a town in Yorkshire, 188 miles from London. It is almost surrounded by a small arm of the sea; and the church having a high steeple, is a noted sea-mark. Not many years ago there was a street here called Hornby beck, which was washed away by the sea, except a house or two. E. Long. 0. 6. N. Lat. 54°. 0'.

a town of Middlesex, five miles north of London. It is a long straggling place, situated in a low valley, but extremely pleasant, having the new river winding through it. Its church, of which Highgate is a hamlet, is supposed to be built with the stones that came from Lodge-Hill, the bishop of London's hunting-seat in his park here; it having been his manor from the most ancient times. About a mile nearer this is a coppice of young trees, called Hornsey wood, at the entrance of which is a public house, to which great numbers of persons resort from the city. This house being situated on the top of a hill, affords a delightful prospect of the neighbouring country.
