115|=Sherborne=, Dorset, 140. A market town and parish, containing 597
|houses, and 3370 inhabitants. It was anciently a bishopric, but in
|the 11th century, the see being removed to Salisbury, the
|cathedral was converted into an abbey. It was originally a noble
|structure, but, in the reign of Henry the Seventh, a quarrel
|happening between the monks and inhabitants, the latter set fire
|to the building, and great part of it was burned down. At the
|dissolution of monasteries it was made parochial, and is now the
|finest parish church in the west of England. The inside is
|beautifully decorated, and contains many Saxon monuments of kings
|and nobility.
|
|The town is pleasantly situated on the declivity of a hill, and is
|divided into two parts, called Sherborne and Castleton, by the
|river Ivel: that part called _Castleton_ had a strong castle
|erected by Roger, third bishop of Salisbury, which in the civil
|wars of Charles the First, was the first castle besieged by the
|parliament forces, and the last that held out for that prince.
|Only the ruins of this castle are now to be seen. The markets are
|on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and are well supplied.

75|=Southampton=, Hants, 79, 91, 221. A borough town, consisting of
|seven parishes, (including Stoneham,) situated at the union of the
|rivers Test and Itchen, which form Southampton Bay. It contains
|1669 houses, and 9617 inhabitants; many of the streets are
|handsome and well built. The High-street, terminating at the Quay,
|much resembles, in width and beauty, the High-street of Oxford,
|and has a charming view of the river and the New Forest, and the
|shops may vie with any in the metropolis. The town, (except the
|eastern part) is well paved and lighted, and supplied with
|excellent water.
|
|The approach to the town from the London road is exceedingly
|striking, from the beautiful view of Southampton Bay, the Isle of
|Wight, and the scenery of the New Forest, elegant seats and rows
|of trees line the road on both sides; and on entering the town by
|one of its more fashionable streets, the view is farther
|heightened by that venerable remain of antiquity, the Bargate. The
|north front is a semi-octagon, flanked with two semicircular
|turrets, and crowned with large and handsome open machicolations;
|above the arch of entrance, on a row of sunk pannels, is a shield
|of relief, charged with the arms of England, Scotland, Paulet,
|Windham, &c. The greater part is supposed to have been erected in
|the reign of Edward the Third, the front towards the High Street
|is modern and plain, and has a statue of Queen Anne in the central
|niche. Over the arches of the two foot and carriage ways is a
|town-hall and grand jury-room. Two lions, cast in lead, guard the
|entrance of the Bargate, besides which there are two gigantic
|figures of _Ascupart_ and his renowned conqueror, _Sir Bevis of
|Southampton_.
|
|The walls with which the town was anciently surrounded are in many
|places quite destroyed, but in others they still present a
|venerable appearance; they were defended by towers at different
|intervals, several of which still remain. The circuit of the
|ancient walls is computed to have been about a mile and a quarter,
|but the whole town cannot be less than three miles round at
|present.
|
|The castle stands in the south part of the town, and seems to have
|been of a semicircular form, of which the town wall towards the
|sea, formed the diameter. The keep stood on a high artificial
|mount, and from its ruins a small round tower has been
|constructed, from whence there is a delightful prospect. It is
|supposed to have been of Saxon origin. The castle is now the
|property of the Marquis of Lansdown, of which has been formed, by
|considerable additions, a very commodious mansion.
|
|Southampton contains five parish churches, these are for the most
|part handsome edifices.
|
|Near the west quay is a range of convenient baths, in which the
|water is changed every tide; here is also a commodious warm bath:
|further towards the channel is another suit of convenient and well
|frequented baths, and several bathing machines have been erected
|at the Cross-house near Itchen Ferry.
|
|At the bottom of Orchard Street, without the Bargate, is a spring
|of the nature of Tunbridge Wells, and used with effect for the
|same complaints. The public rooms are situated near the baths, and
|command a delightful prospect. Here is also a capacious and
|elegant theatre. The town has several well furnished libraries,
|and three respectable banks.
|
|About half a mile from the Bargate stand the barracks, enclosing
|an area of two acres.
|
|This town was made a borough by Henry the Second, and by King John
|a county of itself; it returns two members to parliament, and has
|a market on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

|Tunbridge is a very flourishing town, and once returned members to
|parliament. The church is a handsome modern structure. The ruins
|of its once magnificent castle are still to be seen, which was the
|scene of many events recorded in British history. Here is a famous
|grammar school, founded by Sir Andrew Judd, Lord Mayor of London
|in 1551; many of the masters of this seminary have been
|distinguished for their literary characters.
|
|The name of this town is supposed to be derived from _the Town of
|Bridges_, it having a stone bridge over each of the streams of the
|Medway. The market is on Friday, and on the first Tuesday in every
|month for cattle.

35|Tunbridge Wells, Kent, 14. A town and chapelry, containing 236
|houses, and 1618 inhabitants. This town may be divided into four
|divisions, viz. Mount Ephraim, Mount Pleasant, Mount Sion, and the
|Wells; the three former are the suburbs, and take their name from
|their situation. Mount Ephraim was once the most fashionable
|quarter, and had its assembly room, tavern, &c. but it is now
|chiefly occupied by lodging houses. The part called the Wells, is
|the centre of both business and amusement, having elegant assembly
|rooms, a new chapel, and the place of the public parades, called
|the Upper and Lower. These are two walks parallel to each other,
|the former being the principal one, is paved with Purbeck stone;
|from which the Lower Parade is divided by a range of palisadoes. A
|portico, supported by wooden Tuscan pillars, runs the length of
|the principal walk. Here is a neat little theatre.
|
|The principal trade of this town is in the manufacture and sale of
|toys, made of cherry-tree, sycamore, &c. and the Tunbridge
|turnery-ware finds a ready mart in most parts of the kingdom.
|
|The celebrated springs of Tunbridge were first discovered in 1606,
|by Dudley Lord North, who had retired into the neighbourhood in
|the last stage of a consumption; after three months use of these
|waters, his Lordship’s health was quite recovered, and he lived to
|be 80 years of age. The wells are now enclosed with a triangular
|stone wall, containing a well paved area, entered by a handsome
|gateway; over the springs are placed basons, with perforations at
|the bottom to discharge the overflowing: at the fountain head it
|is extremely clear and pellucid, having little smell, but the
|taste is strongly impregnated with iron: the season commences in
|March or April, and ends as late as November. In the neighbourhood
|are many pleasant walks and rides.
