PETWORTH, in Sussex in England, five miles from Midhurst and the Sussex Downs, and 49 from London, is a large, populous, and handsome town. It is adorned with several seats of gentlemen, particularly the magnificent seat of the Percys, earls of Northumberland, many of whom lie buried in a separate vault of its church. The rectory, the richest in the county, is said to be worth 600l. or 700l. a year, and is in the Duke of Somerset's gift: in whose armour, in this place, there is a sword which, by circumstances, appears to have been the weapon of the famous Henry Hotspur, though it is not so unwieldy as other ancient swords generally are.
