There are seven trading Companies belonging to the Town,
viz. Mercers, Sheermen, Cordwainers, Tanners, Glovers,
Taylors, and Pewterers, who have each their Hall. The Church here
is beautiful, and very large, and yet has twelve Chapels of Ease
belonging to it. 'Tis supported by five Rows of handsome Pillars.
Near the Church is Free-School well endowed, with Exhibitions for
such Scholars as are sent hence to Queen's-College,
Oxford. There's a Charity-School here for sixteen Boys and
ten Girls, all cloathed and taught. At a little Distance from the
wooden Bridge are the Ruins of a Castle, in which Catherine

This Place has had the great honour of giving Title of Baron,
Earl and Duke, particularly that of Earl to Prince George
of Denmark; and last of all, that of Dutchess to the late
Melusina Schulenberg, who had before been created Dutchess
of Munster in Ireland.
