MARCH, &c. CAMBRlDGESHlRBA ============================- MAB.CH, WITH DODDJNGTON AND WJMBLINGTON. MARCH, a market town and hamlet in the parish of Doddington, in the Isle of Ely; 85 miles from London, through Royston, Cambridge, St. Ives, and Chatteris; and 11 miles south from Wisbeach : contained in 1831, 5117 inhabitants; the annual value of assessed property in 1815, was 27,925l. It is situated on the river Nene, from which circumstance it enjoys the advantages of a considerable trade. The market is on Friday, and there are two annual fairs, each lasting three days ; one beginning on Monday before Whitsuntide, at which horses are sold only on Wednesday; and the other on the second Tuesday in October. The living is a curacy subordinate to the rectory of Doddington, which, including Benwick, is the most valuable in England, being 7 ,306l. per annum. The church, dedicated to St. W endreda, is a very handsome structure with a fine spire of stone, erected in 1343: in the north aisle is a slab for Simon Payne, ob. 1501; another to Katherine, wife of Anthony Hansard, and sister of Sir Robert South well; she died in 1517. In the nave it!l the tomb of William Dredeman, ob. 1503, who is said to have been at the expense of the roof, which is of wood, with numerous projecting winged figures, one of the richest specimens of the kind in the county. An avenue consisting of double rows of elm trees, leads from the town to the church, which is about half a mile distant from the bridge and market-place- In one part of this wall is a stone cross, supposed to be of the time of Henry VL M any Roman coins have been found in the neighhood. March is in North Witchford Union. The fairs are on the last Friday in April, and the Friday before Michaelmas Day. Name, B.esidence and Profession. See also CLASSIFICATION of TRADEs, page 43.

N:E:WMAB.KET, with BOTTISHAM, BVB.WELL, & EXMING. A MARKET town 61 miles from London, through Epping, 13 miles E. by N. from Cambridge, and 13-l miles S. by E. from Ely; contained in 1831, 2,848 inhabitants. The annual value of assessed property in 1815 was 6,1781. It consists principally of a long wide street of handsome houses; the southern side of which is in Cambridgeshire, and the northern in Suffolk. The market is on Tuesday; and fain are held on Whit Tuesday, and the 8th of November, for horses and sheep. The trade and commerce of Newmarket are almost wholly dependent on the sporting meetings ; and on these occasions the town presents a scene of great gaiety and activity. The county magistrates hold petty sessions here every Tuesday, and a court leet occasionally. The parish of ALL SAINTS is in the connty of Cam· bridge; the living is a perpetual curacy, value 37l. per annum. In the church is the monument of Tregonwell Frampton, a celebrated sportsman, and keeper of running horses to King William Ill., Queen Anne, Kings George I., and George II. ; he died in 1728, aged 86, the father of the turf. The parish of ST. MARY is in the county of Suffolk; the living is a rectory, value 375l, per annum, in the pa· tronage of the Duke of Rutland. The church is a handsome structure, with a tower and spire, forming a promineftt featsre in the prospects from the surrounding country. Both parishes are in Newmarket Union. Here are two charity schools. The King's House was originally built by J ames I., as a hunting seat; and Charles I. was brought here a prisoner in 1647. Charles II. rebuilt the house, and frequently honoured the races with his presence: he was the first sovereign who entered horses and ran them in his own name. While the court was here in 1683, the town was nearly destroyed by an accidental fire; when the King, Queen, & Duke of York hastily returning to London, is said to have been the means of defeating what was afterwards called " the Ryehouse Plot." The town was speedily rebuilt, and has had great celebrity conferred on it by the superior excellence of Newmarket heath, as a 'race-course; the whole of which is in this county. The races, which are not surpassed by any in the kingdom, have been constantly patronized by royalty. They are held seven times in the year: the Craven meeting commences on Easter Monday; the first Spring meeting early in March; the second Spring meeting a fortnight after; the July meeting early in the month ; the first and second October meetings, and the Houghton meeting, are all held in the month of October. Besides these, there are several occasional coursing meetings in the winter season. The long course on Newmarket heath is 7,420 yards in length, and the round course 6,640 yards long. An ordi· nary racer will go at the rate of one mile in two minutes; but the famous Childers ran almost a mile in one minute, and went over the round course, little less than four miles, in 6 minutes and 40 seconds. The Duke of Rutland is the lord of the manor, by inheritance from Charles, Duke of Somerset; who gave N ewmarket2 Chev~ley, B!ld other estates, iJ\


NEWMARKET, &c. CAMBRIDGESHIRE. ============·============================== marriage with his eldest daughter to the Marquis of Gran by. The ditches, which extend from the woods on the eastern side of the county to the fens, are the most remarkable earth-works in Cambridgeshire. The most entire is the Devil's Ditch, near Newmarket, which extends from Wood Ditton to Reach, in the parish of Swaffham Prior; it runs nearly in a straight line fo:r 7 miles, crossing the London road at the distance of I! miles from Newmarket, and at present serves as a boundary between the dioceses of Norwich and Ely. The Ikeni1d street enters the county near Newmarket; and many Roman coins have been found in the neighbourhood. To the S.E. is Cheveley Hall, the seat of the Duke of Rutland, situated in a well-wooded park; within which, near the gate, are vestiges of a castle, surrounded by a deep ditch, nearly :!!quare. In the vicinity are Exming Lodge, Fordham Abbey, Chippenham Park, Branches Park, Dullingham House, Hare Park, Stetchworth House, and Bottisham Hall. :Name, Residence, and Profession.

Here are two endowed schools. At Reach, about a mile northward, a great fair for horses is held annually on Rogatioo Monday, the tolls of which belong to the corporation of Cambridge. A navigable draining cut comes up to Reach. The railway from Cambridge to Norwich will pass near Swaffham. SwAPFHAH BuLBECK, on a branch of the river Cam, 5 miles W. from Newmarket, contained in 1831, 727 inhabitants; and the annual value of assessed property in 1815 was 3241t. The church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary; the living, a vicarage, value 2191. per annum, is in the patronage of the Bishop of Ely. Here is a school, endowed in 1721 by Francis Towers. The manor~ which belonged at an early period to the family of Bulbeck, passed by a female heir to the Veres, Earls of Oxford, who pos· sessed it for many generations. A Benedictine nun· nery was founded here before the reign of ,John, by one of the Bulbeck family~ the conventual church was erected about 1352, but there are no remains of it, nor of any other buildings of the nunnery, excepting some groined arches under the farm house which has been built on its site. In 1538, Kiug Henry VIII. gave the priory estates to the Bishop of Ely, and his successors in the see. Both the Swaffhams are in Newmarket Union. Swaffham House, Bottisham Hall, Hare Park, and Quy Hall are in the neighbourhood. Name, Residence~ and Profession. SWAFFHAM PRIOR. A dams P ..........................................

A HARK ET TOWN on the borderR of Northampton· shire, eighty-one and a half miles from London! through Ware, Royston, and Huntingdon; six and a quarter miles north-east· from Peterborough; and thirteen miles and three-quarters south-west from Wisbech: contained in 1831, 2055 inhabitants: the annual value of assessed property in 1815 was 205011 This town lies in the north-west corner of the fens, but its situation is pleasant, being on an eminence, well wooded towards the south-l\·est, and having a mile of road toward.~ Whittlesey, overshadowed by branches of trees. The weekly market is on Thursday, and was granted to the Earl vf Bedford in 1638, by thtl charter of the Bedford Level, together with two annual fairs, on July lst and Sep• temher 21st, which are much frequented for the sale of horses and cattle; about 25,000 sheep are sent hence to Smirhfield market annually; and there is also a holiday fair on Whit Monday. A Literary Societ\·, possessing a library, was establi~hed iu 1823. The Petty Sessions are held here. The church is dedicated to St. Botolph ; the living, a curacy value 220l. per annum, is in the presentation of the buke of Bedford. A School and some Almshouses are sup~ purted by the Duke of Bedford. M any of the iuhabitants are descended from a colony of refugee French and Walloons, which settled here about the middle of the seventet-nth century. Bishop Wren granted a license to Stephen de Cursal to preach at 'fhomey in .French or Latin in 1640; and thP epitaph ot the Rev. E. Danois, who died in 1674, describes him as the minister of the French colony. Thorney was anciently called Ankarig, from the anchorites or l1ermits who dwelt in cells, f(mnded here by Saxulph, first abbot of l~eterborou~h, in 662. This monastery was dPstroyt>d by the Danes in 870, and rebuilt in 972, for Benedictine monks, by Ethelwold, bishop of Winchester.

It is situated partly in Cambridgeshire, and partly in Norfolk, on the river Well, or Nen, which here divides the counties, and by means of which the productions of the extensive garden grounds here are conveyed to the markets of the various towns on its banks. The church is dedicated to St. Peter; the tower and the roof of the nave are curious, and worthy of notice. The living, a rectory, value 3865l. per annum, is in the patronage of R. G. Townley, Esq. The rectory-house is ancient. At Marmound, in this parish, a priory of Gilbertines was founded about the time of Richard I. by Ralph de Hauville, as a cell to Sempringham Priory in Lincolnshire, but there are nQ remains of conventual buildings. .

M aster WHITT:L:ESEY, ANciENTLY Witesie, at the extremity of the Isle of Ely, on the borders of Northamptonshire and Huntingdonshire, 77 miles from London, through Ware, Royston, Huntingdon, and Ramsey; and 6 miles E.,from Peterborough: contained in 1831, 6019 inhabitants, including the two parishes of St. Mary and St. Andrew, which are consolidated: the annual \'alue o1 assessed property in 1815, was 30,681l. The town stands on rising ground, and has a market cross; the market was re-established by a committee of gentlemen in January 1838, for corn and cattle. An annual fair ii held on June 13th, for horses. Courts lect and baron are held twice a year, and a court of r.equests on the third Friday in every month. Here is a public library and news-room, established by subscription. The church, dedicated to St. Mary, has a tower and spire, the most elegant of the kind in this part of the county: the living is a' vicarage, value 222l. ver annum. The church of St. Andre\f contains monuments of the families of Stona, Moo re, Read, and Underwood: the living is a vicarage, value 62l. per annum, in the ratronage of the crown. Here are two endowed schools, also chapels. for Baptists, Independents, Calvinistic, and Wesleyan Methodists. W!tittlesey Mere, the most spacious lake in the southern part of the kingdom, is about six miles from the town, beyond the extremity of this county, on the northern side of Huntingdonshire, about three miles east from Stilton: the surface is 1570 square acres, and its circumference is eight miles and three quarters. This lake abounds with a great variety of water-fowl, and with the following species of fish viz. pike, perch, carp, tench, eels, bream, chub, roach, dace, gudgeons, shallows, &c.; great quantities of which are sent to the London market. In the summer months this lake is much frequented by the neighbouring gentry;


WHITTLESEY. CAMBRIDGESHIRE • • it is also the frequent scene of regattas, &c. King Charles II., in 1662, granted to Edward, Earl of Sandwich, the office of Master of the Swans, and Bailiff of Whittlesey Mere. At present~ the right of fishing is in the hands of William Well::~, Esq. the Lord of Glatton with Holme, in Huntingdonshire, w l.'l has eleven boats-gates; the lord of Farcett one boatsgate, and a private fishery. The church of Peterborough have two boats-gates, and Lord Carysfort one. The King's Delph is a channel on the north-eastern side of the ~!ere. Bevills Leam, from the Mere to Guyhirn, about 16 Ptiles in length, was made in 1634: this river was 40 feet wide. Yermuyden's Drain leads from Whittlesey to Ramsey, and is 16 feet wide. Whittlesey Dyke, beginning a little above Horsey bridge, runs through the town of Whittlesey into the Nen, below Benwick. The chief branch of the river Nen formerly passed by Stangroun and Horsey bridge, to Whittlesey Mere, and through Ugg and Ramsey Meres to Ben wick, and there joined the West U.Jater, or Ouse, from Earith. The parish of Whittlesey, exclusive of the town, contains the hamlets of Estry, Cotes, Eldemall, Willow Hall, and Glassmoor. William of Whittlesey, archbishop of Canterbury in 1368, was a native of this town. , Name, B.esidence, &. 'Profession. See also CLASSIFICATION of TRADES, in page 55. • Ainger Jas. London st .....

Public business for the Wisbech di~ision is transacted every Wednesday and Saturday at the town-ball, under the same roof as the custom-house, which bears the town arms, viz. cross keys, the emblem of St. Peter, the patron saint of the town. Sessions are held every quarter at Wisbech and Ely alternately, and assizes are held for the Isle twice a year. The church, dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul, is an irregular but noble pile of building, both without and within ; it bas two naves under one roof, and two aisles, as well as two chancels ; one of which, the southemmost, is called the town chancel : in the south aisle is the gravestone, inlaid with brass, of Thomas de Brawnston, con~ stable of the castle of Wisbech, who died in 1401.. The monuments of the church are numerous, and consist of memorials of the families of Sandford, Southwell, Worrall, Haslewood, &c. The Jiving is a vicarage with Wisbech St. Mary, value 1,779l. prr annum, in the patronage of the Bishop of Ely. A chapel of ease has been erected, the living of which is 2001. per annum. Here are a grammar school of ancient foundation, a national school, almshouse31 and other charities ; also places of worship for Baptists, the Society of Friends, Presbyterians, Unitarians, and Independent and Wesleyan Methodists. Wisbech Castle, which is supposed to have occupied the site of that built by William the Conqueror, was a palace of the Bishops of Ely, who had the custody of the isle. It was rebuilt, of brick, by Bishop Morton, between the years 1478 and 1483: his successor, Bishop Alcock, died here in 1501. In the reign of Queen Elizabeth this castle was made a prison, and during the Commonwealth was purchased by J obn Thurloe, secretary of state, who WISBECH, with ELM, E:NMETH, :LEVEBINGTO:N. & built a house on its site from the design of Inigo J onel'l. The castle was taken down in 1816; and the ground on which it stood is now the garden in the centre of the Crescent, which together with Y orke Row, Church Street, Ely Place, and Market Street, form the principal modern improvements of the town. W ISBECH, or W ISBEACH, a market town in the Isle of Ely, in the northern part of the county, and borders. of Norfolk, 93 miles from London through Royston, Cambridge, St. Ives, Chatteris, and March; 15! miles S.W. from Lynn; and 30 miles N. by W. from Ely: contained in 1831, 7,253 inhabitants; the annual value of assessed property in 1815, was 28,333!. It is situated on the river Nen, which advancing northward, divides Lincolnshire from Norfolk, and falls into the Cross Keys Wash, where the Ouse discharges itself a few miles on the south-east of the Nen. The town consists of several well-built streets, and a circus erected in 1816: here are also a theatre, assembly room, a literary society, and two e:xtensive libraries; besides every convenience fm· salt-water bathing. The custom house is partly used as a townball and corn exchange, and was erected in 1804. The market is on Saturday, and is a great mart fm· corn, of which above 100,000 quarters are annually exported to Cambridge, Lynn, &c. : other principal exports are rape seed and long wool, sent into Yorkshire. Timber from Northamptonshire is forwarded from Wisbech for the use of the navy: the imports are wiue, deals, and coals ; there is also a great trade in butter. It has likewise the advantage of a canal communication with the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk. There are four annual fairs-viz. on Saturday before Lady Day, for hemp and flax; on the day before Palm Sunday, on Whit Tuesday, and a \'ery important fair on Lammas Day for cattle. There are no manufactures carried on in the town, which is the most considerable place in the Isle of Ely, excepting cordage for shipping. The magistrates of W isbech are appointed by the Lord Bishop of Ely, who is custos rotulorum; and are justices 56 l . W ISBECH ST. MAR Y, about two miles distant, contained, in 1831, 1,524 inhabitants; and the annual value of assessed property iu1815 was 9,981[. The church is dedicated to St. Mary, and the living is a curacy subordinate to the vicarage of Wisbech St. Peter. The road from Wisbech to Thorney passes through the hamlets of Wisbech M urrou, and Guyhirn, both in this parish, and Tholomas Drove. Wisbech gives its name to the union in which it is situated. Hemp and flax are cultivated in the neighbourhood. Name, Residence, & Profession. See also CLAsSIFICATION ojTRADEs, page 61. Ab bott Jas. Ship pass .............................. Smith Abbott M. A.

I-IUNrriNG DON SHIRE. HuNTINGDONSHIRE1 with the exceptions of Rutland and Middlesex, is the smallest county in England, and is bounded to the north and partly to the west by the river Nen, dividing it from Northamptonsllire, which adjoins it to the west, Bedfordshire south-west, and <..:amhridgeshh·e south, east, and north-east. In shape, it much resembles an irregularly formed heraldic lozenge, or shield for female arms ; and is 30 miles in hs greatest length from north to south, 23 in extreme width, and about 100 in circumference; containing a surface of 236,800 acres, of which 100,000 are in tillage, 60,000 pasture, and 76,000 wood and waste. The smallest road distance from London, at the south-east angle, is 51 miles, and the greatest 83f at the bridge over the Nen by Wandsford. To the bridge over the same river near Peterborough, is 81 miles. The road to Spalding by Huntingdon leaves this county on Ramsey Fens, 69 miles from London, and tbe Wisbeach road at Chatteris Ferry, 73!. A road from Northampton to Ely crosses the whole breadth of the county, through H untingdon and St. I ve6, a distance of 24! miles. The population, as returned in 1831, was 11,278 families 53,192 persons, of whom 7,221 males above 20 years of age, were employed in agriculture. The property assessed iu 1815, was of the value of 438,52ll., and the rental amounted to 202,076l.; being about 17s. an acre. The county is divided into the four hundreds of Hurstingstone, Leightonstone, Norman Cross, and Toseland. It has thirty magistrates, and its civil government has the peculiarity of being joined with Cambridgeshire under one sheriff, who is chosen alternattJly fi·om that county, the Isle of Ely, and Huntingdonshire. The parliamentary representatives are four---two for the county, and two for the borough of Huntingdon. The present county members are-the Viscount Mandeville, eldest son of the Duke of Manchester; a{ld John Bonfoy Rooper, Esq. Huntingdon and Stilton are the ouly polling places, and the election takes place at the county town. For the purposes of the Poor Law Amendment Act, Huntingdonshire is arranged into three unions of Huntingdon, St. Ives, and St. N eots. It contains six market towns; the three just mentioned, Kimbolton, Ramsey, and Somersham. The whole county is included for ecclesiastical jurisdiction in the archdeaconry of Huntingdon, to which gteat part of Hertfordshire was formerly attached, under the diocese of Lincoln; but, by the new Church Act, the whole of that archdeaconry is transferred from the see of Lincoln, this co\j.nty under its own archdeacon to Ely, and Hertfordshire to that of Rochester. It contains 93 parishes, distributed into fh·e rural deaneries: Huntingdon comprising the four Hunts.] B Jlarishes of that town, St. Ives 20 parishes, Leightonshire 28, St. Neot's 17, and Yaxley 24. The principal rivers of Huntingdonshire are the Ouse, rising at Ousewell in Northamptonshire, and passing through Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire to this county, of which for about three miles it forms the boundary; then proceeds northward to near Huntingdon, where, making a sharp elbow, it turns eastward to St. Ives, swelled by a number of tributary streams ; divides for a few miles Huntingdonshire from Cambridgeshire, and flows across the level of the fens to the 1fT ash. The south-east portion of the county thus cut off, is connected with the rest by three stone bridges at St. N eot's, Huntingdon, and St. Ives. The Nen also has its source in Northamptonshire at the village of Welton, meanders across a fine valley to this county, then flows northwards to Wandesford, and easterly to Peterborough, between the two counties; receiving in its course several small rivulets, one of which called Oakley Dylce continues the limit on the Calpbridgeshire side; afterwards, sinking into the fens, it slowly winds like the Ouse to the Wash. The old Nen, rising in the parish of Glatton 'in this county, crosses it eastwards, and1 joined by the Holme Brook, pursues a similar course over the Fens. There is no canal, but the rivers Nen and Ouse are navigable through their whote track in connexion with this county. The fens are overspread with small lakes, or meres, the principal of which are Whittlesea, Ramsey, Ugg, J.'rundle, and Brick meres. It has been proposed to drain Whittlesea Mere, and the project is believed to be practicable, but objections are urged to the loas of so beautiful a piece of water, and of the excellent fish it contains. This transparent lake is much resorted to in the summer for sailing and fishing; Lut is occasionally subject to sudden and tempestuous agitations, arising apparently from subaqueous evaporations violently forcing for themselves a vent upwards. The children and servants of King Canute, sailing through it on the.ir way from Peterborough, to join him at Ramsey, were overtaken by on~ of these storms, and had nearly perished ; in consequence of which the monarch immediately commanded his soldiers and servants to mark out a delf or em banked 1·oad from Whittlesea to Ramsey for future security; and this being done with their swords, the work received the name of Swerdes Delf, but is sometimes called the King's or Knout's Dyke. The county is intersected in all directions by a multiplicity of cross roads; but the chief direct roads which traverse it in its length and breadth, are the high road from London to Doncaster, which enters by two branches, from Royston near Papworth St. Agnes, following the Roman Ermine' Street to Huntingdon, and from Biggleswade, two miles south .of 1


-BUNTINGDONSHIRE. ==============================-============================= St. N eots; this proceeds .in two lines, the first west of the Ou~e by Buckden, the second east through Paxton and Offord, both to Huntingdon; thence it runs north-west, and quits the county by the bridge over the Nen at Wandsford, after having traversed it a length of 29! miles. Branching off at N orrnan Cross, this road sends another line to Peterborough. From Huntingdon a road runs north, and lea\'ing the county in Ramsey Fens proceeds to Spaldiug, Louth and Grimsby; and another for Wisbeach and Lynn Regis crosses the Old Nen for Cambridgeshire at Chatteris Ferry. A road from Cambridge enters at Fen Stanton and passes through Godmanchester, and anoth~r from Ely entering at .Earith, through St. Ives, both to Huntingdon, the common centre of all these roads; from thence one line is continued to tuewestern extremity of the county at Bythorn. Another from Cambridge directly crosses the county in its sauthern and narrowest point., a distance of 3~ mile~, then after crossing the Ouse and a small angle of Bedfordshire, re-enters Huntingdonshire and proceeds north-west to Kimbolton. This county as yet possesses no railroad, but all Act is procured for one fwm Cambridge to York, to unite the Great Northern with Cambridge and London. It will be called the Northern and Eastern Railroad, and will enter over the Ouse near St. hes, and running northwesterly, cross the Nen into N orthamptons.bire near Peterborough. Thi! is almost entirely an agricultural countyl and its inhabitants famed for their expertness in .the use of the plough; yet by an infatuated blindness to tb~ir' true interests, the farmers so effectually deter thei,i· labourers from forming settlements among thel;ll, that were it not for the emigration of Irish during hanrest, the crops must perish on the ground for want of sufficient hands to reap them. A, comdderable ·portion of the no,rth-east ,consists of fens belonging to the great Bedford Level, of which they constitute about the seventh part; and from an original failure ~n securing a sufficient outfall, they are worse dra1ned, though lying at a.gt·eate.r elevation, than those which intervene between them and the sea; they are consec;tuently liable to frequent losses by inundation, and a sum· equal to two-thirds of the rental is requisite for repairing the dykes and embankments. They afford, however, good pasturage, plenty of peat for fuel~ and of excelle,nt fish from the meres. The air i8 considered generally healthy, . ncttwithstanding the neighbourhood of the fens, where it is thick and foggy.. 'fhe remainder of the county is pleasingly varied with bill and dale, sprinkled with woods, and abundantly watered. The soil, in some occasional tracts light and sandy, is mo!.itly clay and loam, Vr.lry fr:\litful in agricultural products. A breadth of fertile and beautiful meadow land borders the _Ouse on both sideii. The large island meadow of Portholm near H untingdon, is part,icularly celeb.rated. Tho.ugh the whole wunty waa an e:xtei1sive fQrest so late as the reign of Henry the 2d, and not whQlly defo,rested till that of Edward the 1st, so entirely has it now changed its character that jt does not produce sujlicient timber for home consumption; and the demand in the fens is so great., that it bears a high111r price here than in aJJy,other part .of the kingdom. The land skirting the fe.ns is particularly luxuriant for grazing, and there is mnch rich pasturage amo.ng the uplands. There are, however, but few dairy farms; and neat cattle are not at all used in husbandry, but wholly reserved for the breeding of calves which supply the London markets. Stilton cheese has long been .acknowledged the finest in England, but the name is borrowed ti·om its first and principal mart; it was .originally sent from the neighbourhood of .Melton 2 Mowbray in Lei'cestersliire, where much of it is still made. No manufactures are carried on in the county, unless woolstapling and yarn-spinning may be so accounted, which provide employment for women and children when their services are not required in the fields. Huntingdon, St. Neots, and St. Ives, lying on the navigable ll'iver Ouse, between Bedford and Lynn, ha,•e very considerable markets and fairs, and carry on a brisk trade in corn, cattle, iron, timber, and coal. , This county, with Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk, compos~d the territory of the I ceni, and of their queen, the intrepid Boadicea, whose wrongs ~tnd valour have been handed down in history and in song. The Romans established two military stations here, Durolipon teat Godmanchester near H untingdon, andDurobriqe ~1pon the .Nen.nearChesterton. Three of their roads passed through this county, all meeting at Godmanchester, running theHC"..e toAlconbury and again branching off. TJ1e Yia D.e\·ana pursued the course of the prcllent turnpike road from Fenny Stanton to Godmanchester, and from Alconbury proceeded westwards to Cla.rton inN orthamptonshire, The Hermen or Ermin.e Street also followed the present high.road (rom Papworth St. Agne~ to Godmanehester, and again from Alconbury northwards to Dur~briv.re, whl::.l'e it crosS;<:d the Nen into N ort4- amptunshire. The British Ermine Street enter~d from Cresar's camp near Sandy in Bedfordshire, and proceeded by the tract now called Fell Lane' io Godmanchester; from A.lconbury, over Alconbury Hill through Upton, and by the present Bullock'.s road for 15 miles, without passing through any villagE', to W andesf'ord and the UOl"th. Roman remains have been discovered near Godmanchester, Chesterton, 11;11d Somersham, and in Sawtry tield. By the Saxc.ns, Huntingdon was included in the kingdom of the East Angles, but afterwards subjugated by the more 1)owerful Mercians. The only couventual ruin of much interest, is of Saxo,n foundation, the ancient gateway of the mitred abbey at Ramsey. Above a fourth part of the county is said to have been muna~tic property, always proverbially the richest lands; and this circumstance is alleged to accow1t for its possessing scarcel) .any distinguished family oflocal antiquity. The earldom of Huntingdon was bestowed by William the Conqueror on W altheof, a noble Saxou, afterwards Earl of Northumberland, who had marrh:d J udith, the king's niece; M aud, their daughter and heir, carried it by marriage first to Sirnon de Lizr and secondly to D~vid, brother to the king of Scots. The title aft~rwards fluctuated between the descendan.ts of the two marriages, as either preponderated in the favour of the reigning monarch; six princes of the royal house of Scotland having successively borne it till the death of John, great grandson of David, and last earl of that family, from whose sister habel • Robert Bruce derived his right to the Scott~h crown. This title was co,!)terred i» 1529 on George Hastings, ancestor in the direct line of Francis Theophilus Henry Hastings, the present earl. The pricipal seats in this county are Kimbolton Castle1 where the divorced queen Catherine of Arragon ended her days, now belonging to the Duke of Manchester; Uinchii.- brook House, the property of the Earl of Sandwich, where Queen Elizabeth, J ames the l st, and Charles the lst in his childhood, were hospitably receivad by Sir Henry Cromwell the grandfather, and Sir Oli\·~ the uncle, of the Protector ; Orton Longue,·ille, the seat of the Marquis of Huntley; Elton Hall, of the Earl of Carysfort; and Le~ghton Bromswold, formerQ' the residence of the Stuart's, Dukes of Lenno~, fl'Oll.l whom it was inherited by the Earl of Daruley.

BLUNTISHAM, on the borders of Cambridgeshire in Hurstingstone Hundred, is 63! miles north from London, 4! north-east from St. Ives, 1! west from Earith; tmd consists of an ir1·egular street, containing 674 inhabitants. The rectory, standing at the upper . end of the village, is the princip!il house in it. .It is a rectorial benefice, Yalued with the chapeh·y of Earith at 1010l. per annum, in the presentation of the Bishop of Ely, and is included in the Poor Law Union of St. hes. The parish is bounded for about three miles by the river Ouse, separating it from Cambridgeshire; and the church-yard, which stands rather high, with a wood on the left hand, commands an extensive prospect over that county, including the towers of Ely cathedral, and several other churches. The church itselfhas an embattled tower and spire, and its chancel is curious, as one of the very few terminated in a half hexagon; it is entered from the nave by a Gothic screen of carved wood, and the aisles are divided by light pointed arches, riaii1g from clustered pillars. There is also a sculptured octagonal font. Considering the small popnlatiou of this parish, it~ endowments for the benefit of the poor are particularly rich, the principal being a free-school, shared by the inhabitants of Earith. The village was seriously damaged in September, 1741, by a furious hurricane, attended with a noise like thunder, which coutinued only about 4 thirteen minutes, and destroyed in that short space all the mills in its track, and twelve out of one hundred dwellin~ houses, besides numerous barns. - Name, :Residence, de.

It contains 109.3 i'lhabitants. The benefice_is a vicarage, valued at 1711. annually, in the preseutation of the Bishop of Lincoln, whose palace has hitherto been established here a venerable brick building of two quadrangles, with a tower and gate-house, surrounded by a moat. l\luch money has been expended on it by various bishops, and the apartments are spacious, and the situation pleasant-the library built over the gateway; but, standi.ng in the centre of the village, the grounds are rather confined. Bishop Tomline had the honour in 1814 of entertaining the Prince Regent, afterwards King George the Fourtl4, to dine and sleep at Buckden, This county, having been transferred, under the new Church Act, to the jurisdiction of Ely diocese, the Commissioners have resolved on procuring, as soon as may he, a new residence for the Bishop of Lincoln. The church is a hand~ome structure, with a tower and elegant spire. There is an endowed school on the national system, and a sum of 120l. a year for distribution among the poor.

THE little village of Bury in Hurstingstone Hundred, nncl St. Ives Poor Law Union, consisting only of a few thatched cottages, is 67 miles from London and Sk from Huntingdon, on the road to Ramsey, from whence it is 1! distant. It is a perpetual curacy in the gift of Lady Olivia Sparrow, valued at 167l. annual income; and coni ains only 170 inhabitants. It is situated at the foot of a hill; and leading to the church is a strong -stone bridge, over a little rivulet; supposed to be built by one of the Abbots of Ramsey, who were possessors of the manor. The church, which is very ancient and much dilapidated, stands on an eminence, and retains some traces of architectural beauty. The chancel is entered by a carved wooden screen. Beyond the church, on the summit of the hill, and near the road toW arboys, is a barrow which appears to have been opened. Name, Residence, de. Profession. Armitage A ...

Kid man GODMANCHESTE!t, GoDMANCHESTER, in Toseland Hundred, is 57: tniles north of London, and one mile short of Huntingdon, on the road to Spalding and Louth; contains 2146 inhabitants; is included by the Poor Law Commissioners in the Huntingdon Union, and under the Reform Act shares the franchise of the borough of H untingdon. The church is a vicarage, of the annual value of 328l., in the gift of the Dean and Chapter of Westminster. The fabric, dedicated to the Virgin, is in the Tudor style of architecture ; the embattled buttresses and pinnacled tower, and noble spire 150 feet high, are built of stone from Ramsey Abbey, including a Nor1nan doorway unaltered. Some of the seats are curiously carved, in the fashion of prebendal stalls. The sculptured font is hexagonal, and hewn from a solid block of limestone. This incorporated town is of considerable exttnt, and connected with H untingdon by a stone bridge of six arches, on the centre of which the boundary of the two parishes is marked by a cross. According to Camclen's report, no part of the kingdom can show "a greater number of lusty stout husbandmen, or keeps mote ploughs a-going; and they brag that they h,tve formerly entertained the kings of England in their progre~s, with a rustic show of nine score ploughs at once. Certainly there are none in the nation that more advance husbandry either in respect of their skill, their pnrse, or their genius that way.'• The bailiffs of the town presented to king J ames, on his pa~sage from Scotland to assume the English crown, with threescore and ten team of horses, all yoked to fair new ploughs, alleging that as the king's tenants they enjoyed their lands on that tenure. It is pl~asantly situated on an eminence declining to the west, a broad sweep of the Ouse winding below ; and bordrred by the beautiful mead of Portholm, enamelled with flowers of e\·ery hue, and has the advantage of an extensive view on all sides; which circumstance, averting the possibility of surprise, together with the junction at this point of three Roman roads, and the discovery at various times of Roman coins and other antiquities, point it out as the Roman military station called Duroliponte, (or, as Cam den proposes, Durosiponte, signifying a bridge over the Ouse,) which is believed to have been an important city. Here our illustrious Alfred obtained so decisive a victory over the Danes, as to compel their chieftain Guthrum, or Gorman, to give hostages for either evacuating the country, or embracing Christianity. Choosing the latter alternative, Alfred himself answered for him at the font, and afterwards bestowed on him in feudatory sovereignty the territory of the East Angles, and of Northumberland. This place, in commemoration of the event, received the designation of Gormancester, easily corrupted to the pre3cnt name. There is a small free-school, and an endowment for • • marnage portwns. • Name, Residence, &. Profes»ion. See also CLASSIFICATION ofTaADEs, pag8 8. Allen G ...

THE borough, county and market towi1 of Hunting-don is situated on the navigable river Ouse; 58! miles distant from London, on the great north road; and has a population of 3267. It is iu the hundred of Hurstingstone, but possesses a separate jurisdiction. The name is Saxon, and signifies hunter's down, denoting it.;; early celebrity for the chase. And this derivation seems to be confirmed by the arms of the corporation, which dates from the reign of King John. being a huntsman; some however discovlir in this bearing an allusion to the outlawed Earl of Huntingdon, to our popular tradition of whose charactet· and exploits, under the name of Robin Hood, the Scottish magician of our own day has given universal currency in every European language. The town is ooe of the neatest in England; its houses in general large, well-bHilt, and of respectable appearance: many of them inhabited by genteel families. They extend north wards, with rather a westerly inclination, for about three-quart«:ts of a mile along the turnpike road, in one principal street, spacious, well-paved, and remarkably clean. There are also a back and several collateral: streets, all paved and well lighted ; besides a convenient market square, with the town hall on the south side. This was rebuilt in 1745, with brick, stuccoed, and surrounded with piazzas. The lower story has three divieions1 for the ch·il and criminal assize comts, and a t'Oom for the grand jury and for meetings of the corporation or of the county magistrates; on\ the upper is a very handsome ball-room. The town contains also several convenient inns, and a union workhouse; and is connected with Godmanchester by an ancient stone bridge of six arches. It formerly extended much further east, and was adorned w.th 15 churches, now reduced to two, and four religious foundations; a priory and abbey, which nothing remains to indicate but the names of Priory Lane and Priory Close ; a hos;pitnl, dedicated to St. Margaret, two small tenen1ents belonging to which are now occupied rent-free by two poor widows; and St. John's Hospital, in the ·north part of the town, founded in the reign of Henry II. by David Earl of Huntingdon, afterwards King of Scotland, The free grammar school, part of the original institution of this hospital, is now in a very flourishing state, and contains 70 boys. The Rev. J. Fell, l\1.A. is head master; the Rev. R. W. Pierpoint, B.A. second master. There is also a county school at the same end of the town, supported by voluntary contributions. The castle, rebuilt by Edward the Elder, and again by David the Scot, Earl of Huntingdon, was soon afterwards demolished hy Henry Il. as a nursery of sedition : part of its foundations are still traceable. Seated on an easy ascent, north of the river, and surrounded 10 by a fertile and beautiful country, Huutingdon exceeds all other towns in the t·ounty, ns much in appearance as in pleasantness of situation, advantagt s for hunting and fishing, and ·the exco.ellence of it:; roads, whieh lead in every direction north of the Ouse; as roads from all parts of the county south of that river, meet at Godmanchester. Castle Hill rises very abruptly from the water's edge, declining gently towards the north and east, the high ground continuing for some distance westward. The summit affords a delightful prospect over a wide expanse ot' country, with the refreshing wrdure C1f Portholm Meadow in the foreground. This extensive and perfect level forms one of the finest race-courses in the kingdom ; it is surrounded on three sides by a winding of the river, and completely insulated Ly a small stream uniting the extremities of the bow. The town consists of four parishes the united rectories of All Saints and St.John, in thegiftofthe crown, with an income of 190l.; and those of St. Mary and St. Beunet, valued at 162l. per annum, under the same patronage. The corporation, according to the regulations of the new Municipal Act, is composed of twenty ... one members. This is a borough by prescription, and has returned two members to parliament from the time of Edward I. The Reform Act disfranchised non-residents, and extended the privilege to the lOl. lwuseholders of Godmauchester as well as of the old borough. The county assizes are always held here; and there is a meeting of justices every Saturday. The market, held on Saturday, is plentifully supplied; and there is a fair on the 13th af N ovemher. The chief trade is in corn and wool, for transit by the Ouse; and in timber, coal, and other necessariei! for home consumption.: There are also some breweries, a small vinegar manufactory, and a good road business. The town contains a tolerably endowed free grammar school, a green-coat school, and the sum of 2000l. bequeathed for the purchase of estates, their I'ents to be appropriated to the use of the poor. It is enlivened by monthly winter assemblies, race balls, literary institutions with reading rooms, and a horticultural society. The county jail is nt Great Stukl'ly, two n1ile"S northwest from Huntingdon: near it are several barrows. Charles I. stopped here on his way to York, before the explosion of the civil commotions; and is said to have occasionally had his bead quarters in the town, which however was at one time plundered by his troops. ln St. Mary's churchyard was buried Cowper's friend lJnwin, who had been lecturer of that parish. The garden of his house, in which the poet for some time resided, communicates with an alley of lime trees, adjoining the common, called Cowper's Walk. A friary in the parish of St. John, near the north end of the town, came, after its dissolution, into possession of the Cromwell family, and was the residence of' Hichard Cromwell, father of the Protecto1·. Here his extraordinary son, of whose early career many traditionary anecdotes a.a related in Huntingdon, was born on the 25th of April, 1599. Over the errtry of his 'haptism, in tl t: parish register, a different hand has subsequently written, •' England's plague for five years.'' The site of the house is now occupied by an academy, called' Cromwell House. A small part of Portholtn Meadow bears the appellation of Cromwell's Acres. Hinchinbrook House, now the seat of the Earl of Sandwich, abont half a mile wes( of Huntingdob, wa~ originally a Benedictine nunnery; bestowed at the general dissolution on Sir Richard Cromwell, grEat grandfather of the Prbtector, with the rich abbey t•f Rams11y and several inferior mona~tet ie'> in llullti11g-


I-1UNTINGDON. donshire, and numerous ecclesialiitical spoils in other c:ountiea amountjng collectively to a princely revenue. Sir Henry, son of the grantee, and grandfather of ()liver, entertained Queen Elizabeth here; and Sir Oliver, his eldest son, uncle and godfather of his namesake, received King J ames on his progress southwards, with a munificence and splendour far exceeding, according tto report., what that monarch had been accustomed to in his hereditary dominions. Prince Charles, then Duke of York, having been left in Scotland on account of ill health, experienced on his an·ival the following year similar loyal and hospitable attentions from the zealous Knight; who invited his nephew Oliver, a year and a half older than the infant guest, to entertain him : and the destined chief of the Commonwealth is said on this occasion, by a blow, to have drawn blood from the nose of the future monarch, whose head was in afterlife to be .brought through the same agency to the scaffold. Sir Oliver maintained his attachment to the royal .cause through all the troubled reign of Charles; and. his. fortune suffered in that cause so severely, that h~ was compelled to alienate the greater part of his estates : this demesne was sold to Sir Sidney Montagu, ancestor of the present proprietor. The mansion, which was a very handsome Elizabethan structure with a stone front, retaining in the domestic offices man,r portions of the old nunnery, also of stone, and singularly remarkable for a large circular bow window richly ornamented, and resting on a Gothic porch of seven arches, was nearly destroyed by fire during the Earl's minority, in January, 1830; but by extraordiuary exertions, the fine collection of interesting portraits ~tnd other paintings and articles of vertu, in which it is-particularly rich, were happily preserved. The 'Situation of the house is a gentle elevation, embrncing a charming prospect for many miles along the course of the Ouse and the rich vale fertilized by its waters, with the beautiful and lofty lowers of St~ Neots chm·ch in the distant p~rsp£'ctive. The grounds are not extensive, but pleasingly dh·ersified, and bordered towards the road by a raised terrace, for enjoying the view. An adjoining seat iil named The Views, from its advantages of situation. Name, Residence & Profession See also CLASSIFICATION ofTRADEs,page 13. Adams J. High st •.•••••••••.••.

KIMBOLTON is a market town, containing 1584 inhabitants; 64! miles north-west from London, and 7 north from St. N eots on the Leeds road, and 14 west from Huntingdon. It is in the hundred of Leightonstone, and the St. N eots Poor Law Union, and is watered by a little rivulet. The value of its vicarage, in the presentation of the Duke of Manchester, was not returned to parliament in 1831. The market is held on Friday, and fairs on Friday in Easter week and on the 11th of December. Kimbolton Castle was the dower of Queen Katherine of Arragon; and here she spent in retirement the short interval between her divorce and death. It is the property and principal residence of the Duke of Manchester, Lord Lieutenant of the county. The grounds are admirably lai.d out and planted; and the extensive park, in the extreme angle of the county, bordering on Bedfordshire, agreeably undulated and well wooded. · Name,. ltesidence, and Profession.

Tu~ populous market town of Ramsey, or Ram's Island, is 69 miles N. of London, and W N.E. from Huntingdon, on the Spalding and Louth road. It is a perpetual curacy, returned of the annual value of 47l., in the gift of W. H. Fellowes, Esq. ; is situated at the foot of a prominent hill, on Bury Brook, just where the stream emerges from a ravine, after winding for about 10 miles, close under a long irregular chain of hills; in Hurstingstone Hundred, and the Huntingdon Poor Law Union. The population in 1831, was 3006. The town consists of a long street of brick houses, with a second branching northwards from the bridge, along the bank of the stream. The weekly market is on Wednesday, and there is un annual fair on the 22d of July. The plague was introduced here in 1666, by a coat, the cloth of which came from London; and the wearer of the coat, Colonel Cromwell, cousin of the Protector, with the tailor and all his family, and about 400 persons, died of the infection. In 1731 a disastrous conflagration consumed upwards of 80 dwelling houses of the town, besides shops, barns, and other outbuildings. A free school for about 60 boys, and a spinning school for 50 girls, are supported by beuefactions in land, and there is a poor fund producing 50l. per annum. The ruins of the ancient and wealthy abbey supplied materials for building the present manor house. Its abbot ranked as a prelate, and enjoyed a place in parliament. The island on which it stood is d-escribed by early writers as "separated from the firm ground almost two bow-shots by clayey quagmires," and "situated among the fens, where the rivers stagnate in a spong-y kind of ground.'' It is, however, accessible by a solid causeway; and the soil, when cleared of . superfluous wood, was found to be "arable, and of a fat mould, plentiful in fruit and corn, planted with gardens and rich in pastures;" and the whole island " embroidered as it were with flowers." To this character, which it still justifies, may be added that it is luxuriant in reeds, flags, and bulrushes, and abounds in various trees, but especially the alder and wild ash. Ramsey Mere, in some parts very clear and picturesque, and otl1er surrounding pools, afford a great abundance of pike of extraordinary size, eels, and all sorts of fish and water-fowl.

V essey Charles Wkitesmith·"·Hughes James ST. IVES & W:E:LTON. ST. IVEs, in Hurstingstone Hundred, anciently called Slepe, acquired its present designation from a priory founded in 1001, in honour of lvo, a Persian saintt who travelled through England at the end of the sixth tentury. Its distance from London is 59! miles, and from Huntingdon b~ on the road to Lynn. lt is a vicar11ge, with Oldhurst and W oodhurst chapelries annexed, containing 3314 inhabitants. It ~as, every Monday, a very considerable marke~ and s meeting of justices; and well frequented annual fairs .on Whit Monday and the lOth of October: at the lattel' tnuch cheese is sold. The town police is under the superintendence of a high constable. It is tl1e centre of a Poor Law Union of 18 parisl1es in this county; and 6 in Cambridgeshire.. St. Ives union 1Vork.house is a neat brick building* divided into sepa .. rate wards fur men1 women, and male and female children: each ward radiating from the governor's house in the centre. It was erected in 1838, in the parish of Hemingford Greyf about! of a mile from St. Ives, and is one of the most commodious in En..; gland, having accommodation for 200 inmates. The town ia neat, pretty, and pleasantly situated, with B fine stone bridge over the Ouse, of six arches, erected by the abbots {)f Ramsey, formerly lords of the manor. The lower parts of the town, built directly on the river's brink, have boen Se\·eral times overflowed. The <:hurch l1as a handsome and strong tower, surmounted by a spire, which hall been twica blown down ; but the catalogue of misfortunes doe!f not end here: a more formidable elementary foe hatl yet to contribute its efforts for the desolation of St. Ives. On the 30th of April, 1689, flames suddenly burst forth from a malt house, and, hurried forward by a high wind, spread presently along the street to the water's edge, df'lstroying every thing by the way1 and even consumed two houses over the bridge. The whole amount of loss sustained in this dreadful calamity was computed at 13,0721. The houses are consequently of modern erection, and many of them, especially at the outskirts1 are ~f handsome dimen• sions, and the dwellings of respectable families. There are three breweries in the town, several maltkilns, and numerous inns and public houses. The priory b~rn and dove-house, are yet !ltanding. Slepe Hall, just out of the town, is usually called Cromwell Place, fi·om having been the residence of the Protector, who also rented the Wood Farm at a little distance. A large square stone in the hamlet of Old Burst, with a very ancient and now' illegible inscription, is supposed .to have given name to the Hundred. H'ame, Bes:ldence and Profession.

EY'NESBVB'Y. ST. N EoTS, 56 miles north-west from London on the Doncaster road, and 9 miles south-west of Huntingdon, is a vicarage Yalued at 163l. annually. including the hamlets of Monk's Hardwick and Wintringham; and containing with them a population of 2601. This town had its origin from the ancient village of Eynesbury, adjoining it on the other side of the Ouse; bore the same name, and was honoured with the residence of the Earls of Mercia; but Earl Alric, converting the palace into a priory, dedicated it to St. N eot, a saint much reverenced in Cornwall, and said to have been the fi·iend of Alfred; upon which the 1·ising town assumed the name of N eotsbury, changed after the conquest to the present denomination. The monks appear, according to the Cornish lE•gend, to have stolen the saint's body and en:ohrined it here. This is a considerable town, of a lively and respectable appearance, pleasantly situated on a broad part of the river, (whose banks are everywhere fertile,) and sheltered by a hill from the cold north-east winds. It consists of a large market place, and four principal streets, meeting at a point called the Cross: the High street, running from the bridge along the great north road ; Cambridge and Huntingdon streets, on the respective roads to those towns; and St. :Mary's street leading to the church. This edifice, dedicated to the Virgin, is in the Tudor style of architecture, and the finest in the whole county; terminated to the west by an ornamented tower 150 feet high, and of beautiful proportions. The stone bridge, built in 1589, across the Ou~e to Eynesbury, with a long causeway over the low grounds, which are subject to frequent inundations, is composed of several arches, the centre one 44 feet in span; and is of sufficient breadth to afford convenient passage for the great north road. The market is on Thursday; and there ar, fairs on Ascension Day, the third Thursday after it, the 1st of August, and 17th of December. The town derives from the road and 24 navigable river the advantages of a very brisk trade, and is supplied with abundance of excellent fish. There is a large paper manufacture, in a mill worked. by the river; and a free school for twenty-five boys. St. N eots is the centre of a Poor Law Union, comprising twenty-two parishes in this county, seven in Bedfordshire and one in Cambridgeshire. It was the scene of a decisive victory of the par .. liamentary forces over the Earl of Holland, who was afterwards taken prisoner at St. Ives. The vicinity boasts some beautiful scenery. Priory Hill is a fine seat in the village of Monk's Hardwick. !.fame, Residence, &. Profession. See also CLASSIFICATION of TRADEs, p. 26. Abraham J. Hztntingdon st ........................
