MERIDEN, or MIREDEN, a town of Warwickshire, 97 miles from London, in the London road, near Coventry. It is pleasantly situated, though in a wet clayey situation, and is not ill built. The church stands on an elevated spot, and contains some good monuments. There is an inn here, about half way from St Clement's forest to Coventry, one of the finest in this part of England, being built like a nobleman's seat.
