a town of Westmorland, 253 miles from London. It is a large place, with a woollen manufactory, and a market on Tuesday. It has a free school well endowed, with three presentations to Christ's college Cambridge. It has a large church, and a good stone bridge of three arches over the Lon. From its churchyard and the banks of the river, there is a very fine prospect of the mountains at a vast distance, as well as of the course of the river, which abounds with salmon, trout, &c. and provisions of all sorts are very cheap here.

Kirky-Steven, or Stephen's Church, a town of Westmorland, 257 miles from London, stands on the river Eden near Sedbergh and Algarth. The church is a large building with a lofty tower; in it are several old monuments. Here is a good free school that has two exhibitions. The town is noted for the manufactory of yarn stockings; and it has a market and a fair.

Kirby-Thore, a town of Westmorland, stands also on the river Eden, north-west of Appleby, 267 miles from London. A horn of a moose deer was found here a few years since, at the depth of four feet from the surface of the earth: and several other antiquities have been dug up or taken out of a well, discovered at the end of the town near the bridge. Below it are the vast ruins of an ancient town, where Roman coins and urns are frequently dug up. The people call it Whely castle, 300 yards in length, and 150 in breadth, with three entrances on each side, with bulwarks before them. At a little distance from thence Roman urns are found, containing bones and ashes. The old military way runs through it, called the Maiden-way, because it began at Maiden-castle in Stainmore in Yorkshire, north riding.
