FTER leaving Dover, in our road to Canterbury, the firfl; place we arrive at is the little village of Buckland which has a {mall church, but it contains nothing remark- a‘ole.* About a mile and a half to the left of this village are the remains of Bradfole, or St. Rhadagund’s abbey. It was founded by Hugh, its firfl abbot, and filled with monks of the Premonllratenfian order, which religious fociety was inllituted by St. Norbert, about the year 1119. Lambatd fays, at the fuppreflion it was valued at 981.2 year. About five miles and a. half to the right is the village of Walderfhare. The church is fmall, but contains fome good monuments of the ancientfamily of Monins, who were lords of the manor. In a fcparate chancel, built by fir Robert Furnefe, bart. is a noble Monument of fir Ro- hert’s father, well executed in marble. In this parilh is an elegant and pleafant feat of the earl of Guildford. The houfe, which is a fine l‘tr_u€ture, fituated within a noble. park, and furrounded with fpacious gardens, was built by Iiril-Ienry Furnefe. In the park is erected an high belvi-, dere, which commands a beautiful and molt extenlive view of the country. Oppofite to lord Guildford’s feat are the. remains of Well Langdon abbey, which was founded by fir William de Auberville, knt. in the reign of Richard I. for monks of the Prcmonflratenlian order, and dedicated to ”‘ A new bridge, to the great convenience of paffengcrs has lately been built’ over the river which crolli:s the road at this place. «- St.HMary: St. Mar} was {upp Betwc road is t" able for plats, w fituated ; called tl' pafling ti extends i tifirl vale tlemen’s from the are equa is the fci which lo his (econ 1tz'rm'zzri. the VVat over Bar Canterbt it traverl ' camp of two field a fingle l moved h? ner whet ones, all great bu clofe by, top, and '3' Sever: publilhcd h I 333 1 St. Mary and St. Thomas the Martyr, of Cztntetbttry.

This place is remark- V - , /5::_”:. able for having been the refitlence of the Knight’s Tama- Ldflbum " plats, who had a grand mztnfion here, which probably was 3 fituated about half amile to the-right, where now. is a place _ called the Temple. Proceeding towards Canterbury, and 33:] lb: pafiing the lixty-third (lone, we enter Bat-ham-down, which rcmaaril. extends in length abotiefour miles. On the left is it beau- vmage tiful vayle, Wl'HCl’t contains {everal Pleaiant villages an(.l=.g~en. bay. It tlemen s feats ;. thevtew to time right is not quite to open ‘monks from the road‘, hot on afcendtng theemrnence, the profy-c<‘l: ety was are equally dtverzifie-cl and more extenlive. _ On this down lambard is the fctte of an ancient camp, with threerditchcs round it, which iome conjecture to be the work of Julius Czefaxt. on image of his fecond expedition to this ifland. Dr. Stukely, in his. as fome 1tz'nerarz'um_ Curityimt, fays, “ To Dover from Canterbury ins’ who _ , the Watling-Itreet is Hill the common way; it is left entire thumb)! _ over Baraml-Down, with a high ridge’, (trait pointing to ‘ ifir Rm flantetbury cathedral‘ tower ;. as foon as it enters the D'own- “h is an 1t traverfes a group of ‘Celtic barrows, then leaves a {mall L The ‘camp of Czelar’s; further on it has been inclofed through a noble ' two fields”', and levelled with ploughi-ng; then it pafles by‘ 3 ' bum by a fingleharrow, whet-eon‘ Iloodthe mill, which is now re- Q belvh moved higher up ; then it afcends the hill to a hedge cor- -ll Ve view He!‘ Where ate‘ three lyarrows, a great one between two little are they ,6 ones, all enclofed With a double fquarc entrerichment of no V nded by 8”?“ bulk; I fancy them Roman, becaufe parallel to, and’ _ 2 chard L clofe by, the Roman road ; the great barrow has a cavity. at 4 ’ “ted ‘O top, and an entrance eallward; whether cafually, or with , ' ml), been * Isevcral other conlitlcrahl: c:.clol'urcs have been made fince Dr. Stukely , 4.,’ publtlhcd his ltincmiutn L‘ut'iol'..tn.

At Lydden the ‘»Vatl.ing.llr<’et falls , into that noble valley of Dover, made of two huge ridges of mo chalk, which divide themfelves into leflitr vallies tlropping A NIB into the great one at regular diliances, as tl‘JC little leaves ’ I of plants meet at the main them; this valley when if:-wetl Hm ' from the end, looks like a landfcape on (canes, lefllzuflng, E Hal according to perfpeétive, to Dover, between the two /nfrzri, 5' ' we‘ and the {ea at the end enclofcd between them. The ttreet I ho” ilides along the northern deciivity. ct-oflizs the rivulct which ‘ was wanders through the m CH of the valley at UuCl:lancl, {o to ‘ {Cal Biggin-gate, where is is termination, by the lid; ofthe old efla port, having now run from Chetler about 250 miles. ‘ thal Many barrows are on the {ides of thofe hi‘ls.” ,1 On a part of thefe downs called Greech, (ever:-.i human - Si“ lkeletons were difcoverccl in 1758, lying near the road fide; 1‘ m one of which had round the neck a firing of beads of va- C0“ rious forms and fizes, from the bignefs of a pigeon’s egg 0“ to that of a pen; by the fide lay three inllrumeuts of war,_ 4 Th‘ akind of fcymetar, a dagger and :1 fpear; {even others- tow lay in good order, about a yard apart, and two feet under Ha‘ ground, but without any thing to dil.’tinguilh them. _ . MC‘ About the year 1212 king John encamped on Bar‘nam- {“°‘V Down with an army of 60,000 men, to oppofe the French, '”"P ta-ho threatened him with an invalion. Simon Montford, ‘Cm Earl of Leicefler, alfo drew up a large army here in the . -bea reign of Henry III. many other {canes of war and peace 7 ‘ T556 have paffed, too numerous to particularife; In 1760, when ‘I59 an invafion was expected from our natural enemies the‘ t 011 French, here was an encampment of {even regimenté of Ma tdoc '3‘ Some of thefe barrows were opened a few years fierce by that learned ‘W14 and ingenious antiquarian the late Rev.

Near this flood Netherfolc- houfe, the ancient manfion of john \Vinchelier, efq. which was pulled down in I738, by the owner of the adjoining feat of Denhill. john Netherfole, efq. proprietor of this -ellate in.the reign of Henry VIII. was fo great a favourite, that he was indulged to wear a cap in the King’s prefence. To the left ofthe Down is the village of Barham, which gives name to this delightful fpot. The church has in it fume monuments of the Diggs family, who refided at Diggs- court in this parifh, now the feat cf Charles Daring, efq. On the oppofite fide of the Down is lleden, the feat of Thoznas VVatkinfon Payler, efq. and about two miles farther towards Cgtnrerbury is Higham, the new feat of James Hallet, cfq.' On this part of the Down, Canterbury horfe -races are annuaily exhibited.

The parifhofBifl1opf- boutn, in which this feat Ftands, was To called becaufe itwas given by king Kcnultph, at the requefi. of archbifhop Atheland, to the priory of Chrilt-Church. In the church are feveraltgood monuments, particularly that of the Rev. and learned Mr. Richard Hooker, author-of'the Eccle{ialli- cal Polity, who vvas reélor of this parifh; and in the feat of Bourne-place, is a molt curious painted window executed from Holland. From the weft end of the Down we defcend into the vil- lage of Bridge. This place took its name from a bridge over a branch of the Stout‘ which runs through it. It rifes from a fpring in th-e parilh of Bithopibourn, and is fomc times a1moI’c dry ‘; at other times a flood comes down front Tprings about Elham, with great rapidity, till interrupted by what the neighbours call fwallows, where it links into the earth till that is faturat-ed, then rufhes on again to the next interruption of the fame kind, {'0 that a flranger might be amazed at walking near this river's tide and down the ilream till he has loft it, and finds the channel dry. Near a mile to the right is the fmall village ofPatricl<.i‘bourn ; for- merly it had the name of Cheney, and was the refidence of the noble family of Cheney, before they -removed to Sher- lttnd in the ifle of Shepey. The church -is abuilding of confiderable antiquity; over the fouth door is a- curious Saxon arch, carved with a variety qf figures. In this parilh flood the ancient and very pleafant feat called Bifrons, the irclidence of the Rev. Edward Taylor. “ It was built,” '-"‘ This bridge being decayed and othcrwife inconvenient for carriages, a new and more commodious one has been built by fubfcription, for which the public are much indebted to the afliduity of the Rev.

The old houfe was pulled down in Feb. 1775, and is now rebuilt on a. modern and more commodious conltruétion. Near this village is that of Bekelbourn, which anciently belonged to the cinque port of Haliings, and enjoyed the fame privileges. Henry de‘Bel/H STN'1('11(>1z1s //(/‘U/'////I. 1\’1i1Ig‘ate ll/I" .
