the Earth In the year 1571. Marsley Hill in the East part of this Shire with a roaring Noise removed it self from the place where it stood and for three days together travelled from its old Seat It began this Motion on Saturday the 17th of February about 6 of the Clock at Night and by 7 of the Clock the next Morning it had gone about 200 foot carrying with it Sheep in their Coats Hedge-rows and Trees whereof some were overthrown and those that stood upon the Plain are now firmly growing upon the Hill Those that were East are turned West and those in the West are turned East In this remove it overthrew Kinnaston Chappel and turned two High ways near 300 foot from their old Paths The Ground that thus removed was about 26 Acres which opening it self Rocks and all bore the Earth before it for about 1200 foot without any stay leaving Pasturage in the place of Tillage and Tillage overspread the Pasturage Thus overwhelming its lower parts it mounted to a Hill 12 Fathom high and there rested after three days Travel Huntington-Shire THis Shire is bounded on the East by Cambridgeshire On the West by Northamptonshire On the South by Lincolnshire And on the North by Northamptonshire It containeth in length 23 Miles In Breadth 18. And in Circumference 65 Miles The temperature of the Air of this County is not so good as in other parts of England in respect of the great quantity of Meers in it yet the Natives that dwell about them are healthful and live very long but Strangers are subject to much Sickness For the Soyl the Hilly part is for the Plough and the Valley for Pasture which is accounted as good as any in England The Chief Commodities are Corn and Cattle It is in the Diocess of Lincoln and hath in it 79 Parishes Out of it are elected 4 Parliament Men.

And in Circumference 170 miles The Air of this County is neither so serene nor wholsom as other parts of England are which is occasioned by the many Vapours that arise from the Sea and River of Thames which almost encompass the same making it a kind of Peninsula And as it is not so healthy and clear neither is it so cold as other parts of England especially in the lower places near the Sea for the Snow upon a Thaw in the Winter will sooner be dissolved in the Valleys than on the Hilly parts of this County For the Soil thus much in general may be said The Weald for Wood.

But by more accurate admeasurement on the Road it is found to be distant from London 68 miles This Town of Ipswich hath been formerly VValled about by a Rampire of Earth and is a Town which for Commerce and fair Buildings may deserve the name of a City and that no inferiour one neither for its Trade Circuit and Situation may equalize any part of the Land This Town is yearly Governed by two Bailiffs and Ten Port-men in Scarlet and 24 Common-Council men in Purple a Recorder a Town-Clerk 5 Sergeants whereof one is for the Admiralty a Beadle and common Cryer all in Blew with the Towns Arms on their Sleeves which Arms are Party per pale Gules a Lion Rampant Or.

In it was erected the first Christian Church by Sigebert K. of the East Angles in which K. Edmond was Buried and in Memory of him the famousest Monastery in the World erected 2. For the Beauty and Buildings of this Town and Abbey I shall refer the Reader to the Character which Leyland gives of it viz. This The Sun hath not seen a Town more finely seated or so delicately upon the East ascent of a Hill with a River running on the East side Nor a more stately Abbey either for Revennues or incomparable magnificence in whose prospect appeareth rather a City than a Monastery so many Gates for entrance and many of them Brass so many Towers and a most glorious Church upon which attend 3 others standing all in the same Church-yard all of them very fine and of curious Artifice Not far from this Town a great Battel was fought by Robert Bassu E. of Leicester against his Soveraign K. Henry the 2d But Bassu was overthrown by Ri. Lucye the King 's High Justice Bassu and his Wife taken Prisoners and many English and Flemings slain In the 30th year of K. Henry the 2d near unto Orford there was taken a Fish in the shape of a Man which Fish was kept by Barthol de Glandevile in the Castle at Orford above 6 Months he spoke not one word all manner of meats he eat but delighted chiefly in raw Fish often-times they brought him to the Church but he never shewed any sign of adoration at length for want of looking to he stole to the Sea and was never more seen At Downham Bridge near unto Ipswich in the 10th year of Queen Elizabeth 17 Monstrous Fishes some of them being 27 foot in length In the year 1555. a crop of Pease without sowing or Tillage grew in the Rocks between Orford and Aldebrough when by unseasonable weather a great Dearth of Corn was in the Land there in the Month of August were gathered above 100 Quarters and in blossoming remained as many more where Grass never grew nor Earth ever seen but 3 yards solid Rock under their Roots Surrey IS bounded on the East by Kent On the West by Hantshire and Barkshire On the South by Sussex And on the North by Middlesex the River Thames dividing those two Counties This County containeth in length 40 miles In breadth 37. And in Circumference 130 miles The Temperature of the Air is sweet and wholsom For the Soil saith Speed it is better stored for Game than Grain and the wholsomness of the Air issues from the Sandiness of the Soil And notwithstanding it is wealthy enough both in Corn and Pasture especially in the North parts towards the River of Thames The chief Commodities of this County are Corn Box Fullers Earth and Walnuts It is in the Diocess of Winchester and hath in it 140 Parishes Out of it are elected 14 Members which sit in Parliament Knights 2 Southwark 2 Blechingly 2 Ryegate 2 Guildford 2 Gatton 2 Haslemore 2 Its Division is into 13 Hundreds viz.

But by more accurate admeasurement it is found to be 30 miles from London This County saith Speed is barren indeed of Cities or Towns of great estate yet is she stored with many Princely Houses yea and 5 of His Majesties Palaces so

Henry the 8th in a certain Chappel in York a Lamp was found burning in a Vault or Sepulchre under ground wherein Constantine the Emperour was supposed to have been Buried About Sheffield in this Shire are many Iron-Mines About the year of Christ 759. the Town of Doncaster was burnt by Fire from Heaven The Inhabitants about Dichmarsh and Marshland are of opinion that the Land there is hollow or hanging and that as the Waters rise the Land is also heaved up Near unto Bratherton is a yellow kind of Marle found which being cast upon the Fields causeth them to bear good Corn for many years together Not far from the Abby of Fountains there are Lead-Mines Near unto Burrough Bridge are certain Pyramids standing which are supposed to have been made of a factitious Stone compounded of pure Sand Lime Vitrials and other unctious matter Under Knaresborough is a Well called Dripa Well in which the Water springs not out of the Veins of the Earth but distills from the Rocks which hang over it The Water of this VVell saith Speed turns VVood into Stone for VVood put into it will shortly after be covered over with a Stony Bark and at length become Stone At Giggleswick in
