DIS, a town of Norfolk, seated on the river Wavenay, on the side of a hill. It is a neat flourishing town, with one large church, a Presbyterian and a Quaker meeting. It has about 600 good houses; the streets are well paved, pretty wide, and always clean. At the west end of the town is a large meer or lake; but so muddy, that the inhabitants can make no other use of it but in catching of eels. In the town are carried on manufactories of sailcloth, hose, and the making of staves. E. Long. 1. 16. N. Lat. 52. 25.
