ADDITIONS to NORFOLK.

THE County of Norfolk is so call'd from its Northern situation, with respect to the rest of the East-Angles, whereof it was a part. Our Author recommends it for its being very populous, having (as he observes) 27 markets, and 625 villages. But if we may trust the Book of Rates of Taxes to the King, the esteem it hath upon that account may be rais'd much high∣er; for there we find 32 markets, and 711 villages: whether Mr. Camden was mistaken in the number, or this increase have been since his time, I dare not say. What he has observ'd of its being a Nursery of Lawyers, as it is confirm'd by many instances, so par∣ticularly by the great Sir Henry Spelman, from whom Spede confesses he receiv'd his description of Norfolk. After that, he drew up an entire description of this his native County; and upon his authority princi∣pally depends the greatest part of the following re∣marks.

[a] To begin with our Author; Thetford* 1.1 is no doubt the ancient Sitomagus; but whether that be corruptly written Simomagus and Sinomagus, is not so certain as to bear a positive assertion. It is worth the while to consider, whether there is not something in these names, which should imply its being the Capi∣tal city of the Iceni. If we take Simomagus, Ptolemy's Simeni (for so he names the people of those parts) does something favour it: and Sinomagus comes near∣er the name Iceni, especially if we may suppose the I cast away, as in Hispani, Spani. Besides, Caesar's calling this people Cenimagni (which Camden, find∣ing them distinctly read Ceni, Agni, is of opinion should be read Iceni, Regni,) farther confirms this conjecture.

[b] As to the relation which Mr. Camden disco∣vers between the initial of the old and present names, (Sit and Thet,) and from thence concludes that the modern name is compounded of the remains of the Roman, and the Saxon ford; there is no grounds for it. For the old Saxon name was Ðeod-ford (not as Mr. Camden writes it Ðeotford, the similitude of t and d probably creating a mistake in some old Co∣pies) which plainly signifies a ford of the people.

This town was famous for being a seat of the Kings of the East-Angles; but whether that fortifica∣tion with a double trench was the work of the Saxons, our Author leaves to the judgment of others. That incomparable Antiquary, Spelman, thinks it was done by the Danes, who made so considerable a figure in those parts; because the camps of both Romans and Saxons are generally observ'd to be much larger.

An anonymous Author quoted by* 1.2 Caius, tells us there was formerly a Great-School, or Nursery of Learn∣ing in this place. It may possibly be the same which† 1.3 Bede hints to, when he informs us how Sigebert (after he was return'd home, and settl'd in his kingdom) built a school for the education of youth, in imitation of what he had observ'd of that nature in France. Whether this passage belongs to Thetford or Cambridge (for the latter lays claim to it, to advance its Antiquity,) is a point too large to be discuss'd here.

Notwithstanding the eminency of the place (which besides the seat of the East-Saxon Kings, the Bishops-See and 8 Monasteries have entail'd upon it, a thing perhaps that few cities can boast of;) yet in 9 Edw 1. it was neither city nor burrow; for that King requiring an account of the cities, burrows, and villages of this Shire, Norwich was the only City return'd, and Yar∣mouth and Lynne, the only burrows; possibly because such had only that name, as sent Representatives to Parliament, whereas that Privilege was not then granted to this place.

[c] Northeast from hence lyes Buckenham,* 1.4 which can scarce be suppos'd to come from bucken beach-trees (as our Author imagines;) but rather from the great number of bucks, with which the neighbouring woods may be easily suppos'd to have been well-stock d, as at this day they do not altogether want them; as for beeches they have few or none.

[d] In the time of Henry 3. it pass'd from the Earl of Arundel to the Tatsals; for then upon default of heir-male, this large estate was divided amongst daughters. Since it came into the family of the Kni∣vets, Philip Knivet (who in Sir Henry Spelman's time was the possessor) had the title of Baronet conferr'd upon him, but the ancient estate was very much gone to decay.

[e] From hence we pass into the Hundred of Fore∣howe, so call'd from the four hills, upon which are held their meetings (as Sir Henry Spelman has observ'd; and heah in Saxon, is at this day high.) On the South∣east side thereof lyes Wimundham, or Windham,* 1.5 sold by the last of the Knivets of that place to Henry Ho∣bart, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas. There is this Epitaph upon William de Albeney, Butler to K. Hen∣ry 1. and founder of a Monastery of Black-Monks there,

Hunc Pincerna locum fundavit, & hic jacet; illa Quae dedit huic domui, jam sine fine tenet.

[f] At Depeham* 1.6 in the same Hundred, is a Linden-tree of vast bigness, mention'd and describ'd by Mr. Evelyn, in his Sylva, where he calls it Tillia Colossia Depemensis. To the eye it stands over the other trees when view'd at a distance, as a Giant to so many pig∣mies. At the foot of it is a spring, which petrifies sticks, leaves, and whatever falls into it.

South from hence is Attilburrough,* 1.7 a place (if John Bramis, a Monk of Thetford, may be credited) of great note and antiquity. He will have it built and fortify'd by Atlynge a King of those parts; and his evidence for it are two Copies of that History which he translated, one in French and the other in old English. But whatever credit this may deserve, 'tis certain that the termination burrough, wherever it oc∣curs, denotes something of antiquity, as a castle, a fort, or such like.

[g] Between this and Norwich is Carleton,* 1.8 which our Author tells us was held upon condition of carrying a hundred herings bak'd in pies to the King wherever he was. The town of Yarmouth by Charter is bound to send to the Sheriffs of Norwich these hundred her∣rings, but they are to be bak'd in 24 pies or pasties, and thence deliver'd to the Lord of the manour of East-Carlton, who is to convey them to the King. This is every year duly observ'd to this day, and an In∣denture drawn up, the substance whereof is, That upon delivery of these pies to the Lord of the ma∣nour, he shall acknowledge the receipt, and be ob∣liged to convey them to the King. I have seen a Co∣py of one made ten years since, and the same is eve∣ry year drawn up with the necessary alterations.

At a little distance Eastward is Castor,* 1.9 the famous Roman camp; which agrees exactly with the de∣scription given by Polybius, Vegetius, and others con∣cerning the Roman's ancient way of encampment. The faces for the four gates are still manifestly to be seen. The Porta Praetoria lookt toward the east, op∣posite to which (without the Porta Decumana, and close by the river's side) there still remain some ruins of a tower. The walls enclosing the camp were of flint and very large bricks.

[i] From hence we are carried to Norwich,* 1.10 the original of which name seems plainly to be from the castle there. For though it cannot be deny'd but ƿic (as Mr. Camden observes) signifies as well a bosom of the sea, a station for ships, and a village; as a castle; yet the circumstances seem here to determine it to the last sense. For the initial North being a relative term, must have something directly contrary to answer it: whereas we meet with no bays or bosoms on the south-side; but not above three miles south we find the re∣mains of an ancient royal castle, which still keeps some footsteps of antiquity in its name of Ca∣stor.

Now from hence the age of the town does in some measure appear. For if it took its name from the castle, 'tis evident it must be of less antiquity. The castle indeed, one would imagine from the circular

form of the ditch and vast compass of it, to have been either Danish or Norman; but that there must have been one earlier, is clear both from the Saxon original, and a charter of Henry 1. directed to Har∣vey first Bishop of Ely, whereby that Church is absolv'd from all services due to the Castle of Norwich. Now (as Sir Henry Spelman very well observes) such services could not be impos'd, whilst the lands were in the hands of the Bishops, Monks, &c. and by conse∣quence must needs become due whilst in the hands of some secular owner; (and the last was Tombertus, Go∣vernour of the Southern Girvii, who bestow'd them upon his wife Aetheldreda, foundress of the Monastery of Ely, about the year 677.) So that from hence it appears, that the age of this castle reaches at least so low, and perhaps much lower. The reason why the Church-lands were exempt from services, seems to be express'd in the Laws of Edward the second, because the prayers of the Church ought to be look'd upon as more effectual than secular assistance. The City is honour'd by making up one of the many titles of his Grace Henry Duke of Norfolk, whose father was created by King Charles the second, in the 24th of his Reign, Earl of Norwich.

[k] From hence the river leads us to Redeham,* 1.11 a small village upon the same river, so call'd from the reeds growing in the marshy grounds thereabouts. Here it was that Lothbroc the Danish Noble-man land∣ed, being by a sudden storm driven from his own coast, whilst he was a hawking; and finding enter∣tainment at King Edmund's Court, then at Castor, liv'd there till he was murther'd by the King's hunts∣man. Upon the news, his sons (though the mur∣therer had been sufficiently punish'd) and with 20000 men to revenge the death of their father, waste the whole kingdom of the East-Angles, and on the 20th of Novemb. An. 870. barbarously murther the King of it. By this account, Redeham must be of elder date than Yarmouth; because if this h••d been then built, Lothbroc had no doubt stopt there for assistance and directions.

[l] At Yarmouth, the river Thyrn likewise empties it self into the sea, upon which stands Blickling,* 1.12 fa∣mous (as our Author observes) for the ancient fami∣ly of the Cleres. It was first more famous for that of the Bolens, of which family was Thomas Bolen, Earl of Wiltshire; and Anne Bolen wife to Henry 8. and mother to Queen Elizabeth was born here. It came to the Cleres by marriage with the daughter of James Bolen, uncle to Queen Elizabeth, and by Edward Clere, Knight of the Order of St. Michael, was sold to Sir Henry Hobart, who built there a stately house.

[m] Near the place where this river runs into the sea, it makes up one side of a Peninsula, call'd at this day Flegg.* 1.13 The soil is fruitful, and bears corn very well; and here the Danes seem to have made their first settlement, both because it is nearest their landing, and pretty well fortify'd by the na∣ture of the place, as being almost encompass'd with water; as also because in that little compass of ground we find 13 villages ending in by, a Danish word signifying a village, or dwelling-place. And hence the Bi-lagines of the Danish writers, and our by-laws here in England, come to signifie such Laws as are peculiar to each town or village.

[n] Not far from hence, lyes Gimmingham,* 1.14 where the ancient custom of Tenure in Soccage (as Sir Hen∣ry Spelman observes) is still kept up; the Tenant not paying so much in money, but so many days work.

Farther toward the north, is Gresham,* 1.15 which gave name to a family of that name, render'd particularly eminent by Sir Thomas Gresham, founder of Gresham-College and the Royal-Exchange in London.

West of Gresham, at a small distance from the sea, is Mundesley,* 1.16 where some years ago, at a cliff, were taken up some large bones (thought to be of a Mon∣ster) which were petrify'd.

Upon the same coast more to the north, lyes Clay,* 1.17 * a port memorable for the son and heir to the King of Scotland,* 1.18 being there intercepted An. 1406. in his way to France, by the Sea-men of the place, who made a present of him to King Henry the fourth.

[o] South-west from hence, is Walsingham, famous for the Monastery built there by Richolde, a noble widow, Lady of that manour, about 400 years be∣fore the dissolution. Spelman tells us, when he was a child, there was a common story, that King Hen∣ry 8. went barefoot thither from Basham (a town lying South-west from hence) and offer'd a neck-lace of great value to the Virgin Mary.* 1.19† 1.20 But in the 30th year of the same Henry, Cromwel carry'd her image from hence to Chelsey, where he took care to have it burnt.

Towards the Sea-side are cast up all along little hills, which were doubtless the burying places of the Danes and Saxons, upon their engagements in those parts. Sepulchrum (says Tacitus concerning the Ger∣mans) cespes erigit. Those two us'd to bury the whole body, and afterwards raise a hill upon it; the Romans (as appears in Virgil by the burial of Me∣zentius) made their heap of turf, but only buried the ashes; so that whether they also might not have some share here (especially Brannodunum being so near) cannot be discover'd but by digging. How∣ever, our Learned Knight from those circumstances, has rais'd these three observations; first, that the per∣sons bury'd hereabouts must have been heathens, be∣cause the Christians follow'd the Jewish way of bu∣rying‖ 1.21 in low places. For though our word bury (coming from the Saxon byrigan and that from beorg, a hill) denotes a rising ground, as well as the Latin tumulare, yet this is to be reckon'd amongst those many words which Christians have borrow'd from the Heathens, and apply'd to their own Rites and Constitutions. Secondly, 'tis remarkable, that those parts which are now very fruitful in corn, were then uncultivated;* 1.22 because the Superstition of the Heathens would not allow them to bury in fields. Thirdly, that this must have been a scene of war between the Danes and Saxons: for in the fields near Creake there is a large Saxon Fortification, and the way that goes from it is to this day call'd blood-gate, as a mark of the dismal slaughter. Hereabouts is also great plenty of the herb Ebulum, which the in∣habitants call Dane-blood, as if it were the product of their blood spilt here.

[p] Upon the utmost part of the shore northward is Brannodunum,* 1.23 where are the plain remains of a a Roman-camp, answering the figure of that describ'd by Caesar (Comment. de Bell. Gall. l. 2.) Castra in altitudinem pedum 12. vallo fossáque duodeviginti pedum munire jubet. All the dimensions of it show that it was not made in a hurry, but was regular and de∣sign'd on purpose for a station upon that northern shore, against the incursions of the Saxons. It seems to imply no more by the name than a town upon a river; for dunum (as berig and burg in Saxon) signifies as well a town, as a hill; and the British bran, as well as burne, signifies a rivulet. These two we find confounded in the sirname of Leofrick the Saxon, who is sometimes call'd Dominus de Brane, and sometimes de Burne. Sir Henry Spelman tells us, That there were several coyns dugg up there, of which he had some brought him, as also two little brazen pitchers.

[q] From hence westward is S. Edmunds-Cape;* 1.24 so call'd from Edmund King and Martyr, who being by Offa made heir by adoption to the Kingdom of the East-Angles, landed with a great attendance from Germany, in some port not far from hence, call'd Maiden-boure, i.e. Thalamus Virginis. But which it should be is not so certain: Hecham is too little and obscure; nor does Burnham seem honourable or large enough to receive such a navy upon that occasion; tho' it must be confess'd that their ships in those times were but small. Lenn seems to lay the best claim to it, both as the most eminent port, and be∣cause it is really Maiden-boure, St. Margaret the Vir∣gin being as it were the tutelary Saint of that place. In honour of her, the Arms of the place are three Dragons heads (for she is said with a cross to have conquer'd a Dragon) each wounded with a cross. And their publick Seal has the picture of the Virgin, wounding the Dragon with a cross, and treading

him under foot, with this inscription round it; Stat Margareta, draco fugit, in cruce laeta.

[r] Down on the west-side of this County lies Hunstanstone,* 1.25* 1.26 where King Edmund resided near a whole year, endeavouring to get by heart David's Psalms in the Saxon language. The very book was religiously preserv'd by the Monks of St. Edmunds∣bury, till the general dissolution of Monasteries.

Farther southward on the sea-coast lies Inglesthorp,* 1.27† 1.28 so call'd from a village built there by one Ingulph, to whom Thoke the great Lord of these parts gave his only daughter in marriage: tho' perhaps it may be as probably fetch'd from Ingol, a little river which runs into the sea there.

[s] East of Inglesthorp, at a little distance from the shore, lies Sharneburne,* 1.29 whereof one Thoke was Lord when Felix came to convert the East-Angles. Upon his conversion to Christianity, he built here a Church dedicated to S. Peter and S. Paul. It was very little, and (according to the custom of that age) made of wood, for which reason it was call'd Stock-Chapel. Our Author tells us, the Lord of this manour at the Conquest recover'd his estate, which had been given to Warren by the Conquerour, in a legal Tryal. His name was Edwin, a Dane, who came over with Ca∣nutus, An. 1014. and had it by marrying an heiress of Thoke's family. It appears by a MS. quoted by Sir Henry Spelman, that his plea against Warren was, That he had not been aiding or assisting against the King, directly or indirectly, either before, at, or after the Con∣quest; but all that while kept himself out of arms. And this he was ready to prove whenever the King pleas'd.

[t] From hence towards Mershland, we go to Len,* 1.30 for it is falsly call'd Lynne; nor has it the name (as Mr. Camden imagines) from hlyn the British word, denoting the waters round it; but, as Spel∣man affirms from Len, in Saxon a farm, or tenure in fee; so Fanelhen among the Germans is the tenure or fee of a Baron; and Len Episcopi is the Bishop's farm. He farther observes (tho' I could never meet with any such word amongst our English-Saxons) that the word Len is us'd also in a more limited sense by the Saxons to signifie Church-lands, and appeals to the several names of places wherein that sense of the word holds. And farther, Ter-llen (it seems) in Welsh is Terra Ecclesiae. After the original of the name, our Author observes that there were two Lens, one Bishop's Len, on the east-side of Ouse, and the other on the west, King's Len; whereas the first is both the Len-Regis, and Episcopi. Till the time of K. Hen. 8. it was call'd Len-Episcopi, as being in the hands of the Bishop of Norwich; but that King exchanging the Monastery of S. Bennet of Hulme and other lands with the revenues of the Bishoprick, this amongst the rest came into the hands of the King, and so with the possessor chang'd it's name into Len-Regis.

[u] As to the Sword, there is no doubt but they have such a thing, tho' whether given by K. John is very much to be question'd. For first, they tell you it was given from K. John's side to be carry'd before the Mayor, whereas he did not grant them a Mayor, but only a Provost [Praepositus]; and the privilege of a Mayor was granted by K. Hen. 3. as a reward for their good service against the Barons in the Isle of Ely. Besides, K. John's Charter makes no menti∣on of the Sword; so that 'tis plain it was given by Henry 8. who (after it came into his hands) grant∣ed the town several privileges, chang'd their Burgesses into Aldermen, and granted them a Sword (whereof express mention is made in the Charter) to be car∣ry'd be••ore their Mayor.

I find a loose paper of Sir Henry Spelman's, dated Sept. 15. 1630. to this purpose; That he was then assur'd by Mr. Tho. Kenet Town-Clerk of Len, that one John Cooke the Sword-bearer about 50 years before, came to Mr. Ivory the School-master, and desir'd him, because one side of the hilt of the town-sword was p••ain, and without any inscription, that he would direct how to engrave upon it, that King John gave that Sword to the town. Whereupon, he caused the said Thomas Kenet, being then his scholar, to write these words, Ensis hic fuit donum Regis Jo∣hannis à suo ipsius latere datum; after which the Sword-bearer carry'd the writing to one Cooke a goldsmith, and caus'd him to engrave it. So that by this ac∣count, whatever Inscription of that nature may be now upon it, is of no authority.

It hath at present a very large Church with a high spire, built by Bishop Herbert,‖ 1.31 who also built the Cathedral at Norwich, with the Church of Yarmouth and Elmham: and all this was done by way of pe∣na••ce, after Symony had been charg'd upon him by the See of Rome.

The town hath no fresh-water springs; but is supply'd partly by a river from Gaywood (the water whereof is rais'd by Engines, and from thence some conduits in the town are supply'd) and partly by water convey'd in leaden pipes; one from Middle∣ton about 3 miles, the other from Mintlin, about 2 miles off.

[w] From Len we must pass over the Ouse into Mershland,* 1.32 which is a Peninsula, being almost sur∣rounded with navigable rivers and an arm of the sea. The even superficies, and other circumstances, seem to argue it's being formerly recover'd from the sea by the industry of the ancient inhabitants. In Mr. Camden's time it was so much expos'd to inun∣dations, that the best-contriv'd banks could scarce preserve it. And Sir Henry Spelman tells us, that within his memory, there was two general over∣flows, one of salt and the other of fresh water. By the latter (as appear'd upon oath taken before the Commissioners appointed to inspect that affair, where∣of Sir Henry was one) the inhabitants suffer'd 42000 pound damage. For the water did not then break down the bank (as at other times) but ran over it, at least a whole foot. They are within a few years fallen upon an expedient, which 'tis hop'd will prove a good defence to the most dangerous and weakest parts; a substantial brick-wall with earth, which (where it was well contriv'd) hath resisted two or three years tides. If it continues, it may set a value upon some estates, whose rents were almost annually laid out upon the old way of imbanking.

The quantity of it is about 30000 acres, and the soil turns to more account by grass than corn. The many ditches drawn through all parts of it, make it look as if cut to pieces; and over them are no less than cxi. bridges. The whole in the widest part, by measure, is but 10 miles over.

[x] Tylney-Smeeth,* 1.33 is a plain so fruitful, that tho' it be not any way above 2 miles over, yet it serves for pasture to all the larger cattel belonging to the 7 vil∣lages; and for 30000 sheep besides.

[y] Leaving Mershland, and crossing the Ouse, Downham* 1.34 lies in our way, so call'd from it's hilly si∣tuation (for dun signifies a hill, and ham a dwelling.) In some old Records it is call'd Downeham-hithe, i.e. Downeham-port, referring to the river upon which it s••••nds. The privilege of a Market belonging to this place is of very ancient date, for it is confirm'd by Edward the Confessor.

A little more northward is Stow-Bardolf,* 1.35 where Nicholas Hare built a stately house; but Hugh Hare, brother to Nicholas, was he who so much improv'd the estate; and dying without marriage, left above 40000 pound between 2 nephews.

Not far from hence lies West-Dereham,* 1.36 famous for the birth of Hubert Walter, who being bred up under the famous Lord Chief Justice Glanville, became Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Chancellour under K. Rich. 1. Legate to Pope Celestine 4. and Lord Chief Justice of all England. The respect he had for the place, oblig'd him to build a Religious-house there, wherein (as a piece of gratitude for the many favours he had receiv'd) he order'd that they should constantly pray for the soul of his great patron, Ralph de Glanvilla.

Farther northward, Rising* 1.37 is very remarkable; so call'd from the high hill there. Upon it is a castle, and a vast circular ditch; the form whereof (accord∣ing to Procopius's description) answers the Gothick manner of fortifying; and therefore 'tis probably a work of the Normans, who are descended from the Goths. The Saxons indeed made their fosse cir∣cular, but then it was more narrow, less deep, and

generally of greater circumference. But the Ro∣mans also seem to have had something of a fortifi∣cation here; the shore being much expos'd to pyra∣cies (wherein the Saxons show'd themselves great masters;) and the place as it were guarding and o∣verlooking one of the best harbours in those parts. Besides, there was dug up near this place a coyn of Constantine the Great, which Sir Henry Spelman says was brought him.

At a little more distance from the sea, is Congham,* 1.38 honour'd with the birth of Sir Henry Spelman, that great Oracle of Law, Patron of the Church, and glory of England.

More inwards is Rougham,* 1.39 the seat of the Yelvertons, of whom William under Hen. 6. Christopher under Qu. Elizabeth, and Henry under K. Charles 1. were Lord Chief Justices of England.

Next is Babbingley;* 1.40 whither Felix, the Apostle of the East-Angles, coming about the year 630. converted the inhabitants to Christianity, and built the first Church in those parts, whereof succeeding ages made S. Felix the patron. Some remains of this passage are still found in the adjoyning mountains call'd Christian-hills; and in Flitcham,* 1.41 a neighbour∣ing place, which imports as much as the village or dwelling-place of Felix.

[bb] Removing from the sea-coast towards the south-east, Narburgh* 1.42 lies in our way; the termina∣tion whereof seems to suggest something of Antiqui∣ty, and the place it self answers the name. For there is an old Fortification, and from hence to Oxburgh has been a military foss, tho' it be now levell'd in some places. But what puts it beyond dispute is, that Sir Clement Spelman, contriving an Orchard at the foot of the hill, digg'd up the bones of men in great abundance, and likewise old pieces of armour.

[cc] Upon the north-side of the Hier, stands Elm∣ham,* 1.43 which till within these two ages was never un∣der the jurisdiction of any secular Lord. For under the Heathens, 'tis said to have been the habitation of a Flamin, and after their conversion to Christianity by Felix, it came into the possession of the Bishops. The See was first at Dunwich, but when it was thought too great for the management of one, it was divided into two Dioceses, the one to reside at Dunwich for Suffolk, and the other at Elmham for Norfolk.

[dd] Directly south is East-Dereham,* 1.44 call'd also Market-Dereham, which having been almost all burnt to the ground, is now rebuilt into a fair town; and Hingham, another market town not far from it, hath had both the same disease and cure.

[ee] About 4 miles from Ic-burrough lies Weeting,* 1.45 near Brandon-ferry; wherein is an old wasted castle moated about; and at a mile's distance eastward, is a hill with certain small trenches or ancient fortificati∣ons, call'd Gimes-graves, of which name the inhabitants can give no account. On the west-side of this place, from the edge of the Fen arises a bank and ditch, which running on for some miles, parts that bound of Weeting from Wilton and Feltwell; and is call'd the Foss.

In the fields of Weeting, is a fine green way, call'd Walsingham-way, being the road for the pilgrims to the Lady of Walsingham. And about a mile from the town, north, is another like it from Hockwold and Wilton, upon which are two stump crosses of stone, supposed to be set there for direction to the pilgrims.
