Efq; ^ - With the Remains of feveral large Con- vents; particularly "Thorny Ahhty ^ Anglefe^ Abbey^ and Barnwell Priory, Cambridge ^oum defcribcd, GRandtacafter^ or the antient City of The oM Granta^ fituate in 52 Degrees North ^^^y* Latitude; 52 Miles North of Z.i/«itf«. Under the fame Meridian, or a very few Minutes to the Eaft ward of it, was originally a Roman Station Htuate on an elevated Ground on the N. W. Side of the River Grant., from wiience it takes its Name. It is of an irregular Faral=« kllogrammic Figure, containing near 30 Acres furrounded on all Sides with a deep Intrenchment, great Part of which is yet remaining, particularly towards the South- weft Side, and in the Ground behind St. Mary Magdalen College. The Town was divided into 4 Parts by 2 Streets croffing each other at right Angles^ . A3 and A Defer ipt ion of the and dividing the four Cardinal Points of the Heavens, as Vv^as the Cuftom of the Romans in building their Cities. The principal Street ran from S.E. to N. W. being continued from the Foot of Gogmagog HiDs, pafied the Grant by a Ford (now the Great Bridge) and continued throuQ;h this Place in a flraio;ht Line to Godmanchefter^ another llation of the Ro- mans •, and that which crofled it was another Road which pafTed through the City from South-Weft to North-Eaft towards Ely. The Forum feems to have been on the South- Weft Side of the City, being a large Square proper for the Purpofe near the South- Weft Gate. Though feveral Pieces of Roman Coin and other Antiquities have been found in the Neighbourhood, there are but little Remains of Roraan W^ork, except the Intrenchments before mentioned : However there are not wanting fome Proofs of there having been Roman Buildings on this Spot ; for the Curious in Antiquities may find in the Ruins of St. Peter's Church which ftands within the South- Angle of the Roman Forti- fication, many Roman Bricks worked into the Wall on each Side the North Door. And it may be obferved likewife, that this Door is 34.8 Inches wide, being exadlly 3 Roman Feet. But whether it is of Roman Work or not the Curious are left to deter- mine : Though the Bricks that are ufed about it, were moft probably taken from the Re- mains Unlverfity of Cambridge ^ (^c. 7 mains of fome Roman Buildings •, and it Is not improbable that the Church ftands on the Foundation of a Roman Temple. Within the Bounds of the Roman Town were formerly two Churches ; one called y^ll Saints^ the other St. Peter^s beforenien- tioned. The firfl is now entirely deilroyed ; and the latter has fallen to ruin within thefe few Years for want of necelTary Repairs. The Caftle, of which there are now but tew Remains, except the Gateway, which ferves for the County-Gaol, was built fince the Conqueft. It is nov/ almofl: furrounded with a Fortification of more modern Work, ralfedFortiiica- by the Oliverians in the civil Wars. Within ^}|^^ ^^ this Inclofure is an artificial Hill of what Antiquity is uncertain, though probably older than the Roman Station. From the Top of this Hill is an agreeable Prolped of the Town and County for near tv/enty Miles round. Modern Cambridge is fituate in . a fine Modern fruitful Plain, on the River Grant. Extenfive^^^- Cornfields on the South-Eaft and Weft; thef^7sf^;^, Profpedb bounded by the Hills of Hertford- tion. Jhire and Ejfex^ at the diftance of 14 or 15 Miles-, and on the North*eaft, are fruitful Meadows, extending as far as the Eye can reach. The River is of great Advantage to the Univerfity and Town, and to the adjacent Counties j and though it is at prefent navi- gable A S A Defcripfton of the gable no farther than this Place, it is capable of being made fo quite into HertforJ/Jiire^ Extent The prefent Town is a Mile in Length, and Fi- from South to North, and about half a Mile gure. broad in the Middle, diminifhing towards each Extremity, and comes pretty near an oval Figure. It Hands on a perfe£l Level encompafled by the Colleges, with their beautiful Groves and Gardens : It is divided into two Parts ; much the greateft Part lying Sourh-Eail of th'fe River, over which are 9 Bridges, 5 of them of Stone, the reft Wood. Profpea . The Profped of the Town from the Weft of the is inexpreffibly fine; where beautiful Col- Town leges. Groves, Gardens, and green Fields ^^^ lyi^'g on the Banks of the River (which forms a fpacious natural Canal,) are agree- ably intermixed ; and the Stone Bridges of feveral Colleges over the River add to the Beauty of it: Among thefe the Bridge lately Rebuilt by Trinity College^ deferves the atten- tion of the Curious, for being conftru(5ted upon Cycloidal Arches. The Town is divided into fourteen Parifties, and contains 1200 Houfes and upwards, and about 6000 Inhabitants : The two principal Streets, Bridge-Jireet and Trompington-ftreet, run the whole length of it, almoft from North to South : Trompington-ftreet (the North End whereof is uiually called St. John's- Lane) falls into Eridge-Jlreei oppofite to St. Sefulckre's^ Vniverfity of Cambridge^ tf c. 9 Sepukhre^s^ or the Round Church ; and the South End of Bridge-ftreet is known by the Name of St. Andrew'^ Parifh. Tromphigton- ftreet has been lately much improved, by many new Houfes, and by laying Catharine- Hall open to it j and is likely loon to receive farther Improvement from the new Building of BerCet College, The grand Market-place confifls of twoMarket- fpacious oblong Squares, united together, and place, forming the Greek Capital Letter r-, at the top of which (lands the Shire-Hall, lately eredled at the Expence of the Gentlemen of the County : It ftands upon Arches faced with Stone, and is 80 Feet 2 Inches long, 34 broad, and 33 high with the Parapet : It is equally divided into two fpacious Courts, in which the Judges hold the AfTizes •, and in one of thefe courts the J u Rices of the Peace hold their Quarter Seflion both for Town and County. Underneath the Shire-Hall the Butchers have their Stalls on Saturdays^ which is the grand Market-day -, and there is a Market here every Day for Poultry, Butter, and Cheefe, except on Sundays and Mondays, At the back of the Shire-PIali is the antient Town-Hall, where all the Corporation*Bu(i- nefs is tranfadled-, and at the End of the fmaller Square is the Crofs, being an hand- fome fquare flone Pillar of the lonick Order; on the top of which is an Orb and Crofs gilt. A lo A Defcrtption of the Conduit.. A handfome ftone Conduit, of an Hexa- gon Figure, ftands in the Front of the Town- Hall, inclofed with an Iron Pallifade, to which the Water is brought by an Aquedu6t (the Benefaction of the celebrated Hohjon the Car- rier) which furnifhes the Middle of the Town with Water, always running through feveral Pipes. The greatefl Genius could not have done a more grateful Piece of Service to the Town, or have taken a more eiJedlual Way to perpetuate his Memory, than this plain honed Man has done, by ereding this Aque- dud and Conduit j on the North Side whereof is this Infcription : Thomas Plobfon, late Carrier Between Lon- don and this fcwn^ in his Life-time^ was at the f ok Charge of ereSiing this Structure ^ A.D. 1 6 14. He departed this Life i January, 1630, and gave by Willy the Rent of feven Lays of Paflure-ground^ lying in St. Thomas'j Lays, towards the Maintenance of this Conduit for ever : Moreover^ at his Deaths he gave Ten Founds towards the beautifying of the fame. On the South Side is this Infcription : Edward Potto, formerly an Alderman of this Town^ gave two Tenements in Butcher-row, in the Parifh of St. EdwardV, Cambridge; the Rents and Profits whereof are for ever to be applied towards the Repairs of this Conduit, Hohfon Univerfify of Cambridge^ &c, 1 1 Hohfon was no lefs famous, in his Days, i7o^/o«'s for furnifhing the Scholars with Horfes, than Horfes. for bringing water to the Town : But he made it an unalterable Rule, it feems, that every Horfe fhould have an equal Share of Reft and Fatigue, and therefore would never let one out of his Turn-, from whence the proverbial Saying, HobfonV Choice : This or none. But to return to the Market-place: At the North End of it, oppofite to the Town-Hall, are handfome private Houfes, and on the Eafl and Weft are fome •, But the Misfortune of it here, as well as at Oxford^ is, that none care to layout much Money on College- Leafes •, which is the true Reafon the private Buildings are not equal to thofe in fome other Towns. Weft of and near adjoining to the grand Market is the Markets. Market for Fruit and Garden Stuff, and South of that the Market for Horfe-Corn : At the South End of the Town is a weekly Mar- ket for live Cattle. There never has been any Wall or Fortifica- No Walls tion about the Town. King Henry 111. indeed, or Gates, ereded two Gates on the South (one near St. Peter's College, and the other near Ch'ifth College) of which there are now no Remains : He caufed a FofTe, or Ditch, alfo to be dug without thofe Gates, extending from the Ri- ver near ^een\ Mill on the Weft,, to that Part of the River oppofite to the Caftle on the 12 A 'Defcription of the the Eafl; and defigned a Wall within the Fofle, but did not live to build it: So th^c the new Town had little or no Defence. Fourteen As there are fourteen Pari flies in the Town, ^^%^^" fo there are fourteen Parifh Churches ; viz, i. rifhes^ Gr^^/ St Marfs, 2. Little St. Mary\ 3 St Botolph^ 4 Ben'et^ 5 6"/. Edward's^ 6 St. An- drew's the Greats 7. 6"/. Andre'w's the Lefs, 8. Trinity^ g. St. Michael's^ 10, All-Saints^ 11. 6"/. Sepulchre's, 12. St Clement's, on the South Side of the River; 13. 6"/ Giles's, and, 146"/. Peter's, on the North Side of the River. Great St. Mary's is fituate in the Middle of the Town, on the Eafl Side of Trompingtcn- Street, oppofite to the Regent-walk and the Schools. This is the Church to which the Univerfity refort on Sundays and Holidays to hear Sermons-, but the Parifhioners have the Ufe of it at different Times of the Day. The Body of this Church is 75 Feet long, and the Chancel 45 Feet, and the Breadth of the Church 6^ Feet. There are three Ifles in the Church, and as many Chancels: In a very grand Gallery, ereded over that Part of the Middle-chancel, nearelt the Body of the Church (which with the Chancel has been lately fitted up) fit the Vice-chancellor, Heads of Colleges, Noblemen, and Dodors •, and in the Middle- ifle is the Pit where the Mafters of Arts and Fellow- com ir oners fit; near the Middle whereof fbands the Pulpit and Read- ing- defk. The Bachelors and Undergraduates a have Univerjity of Cctmhridge^ Coaches come from London to ply at this Fair,, as formerly, the Town furnifhing great Num- bers themfelves, which are perpetually hurry- ing from Cambridge to the Fair, and back a- gain, while it lafts, This Fair is laid out (fince the Alteration of the Stile) on the 4th of September by the Mayor aad.

The Entertainment Peo- ple meet with here, is chiefly Oyflers, Her- rings, and Stubble-Geefe. There ufed to be Plays adled every Evening, and Muflc-Booths, during the Fair-, but the Univerfity not ap- proving of thefe Diverfions, they are now difcontinued.

There are two Reprefentatives chofen by the Univerfity, two by the County, and two by the Town, to fit in Parliament: King james I. impowered this Univerfity, and that of Oxford, to eled two Members each to reprefent them in Parliament. For the pre- fent JVfembers for the Univerfity, Town, and County, the Reader is refened to the Liils at the End of this Book. We proceed to defcribe the public Build- Senate- ings in theUni verfity : And ^ri\, the SENATE- Ho^^^» House, fituate in the Middle of the Town, - which forms the North Side of an intended Quadrangle, as the Schools and public Libra- ry do the Weft Side : On the South another Building is defigned of the like Form, dired- ly oppofite to the Senate-FIoufe, in which are to be the Confiftory, Regifter'sOfEce, &c. and St Marfs Church ftands on the Eaft Side of the Square.

Before thefe Colleges were ereded, the Students of both Univerfities hired their Halls or Hotels, for their Exercifes and Difputati- ons, of the Townfmen, and -iodged or boarded in the Townfmens Houfes; for both Oxford and Cambridge were Univerfities long before they were pofTefled of any Colleges or Halls in their own Right. Thefe were pro- bably the Seats of Learning foon after the Eftablifhment of the Chriftian Religion in the Ifland, in the fourth Century, by Con- Jiantine the Great-, but deftroyed by the Infi- del Saxons, and afterwards by the Danes, and lay in Ruins many Years; and, tho' King Alfred be ftiled the Reftorer of Learning, there does not appear to have bw^en any Col- lege ereded until the Reign oi Henry III. of which thefe four above-mentioned were the firft, and founded fo near the fame time, that it is not worth while to contend about their Antiquity.

Chapel. The Chapel is one of the fineft Pieces of Gothic Architeflure now remaining \a Europe^ 304 Feet long, and 73 broad from Outficle to Outfide, and 40 within ; and 9 1 Feet in Height to the Battlements, and yet not a Tin- gle Pillar to fuRain the Roofs, for there are two ; the firfl of Stone, finely wrought, the other of Timber, covered with Lead, be- tween which a Man may walk upright. It is adorned with 26 beautiful Pinnacles, of which the four principal are 150 Feet high finely carved -, and are feen at 20 Miles Di- ftance. There is fuch a Profufion of Carved- work, both within and without, as is no where to be paralleled. The Carving of the numerous Stalls is inimitable, as well as that on the Organ Gallery, where ftill remains an Image of God the Father, driving the fallen Angels out of Heaven. The various Pieces of Scripture- Hiftory, painted on the 26 fpa- cious Windows, are very near intire ftill, but were in fome Danger of being demolifhed in the Civil Wars, when the Parliament Forces were in Pofieffion of the Chapel : But Crcmwell feems to have had a particular Re- gard for the Univerfity where he had his Education, and for a Town he had the Ho- nour to reprefent in Parliament, or it is not to be conceived why he (hould fuifer the Fi- gures p yyy^t =^^^^*^- Ijllili |[iil^^^^^i*^^Jj[l[ Ig^^^SSL-*^^ ■jla^^^gl ^^^"' ^ H^Hi ^^ ■ JB^I y^ 5« §^^^ E r^ P^^Sp I fak p.lls^'i^^llll jl is ^ '~" b^ ^I^Bg^^^mf il!^^- H ^"'4i!LJJii»^gini!ir j^^ --^^ a ^l^pg^ii iy^,_ ^\- i^^^^ is! ^^^_^ o ^^y^^ ^P^ ? 4 ^^5 t ^ imM^ i^s^ « 11 ^^i^saB^l ii^^j^ - , k ^^^w't lr~f ^~_ ^ 5n ■V. ■ 3 .•^ 3 i^ o Univerjify of Cambridge^ &c, 49 gures of Saints and Angels, and even an Image of God the Father, to remain, when every Thing of this Kind was eraled in every other Part of the Kingdom almoft, and fcarce a Crofs permitted to {land in Colours, or on a Sign-pod ; and the painted Windows of Cante7'bury Cathedral were fold, as 'tis faid, to the Spani/Ji AmbafTador. A very grand Altar-piece is now eredted in this Chapel. The new Building, which extends from New the Chapel to the South- ward, is 236 Feet in ^"ildi"gf Length, 46 in Breadth, and near 50 Feet high, built by Mr. Gibbs with Portland Stone, and contains three Floors above the Cellars ; the Apartments exceeding grand and commo- dious, the Rooms 13 Feet high.
