FRAMLINGHAM, a town in Sussex, 88 miles from London. It is a large old place, with a castle, supposed to have been built by some of the first kings of the East Angles; the walls, yet standing, are 44 feet high, 8 thick, with 13 towers 14 feet above them, two of which are watch-towers. To this castle the princess, afterwards Queen Mary I. retired, when the Lady Jane Grey was her competitor for the crown. The town is pleasantly situated, though but indifferently built, upon a clay hill, in a fruitful soil and healthy air, near the source of the river Ore, by some called Wincknel, which runs through it to Oxford. It has a spacious place for the market, which is held on Saturday; and a large stately church built all of black flint, with a steeple 100 feet high; two good alms-houses; and a free-school.
