  Induftry  in  the  fame  laudable  Undertaking. 
But  his  Colleclions  (as  :  have  obferv'd  in  the  Preface  to  the

the  Univerjity  of  Oxford,  in  token  of  their  Efteem  and

ierv'd,   would,   in   fome  degree,   have  eas'd  him  in  that 
Drudgery.    Mr.  Woofs  Dcfign  was  of  a  much  more  extenfive 
nature,  beginning  his  Hiftory  with  the  moft  early  Accounts 
of  the  Univerfity,  and  carrying  it  on  by  way  of  Annals  to 
the  late  illegal  and  Fanatical  Vtfttation  ;  and  being  not  con- 
tent with  a  bare  Hiftory  of  the  Affairs  of  the  ifniverfity  in 
general,  he  took  in  all  the  Colleges  and  Halls,  gave  us  parti- 
cular Defcriptions  of  each,  and  related  whatever  he  found 
moft  remarkable  concerning  them.     In  this  Work  we  have  a 
large  and  diligent  Relation  of  moft  of  the  Religious  Houfes 
formerly  fituated  in  Oxford.      Not  only  their  Original,

piled the  Work  in  Englijb  \  but  Mr.  Twyne's  having  been  done 
in  Latin,  and  it  being  more  for  the  Credit  of  the  Univerfity 
to  have  fuch  a  Book  publifh'd  in  that  Language,  that  Great 
and  Good  Man  Bp  Fell  got  it  tranflated  into  Latin,  and

aftd  I  am  apt  to  think  that  he  once  defign'd  to  have  written 
the  Antiaukies  of  it.    'Twas  for  that  reafoa,  it  may  be,  that 
when  he  was  a  young  Mam  a,  he  travcll'd  over  moft  Parts  of 
the  County*  vifited  the  feveral  Churches  he  came  to,  took  down

fervations  he  poffibly  could  that  he  thought  would  any  ways 
ferve  to  illuftrate  their  Antiquities.     In  this  Study  he  was 
much  fevour'd  by  Mr,  afterwards  Dr,  Thomas  Barlow  the 
chief  Keeper  of  the  Bodlejan  Library  at  that  time ;    in 
which  Ltbrary  Mr.  Wood  was  xfevert  Student,  and  read  over, 
with  much  Pkafure  and  no  kfs  SatisfiocJion,  all  the  Books  of 
Englijh  Antiquities  that  he  could  meet  with ;  but  after  a  due 
Confutation  with  hinuje^nnA  with  Friends  upon  the  matter, 
he  at  laft  confin'd  himfelf  to  the  Unsverpty  of  Oxford, 
and  the  Product  of  his  Labours  and  Studies  were  the  printed 
Books  before  fpoken  of,  which  are  prodigious  in  their  kind, 
and  plainly  fhew  the  Compiler  to  have  been  a  Man  of  a  moft 
furprifing  Genius,  of  a  prying  Temper,  and  of  a  moft  undaunted 
Courage.    He  was  finam'd  by  nature  for  the  Study  of  Eng&flo 
Hiftory  and  Antiquities  ;  and  'twas  that  Study  which  he  pro- 
fecuted  with  unufuai  Induftry  and  Application.     He  was  free

here  I  fhould  begin  with  ufney,  and  make  fome  Additions  to 
what  has  been  laid  by  Mr.  Leland,  but  that  there  is  fo  little 
now  remaining  of  the  Abbey,  that  to  one,  that  is  not  already 
apprised  of  the  matter,  'tis  very  difficult  to  difcover  whether 
here  had  been  formerly  a  Religious  Houfe  or  not?  Before  the

brey, who  began  the  Study  of  Antiquities  very  early  when  he 
was  Gentleman-Commoner  of  7W«i*y-College  in  Oxford,  and 
had  no  inconfiderable  Skill  in  them,  as  may  appear  from  his 
Hi/lory  of  tie  Antiquities  of  Wilt-fliire,  his  Native  Country  , 
now  remaining  in  the  Mufeum  AJhmoUanum  j  which  Work 
tho'  imperfecl  and  unfinijbd,  yet  evidently  (hews  that  he  could 
write  well  enough  upon  a  SubjecJ,  to  the  Study  of  which  he 
was  led  by  a  Natural  Inclination ;  and  the  World  might  have 
juftly  expelled  other  curious  and  ufeful  Notices  of  Things 
from  him,  both  with  refpeft  to  the  Antiquities  of  Oxford 
as  well  as  thofe  in  his  own  and  other  Countries,  had  not  he 
bv  his  intimate  Acquaintance  with  Mr.  AJbmole  in  his  latter 
Years  too  much  indulged  his  Fancy,  and  wholly  addi&ed  him- 
felf  to  the  Whimfeys  and  Conceits  of  Afirologers,  Soetb-Sayers,

no  Foundation  in  Nature,  Pbilofophy,  or  Reafon.    But  not- 
withftanding  this  unhappy  Avocation,   which  brought  innu-

being  founded  by  Richard,  fecond  Son  of  King  %*»,  Earl 
of  Cornwall,  and  King  of  the  Romans.  The  Place,  where 
this  j/46<7  flood,  is  in  old  Writings  frequently  call'd  Norths 
Ofney\  and  the  Abbey  was  firft  defign'd  for  Secular  Priefts, 
but  thefe  were  afterwards,  via.  in  the  Year  mcclxxxi.  « 
changed  by  Edmund  Eari  of  Cornwall,  Son  to  the  forefaid 
Richard,  into  an  j/£6rt  and  fifteen  iMJwix  of  the  Ciftertian 
Order.  I  do  not  think  it  worth  my  while  here  to  take 
notice  of  and  inlarge  upon  the  Arms  of  the  Earls  of  Corn- 
wall, (now  to  be  feen  at  the  Entrance  into  Rewly-Houfe)

King  Henry  the  VIIIU,  and  others,  fometimes  dug  up  here ; 
but  I  {hall  rather  give  an  Account  of  another  Sort  of  Mo- 
nument, th&t  has  been  found  lately  here,  by  which  the  Ho- 
nour that  is  due  to  the  Memory  of  a  noble  and  pious  Lady 
is  luckily  retriev'd.  About  die  middle  of  July  in  mdccv. 
hearing  that  a  Stone  with  odd  Characters  on  it  was  dug  up 
a  litde  before  at  Rewfy,  I  had  the  Curiofity  fome  dme  after 
to  go  and  take  a  view  of  it.  I  prefently  law  that  'twas  a 
Monument  of  fome  value,  and  after  I  had  writ  down  the  In- 
fcription  upon  it,  my  opinion  of  it  increased,  and  I  foon  re- 
folvM  with  my  felt  to  ^urchafe  and  fecure  it  by  putting  it 
in  fame  public*  Place.  After  I  had  agreed  with  the  Owner, 
I  had  it  conveyM  to  the  Bodlejan  Repofitory,  where  it  now 
continues,  and  for  better  Satisfaction  to  thofe  that  are  cu- 
rious in  thefe  Inquiries,  due  Care  has  been  taken  to  have  not 
only  the  Shape  of  the  Stone  but  the  Figures  of  the  Characlers 
cxa&ly  reprefented  in  the  annexed  Plate.

themfelves  with  the  Croft,  and  plac'd  the  Figure  of  it  both 
at  the  Beginning  and  End  of  their  Writings,  they  did  not  ex-* 
fpe&  good  Succeft.     Hence  at  the  End  of  the  Infariptien  we 
have  alio  the  Form  of  the  Crofs,  the'  exprefs'd  differently 
from  what  'twas  at  the  Beginning.   They  us'd  various  Firms 
for  representing  it,  which  was  very  often  left  to  the  Pleafura 
of  the  Writer,  Ingraver,  and  other  Artiftu    We  have  it  in 
the  Saxon  and  other  early  Ceyns  of  this  kingdom ;  and  'tis  tt* 
that  we  are  to  attribute  the  vaft  number  of  Crofts  in  the 
Danijb  Monuments  publifh'd  by  Wormius.    The  like  Cuflwm

nor  did  his  Succeffors  take  care  to  improve  what  he  had  ft» 
happily  begun,  but  permitted  the  fame  Ignorance  and  Super* 
JKtion  to  break  in  again  >  and  in  the  (pace  of  fome  Years  it 
had  prevaiTd  fo  much  as  to  have  firange  aud  even  blajpbe- 
mous  Petitions  made  to  die  Cro/s,  and  the  Virtues  of  it  were 
mark'd  out,  exemplify'd,  and  difphu'd  in  writing,  and  Indul- 
gences granted  from  Rome  to  fuch  as  fign'd  themfelves  with 
it.    This  may  partly  be  feen  in  an  old  VeUam  Roll,  written 
about  three  hundrea  Years  ago  (by  an  ignorant  Scribe)  ia 
Englijb  and  Latin,  and  now  in  pofleffion  of  the  Reverend 
Mr.  Jofiab  Pullen,  Vice-rriudfal  of  Magdalen-Hall  Oxok. 
At  the  Beginning  of  this  Ron,  (which  formerly  belonged  to 
Dr.  Langbain,  and  afterwards  to  Bifliop  Barlow)  are  foveral

A&ntenhis,  in  his  Difcourfe  upon  that  Subject,  infinuates  that

of  Reverence  to  the  Crofi  that  formerly  in  Printing  fomctimcs

Plinfs  EpiftUs  printed  In  Folio  at  Venice  by  Joannes  Fercel- 
lenfis,  with  Cataneeusfs  Notts,  An.  mdxix.  And  this  is  all  I 
have  to  obferve  with  refpeft  to  the  Characters  on  Rewfy- 
Stone,  only  I  think  it  convenient  to  remark  that  the  Note 
after  fecit  may  be  read  either  quojus  or  op«r.  But  I  rather 
approve  of  the  latter,  the  former  Reading  being  more  an- 
cient, and  not  made  ufe  of  at  that  time  when  this  Stone  was 
cut ;  and  yet  in  JMSS.  of  later  Date  we  have  quo  ejus  for  cu- 
jus,  particularly  in  one  of  Tully  de  Divinations  at  lib*  I.

upon  perhaps  as  a  vain  Curiofity  to  fay  anv  thing  about  them  ; 
yet  I  cannot  but  obferve  in  fliort  that  Words  are  diftinguiih'd 
from  one  another  by  three  Points  in  a  Greek  Monument  above 
a  1 60.  Years  old,  Dublifh'd  by  Montfaucon  in  his  Palaogra- 
pbia  Grmay,  ana  he  mentions  }a  MS.  written  a  little  be- 
fore our  Rewfy-Stene  was  ingrav'd,  1  with  the  fame  fort  of 
.Paints.  That  which  is  more  material,  is  the  Foundation  of 
the  Chapel  or  Church  at  Rewly,  which  was  dedicated  to  the 
Virgin  Mary ;  and  'tis  from  this  Stone  only  that  we  learn, 
that  the  Foundrefs  of  it  was  Ela  Longefpe,  a  Lady  of  eminent 
Virtues,  and  famous  for  her  Benefactions  to  divers  Places.  Sit 
IViUiam  Dugdale  has  given  an  Account  of  her  in  his  Hiftory

it  in  Mr.  Doaftoortb's  Collections.  The  matter  however  may  per- 
haps be  determined  by  Dr.  Jobnfton**  MSS.  All  I  (hall  remark 
now  is  that  whereas  in  the  Charter  of  Reinerus  Flandrenfis  in  the  ' 
Monafiicon  Anglicanum  *  there  is  no  Note  added  what  time  it  was 
that  the  faid  Charter  for  founding  this  Priory  was  granted,  it  ap-

'twas  at  Godftow  j  and  I  conjedur'd  that  the  Stone  before

and  was  here  buried.  Walfingham  farther  adds,  that  the  oc- 
cafion  of  the  Foundation  was,  that  Prayers  might  be  put  up 
for  the  Soul  of  the  faid  Rofamund.  Why  may  not  therefore 
the  /  in  the  Infcription  relate  to  King  John,  and  be  under- 
ftood  of  him  ?  Vet  what  is  aflerted  in  Walfingham  is  not  to 
be  fo  taken,  as  if  King  John  were  the  Original  Founder  of 
this  Nunnery,  (it  being  plain  from  the  Regifter  that  he  was 
not)  but  only  that  he  became  a  confiderable  Benefaclor  to 
it,  and  inlarg'd  the  Revenues  and  Allowances  that  had  been 
before  fettl'd  upon  it.  'Tis  likely  that  he  added  a  Chantery 
or  Chapel  for  two  or  three  Priefts,  and  ordered  a  fuitable  Sa- 
lary for  performing  the  proper  Offices  in  behalf  of  Rofamund. 
Gratitude  to  the  memory  of  his  dead  Father  (befides  other 
Religious  concerns)  would  not  permit  him  to  negled  this 
A&  of  Charity.  Befides  we  have  other  Inflames  of  his  per- 
forming the  ah  dels.  I  muft  however  confefs,  that  this 
Interpretation  of  the  Infcription  is  built  no  lefs  upon  conjec- 
ture than  the  former;  and  for  that  reafon  I  do  not  exfpeft

do  a  third  Conjedure,  which  I  beg  leave  to  add,  namely  that

thefe  Benefaftions.    For  if  it  had  reference  to  Ida,  'twould 
not  be  ftyf'd  a  Cbantery,  but  either  a  Nunnery  or  Church.  And 
had  it  belong'd  to  Ki fig  John,  'tis  reafonable  to  think  that 
the  Monument  would,  have  been  of  better  Stone,  and  been 
wrought  and  poltfh'd  after  fuch  a  manner  as  would  have  been 
equal  to  his  Royal  Dignity.    The  Letters  (as  far  as  we  can 
judge  by  what  remains  of  the  Stone)  are  plac'd  juft  as  thofe 
are  that  are  feen  upon  old  Grave-Stones,   and  fome  other 
circumftances  would  move  one  to  thihk  that  it  lay  fiat  upon 
the  Ground,   and  was  nothing  elfe  but  a  Grave-Stone.    But 
granting  it  were  a  Grave-Stone,  yet  it  muft  be  withal  allow'd 
that  the  Per/on  on  whom  it  was  laid  was  a  Bem/keJer  to  the 
Place,  and  ereded  a  Chanterie  (une  Chaunterie)  himfelf  at

otherwise  *tis  a  Book  ,of  value,   and    more  Authority  is 
to  be  given  to  it,   than  is  given  to  Poetical  Books  of  late 
Years.     The  Poets  of  thole  times,    for  the  moil  part, 
kept  clofe  to  Truths  and  did  not  think  it  for  their  Credit 
and  Reputation  to  corrupt  matter  of  Faft    with  the  Ad- 
ditions of  Fancy  and  Fable.    They  thought  they  had  per- 
form'd  the  Parts  of  a  Poet  to  good  Advantage  if  they  put 
their  Collections  into  Rhime,  without  any  thing  of  G^/},  where- 
by to  abufe  the  Reader  and  lead  him  into  Error.    'Tis  for 
that  reafon  that  StoreYs  Book  of  the  Life  and  Death  of  Car- 
dinal Wolfey,  written  in  Englijb  Verie  and  printed  at  Lon- 
don in  mdxcix.  in  ten  Sheets  in  Quarto,  was  much  efteem'd 
and  cry'd  up*  5  and  if  it  can  be  met  with  ( for  'tis  become 
very  rare)  'tis  poffible  fome  good  Hi/foricai  Remarks  may 
be  collected  from  it,  in  order  to  the  writing  of  a  jujl  and 
faithful  Account  of  the  Life  and  Death  of  this  Great  Car- 
dinal; tho'  the  chief  Bufintfe  being  to  defcribe  him  as  a 
Minifter  of  State,   who  had  the  file  Management  and  Di- 
rection of  the  Affairs  of  England  for  feveral  Years,  the  beft 
materials  are  to  be  exfpeded  from  the  Manufcritt  Papers  and 
Parchments  in  the  Cottonian  Library,  in  the  Rous,  in  the  Ex- 
chequer, and  in  other  Offices  of  Record,  which  ought  to  be 
diligently   and  carefully  fearch'd  and  examin'd,  before  fo 
great  and  defirable  a  work  can  be  compleated.   But  (that  I 
may  get  out  of  this  DigreJJion,  into  which  I  have  been  led 
by  citing  the  Book  concerning  KingEdward  the  IVth.)  as 
foon  as  King  Henry  heard  of  the  dtfmal  news  of  the  Death 
of  this  unfortunate  Lady,  he  became  a  great  Benefactor  to  the 
Nunnery  of  God/low,   which  was  chiefly  occaiion'd  by  the 
Ajffe&ion  he  bare  to  Rofamund.     Her  Father  was  a  Perfon 
of  a  very  noble  and  gentile  Education.     He  had  imbib'd  Re- 
ligious Principles,  and,  however  unhappy  in  his  IJfue,  was 
a  Man  of  a  virtuous  Life,  and  maintain'd  a  good  Character. 
He  was  himfelf  a  Benefaftor  to  this  Place,  and  was  bu- 
xied  at  it  in  a  Grave  clofe  by  his  Wife,  who  died  before 
her  Daughter  Rofamund.    King  Henry  fpar'd  no  Co/Is  that 
the  Tumb  of  this  Lady,  whom  he  fo  much  admir'd,  not  only 
upon  account  of  her  exquifite  Beauty,  but  for  the  Sweetnefs 
of  her  Temper,  fbould  be  adorn'd  and  fet  out  with  the  ut-

mofl  Magnificence,  that  no  Reflexion  might  be  made  upon  his 
Royal  Character,  as  if  he  were  forgetful  and  unmindful  of  her 
after  her  Deceafe.  This  Affetlion  made  him  fo  careful  of  her 
while  living,  that  he  prefently  provided  her  of  every  thing 
that  (he  defir'd.  One  of  the  Prefents  he  made  her  was  the 
rich  Cabinet  that  is  mentioned  by  Higden,  Brompton  and 
Knighton  to  have  been  prefervM  in  their  time  at  God/low,  on 
which  were  reprefented  the  Figures  of  allforts  of  Champions,

7>eadt,  and  others  with  much  lefs  Abfurdity  make  it  to  be  a 
fmall  Coffer,  or  Cabinet,  of  two  Feet  in  Breadth.  For  had 
it  been  her  Coffin,  is  it  at  all  probable  that  it  would  have 
be~n  permitted  to  have  flood  with  fuch  Figures  on  it  in  die 
mojl  Holy  Fart  of  the  Church  f  Is  it  likely  that  a  Coffin,  on 
which  were  to  be  feen  fuch  odd  Pojlures  of  Men  and  Ani- 
mals, would  have  been  fuffer'd  to  ftand  in  a  confecrated 
Chapel,  or  that  die  Religious  of  thofe  Times,  efpecially  thofe 
of  this  Nunnery  ( who  were  famous  for  their  Chaflity)  would 
have  given  way  that  any  PicJures,  or  other  Representations 
of  this  kind,  which  were  contriv'd  rather  for  carrying  on 
Amours  and  Lafcivious  Intrigues  than  for  advancing  Religion, 
ihould  be  plac'd  fo  near  their  Eyes,  to  divert  their  Minds 
from  a  devout  and  holy  Performance  of  their  Religious  Offices  f 
Since  therefore  this  does  not  feem  confident  with  the  Re- 
verence that  is  due  to  a  confecrated  Place,  'tis  more  rea- 
fonable,  I  am  perfwaded,  to  understand  ci/la  of  a  Coffin, 
which,  in  all  probability,  flood  in  the  Chapiter-Houfe  wfcen 
Higden,  Brombton  and  Knighton  flourifh'd ;  and  'twas  in  the 
Chapiter-Houfe  too  that  her  Tomb  was  to  be  feen  in  their 
times,  it  being  frequently  fhewn  by  the  Nunns  to  their  Re- 
lations and  others  who  vifited  z  Place  that  Was  much  noted  for

celebrated  and  perform'd  in  it  by  a  Chaplain,  who  was  no* 
minated  and  appointed  by  the  perpetual  Vicar  of  St.  Peter's 
Parijb3  who  fatisfy'd  and  paid  him  out  of  his  own  Expenfes* 
and  had  a  Power  01  removing  him  at  his  Pleafure.    Whenever 
the  Bodit,  Reefy  Bel/He  and  Ornaments  of  St.  Peter's  were 
decay'd  and  needed  Repair  9  the  Inhabitants  of  Wotuercote 
always  us'd  to  pay  and  contribute  the  third  Part  of  the  Charges 
and  Exbenfes  upon  fuch  Qccafions j  and  the  thing  was  never 
difputed  nor  contefted  'till  the  Year  mccccxiu,  which  was 
the  Beginning  of  King  Henry  the  Fifth's  Reign.  At  that  time 
the  Bedie  and  Reef  of  the  Church  being  run  to  ruin  and  de- 
cay, the  Church-Warden^  out  of  a  true  fenfe  of  their  Duty* 
and  a  juft  Regard  to  their  Credit  and  Reputation,  took  ef- 
fectual Methods  to  have  them  repaired,  the  full  Expenses  of 
which   came  to  60.  Nobles,   the.  third  Part  whereof  they 
charg'd,   according  to  Cuftom,   upon  Wotoercoti\   but  the 
Wardens  of  the  Church  or  Chapel  of  Wobuercote  thinking  that 
this  was  an  unrea/enahle  Impofition9  and  that  the  cuftom  was 
owing  originally  to  Incroadment,  they  peremptorily  refus'd 
to  pay  their  Share.     Upon  this  a  Suit  of  Law  commene'd, 
and  'twas  given  againft  the  Inhabitants  of  Wohercote  by  Mr. 
John  Barton  the  Arch-deacon  of  Oxford's  Official.    This 
fo  incens'd  and  inrag'd  them  that  they  prefently  appeal'd 
from  his  Sentence  to  the  See  of  Rome,  and  prefented  a  Re-

per  annum  to  be  paid  by  Wolvercote.    This  Note  is  not  the 
Title  of  the  In/hrwmenti  but  was  added  by  a  later  Hand  on 
purpofe  to  (hew  that  St.  Peter9 t  compounded  with  Wefoer- 
ate  for  that  Sum,  and  for  the  future  would  part  wkh  their 
Priviledges  upon  condition  fuch  a  Sum  was  constantly  and 
duly  paid.    The  chief  reafon  of  the  contefl,  before  accounted 
for,  having  been  die  great  Sum  of  Money  (for  fo  20.  Nobles. 
was  then  reckon'd)  that  St.  Peter's  charg'd  them  with,  we 
may  fuppofe  that  there  had  not  been  any  fuch  expenfive  Re- 
pairs fince  it's  firft  Foundation  by  St.  Grimbald.     They  did 
not  grudge  to  contribute  in  finall  Summs9  but  when  they 
came  to  be  large,  they  look'd  upon  it  as  an  Hardjkip,  and     ■ 
thought  k  worth  their  while  to  examin  the  Jufhufs  of  the 
Claim.    Or  it  may  be,  St.  Peter's  being  once  the  Univer/ky- 
Church,  the  Expenfes  for  Repairs  and  other  things  of  that 
kind  might  be  defray'd  by  the  Scholars,  and  fo  there  would 
be  no  Difference  between  Wolvercote  and  St.  Peter's  upon 
that  Score.    St.  Grimbald  feems  to  have  founded  the  Church 
on  purpofe  for  the  ufe  of  the  Univerjttyy  notwithstanding  it 
be  not  egprefs'd  in  the  famous  Pajjage  of  Affer9  by  which  we 
are  affur'd  that  he  was  the  founder.  So  that  tho'  it  was  made 
a  Parochial  church,  yet  being  defign'd  principally  for  the 
Univerfity,  'tis  likely  certain  Rules  or  Orders  concerning  it's 
continual  Repair  were  drawn  up,  which  were  to  be  pun&ually 
obferv'd  by  the  Members  of  the  Unsverfity*  and  the  Parijh- 
ioners  were  not  burtfaen'd  any  farther  than  as  concern'd  their 
own  Affairs  exclufive  of  thole  of  the  Univerjky.    Here  Di- 
vine  Service  was  publicity  celebrated  for  the  whole  Univer* 
fity,  and  Degrees  were  confcrrM,  and  other  Scbolaftic  Bufinefi 
performed  in  it  in  the  fame  manner  as  had  been  formerly  prac- 
tise in  the  Church  of  St.  Giles  «•    For  tho'  I  have  infmuated 
above  /s  that  St.  Giles's  Church  was  built  by  Ekvine  Fitz  Gode- 
pfe9  yet  there  had  been  a  church  long  before  his  time  in  the

is  maintain'd  by  feveral  of  our  beft  Antiquaries  and  'tis  ex-

Laws.    The  fame  Prohibition  alfo  took  place  amongft  the 
Romans  upon  Promulgation  of  the  XII.  Tables.    For  that 
reafon  'twas  that  Cicero  built  a  moft  goodly  and  pleafant  Houfe 
at  Puteoli  «,  which  he  call'd  Academia,  by  way  of  Allufion 
to  the  College  of  that  Name  at  Athens*    Here  he  compiled  his 
S^uetftiones  Academic*,  and  he  intended  to  have  been  buried 
at  it j  but  Providence  decreed  otherwifc.    Thofe  that  cul- 
tivated Learning  amongft  the  Britains  affe&ed  Privacy,  and 
they  cautioufly  avoided  all  Difturbance  in  profecuting  their 
Studies.    They  delighted  in  Woods  and  Groves,  and  were 
much  addided  to  Meditation.  Nothing  could  better  fuit  with 
fuch  Tempers  than  the  pleafant  Woods  and  Groves  about  Ox- 
ford ;  whence  'twas  that  the  Vniverjity  was  then  ftyl'd  Bel- 
lefitum  or  BeUefitum.    The  Woods  have  been  fince  deftroy'd, 
but  we  have  an  Account  of  them  in  fome  of  our  Writers: 
And  that  they  might  avoid  the  Noi/e  of  the  Town  they  plant- 
ed themfelves  at  fome  diftance  from  it.    None  were  permit- 
ted to  dwell  amongft  them  but  Students,  and  fuch  as  the  Con- 
veniences of  Life  required.    Perhaps  'tis  upon  this  Account 
that  'twas  not  made  a  Garrifon  by  the  Romans*    Being  un- 
willing to  create  any  Troubles  to  the  Students,  they  might 
therefore  forbid  the  Sofddiers  from  fettling  at  Oxford. 
Hence  we  may  account  for  it's  being  omitted  in  Antoninus* 
Nor  will  it  feem  ftrange  that  Roman  Coyns  fhould  not  be 
found  in  a  Place,  which  was  not  one  of  their  Stations,  Gar- 
rifons,  or  Forts.

this  cannot  be  one  of  the  Gold  Pieces  given  by  King  Ed-

has  not  been  pleas'd  to  propole  his  reafons  for  his  Diffint,  I 
fliall  here  offer  two  why  I  am  inclin'd  to  differ  from  Dr. 
Plot  and  Mr.  Walker.  The  firft  is,  that  CJ  o  (for  I  obferv'd

old  MS.  quoted  by  Henry  Stevens,  in  the  Appendix  to  his  Greek 
Ibtfaurus  (col.  225.)  the  fourth  Month  of  the  Cyprians  and  Pa-

Thus  in  Britain  Chriftmas  was  call'd  J>uli  or  yotft,  which

Prince  much  addifted  to  Vanity.  Is  it  likely  that  (o  pious, 
modefi,  religious  and  Virtuous  a  King  (for  the  Rigour  he  fnew'd 
towards  his  Mother  in  making  her  undergo  the  Fiery  Tryal 
of  Onfeal  was  the  effecl  of  a  Religious  Zeal)  would  fuffer 
iiich  Letters  to  be  put  upon  his  Medals  or  Coyns  which  carry 
in  them  manifeft  Tokens  of  Oftentation  f  Tho'  he  had  all  the 
Properties  of  a  Confeffor%  ytt  'tis  not  probable  he  would  af«* 
fume  that7//Zf  to  himfelf.  Tis  more  fuitable  with  the  Cha- 
nufter  of  a  £*«/  and  m^j/?  King,  to  prohibit  fuch  Infcriptiont 
to  be  inferted  upon  any  of  his  Monuments ;  and  therefore 
'tis  likely  that  this  Title  was  given  him  after  he  was  dead: 
And  'tis  no  fmall  confirmation  of  this  fuppofition  that  he 
is  not  ftyl'd  Confejfor  in  any  of  his  Other  Coyns,  (in  which 
withal  his  Name  appears  at  length  ;)  nor  do  I  remember  that 
any  of  our  Htftorians  relate  that  he  had  this  Title  given  him 
while  living  in  any  of  the  Publici  Monuments  that  were  to 
celebrate  and  perpetuate  his  Memory*  The  fecond  reafon  of 
my  Dijfent  is  this,  that  whereas  there  is  the  Greet  Letter  a 
upon  this  Gold  Piece,  'tis  very  probable  that  the  other  Let- 
ters are  alfo  Greek.  What  therefore  if  +  n  CJ  o  be  nothing 
more  than  XPIZTQ  xothfi  ?  o  for  a  is  often  in  ancient 
Monuments ;  as  alfo  n  for  o.  Whence  'tis  that  in  one  of 
the  old  Statues  preferv'd  in  the  Gardens  of  the  Lord  Leo- 
ninfler  in  Northampton-Jbire  (which  is  one  of  the  mojl  confi- 
da-able  Collections  of  that  kind  in  the  World)  we  have 
XAnzTHPJQN  for  xapisthpion.  And  (if  in  this  Cafe  we 
may  be  allowM  to  co  fo  high)  in  the  famous  old  Infcription 
of  the  Famefian  Gardens  (which  Jofeph  Scaliger  has  explaih'd 
with  great  Depth  of  Learning  in  his  admirable  Additions  to 
Eufebius's  Cbronicon)  we  have  o  for  n.  Upon  which  occa-

feme  Awn*  Per/on  (for  which  purpofc  the  Holes  in  it  were 
made)  who  thought  that  by  this  means  he  fhould  the  more 
cafily  obtain  the  Divine  AJftflance.  Another  Conjecture  may 
be  alfo  advane'd,  viz.  that  whereas  on  one  fide  of  the  Piece 
the  a  is  plac'd  before  the  +,  the  +  may  fignifie  either  the 
Crofs  or  our  Saviour*  and  the  O  may  be  an  Adverb  of  calling  ; 
and  then  the  Letters  C5  o  will  ftand  for  xoxon  or  xqeon.  Du 
Frefne  in  the  DiJfertaUon  that  I  have  cited  above  takes  no-

ing to  and  invoking  either  our  Saviour  or  the  Crofs.  And 
that  'tis  really  the  Image  of  feme  Emperor*  or  Prince*  and 
not  of  our  Saviour*  the  triple  Crown  upon  the  Head  feems 
to  evince;  whereas  our  Saviour  is  reprefented  with  Rays* 
about  his  Head*  or  with  femething  efre  equivalent*  both  in 
MSS.  and  other  Monuments  of  Antiquity.  But  thefe  being 
nothing  more  than  Conjectures*  I  lay  no  ftrefs  upon  them,

Margaret,  Wife  to  King  Edward  the  Firft ;  but  the  Rules 
/he  left  tfaem  being  ftrangely  negleded  and  tranfgrefs'd,  and 
the  Foundation  not  kept  in  that  due  Repair  as  ought  to  have 
been  exfpe&ed,  King  Edward  the  Second  vifited  the  Place, 
reformed  the  ^hnjes,  and  reduc'd  all  things  again  into  their 
propfer  Order*  TTis  for  that  neafon  that  he  is  commonly 
fcckon'd  to  have  been  the  Founder.  He  fram'd  new  Orders 
and  Statutes  both  for  preferring  the  If ofpitai  and  for  elefking 
fit  and  proper  Members.  Queen  Margaret  at  the  fame  time 
fbe  founded  the  Hojpitat  buih  alio  a  convenient  Chapel  5  which 
being  in  a  manner  run  to  ruin  in  King  Edward  the  Second'* 
Reign,  'twas  theh  rebuilt ;  for  which  pious  End  John  the 
Son  of  Laurence  SeYthe  (a  Perfon  of  a  religious  and  ifewrt 
Lift  and  Contoerfation)  gave  eighteen  Maris,  upon  this 
Condition,  that  notwithstanding  at  that  time  he  lay  un- 
do- no  fo<£&  Infirmities  he  might  be  elefted  into  the  Hof- 
pital  whenfoever  a  Vacancy  fhould  fall  out.  This  Condi- 
tion was  accordingly  obftrv'd,  the  King  hitirfelf  permpto- 
tih  requiring  and  commanding  it.  Being  fo  great  and  con* 
fiderable  a  Benefactor,  open  his  JDirfA  he  was  buried,  I 
think,  in  a  Vauh  at  the  Eaft  End  of  the  Chapel.  This 
iltem$  *  to  to  me  to  hav6  been  the  Vault  that  was  difcover'd 
ten  Years  flncc,  when  one  Mrs.  Tubman9  the  Wife  of  Mr. 
George  Tubman,  was  buried  there.  At  the  fame  time  three 
Stulh  and  a  great  many  other  Bones  were  taken  up.  Over 
the  Vauh  there  lay  a  long  Stone,  without  Infcription,  part  of 
Which  hath  been  fmce  turn'd  into  a  Monument  for  the  {aid 
Mrs.  Tubman.  By  th£  Statutes  of  the  Foundation  one  in 
Frlejts  Orders  was  to  be  Chaplain.  For  his  Pains  he  had  fix 
Mdrli  per  annum  altefflr'd  him,  which  as  it  was  a  fuffciont 
Maintenance  in  thofe  times,  fo  'twas  afterwards,  unlefi  I  am 
fhiftaken,  to  be  increased  by  the  Overfeers  of  the  Hofpital  as 
the  value  of  Corn  and  other  things  was  raisM,  that  the  Priejl 
6t  Chaplain  might  not  be  reduc'd  to  Mi/ery  and  Want.  The 
Chapel  hd-e  was  formerly  coverM  with  Lead,  but  in  the  late 
unparaMd  Rebellion  'twas  torn  off  and  carry'd  away  by 
feme  of  thofe  reftlefs  and  wicked  Men,  who  call'd  them-

the  Notitia  Monaftica,  written  and  publifh'd  by  the 
learned  Dr.  Thomas  Tanner  Chancellor  of  Norwich. 
Yet  we  do  not  learn  from  either  of  thefe  Books,  nor  from 
any  other  Books  or  Writings  (that  I  have  feen)  who  was 
(he  Founder  of  it.  From  the  Monajlicon  however  we  ga- 
ther that  'tis  as  ancient  as  the  time  of  King  Henry  the 
II.  and  perhaps  it  might  have  been  built  before.  For  the 
firft  Charters  there  publifh'd  fpeak  of  it  as  a  Place  already 
built,  and  the  Benefaftors  fpecify'd  in  that  Work  are  only 
fuch  as  were  Contributors  towards  the  Inlargement  of  the 
Endowments,  and  took  care  to  ratify  and  confirm  what  had 
been  piouffy  beftow'd  by  their  Anceflors.  The  Saint,  to 
whom  the  Chapel  or  Church,  belonging  to  this  plea&nt 
Nunnery,  was  dedicated,  was  St.  Nicholas,  as  we  are  af- 
fur'd  from  the  feveral  Charters  that  are  publifh'd  to  this  pur- 
pofe  by  the  excellent  Compilers  of  the  Monajlicon,  Yet  fome- 
times  St.  Afary  is  joyn'd  with  St.  Nicholas  \  and  in  one  of 
the  Evidences  both  §t,  Mary  and  St.  Edmund;  not  that  this 
Chapel  was  dedicated  to  three  different  Saints,  but  becaufe 
perhaps  there  were  three  diflinfl  Chapels  or  Churches  that  had 
4II  a  Store  in  the  Gift.  Q{  what  Bignefs  and  Form  the 
Chapel  was  at  firft  we  do  not  learn ;  but  from  fome  Gir- 
cumflanees  in  the  Monajlicon  we  may  gather,  that  'twas 
neither  large  nor  beautiful,    Tbi*  was  one  reafon  that  in 

the

tfee  time  of  King  Henry  the  HI.  the  Nunns  took  care  to 
have  it  rebuilt  and  inlarg'd  to  a  decent,  comely,  and  light* 
fome  Fahrick\  in  carrying  on  and  finifliing  of  which  they  did 
not  want  feveral  liberal  and  generous  BenefacJors*  They  had 
alfo  the  Countenance  and  Ajfiftance  of  the  rope,  who  was  for- 
ward and  willing  to  encourage  fo  excellent  and  worthy  a  De-  ' 
fgn.  That  this  might  be  the  more  conspicuous,  he  iflu'd 
out  a  Bull  to  the  Diocefes  of  Lincoln,  £ty  and  Scrum,  by 
virtue  of  which  he  took  off  the  fpace  of  ten  Days  Pen- 
nance  from  all  fuch  as  fliould  be  pieas'd  to  become  Bene- 
faclors to  this  new  Work.  There  is  no  reafon  to  doubt, 
but  it  found  it's  intended  EfTe&,  and,  it  may  be,  more

m  namely  on  the  South  fide  of  the  Nunnery.']  About  a  Quarter 
of  a  Mile  Eastwards  from  this  Place  ia  another  great  Farm  Houfe 
commonly  calPd  The  Minjhery.  And  this  mod  People  affirm  to 
have  been  properly  the  Nunnery  of  lAttlenorc,  or  Sandford.  They 
add  withal  that  this  great  Houfe  by  Sandford  Church  is  really  th4 
Remains  of  the  old  Preccptory.  But  what  feems  to  make  againft 
the  latter  part  of  the  AfTertion  is  this,  that  the  Knights  Templars 
were  (upprefled  in  the  Reign  of  Edward  II.  and  tho'  the  Houfe  be 
very  much  ihatter'd,  yet  it  does  not  appear  to  me  to  have  been 
founded  'till  fome  Years  after  that  time.  There  are  alfo  the 
Heads  of  veil'd  Numu  hVd  on  divers  Places  of  the  Out- fide  of  it, 
thereby  fhewing  that  it  belong'd  to  Nunns.  But  as  to  the  former 
branch  of  the  Aflertion,  I  readily  allow  that  the  Minjberi  was  not 
only  a  Religious  Houfe,  but  was  likewife  affign'd  to  the  ufe  of 
Nunns.  Bones  and  Coffins  have  been  frequently  found  at  it,  as  I  ' 
have  been  often  inform M  by  Perfons  of  good  Credit.  So  that  'tis 
likely  the  lame  Nunns  had  both  thefe  Places,  and  the  Minjhery 
might  have  been  the  principal  Houfe  of  the  two.  I  cannot  learn 
that  ever  any  Reliques  of  Bodies  or  Coffins  have  been  dug  up  either 
in,  or  by,  the  Chapel  on  the  South  Side  of  the  Houfe  by  Sandford 
Church,  and  therefore  am  ready  to  imagin  that  'twas  appropriated 
only  to  the  Offices  of  Prayer,  and  that  the  Offices  for  the  Dead 
&e.  were  perform'd  at  the  Minjhery,  where  there  was  a  Cemitery 
proper  for  that  purpofe.  But  'tis  hard  to  determine  any  thing  from 
the  Monaftlcon  where  both  Places  are  confounded  together,  fi  On 
the  North  Side  of  the  Farm  Houfe  by  Sandford  out  the  Gate  is  cut

ther as  much  to  the  Honour  of  the  Nation)  out  of  Materials 
they  made  little  or  no  ufe  of:  fo  often  have  I  thought  with 
my  felf,  provided  I  be  judgM  a  fit  Perfon,  the  Defign  agree- 
able, and  the  Encouragement  proportionable,  that  I  might 
alfo  in  fome  meafure  deferve  of  my  Country,  if  I  would  re- 
aflitme  their  Labours,  and  once  more  take  a  Journey  at  leaft 
through  England  and  Walts,  to  make  a  ftri&  (earch,  and  give 
a  faithful  Account  to  fueh  as  fhall  encourage  me  of  all  fuch 
Things  (worthy  notice)  which  they  have  wholly  pafs'd  by, 
or  but  imperfectly  mentioned.  In  order  hereunto,  Sir,  I 
humbly  make  it  my  Requeft  that  you  would  be  pleas'd  to 
give  me  your  Thoughts  concerning  the  Defign  as  it  is  here- 
under hid  down,  arid  in  cafe  it  be  approv'd  of,  by  what 
nieana  it  may  beft  be  carried  on.  And  that  by  the  way  you 
would  favourably  pardon  the  Rudenefs  of  the  Draught,  it  be- 
ing intended  only  for  a  bare  Information. 

L3  The 


166  Dr.  Plot's  Aceeetnt  rf  a  defign' d  Journey 

The  Defign  in  general  is  a  Journey  through  England  21A 
JVaUsy  for  the  Promotion  of  Learning  and  Trade,  which  in- 
deed are  the  Things  chiefly  aim'd  at.  But  befide  thefe  of 
Profit  there  are  others  of  Pleafure  that  fall  within  the  Verge 
of  this  Defign,  intending  in  the  fame  Journey  to  make  a 
ftrid  Inquiry  after  all  Curiofities  both  of  Art  and  Nature, 
fuch  I  mean  as  tranfcend  the  ordinary  Performances  of  the 
one,  and  fere  out  of  the  ordinary  Road  of  the  other :  and  of 
thefe  promifcuoufly  and  more  particularly  as  they  fell  under 
the  following  Heads. 

And  Jirft,  whereas  it  was  a  confiderable  Part  of  the  Bufi~ 
nefs  of  John  Leland  with  all  imaginable  Care  to  colled  and 
preferve  the  ancient  MSS.  Books  of  the  Abbeys  and  Mo- 
nafteries  then  upon  their  Diflblution,  and  that  notwithftand- 
ing  his  induftrious  Performances  great  numbers  there  were 
that  never  came  to  his  Hands  \  and  fuch  as  did,  quickly  af- 
ter his  Death,  through  the  Iniquity  of  the  Times,  being  di- 
fpers'd  again,  great  part  of  the  MSS.  in  England  are,  as  it 
were,  loit  to  the  World,  lying  fecretly  in  Corners  and  in 
private  Hands,  no  Man  knowing  either  what  MSS.  thefe  be, 
or  where  to  find  them :  it  (hall  be  one  of  the  principal  Ends 
of  my  Journey  to  fearch  all  the  Publick  Libraries  of  Cathe- 
dral and  Collegiate  Churches,  of  the  Colleges  in  each  Uni- 
versity, and  other  Publick  Libraries  wherefoever,  and  make 
diftind  Catalogues  of  them  all.  And  as  for  fuch  MSS.  as 
fhall  be  found  in  private  Hands,  it  would  not  be  amifs  if 
the  Univerfity  of  Oxford  would  imploy  me  to  buy  up  (if

Bcdlejan  Library ;  and  where  they  will  by  no  means  be  parted 
with  to  procure  leave  (if  worth  while)  that  an  Amanuenfis 
may  tranfcribe  the  whole,  or  at  leaft  have  the  Perufal  and 
Liberty  to  make  Abridgments,  as  Leland  did  of  many.  But 
if  neither  of  thefe  will  be  admitted,  'twill  be  fome  fatif- 
fa&ion  that  they  are  added  to  the  Catalogues  of  the  reft,  to 
inform  Men  that  there  are  fuch  Books,  and  in  what  Libra- 
ries and  in  whofe  Hands  they  are.  Thefe  Catalogues  tmajk

fuch  as  undertake  the  reprinting  of  ancient  Authors.  Tor 
by  thefe  they  may  quickly  know  where  there  be  any  MSS. 
Copies  of  the  Author  in  hand,  to  confult  the  various  Read-

Defign,  befide  my  long  delight  in  fearching  of  Antiquities, 
I  have  procur'd  Sir  Henry  Spelman's  Key,  with  Dire&ons 
from  another  how  to  know  the  Letters  that  are  iifijally  mif*

Next  I  fliall  make  ftri&  fearch  into  all  Mines,  Minerals, 
Earths,  Soils  that  are  of  any  account  in  this  Nation :  be- 
lieving that  there  may  be  as  many  of  each,  and  as  good 
unknown,  as  there  are  known :  which  poffibly  may  be  dif- 
coverM  to  great  Advantage.  Under  this  Head  I  intend  an 
exaft  account  of  the  Mines  of  WaUsy  Cornwall,  Somerfet- 
Jbirt  and  Derbj-flnre*  &c.  of  the  Iron-Bullets  found  in  the 
Grounds  at  Bedminten  in  Gloiuefter-jbire ;  of  Pingitis  or  Black- 
Lead,  what  it  is,  and  how  it  grows,  being  found  only  in 
England  and  no  good  Account  given  of  it ;  of  Fuller's-Earth, 
to  be  had  at  no  Place  but  in  Kent,  as  'tis  confidently  aflerted. 
Of  thefe  therefore  I  (hall  fearch  diligently  in  other  Places* 
Of  Manganeft  and  Lapis  Calaminaris.  the  beft  in  the  World 
is  had  at  Afenatp-Hills.  Here  1  fliall  inquire  whether  any 
Zaffer  in  England  f  Of  the  feveral  forts  of  Ocres,  yellow 
and  red ;  of  Tobacco-Pipe  Clays ;  Sands  for  the  Glafs-Houfes, 
fuch  as  the  White  Sand  at  Maid/lone  for  Chryftall,  and  a 
courier  fort  at  Woolwich  in  Kent  for  Green  Glafs  5  of  the 
Cole  of  Providence  in  Wales.  I  fliall  examin  alfo  the  Soils 
where  I  find  either  Timber  or  Fruit-Trees  to  flourifh  ex- 
tremely, and  fo  for  all  forts  of  Grain,  and  other  Vegetables, 
as  Hops  (sic.  for  the  Dire&ion  of  all  Perfons  to  plant  and 
low  in  the  moft  agreeable  Soils.  For  this  purpofe  I  have 
gotten  a  competent  Knowledge  in  fineing  and  feparating 
Metalls,  baking  of  Earths*  and  examining  of  Soils;  and 
when  at  any  time  any  thing  confiderable  occurs  I  doubt  not 
the  Affiftance  of  one  of  the  moft  eminent  Artifts  of  England. 

After  Metalls,  Minerals,  &c.  it  will  not  be  improper  to 
inquire  of  Medicinal  and  Petrifying  Waters,  fuppos'd  to  be 
made  fo  by  them.  Of  thefe  there  be  many  in  England  well 
Jcnown  5  but  no  doubt  there  are  as  many  or  more  Aqua  in- 
cognita of  concealed  \Vorth  and  Virtue,  and  perhaps  no- 
thing inferior  to  thofe  which  in  Fame  are  far  above  them. 
For  the  Tryal  and  Diftin&ion  of  thefe,  though  I  believe  I 
underftand  fo  much  that  I  fliould  feldom  miftake  the  Mark, 
yet  I  intend  to  be  better  inftru&ed.  Such  are  the  Waters 
of  the  Bothy  Tunbridgey  Epfom  and  Aftrops  the  Spaw  in  Tork- 
flirty  the  Petrifying  Waters  of  Wockey-HoXty  and  of  Tenter- 
jfri-Steeple  in  Ktnt>  for  which  it  is  no  lefs  famous  than  for 

being

for  that  they  as  fecretly  and  certainly  cure  the  Cramp  as  the 
ifOad-Stone  draws  Iron.  Of  all  others  that  feem  to  be  htjus 
ffatur*,  fuch  are  Afleria,  Mroitis,  Brontia,  Contu  Ammonit, 
Belemnitef,  Bafahes,  Pifolithos,  with  others  that  exceed  the 
ordinary  Rate  of  Stones,  P/eudoadamas  Cbri/folhts,  Smcdnum, 
Marmor,  Afagnes.  Of  fuch  Stones  alfo  that  feem  to  have 
been  Wood  petrjfy'd,  fuch  are  the  Pillars  in  the  Cloyfter  at 
Canterbury,  and  fuch  moft  certainly  are  many  of  the  Stones 
with  which  they  fay  they  make  Copperice,  of  which  they 
fay  there  is  more  in  the  Me  of  Sbepey  than  in  all  the  World 
befide,  therefore  ftri&  fearcb  fhall  be  made  upon  other 
Shoars.  All  thefe  I  know  to  be  Natives  of  England,  and 
have  moft  of  them  by  me,  and  am  inform'd  that  very  good' 
Agats,  and  Jajpers,  are  found  here  alfo,  Of  thefe  and  what*

ijO  Dr.  Plot's  Account  $f  a  defign'J  Journey 

Next  I  {hall  enquire  of  Animals,  and  nrft  of  ftrange  People, 
fuch  as  the  Gubbings  in  Devon-fore,  the  People  of*  Cbarleton- 
Curley  in  Leycefler-Jhhre.  Of  any  ftrange  Accidents  that  at- 
tend Corporations  or  Families,  as  that  the  Deans  of  Rocbefler 
ever  fmce  the  Foundation  by  turnes  have  died  Deans  and 
Bifhops.  The  Bird  with  a  white  Breaft,  that  haunts  the  Fa- 
mily of  £  Oxtnbam  near  Exeter*  iuft  before  the  Death  of  any 
of  that  Family.  The  Bodies  of  Trees  that  are  feen  to  fwioa 
jn  a  Pool  y  near  Brereton  in  Cbejbire,  a  certain  warning  to  the 
Heir  of  that  Honourable  Family  to  prepare  for  the  next 
World.  Here  alfo  of  extraordinary  Births,  as  well  as  Deaths, 
of  Men  and  Beaits.  Of  Perfons  eminent  upon  any  Account, 
as  extreme  Age,  fuch  as  Thomas  Parr.  Number  or  Children, 
fuch  as  the  Lady  Temtle,  who  before  flic  dy'd  faw  feven  hun- 
dred defended  from  her.  Here  alfo  of  the  Cuftoms  of  the 
Towns  and  Parifhes  at  Eafter-Proceffions,  or  other  Times,

in  Kent.  Of  fuch  Animals  as  are  Friends  or  Enemies  to  any 
Part  of  Land  or  Sea.  The  Birds  call'd  Wheat-Ears  are  found 
only  in  Suffix.  Fifh  alfo  are  peculiar  to  fome  Countries,  as 
Pilchards  to  Cornwal,  Bretts  to  Lincobt-Jbire.  No  Ratts,no 
Moles  or  Wants  were  ever  found  in  the  Ifle  of  Sbepey.  No 
Ratts  or  Mice  at  Fijbtoft  in  Lincoln-Jhire.  No  Hoggs  ever 
known  to  root  on  a  Green  near  Towcefier  in  Northampton- 
Jbire.  At  all  fuch  Places  the  Nature  of  the  Soil  muft  be  look't 
into,  and  the  reafons  found  out  why  thefe  Creatures  are  fo 
much  either  Friends  or  Enemies  to  the  refpe&ive  Places :  as 
'tis  prefum'd  that  the  reafon  why  neither  Ratts  or  Wants  live 
in  the  IQl&qS  Sbepey  is  becaufe  there  the  Earth  is  full  of  Cop- 
perice-Stones,  which  are  poyfonous  to  them. 

I  {hall  endeavour  alfo  to  make  a  full  Colle&ion  of  Britijb, 
Romany  Saxon,  and  ancient  Englijh  Money,  found  very  plen- 
tifully in  many  Parts  of  the  Nation.  So  likewife  of  Urns,

alfo  to  find  the  Ifle  Barucbus  on  the  Coaft  of  Wales,  menti- 
oned by  Varenius  in  his  Geography,  in  which  he  fays  there's  a 
Cave  from  whence  are  heard  tne  Noife  of  Hammers,  the 
Blowing  of  Bellows,  as  if  it  were  the  Shop  of  the  Cyclops. 
As  alfo  the  Cave  lying  under  a  Mountain  in  Britanny,  men- 
tioned by  Clemens  AUxandrinus  *,  which  receiving  Wind  at

THE 

PREFACE. 

WHEN  the  Second  Volume  of  this  Work  was  aU 
moji  fnijh'd  at  the  Prefs,  we  receivd  the  me- 
lancholy and  affii&ing  News  of  the  Lo/s  of  the 
Reverend  Dr.  Henry  Aldrich,  Dean  of  Christ- 
Church,  who  died  at  London  on  Thurfday  Dec.  14. 
mdccx.  and  was  buried  eight  days  after  (viz.  on  Friday 
*  Dec.  22.)  in  the  Dormitory  of  the  Cathedral  of  Christ- 
Church.     If  we  confider  him  either  as  a  Chriftian,  a 
Gentleman,  or  a  Scholar,  be  was  one  of  the  Greateft 
Men  in  England.     And  as  be  was  a  very  learned  Man, 
fo,  like  Bi/hop  Fell,  be  always  promoted  and  encouraged 
Learning  to  the  utmoji  of  bis  Power.  As  foon  as  the  Firjl 
Volume  of  this  Itinerary  was  put  into  bis  Hands  be  read 
it  over  with  great  care,  and  prefently  after  fent  for  me9 
fooke  very  honourably  of  the  Performance,  commended  the 
Defign  and  the  Method  obferv'd  by  me,  and  in  the  moft 
obliging  Terms  (for  be  was  eminent  for  Modefty  and 
Humility)  offer  d  to  affijl  me  with  whatever  Money  J 
Jbould  have  occqfionfor  inputting  out  the  following  Vo- 
lumes.   I  mention  the  Authority  of  this  truly  Great  Man, 
not  out  of  Vanity  or  Oftentation,  or  that  I  think  the 
higheft  Encomiums  can  add  any  thing  to  the  Character 
of  fo  illuftrious  and  extraordinary  a  Per/on ;  but  partly 
out  of  a  duefenfe  0/*  Gratitude,  and  partly  by  way  of  op- 
portion  to  the  Objedtions  that  have  been  made  againjt

in  following  the  Originals)  by  three  or  four  fanciful,  con- 
ceited and  invidious  Men' (for  I  do  not  hear  that  there 
are  any  more)  of  an  inferior  Oafs,  of  whom  I Jh all  take 
no  farther  Notice. 

But  whereas  there  mui  needs  be  fever al  Miftakes  in  a 
Work  of  this  nature *,  (which  depends  fo  much  upon  Tra- 
dition and  the  Information  of  others  ;J  if  any  Perfons 
upon  Difcovery  of  any  fucb  Jhall  be  pleas  d  to  put  them 
down,  and afterwards  communicate  them  to  me  in  as  few 
Words  as  poffible,  I  Jhall  look  upon  it  as  a  lingular  Fa- 
vour, and  I  will  take  care  to  correct  them  in  a  Review 
of  the  whole  Work  that  />  defignd  to  be  printed  in  the 
laft  Volume.  But  then  they  are  defird  to  ufe  all  imagi- 
nable Caution,  and  to  build  their  Obfervations  not  upon 
Fancy  and  Conjedtures  (which  are  then  only  to  be  in- 
duedwhen  there  is  no  clearer  Proof)  but  upon  the  beft 
and  mod  authentick  Evidence,  fucb  as  may  ferve  to  in- 
form not  impofe  upon  the  Reader. 

As  for  AntoninusV  Itinerary  with  various  Le<ftions 
and  Dr.  Talbot'*  imperfeft  Commentary,  J  have  dif- 
cours d particularly  q/  them  in  a  diftindl  Preface;  which 
will  therefore  Juperfede  whatever  may  be  exjpe£led  about 
them  here.     I  Jha/l  only  beg  leave  to  add  that  I  have 
fome  reafon  to  think  that  our  Bodlejan  Copy  of  Dr.  Tal- 
bot\r  Commentary  did  not  only  once  belong  to  the  famous 
Mr.  John  Stowe,  but  that  'twas  written  by  Mr.  Stowc'j 
own  Hand.     The  other  Extrafts  out  of  MZS.  were  add- 
ed by  me  on  purpofe  tofupplyfome  vacant  Pages ;  and' t is 
botfd  they  will  neither  be  unacceptable  to  the  Reader,  nor 
be  hck'd  upon  as  forreign  to  the  Defign.

*  Of  the  Bacon  at  Dunmowe  [in  Eflex.] 

RObert  Fitz-ffalter,  Lord  of  Woodbamy  and  fa- 
mous  in  the  tyme  of  KingHenry  the  thyrd,  be- 
tooke  himfelf  at  his  latter  tyme  to  Prayer,  gave  great 
and  bountifull  Almes  to  the  Poore,  kept  great  Hol- 
pirality,  and  reedifyed  the  decayed  Q>  Priory  of  D««- 
mowe,  which  one  Juga  a  devout  and  religious  Wo* 
man,  being  his  Anceftor,  had  buylded.  In  which 
>  -Priory''  arofe  a  Cuftome,  began  and  inftituted  ei- 
ther by  him  or  fome  of  his  Succeflbrs,  that  he  which 
repenteth  him  not  of  his  Marriage  deeping  or  waking 
in  a  yeere  and  a  day  may  lawfully  goe  to  Dunmowe 
and  fetch  a  Gammon  of  Bacon.    This  Cuftome  con-

where  any  one  may  freely  have  a  Gammon  of  Bacon 9  that  repents  not 
manage  in  a  yeere  and  a  day.  Whereunto  is  annexed  the  moft  la- 
mentable murther  of  Robert  Hall  at  the  High  Altar  in  Weftminfter 
Abbey.  I  have  feen  two  Impreffions  of  this  Book,  one  in  161 5. 
and  the  other  in  1616.  Both  were  printed  at  Landau  for  Henry 
Gojfon  in  c.  Sheet*  in  4to.  Moft  of  the  Copies  are  now  got  into 
Carious  Hands,  being  written  by  a  skilfull  Antiquary.  Only  the 
Initial  Letters  of  both  Names  appear,  viz.  IV.  V.  which  are  placed 
at  the  end  of  the  Dedication  to  Mailer  Robert  Valens.  Perhaps  the 
Author  was  therefore  W.  Valens.  But  whoever  he  was,  he  had 
certainly  fearch'd  ancient  Records  with  a  more  than  ordinary  dili- 
gence, and  he  fcems  to  me  to  have  been  particularly  acquainted 
with  the  Registers  of  the  Heralds-Office.  I  have  alfo  feen  a  (hotter 
Account  of  this  Cuftom  amongft  the  Papers  of  the  Learned  Mr,  John 
Greaves  in  the  Saviliau  Mufeum  at  Oxford  i  and  'tis  touched  upon

flenry  the  eight,  and  the  Bacon  was  delyvertd  with 
fuch  folemnity  and  triumph  as  they  of  the  Priory  and 
Townfmen  could  make. 

The  Party  or  Pylgrim  for  Bacon  was  to  take  his 
Oath  before  the  Prior,  the  Covent  and  the  whole 
Towne,  humbly  *  acknowledging  in  the  Church-Yard 
upon  two  hard  poynted  Stones ;  which  Stones,  as 
they  fey,  remayne  to  be  fcene  there  to  this  day.  His 
Oath  being  miniftred  with  a  long  Proccfs  and  fo~ 
Icmne  Singing  over  him  all  the  whyle,  he  was  after- 
ward taken  up  and  carryed  upon  mens  (holders,  firft 
about  the  Priory  Church-Yard,  and  after  through  the 
Towne,  with  all  the  Fryars  and  Bretheren,  and  all 
the  Towne*  Fokk  young  and  old  following  him  with 
Shouts  and  Acclamations,  with  his  Bacon  borne  be* 
fore  him,  and  foe  was  he  with  his  Bacon  fent  to  his 
owne  hoame.   Of  which  Bacon  fpme  had  a  Gammon* 
and  fome  a  Flitch;  and  it  appeareth  by  the  Re* 
cords  of  the  Houfe,  that  three  ievcrall  at  three  feve- 
*aU  tygaes  had  the  one  or  the  other. 

The  Records  are  thefe:

The  Glory  of  this  Towne  ftoode  by  the  Priorie  of  Blake 
Chanons  there  buildid  and  richely  endowid  with  Landes. 

The  original  Beginning  of  this  Priorie  was  after  this 
Fafcion : 

One  William  Warwift*  Bisfhop  of  Excefttr,  difpleaftd  with 
the  Chanons  or  Prebendaries  of  a  Fre  Chapelle  of  the  Fun- 
dation  of  the  Saxon  Kinges,  becaufe  they  wold  not  leve  theyr 
Concubines,  found  meanes  to  diflblve  their  College,  wher- 
in  was  a  Deane  or  Provoft  and  4.  Prebendaries  with  other 
Minifters. 

The  Prebende  of  Pfymton  felf  was  the  Title  of  one,  and 
the  Prebend  of  S.  Peter  and  Pauli  at  Suttoun,  now  caullid  Pfym- 
mouthy  a  nbther.  Bisfhop  Warwtft,  to  recompence  the  Pre- 
bendaries of  Pfymton,  ere&id  a  College  of  as  many  as  were 
ther  at  Bofenbam  in  South/ax,  and  annexid  the  Gift  of  them 
to  his  Succeflbrs  Bisihops  of  Excefter.  Then  he  fet  up  at  Pfym- 
ton a  Priorie  of  Canons-Regular,  and  after  was  there  buried 
in  the  Chapitre  Houfe. 

Diverfe  Noble  Men  gave  after  Landes  to  this  Priorie,  e- 
mong  whom  was  Wakerus  de*Faflt  torta^  Lord  of  Trenurton 
in  CornewaL,  and,  as  fum  fay,  of  Totems,  but  yet  I  know  no   M«  *4«

I  know  that  he  was  a  Man  of  fair  Pofleffions  about  Pfym- 
mouthy  and  that  he  gave  onto  Pfymtoun  Priorie  the  Ifle  of  S. 
Nicolas  cum  cumcuht,  conteyning  a  2.  Acres  of  Ground,  or 
more,  and  lying  at  the  Mouthes  of  Tamar  and  Pfym  Ryvers. 

I  hard  fay,  That  the  Landes  ofValletorte  were  for  a  Mor-

Part  of  them  have  remaynid  yn  the  Kinges  Handes.

Plain  yn  the  midle  of  it. 

The  Cumpace  of  it  is  countid  to.  be  about  a  7.  Miles. 
But  if  a  Man  fhould  cumpace  it  by  the  very  rootes  and  depe

And,  as  I  remembre,  Mr.  Baynton  hath  a  Place  on  this

The  Toun  of  New-Sarcsbyri  with  the  Suburbes  oiHarnkam

The  fite  of  the  very  Toun  of  Sarjsbyri  and  much  Ground 
therabout  is  playne  and  low,  and  as  a  Pan  or  Receyver  of  moft 
parte  of  the  Water  of  WyUjkire.

Civicaj  no  very  curius  pece  of  Work  but  ftronly  buildid

Thii  piche  was  made  of  the  Tounes  Men  *  as  fuch  tytnt 
as  Simon  Bisfhop  of  Saresbyri  gave  Licence  to  the  Burgefes  to 
ftrengthen  the  Town  with  an  eiqbatelid  Waulle. 

This  Diche  was  thoroughly  caftt  for  the  Defence  of  the   Pd  58. 
Town  fo  far  as  it  was  not  fufficicntly  defendid  by  the  mayn 
Streame  of  Jvcn :  But  the  WAulle  was  never  begon ;  yet,  as 
J  reipembre,  I  faw  one  Stone  Gate  or  2.  in  the  Town. 

Harnbam  Bridge  was  a  Village  long  afore  the  Ere&on  of 
New- Saresbyri.  and  there  was  a  Chirch  of  S.  Martini  longg- 

ing  to  it. 

There  ftandith  now  of  the  Remain  of  the  old  Chirch  of  S. 
Martin  a  Barne  in  a  very  low  Medow  on  the  North  fide  of 
S.  Nicolas  Hofpital.  \ 

The  Caufe  of  the  Relinquishing  of  it  was  the  Moyftenes 
of  the  Ground  often  overflowen.  Tor  this  Chirch  was  ther  a 
new  dedicate  to  S.  Martim  in  a  nother  Place  that  yet  ftandith. 

Licens  was  get  of  the  King  by  a  Bisfhop  of  Saresbyri  to 
turn  the  Kingges  High  way  to  NewSaresbyri,  and  to  make  a 
mayn  fs  Bridge  of  right  Pafiage  over  Avon  at  Harnbam. 

The  Chaunging  of  this  Way  was  the  totale  Caufe  of  the 
Ruine  of  Old*Saresbyri  and  Wtkou*.  For  afore  this  Wiltoun 
had  a  12.  Paroch  Chirches  or  more,  and  was  the  Hedde 
Town  of  WiUJbir.  * 

Ther  was  a  Village  at  FisjbtrUn  over  Avon  or  ever  New- 
Saresbyri  was  buildid,  and  had  a  Paroche  Chirch  ther  as  it 
yet  hath. 

In  this  *  FifihertouHy  now  a  Suburbe  to  New-Saresbyrij  was 
fins  the  Ere&ion  of  the  New  Toun  an  Houfe  of  Blake  Freres 
buildid  not  far  firom  Fisjberton  Bridge. 

Ther  was  alfo  an  Houfe  of  Gray  Freres  withyn  the  Toun 
of  Saresbyri  of  theFundation  of  .  , .  k  Bisfliop  of  Saresbyri. 

The  Cite  of  OId~Saresbyri  Handing  on  an  Hille  is  diftant  F«L  j* 
from  the  New  a  Mile  by  North  Wcfte,  and  is  in  cumpace

Ther  was  a  Paroch  of  the  Holy  Rode  befide  in  Old-Sa- 
resbyri :  and  an  other  over  the  Eft  Gate  wherof  yet  fum

I  do  not  perceyve  that  ther  were  any  mo  Gates  in  Old- 
Sartsbyri  then  2.  one  by  Eft,  and  an  other  by  Weft.  With- 
oute  eche  of  thefe  Gates  was  a  fair  Suburbe.  And  yn  the  Eft 
Suburbe  was  a  Paroch  Chirch  of  S.  John :  and  ther  yet  is  a

diftrahunt,  ut  ubi  illud  ponam  ccrto  dicere  nequeam.  Civitas 
eft  vetufta  epifcopalifque,  qua  Lincoln  vulgo  dickur,  &  Lind- 
coin  vetuftis  Saxonicifqui  libris  fcribitur.  Credibile  eft  hoc 
effe  Lindum,  quod  Ptolemao  femel  &  au&ori  huic  terque  qua- 
terque  recitatur.  Quod  autem  additur  Coin,  quid  Ubi  velit 
ignore  Neque  enim  Lindum  Coloniam  fuifle  ufquam  repe- 
no.  Prseterea  Lincoln  in  regione  Lindefey  fita  eft,  &  toti 
illi  comitatui  de  Lincoln-Jhin  jam  olim  nomen  dedit.  Prsete- 
rea fitus  ipfius  Civitatis  non  admodum  difconvenit  citra  Bri- 
gantesy  &  ad  orientalem  oceanum  vergentis.  Eft  &  adhuc 
vetus  proverbium  ejus  urbis  vetuftatem  oftendens,  quo  di- 
citur  Lincoln  fuijfe,  (aut,  ut  alii  volunt,  Vintoniam)  Londi- 
nium  iffi,  Eboracum  futuram.  Altera  opinio  mihi  fuccurrit 
de  Nottingham,  quodnam  fuerit  ejus  oppidi  prifcum  nomen. 
Nam  hoc  certum  eft  impofitum  fuifle  ex  quo  Saxones  intra- 
runt.  Eft  enim  ham  diAio  Saxonica  domum  ugnificans.  Unde 
licut  Hebreti  villam  ilgnificantes  bettii,  i.  e.  domum  prseponunt, 
fie  Saxones  vel  Germani  home  in  fine  apponunt.  Exftant

diale&um  fuam  heem  vocant,  definentia :  ut  Optnheimt,  Span-

home  aut  heimt  terminans  fuifle  ante  ingreflum  Saxont/m.  Ap- 
paret  autem  oppidum,  quod  nunc  Nottingham  dicitur,  vetu-
