A third time I have the pleasure of thanking my numerous patrons for their extremely liberal favors ; but in doing so, must apologize to them for the late appearance of the present volume, which delay has been caused by the great anxiety I have, to render this work as perfect as possible. It was my original intention to publish the third volume of this work, next after the one for Worcester, the district contained in it being so intimately con- nected with that city; but when the information was all collected, and nearly ready for the press, a survey for an important line of Railway, between London and Portdynllaen, on the coast of North Wales, to form an imperial line of communication between the English and Irish metropolis, was commenced ; and a vigorous agitation was carried on, to bring before the public the strong, and peculiar claims, this line of communication has over any other. Seeing the vast importance of any Railway to the district through which it passes, I immediately deferred the printing of this volume, till the report of the Gov- IV PREFACE. eminent Commissioners was published ; and their deci- sion and reason for preferring another line to this, will be found at page 22. This vast design is, consequently, for the present abandoned, but will probably be again attempted; in the description of the various parishes through which the Railway would have passed, the line is alluded to, and its general features are sketched out in the twenty second page. From this cause the volume for Dudley has been printed and published before this, and will be bound up with it, for those subscribers who wish them to- gether ; or the three volumes now published may be had, bound in one strong calf binding, and the re- maining four in another, so as to include the whole work in two thick calf bound volumes. I cannot place this peculiarly interesting book in the hands of those Ladies and Gentlemen who have so kindly added their names to the now unprecedently large list of subscribers, without remarking, that diffi- culties of great magnitude have required subduing, and labor of no common kind performing, to collect the information it contains ; the mere fact of above 5,000 houses, scattered over 78 large parishes, having been visited (some of them 5 or 6 times before the infor- mation could be obtained in a satisfactory manner) is sufficient evidence of itself, to show this ; but the dis- appointments in meeting with those Gentlemen who alone could furnish the facts, introduced in the graphic sketches of each place, have very seriously increased the time and labor necessary in their collection ; and PREFACE. V to add to this, the country required to be again gone over before going to press, because of the changes which took place while the volume was delayed, from the railway agitation above noticed. But all these difficulties have been cheerfully sur- mounted, the volume is now complete, and the re- maining four of the series will be issued with much more rapidity than the three now published, as the most serious and difficult part of the labor is now finished. Should any inaccuracies, either in the His- tories, or Directories, be discovered, they will all be corrected in an appendix to the general History of the county, and given in the second of the two thick calf bound volumes, if communicated to my printers by post. The limits of a preface would not allow of an in- dividual acknowledgment to a tithe of those to whose kindness I am indebted for the facts included in this volume ; I must, therefore, content myself with saying, that to all, and each, I feel extremely grateful for their attention to my agents, who called upon them ; and hoping such use has been made of the information received, as will tend to increase, very much, the use- fulness of this valuable memorial of men and things, and at th,e same time place on record events and facts desirable to be remembered, and made matter of history. I remain, The Public's humble but devoted Servant, JOSEPH BENTLEY. CONTENTS PAGE.

HISTORY AND DIRECTORY OF EVESHAM, AND OF SHVENTY-EIGHT PARISHES, IN THE SOUTH FART OF WORCESTERSHIRE. Evesham, or as it is generally pronounced Easham, is an ancient, respectable, and delightfully situated parliamentary borough and market town, on the S.E. side of an elevated promontory formed by the Avon; and is 56 miles N.E, of Bristol, 69 nearly S of Derby, 112 S. of Manchester, and 40 S.W. of Warwick; for the distance of every town in the county, see the accom- panying Distance Table, and for other distances see Coach List. This town, situated in one of the most fertile vales in our "sea-girt isle," is of considerable antiquity, several historians appearing strongly of opinion, that the Romans had a station here, called Ad Antonam, though that sta- tion was more probably on Bredon Hill ; but its authen- tic history commences in 701, when a monastery was founded here by Egwin the Third bishop of Worcester, as its charter of foundation states, because of a visit by the Virgin to Eoves, one of the bishop's swine herds in this part of his domains ; on its completion in 714, it was dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and the bishop resigned his mitre at Rome, and became the first Abbot. Eighteen Abbots succeeded the founder, and faithfully retained all the possessions acquired by the blessed Egwin, du- ring a period of 200 years, when it suffered most severely at the hands of the ruthless Danes. From 941 to 960, 12 bentley's history of it was possessed by secular canons, and from the latter period till 1014, it suffered several vicissitudes ; but, then became possessed by the Benedictine order, who appear peacefully to have retained it till Doomsday Survey, about 1080, when the possessions of this monas- tery in land, were 21,862 acres, 8,850 of which were in this county ; and it had been dispossessed of abovel 1,000 acres by different spoilators. Towards the end of the eleventh, or early in the twelfth century, Abbot Walter erected a considerable part of a new Church, which was completed by subsequent abbots, and considerably surpassed the original monastery in extent and architectural ornament ; being about 300 feet from &. to W., and containing a choir, chapel of the Virgin, transept or great cross aisle, lateral aisles, chapter-house, cloisters, and bell tower ; the last with the door-way of the chapter house and a part of the grand gateway, being all that remain of this once magnificent structure. The monastery occupied the whole of this beautiful fer- tile peninsula ; being bounded on the E , S., and W., by the river, and on the N. by a strong lofty wall, which completely protected the brethren from intrusion, extend- ing to the river on both sides. Fifty -five abbots pre- sided over this sacred edifice, Egwin being the first, and Clement Lichfield, who died October 1546, was the last ; he voluntarily resigned his abbacy in 1539, and this magnificent establishment was suppressed the same year, by Henry VIII. It was valued at £2,076. lis. 4d. per annum, but undoubtedly far exceeded that sum, beingone of the richest, and last dissolved religious houses in England, and included 89 men in orders, and 65 servants. The sacred edifice, and the greater part of its possessions were granted for service and value received, to Sir Philip Hobby, in 1540, and 1544. The vast pile was let on lease as a stone quarry; which thus accounts for the principal part of the noble structure being removed, the materials being sold to erect other buildings. Whatever dwellings the ancient Britons or the Romans might have here, the actual origin of Evesham must date from the foundation of its monastery, and seems bug to have been confined to the necessities of the religious brethren, for in Doomsday-book, the whole population, EVESHAM. WORCESTERSHIRE. 13 including Bengeworth, does not appear to have amounted to above 100, and in 1096, the inhabitants of the abbey being 143, we may assume those of the town at an equal number. In 1636, Evesham ranked among the nine highest rated corporate boroughs in the kingdom, and paid £74. as " ship money ;" so that the destruction of the monasteiy does not seem to have diminished, but rather to have allowed of a considerable extension of the town ; and during the last two centuries it has continued to increase in extent, external appearance and internal arrangement and comfort, and in wealth and respecta- bility ; and is now second to none of its size in these respects, and excels most places in its beautiful site, fine prospects, fertile soil, and salubrious air. Evesham has fully borne its share of the horrors of war, a castle existed for some time in Bengeworth, but was destroyed by abbot De Anville, about 1150 ; one of the most memorable military slaughters in the annals of our country, throws into the shade all other matters of this kind connected with the town. " The Battle of Evesham" took place to the N. of the town, the conflict being most deadly in the low ground, called the Battle-well, near the Abbey Manor House; and the slain are by some writers, stated to be as high as 10,000. This ever me- morable carnage, took place on the afternoon of Wednes- day, August 4th, 1265, between Edward, afterwards Edward I. and the Earl of Leicester; who held Edward's father, Henry III., in bondage ; and who was completely routed, and with most of his noble followers slain, and King Henry released ; and the ambitious nobles under Leicester completely overthrown. Nothing remarkable of a war-like nature, occurred here till the conduct of Charles I. rendered the monarchy insupportable in England, and caused a civil war, end- ing in the establishment of a republic, which existed 9 years. During these changes effected by violence, Eves- ham, from its insular position, its rich soil furnishing plenty of supplies, and from its being on the road from Oxford to Worcester, the then two strong holds of royalty, was garrisoned by the King in 1642 ; deserted by him for a time in 1644, but re-garrisoned ; and was af- terwards taken by the parliamentary forces under Massey, B 14 BEXTLEY S HISTORY OF from Gloucester, in June 1645, after a most determined resistance, and retained by them to the end of the war ; since which time the history of Evesham is written, in the peaceful establishment of Institutions for subduing ignorance, ministering to the spiritual and temporal wants of its inhabitants, and in increasing their comfort, and the respectability of the Borough. Though not considered a manufacturing town, Evesham fabricates several articles both for its own use, and for exchange with neighbouring towns; particularly parch- ment, ribbons, and oil cake ; all which will be noticed under the proper heads subsequently ; but the town and district are, and long have been, most famed for the ex- cellency and profusion of their vegetable productions, both roots, fruit, and com ; most places within 30 or 40 miles, receiving their supply of vegetables and fruit either wholly or in part, from this town and neighbour- hood. See also Gardening, &c. The situation of the town is peculiarly eligible and pleasant, seated on a gentle eminence, nearly encircled by the winding Avon, amid shady orchards, fertile mea- dows, and highly cultivated gardens ; and is uninjured by the smoke incident to a large manufacturing town. From whatever point Evesham is entered, neatness, and order present to the eye an example of cleanliness sel- dom met with; and the solidity of the mansions, houses, and shops, the peaceful order, and genteel appearance of the inhabitants passing to and fro, are strong evidences of the respectability of the place. The town consists of four principal streets, with several smaller ones branching in different directions. High-el is by far the widest, and extends a considerable length from N. to S. ; nearly in a line with its southern extrem- ity is Vine-street, also spacious, and equally respectable; from the junction of these two streets, Bridge-street branches nearly E., and contains many respectable shops and mansions, but is narrower than the two streets before named ; it extends to the bridge, whence its name ; and on the other side of the bridge, is Port-street form- ing the main street of Bengeworth. and enlivened by a pur- ling stream running down each side of the road. The Mar- ie it-place, in the S.W. angle, formed by the junction of EVESHAM WORCESTERSHIRE. 15 Bridge and Vine-streets, is very spacious, well paved, and surrounded by substantial erections ; among which, the Guildhall stands conspicuous. The streets are kept very clean, and in good repair, and are well lighted with gas ; and the shops are furnished with every necessary and luxury, so that Evesham is equal to most places in these constituents of comfort and civilization; while its surpassing beauty, and healthful atmosphere, present strong attractions to visitants, who will find excellent society here, as the town and neighbourhood abound with respectable families, whose mansions are seen in various directions enlivening and adorning the land- scape. PLACES OF WORSHIP. All Saints Parish Church is a good stone edificej near the abbey tower, erected in the 13th century; and is noted as being the burial place of Abbot Lichfield, who enlarged this church and that of St. Lawrence, and erected the abbey tower ; the interior is spacious, and contains two aisles and a singing gallery, in which is a fine toned organ : the church contains 744 seats : the living is a discharged vicarage, in the gift of the Crown, and the Rev. John Marshall, M. A., is the present vicar. Service every Sunday morning at 11, and in the afternoon at 3 ; William Robins is clerk, and the Sun- day school is on Merstowe Green. St. Lawrence Parish Church is a stone edifice, erected also in the 13th century, on the S. side of Vine Street, in the same yard and standing near to All Saints and the abbey tower. This church till lately was in ruins, but in 1837 it was in some measure restored to its ancient magnificence, at an expense of upwards of £2,600, raised by subscription, and in April, 1840, a fine new organ was opened here. The living is a perpetual curacy, generally held with All Saints ; the Rev. John Marshall, M. A. is incumbent ; the Rev. Joseph Harling, M. A. curate, and Henry White is clerk ; there are 787 seats, of which 682 are free. Service com-" mences at 11 every Sunday morning, and half-past 6 in the evening ; and the Sunday school is taught in the church. 16 BENTLEY S HISTORY OF St. Peter's, or Bengeworth Parish Church is situated in Church Street, adjoining the upper part of Port Street, and is supposed to have been erected in the thirteenth century by the abbey of Evesham ; much of the materials employed in its erection were obtained from the demolished castle. The church is of rather irregular form, ornamented by a tower and spire ; in 1832 the church yard was enclosed with a substantial brick wall, at the expense of the parishioners ; and an organ and gallery were added at the W. end by subscription, at an expense of £202. In the southern aisle stands a splendid monument, to the memory of John Deacle, Esq., founder of the charity school, at Bengeworth. The living is a perpetual curacy; the patron is the Rev. Thomas Marsden, and the incumbent the Rev. John Shaw. The number of sittings is 451. The service commences at half-past 10 in the morning, and at 6 in the evening ; Charles Baylis is clerk ; and a Sunday school is taught in the church. Baptist Chapel, in Cowl Street, was erected in 1 788, at an expense of £540, and two lateral galleries were added, and a new vestry built, at an expense of £300, in 1832 ; it now contains seats for 450 people, 118 being free ; and there is a small organ ; the congre- gation elect their pastor ; the Rev. John Hockin is the present minister. Service every Sunday morning at half-past 10, a quarter before 3 in the afternoon, and 6 in the evening, and on Thursday evening at 7. A Sun- day school is taught in the vestry, and the chapel is licensed for the solemnization of marriages. A congre- gation existed here in 1704, and worshipped in a barn, at the top of Port Street; they erected a small chapel there in 1722, which was burnt down in 1753, and rebuilt in 1754, but has been taken down since Oat-street chapel was erected, though the burial ground is still used. A Baptist Chapel was also built in Mill-st., in 1789 and is a neat edifice, containing 320 sittings, the congre- gation elect their pastor, and the Rev. George Cole is the present minister ; service every Sunday morning at i past 10, afternoon at i past 2, and evening at 6, and a Sunday school is taught in the vestry. Friends Meeting House in Cowl-st., is the oldest EVESHAM. WORCESTERSHIRE. 17 dissenting chapel in the borough, having been appro- priated to its present purpose since 1676. The society was formed here by George Fox, in 1655, and, as in most other towns at that period, they suffered violent persecution from the " powers that be". The chapel is a very plain edifice, in a retired situation, approached by a court yard, and contains sittings for 140, service Sunday forenoon at 11, afternoon at 3, and on Thursdav forenoon at 10. Unitarian Chapel, sometimes called Presbyte- rian, situated in Cowl-st., is a stone edifice having a neat interior, containing 200 sittings ; a gallery was added in 1820, and other Improvements made amoun- ting to full £200, defrayed by the late Mr. Anthony New, and in 1829 the same gentleman presented an organ. The congregation elect their own pastor, their present minister is the Rev. Timothy Davis, service Sunday morning at \ past 10, and afternoon at \ past 2, and the Sunday school is near the chapel. Wesleyan Methodist Chapel in Chapel-st., is an appropriate brick structure, together with a dwelling house and garden for the minister, and a burial ground, it was erected in 1808, by a legacy of £400. bequeathed by Mrs. Guy, of Great Hampton, together with public subscriptions ; the present ministers are the Rev. Thomas Fletcher, and the Rev. George Hobill, appointed by the Wesleyan Conference. The number of seats are 250, 120 of which are free; service every Sunday morning at \ past 10, and at 6 in the evening, and there is a Sunday school in connection with the chapel. Abbey Tower, or Bell, begun by abbot Lich- field in 1533, remains a noble specimen of the architecture of that period, being in excellent preserva- tion. Various reasons are assigned, but no historical fact given, why, amid the general wreck of the abbey, the stones of this tower were not sold as well as the rest ; but so it is, and it remains in its prestine massive- ness, and just proportions, the admiration of all visitors. It is a square highly ornamented tower, 110 feet high ; consisting of three stories, surmounted with an embattled parapet, and carved pinnacles, and contains a musical set of bells and very pleasant chimes. 18 bentley's history of Agricultural Implements are made to great per- fection in Evesham, and form an important branch of business, as the husbandman can never perform his task well, unless aided by good instruments ; the manu- facturers here have been long noted for the excellency of their drills, ploughs, &c. Avon River is now of considerable advantage, being navigable from Stratford 18 or 1 9 miles higher on the river than Evesham ; and by this means, coal, and other heavy materials are obtained in the vale of Evesham, at a comparatively cheap rate, and agricultual produce sent in return. This, at that time important work, was com- menced in 1635, by W. Sandys, Esq., of Fladbury, who spent £20,000. in this laudable manner ; but being unable to complete it, he resigned the work to parlia- ment, and it was completed by W. Say, Esq., during the Commonwealth. The river was made navigable to Stratford about 1670, and from that town to the Severn, there are 14 locks ; 6 above, and 8 below Evesham. Banks. There are two of these highly valuable insti- tutions for commercial purposes, and one for the savings of the provident labourer, and small tradesman. The Savingshaiik was established so recently as May 27, 1839; on the 20th November, there were 90 depositors, who had invested £1,410, 14s. 2d.; in January of the present year, the number of depositors had increased to 1 23, and are now still rapidly increasing. The banks are open from 9 to 3 ; on market days till six. Bible Society; a branch was established in 1811, and has been very effectively conducted, having contri- buted above £5,000. to the parent society, and distribu- ted between 9 and 10,000 copies of the scriptures, in the town and neighbourhood. Bone Manure is manufactured here to a great ex- tent, having been commenced in 1831 ; it adds much to the fertility of the land when judiciously applied. Bridge. The bridge by which the town is entered from Bengeworth, on the S.E., is a very ancient struc- ture, and was known to exist here in the 12th century, it was broke down in 1644, and not restored till 1662. It consists of 8 irregular, very ancient looking arches, and the thoroughfare is scarcely wide enough for two car- EVESHAM. WORCESTERSHIRE. 19 riages. There was anciently another bridge, near two miles higher on the Avon, at the foot of Twyford-lane, but it is now entirely demolished. Charities for the relief of the poor in bread, clothing, &c, and for other benevolent purposes, are numerous in Evesham; and evince the generous disposition of its present and past inhabitants. Christian Knowledge Society. A district asso- ciation was established here in 1817, and has been the means of doing a considerable amount of good within the district, by distributing the society's tracts, &c. Corporation, established by charter, from James I., in 1603, to consist of 2 bailiffs, 12 aldermen, and 12 capital burgesses ; and by a second charter in 1605, of a mayor, 7 aldermen, 12 common councilmen, and 24 assistants ; but the town is now governed by a mayor, 4 aldermen, and 12 councillors, constituted a corporation by the general act for reforming all corporations in Eng- land and Wales, passed in 1835. Courts. The magistrates hold a petty sessions for the county, at the Police Office, High-street, on Monday, and at the Town-hall on Thursday, for the borough. The present Magistrates are the Mayor, J. New, Esq., and B. Workman, E. Rudge, J. M. G. Cheek, H. E. Strick- land, and W. Soley, Esqrs. Deacle's Free School Port-street, Bengeworth, was founded by John Deacle, Esq., in 1709, with £2,000. ; the school was not erected till 1736, when it cost £335. 9s.; and the original sum, with compound interest, in 1743, was £3,341. 15s. Id. The property now produces about £250. per annum. The number of scholars are 30, who are educated and clothed, and a certain proportion of them apprenticed. Fairs are held here for cattle, horses, &c. ; Feb. 2nd, the second Monday after Easter-day, Whit-Monday, the second Monday in August, Sep. 21st, and the 2nd, Monday in December ; and Statutes, or as they are here termed "Mops," for hiring servants, are held the Fri. before, and the Fri. after Old St. Michaelmas-day. Gardening is, and long has been the principal source of employment for labour and capital here ; having been first most likely introduced by the monastic brethren. 20 kkntlky's history of The soil is remarkably fertile, vegetables, roots, and fruit, are produced in great abundance ; even London, Bath, and other distant markets, being supplied with some of the choice articles ; and Birmingham, Cheltenham, Cov- entry, Dudley, Warwick, Worcester, &c, receive much of their supply from this neighbourhood. Nearly 500 acres are under garden culture, in All Saint's, St. Law- rence, and Bengeworth parishes, at rents in some instan- ces, df £10. per acre. Gas Works were erected here in 1836, at consider- able expense, by the proprietor, Mr. J. Gibbs ; on the right bank of the river, in a beautiful situation above the bridge, according to plans, and under the superintendence of Mr. Richardson of Dudley, and are on the most ap- proved principle ; adding much to the comfort and con- venience of the Inhabitants, the streets, many of the places of worship, and shops are now lighted by this useful vapour. Gloving or the sewing of kid gloves, is a mode of employment followed by many females here, the Wor- cester manufacturers attending once a week, or fortnight, put Hoi 'RTicuLTURAL Society, established in 1827, and called the "Vale of Evesham Horticultural Society, to encourage the cultivation of choice flowers, fruits and culinary vegetables." The exhibitions are six annually, held in the Town-hall between April and September, and the society is one of the most respectable and useful provincial Institutions of the kind, giving a great stim- ulus to excel in this useful art, both by the example of its members, and the valuable rewards given.

Infant School, erected by subscription, in 1831, at an expense of £680., forms a pleasing termination to Chapel-st., being in the pointed order of architecture, and having a play ground, and house for the mistress. [nns in Evesham, are extensive and respectable, affording ample and agreeable accommodation for either commercial men, or for occasional sojourners in this in- teresting and delightful locality. The Crown, and the White Heart, are on the S. W. side of Bridge-st., in the town, and the Northwick Anns is pleasantly situated, fronting the river on the London road from Worcester, EVESHAM. WORCESTERSHIRE. 2J several of the Taverns are of a respectable order, and the Farrier's Arms and King's Head, have many earners. Library and News-room founded in 1819, and now held in the Market place, in an appropriate edifice, erected by shareholders in 1824, at an expense of £480. The number of volumes in the library is above 2,000, and the rooms are open from 10 to 1, and from 3 to 6 o'clock. Lying-in Charity established here in 1807, is of great service in mitigating sufferings among mothers of necessitous families, at times when help is really needed. Markets have been held here time immemorial, Monday and Friday are the days appointed for holding the market under the charter, but the latter day is almost unobserved at present ; the market is held in the spacious area under the Town Hall, and the open Market-place. Mechanic's or Literary and Scientific Institu- tion, on the N. side of Vine-st., was foimded in 1837, has an excellent apparatus, and a well selected library. The receipts of the Institution for the year ending May, 1840, were £104. 3s. 2d., and during the year a great variety of important subjects had been illustrated to the members and friends of the Institution, by numerous talented Lecturers ; and this Institution does much good in affording cheap practical knowledge, to the inhabitants of the Town and Neighbourhood, in a popular manner. The library and reading room are open in the evenings, from 7 to 10 in summer, and 6 to 9 in winter. Members of Parliament were returned by Evesham to the first Parliament convoked, which included members from cities and towns, held in 1295 ; after which thne there is no evidence of any return being made from this borough, till the first charter of incorporation was granted, when two members were elected in 1604, and two representatives have been sent to the imperial legislature since that period. The number of electors is about 320 and in our alphabetical Directory of the borough, each elector's Name begins with an italic letter. The present Hon. Members are Lord Marcus Hill, and Mr. Rushout. Missionary Societies are established in connection with most of the places of worship in the borough. Nails are made in considerable quantities, and the horse-nails made here have lon^ been much esteemed 22 bentley's history of National School, Merstowe-green, erected in 1831 by subscription, and a gTant from the National school society. This school originated in a Sunday school, es- tablished in the Town-hall, in 1805, to which a day school was added in 1812, on Dr. Bell's system, some- time taught in the grammar school, it was united to the National Society in 1828. Oil Cake for fattening cattle, and Linseed Oil, are extensively produced here, the business having been commenced about 1704, the present mill was erected on an entire new principle in 1806. Parchment is made to great perfection in Evesham, and has long formed a peculiar and very useful branch of its manufactures. Police Office, High-st., and Police Station, Town-hall, the latter contains 3 secure cells for the tem- porary confinement of delinquents ; the police force for the borough consists of two officers and an inspector, it was established in 1836, and has been very effective, both in preventing crime, and detecting offenders. The Inspector's house is at the Town-hall. Prince Henry's Free Grammar School, founded by Abbot Lichfield, was discontinued at the dissolution of the Abbey, but re-endowed by the son of James I. The school was long unused for foundation purposes, but in 1829, it was nearly rebuilt, on the former site, in Merstowe-green. Railway. During the past spring, laudable and ener- getic efforts were made by the inhabitants of Evesham , Worcester, and other towns, to induce the Commissioners appointed by government to report on the best line of railway between London and the Welch Coast, for Dublin, to adopt a line, commencing from the Great Western at Dudcot, S. of Oxford, passing close on the N. side of Evesham (crossing the Avon both on the E. and W. side of the town), a little N. of Pershore, and on the S. side of the city of Worcester ; from thence to Tenbury, Ludlow, Newtown, Dolgelly, &c, to Portdvnliaen, on the N.W. coast of Caernarvonshire, N. Wales, the total distance being 208 miles. The Commissioner* made their report in April, 1840, stating their preference for the line '»}' railway through Chester, Bangor, and Holy- EVESHAM. WORCESTERSHIRE, 23 head ; because, there being already railways constructed to Chester, 85 miles of Railway to Holyhead, would com- plete the whole required line. The time estimated to complete a journey from London to Dublin by the Ches- ter route, is 17 hours 44 minutes, the time by the Eves- ham, Worcester, &c, (called the Imperial line) 14 hours and 47 minutes ; so that this route would have saved nearly 3 hours each journey. Registrar's Office, Port-street, John Wadams, registrar, T. Foster, High-street, Evesham, deputy regis- trar for the Evesham district ; and J. Tustin, sen. of Broadway, registrar, and J. Tustin, jun. deputy registrar of the Broadway district of this Union. Ribands have been woven here since 1822, and Silk-Throwing was introduced in 1792; but the latter is now discontinued. Ropes, Twine, and Sacking, are also made to a con- siderable extent in Bengeworth, and of good quality. Town, or Guildhall is an ancient substantial edi- fice on the N. side of the spacious Market-place, erected about 1570 ; it was much repaired, and an eastern wing added in 1833 and 4, the funds being liberally supplied by the members of the Corporation. On the first floor is the Hall, in which the Quarter Sessions for the Borough were held, and the Representatives are elected ; and open- ing from it is a second room, not quite so large as the first, in which the borough magistrates hold their weekly sessions, &c. Assemblies are also sometimes held here, when the gay and the light hearted, spend an evening joyfully together in rational recreation. This spacious civic edifice was lighted with gas in 1840, a new floor was laid in the great Hall, and other internal improve- ments made by subscription. The original Town-hall was near the bridge. Visiting Society, established here in 1809 ; it has been productive of much good in relieving the wants of the poor in winter, and is well supported ; Miss E. Home left £200. to this Society in 1829, and Miss H. Smith a like sum in 1 830. Woollen Cloth was formerly manufactured here to a great extent, as appears by Evesham sending a deputy to a council of trade in 1337, and by exclusive privileges 24 bentley's history of being granted to this town, with the city of Worcester, and three other places in England, in 1533, but the trade is long since extinct. Workhouse, erected for the Union in 1838, is situated about half a mile S.E. of the town, in the parish of Hampton, a little above the left bank of the Avon, and cost £5,775. The number of inmates are from 60 to 70, and it will contain 250. The Union includes the parishes of All Saints', (w) Badsey, (t) Bretforton, (t) Broad- way, (t) Church Lench, (w) Church Honeybourne, (t) Cleeve Prior, (t) Hampton, (w) Harvington (w) Littleton, North, (t) and South, (t) Norton, (w) Offen- ham, (t) Rouse Lench, (w) St. Lawrence's, (w) St. Peter's, (w) Sedgeberrow, (w) and Wickhamford, (t) in this county, besides several others in Gloucestershire ; the whole including an area of 43,050 acres, and 12,537 inhabitants. J. B. Saunders is clerk to the Board of Guar- dians, and John Tustin, of Broadway, is registrar for those of the above parishes marked thus, (t) and John Wadams, Port-street, Bengeworth, for those marked (w). The population of the borough in 1563, consisted of 377 families; in 1811, the number of inhabitants were 3,068; in 1821, 3,472 ; and in 1831, 3,976, of whom 1,855 were males, and 2,121 females. In 1840, the population would be 4,375, by the rate of increase dur- ing the last 40 vears. POST OFFICE, Bridge-street; C. Jarrett, Post- mistress.

This is one of the most ancient, and justly celebrated inland watering places in Great Britain, having often been honoured with the visits of royalty, and being always the residence of many of the nobility and gentry ; her pre- sent Majesty, when Princess, having resided here with her august mother for some time. The houses, or rather mansions and palaces, surrounded by extensive shrub- beries and pleasure grounds, and set off by the majestic Church and Abbey Gatewaj r , are ranged at the eastern foot of the Malvern-hills ; and from whatever point viewed the appearance is imposingly sublime; nature and art combining with each other, to make this a perfect retreat i 98 bentley's history of for the invalid ; whether the mind requires cheering by delightful and extensive prospects, or the body renovating with pure and invigorating air and water. Society here is of the first order, and during the summer the place is very full, often crowded. The temperature is about the same as London, in winter, and 3 deg. cooler in summer. The Church was the ancient Priory, founded in 1083, enlarged and improved in the end of the 15th century, and purchased by the inhabitants after the dissolution, for £200., but suffered to become a ruin. It was re- stored early in the present century to its former magnifi- cence, at an expense of above £1,000., raised principally by subscription; and is now one of the finest sacred structures in the county ; the nave has an early Norman appearance intermixed with Gothic ; the square embattled tower springs from the middle of the nave, to the height of 124 feet, and contains 6 bells. The interior is ex- tremely grand in appearance, the length being 171 feet, and breadth 63, and contains 1 ,000 seats, of which 280 are free ; in the gallery, on the W. stands the organ. The living is a vicarage in the gift of Edward Thomas Foley, Esq., M.P. ; the Rev. Henry Card, D.D., is incumbent, and the Rev. Edward Simms, M.A. is curate. Service commences every Sunday morning at 11, and afternoon at 3, in winter at 6 ; John Burston is clerk. The scholars in the National Schools of both Great and North Malvern attend the church. North Hill District Church, about to be erected in a chapelry formed from parts of Leigh and Mathon in this, and Col wall and Cradley in the adjoining county ; near £2,000 is already subscribed for erecting this desirable Chapel of Ease. Lady Huntingdon's Chapel, built in 1827, on the S. side of the village, is a neat edifice of brick ; and, together with the Sunday School, and residence for the minister, cost £2,600. The interior is very neat, has a gallery on the W. side, and contains 400 seats, of which 1 96 are free. The minister is appointed by the Trustees, and the present pastor is the Rev. John Wood ; service every Sunday morning at 1 1 and in the evening at 6 ; the Sunday School is under the chapel. Abbey Gateway on the W. side of the church, GREAT MALVERN. WORCESTERSHIRE. 99 is an ancient edifice in good preservation, and is neatly pannelled ; the architecture would indicate its erection to have taken place in the 15th century. Association for the prosecution of Felons, having for its object the protection of the property of its mem- bers, is established here, but from the introduction of the county police, will not be so necessary as formerly. Dispensary established in 1830, gives medical assist- ance to many poor persons ; and is supported by subscri- bers of one guinea per annum, and the interest on all donations, placed in the Worcester Saving's bank. Drives are numerous, and remarkably pleasant and varied, in and around Malvern ; and they are kept in good order, as well as the different highways in the neigh- bourhood, for which advantage the inhabitants are much indebted to C. Morris, Esq. of London. Inns and Hotels are of the first order, respectability, and convenience here, being three in number : the Royal Kent Coburg and Foley Arms, the Belle Vue, and the Crown ; each for the most part crowded with visitors of rank and fashion during the summer ; and the Abbey Boarding House, near the church, and Mount Pleasant, near the Crown, are much resorted to by those wishing more retired homes, during their stay in this delightful place. Library and Newsroom near the Royal Kent Co- burg and Foley Arms Hotel, is a handsome modern erection, the rooms are tastefully arranged, and spacious, and well supplied with books, periodicals, &c. Lodging Houses of the most respectable class, are numerous, and are let furnished or unfurnished, either in separate apartments or altogether, as may be desired by visitors ; they are mostly in a chaste, decorative style of architecture, situated in pleasant gardens, interspersed with shrubs and trees, and commanding beautiful and extensive landscape scenery. Newland, is a hamlet and chapelry forming the N. E. part of this parish, and connected with the rectory of Madresfield. National School, Great Malvern, at the N.E. or lower end of the Church-yard, was erected at the expense of the late Lady Lyttleton, in 1817. The N. Malvern L.cfC. . 100 bentley's history 01 National School was erected by subscription (Her R. H. the Duchess of Kent, and Prince Leopold, now King of the Belgians, being liberal donors) in 1830; but the school being too small, it was rebuilt in 1838, by C. Moms, Esq., the most liberal and judicious patron of this charming retreat. These schools are partly sup- ported by subscription. Races were commenced in 1839, on a course about a i of a mile E. of the Church, held in July. Tanks were erected on the E. side of the North Hill, for retaining at all times a sufficiency of water for the use of the inhabitants, in 1835 and 6 ; at the sole expense of C. Moms, Esq., of London, amounting to £380. Visiting Society established March 20th, 1840, for affordmg relief to the deserving poor of the parish, and doing away with indescriminate charity ; J. H. Markland, Esq., is Secretary. Walks on the hills, and in the vicinity of the village, are very pleasant, those on the hills are particularly so ; and though the ascent may be laborious, when at the top the task of climbing is well repaid by the splendid views every where presented to the eye ; the highest elevation is 1,444 feet, and though the hills may be mere sheep walks, they are clothed with verdure to their summits. The Worcestershire Beacon is 920 feet higher than the village. The ascent is very steep, and from the hard green turf being slippery, is difficult, except on the nice artificial paths, from 3 to 4 feet broad, cut on the hill side in a zig-zag direction. There are many donkeys kept by the humbler villagers, which can be hired for ladies or invalids, at from 6d. to Is. an hour, which walk to the summits by these winding roads. Wells are three in number ; the Chalybeate Well, situate on the E. side of the village is much recommend- ed as a tonic, and a pump room has been erected for the accommodation of visitors. The Hay Well is a very celebrated spring-, and of ancient origin, and is noted for its regular stream and temperature, being always about 50 degrees. St. Anns Well is on the W. side of the village, between Sugar-loaf -hill , and Worcester shin- Beacon., the spring is from a rock, and falls into a cu- riously carved stone receiver, in a room in St. Ann's cot- GREAT MALVERN.

For other distances, see Table, page 9. The town is in the parishes of Holy Cross and St. Andrews, consisting of a well-built respectable main street, about three-fourths of a mile long, the northern part being called High, and the southern part Bridge street, both begin at Broad-street, which is a fine spacious area ; besides these streets, there are several others branch- ing off in different directions. This town sent members to Parliament in the reign of Edward I., 1295, and is now very respectable; the foot way on each side of the main street being well flagged, and the streets being wide and kept in good repair, it is veiy clean and neat ; most of the houses in the principal streets having been rebuilt, this ancient town has a modern, substantial appearance ; some of the mansions, houses, and shops, are very exten- sive and handsome ; most of them have their windows pro- jecting out from the front, so as to command a full view of the whole length of the street. PERSHORE. WORCESTERSHIRE. 115 Situated in the beautiful vale of Evesham, on the fer- tile banks of the Avon, surrounded by orchards and gar- dens, this town possesses important local advantages; and being on a navigable river, an excellent and much travelled road, and within about 3 miles of the Birming- ham and Gloucester Railway, it enjoys peculiar facilities for communicating with all parts of the kingdom. The business is principally of a local nature notwithstanding all these advantages, being little beyond the transmission of the raw products of the rich soil, consisting of wool, fruit, corn, vegetables, &c. ; and receiving from distant parts necessary articles in return. The line of the intended Imperial Railway passed a little N. of the town, see page 22. Pershore or as it was anciently written Persore and Pear- shore, originated likeEvesham,in the foundation ofa monas- tery, which some ascribe to Ethelbert, King of Mercia, in 689; but Leland says Egelward, Duke of Dorset, was its founder. In 984, it became an Abbey, of the Ben- edictine order, was very extensive and wealthy, and re- mained till the dissolution. The town appears to have suffered much from the destruction of the monastery, and not to have recovered fully, till the middle of the last century ; since which time it has greatly improved and extended itself, and from its numerous local advan- tages, will most likely continue long to do so. Of late years, many of the houses have been either wholly or partially rebuilt, and many new ones added ; and the inhabitants have subscribed nearly £3,000., to defray the expense of removing 6 houses that blocked up the E. end of Broad street, this judicious improvement was effected in 1836 and 7. PLACES OF WORSHIP. Holt Cross Parish Church once formed part of the stately abbey, and is said to have been 2-50 feet long, and 120 broad, and fouuded in 1239; the only parts now remaining, are the noble massive square tower, the south- ern part of the cross, and one of the chapels. The church was considerably repaired in 1774, a new organ and gallery was added in 1828, some improvements have lately been effected, and the interior is very lofty and elegant.

I submit this most useful, and in many respects novel, Hand-book to an approving public, with feel- ings of unmixed pleasure ; its compilation having been made a delightful, instead of a laborious task, by the almost unexceptionably kind manner in which I, and my various agents have been received, in the pro- secution of our numerous and very particular enquiries. Wherever facts could be obtained, whether historical or personal, no labour has been spared, or second- ary evidence received; and I wish the municipal authorities, the magistracy, the clergy, the professional gentlemen, the merchants, manufacturers, and inhab- itants generally, (for we have had to visit almost every one) to receive this public testimony to their kindness and urbanity, as a grateful but just tribute from their humble servant. As a return for this kindness, I have endeavoured with considerable success, to make this book worthy of the people for whose use it is made, and have no hesitation in saying, that the more it is compared with other works of a similar kind, the more my numerous patrons will feel satisfied their kindness has not been thrown away. My ambition will be, to con- tinue thus to appreciate, and merit general favour; and to get up the six remaining volumes of this ^ IV. PREFACE. work equally in every respect to this, the first in order of publication, but the sixth in alphabetical arrangement. In a book containing so many thou- sand facts, it would be presumptions to suppose every one of them strictly correct, but I hope, and have every reason to believe, errors to be as few and as far between, as in any work of this kind, nevertheless " to err is human." One of the principal, and distinguishing features of this work, is the plan of issuing each town, and its neighbourhood, in successive volumes, in such a manner, that while each is complete in itself, they shall all form appropriate and corresponding links, in the same uniform series ; so that any one may obtain an history and directory of their own locality, at a trifling expense ; and if so inclined, also an interesting topography of their own county, by ordering the remainder of the volumes to be delivered periodically, as they are completed. By this arrangement, the infor- mation is put into the hands of the public at the earliest possible moment after it is taken, instead of being kept 6, 9, or 12 months, till the whole is completed, as is the case with all works of this kind ever attempted before ; which works must unavoid- ably be incorrect when they are published, if they were compiled correctly, because of deaths, remo- vals, &c. I might now take my respectful leave of the public, till my next volume is issued, was it not for an enquiry sometimes made, and which may again be PREFACE. V. repeated, why I, as a stranger unconnected with this county, should select it, in preference to any other of the thirty -nine English counties. I cannot give an answer to that question without explaining at some length, my views and motives, things that would perhaps come better from others ; but as the British public is concerned in these things, and as my business is arrived at that stage when publicity is desirable, I now answer that enquiry, though doing so here may appear more historical than prefaratory. It has always been a truism with me, that poverty and crime exist among any people, in proportion to their want of religious, moral, scientific, and indus- trial information ; but so little is positively known on this subject, and so few fair opportunities are available for proving this fact, so clearly as to pro- duce conviction on many minds, that great difficul- ties oppose the progress of public opinion on this subject. To do all in my power to remove these difficulties, I commenced the compilation of educa- tional statistics in 1832, for Manchester. In 1833, I extended my enquiries to the whole of England and Wales, and in 1838, published a tabular view of the proportion of schools, booksellers, mechanic Institutions, &c, and of criminals in each county, and in N. and S. Wales; which table clearly proves, from facts which cannot be disputed, that education is the most effectual preventative of crime. This table would have cost at least £1,000. in its compilation, if prosecuted as an independent en- quiry ; but being, during the whole of that time, engaged in compiling the National Commercial Direc- tory, for the eminent firm of Pigot and Co., I was enabled to collect the facts along with our other information at a comparatively trifling expense ; though it took above five years to complete it. Since I commenced that work, various statistical societies have been formed for collecting information VI. PREFACE. on this subject; and the Manchester Statistical Society has done much in this good cause ; having compiled the educational statistics of Manchester, Salford, Liver- pool, Bolton, Bury, York, and the county of Rutland, at a very considerable expense; defrayed from their own funds, and those of the British Association. Reports for all those places except the last, are now published; but they do not shew the state of crime, as well as education ; being chiefly intended to shew how deficient the means for good education are in all parts of England, to arouse public atten- tion to the fact, and thus endeavour to remedy this fatal evil in our social arrangements. The British Government has also done much in this good cause, since I first commenced my labours ; returns have been made of the state of education of all criminals since 1834, but the answers to all their Educational enquiries having been made out by inter- ested parties, no reliance whatever can be placed on any Parliamentary documents, either as to the num- ber of Schools, scholars, or teachers ; as government possesses no means of getting this information cor- vectly, having been obliged to give up their intention of appointing school inspectors, during the session of 1839. Whether they will renew their attempt to I appoint school inspectors, or whether they will avail I themselves of the periodical taking of the census next year, to get an account of the number of schools, scholars, &c, will be seen when the time arrives. Being extremely desirous of extending my enqui- ries, on Educational and Criminal statistics, to the i subjects included in my Prospectus, page 232, or of seeing some society take the matter up, whose character for accuracy, and diligent patient enquiry, would be a guarantee for the faithful execution of such an under- taking ; I submitted a plan for collecting all the edu- cational facts in four English counties, to the British ; Association, during its meeting in Birmingham last | August. The proposal was highly appreciated by the Section to which it was submitted, but the difficulty found in getting sufficient funds to carry on the statistical enquiries in such a small county as PREFACE. Vll. Rutland, made it utterly impossible for the Section to entertain a proposal for collecting the information in one, much less four, such large counties as those mentioned in my plan. At the same time I had the honor of a long inter- view with the talented advocate for general educa- tion, Mr. Wise, M.P., who pronounced a high eulogium on my project, and on the National good which might be effected thereby, if I could only get the means for collecting the information, and laying it before the world in a popular form ; but under present circumstances, he considered it very unlikely that government could do any thing in the matter. Disappointed in my hopes of assistance from others, but still ardently desirous of attaining my object, I naturally turned to examine my own stock of means for doing that which others considered too great to be attempted. When I reflected on the very extended patronage bestowed by the British public on all Geographical publications of merit, and that my Plane terrestial Globe and Geography cost only one fourth the price of any other work of the kind, being at the same time more portable and convenient. Having been long and successfully engaged in com- piling the National Directory, possessing much local and general knowledge of the country, and of the arrangements necessary to ensure accuracy in such works ; and reflecting on the great utility of local Directories and Histories when authentically compiled, I thought it not too sanguine an estimate when I supposed, that if neither government, nor any other public institution, would make arrangements for col- lecting the requisite statistical information, for operating successfully on public opinion in favour of general Education, these sources would provide the means. I was right, the public have purchased the first 1,000 copies of my Plane Globe and Geography in four months, and the citizens of Worcester have favoured me with 600 orders for this volume, which is nearly double the number I expected, and my Till. PREFACE. agents are equally as successful in all parts of the county they have yet visited. The friends of Educa- tion may now rest assured, that in two years the great religious and moral problem will be solved, and they will be able to judge for themselves, the exact extent to which Education diminishes crime in our country, by having the total amount of labour and money spent in these two departments of our social arrangements for two counties where crime is much above the average, (Worcester being one) and two where crime is much below the average, contrasted with each other; compiled by the same parties, on the same plan, entirely by personal enquiry ; and this will be done without par- liamentary, or any other aid than the patronage bestowed by the public on my humble efforts to serve the Educational and Commercial world. I have thus put the public in possession of the combination of facts, and reasons, why I have com- piled this volume, and my object in compiling the remaining volumes of this, and the three other series ; and I earnestly hope, the All-wise disposer of events will continue to bless me with health, and mental vigour, till this arduous task is achieved ; and enable me to produce such a mass of indisputable evidence, of the influence judicious training of the young has in diminishing crime and poverty, as to induce all parents who hear or see them, to make every sacri- fice in their power, to obtain a good education for their children ; to convince the wealthy, that in proportion as the Educational Institutions of our country (from the Sabbath school to the University) are well supported and conducted, we can dispense with the services of the constable, the policeman, and the gaoler; and make every one believe, that the property in no country can be secure, or its peace be long undisturbed, while many millions of the people of that country are ignorant, or almost ignorant, of the rights of property and indus- try, and of the blessings of peace. This volume, I humbly, hope, will be found to PREFACE. XI. contain abundant evidence of my zeal in the cause of commerce, and of the efficiency of my arrange- ments for ensuring a faithful delineation of useful facts; and for laying those facts before the world in such a respectable, and at the same time cheap form, as to meet the approval, and suit the means of all classes. For the very nattering testimony of public favour, which thus enables me to urge on the tide of pro- gressive civilization, I here tender to my numerous patrons, individually and collectively, the most sincere, and hearty thanks of Their devoted servant, JOSEPH BENTLEY.

Worcester is a very ancient,but handsome opulent and substantially built city, borough, county town, county of itself, and bishop's see ; principally on the left bank of the Severn, and 3i miles W. of the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway ; 65 miles N.N.E. of Bristol, 65 S.W. of Derby, 29 N. of Gloucester, 126 S.W. of Liverpool, 35 W. of Warwick, and 1 1 1 N.W. of London ; the dis- tance to every town in the county, and to Birmingham, Cheltenham, and Hereford, will be found in the general Table No. 1. 3. Situated in an extensive, very fertile, and gently un- dulated plain, on the margin of a deep rapid navigable river, the advantageous site of this city was discerned and selected by the ancient Britons, adopted by the Roman and other invaders of our sea-girt isle, as favourably placed for security, and for readily obtaining the raw products of the earth, and the fruits of the chase, which then formed the chief wealth of mankind. 4. In more modern times, it became a place of religious celebrity, and being a key to the passage into Wales, was often the seat of war; but now, from its solid, modern, and highly architectural buildings, well arranged streets, and splendid squares, it is become one of the most respectable, and from its favourable position for trade and commerce, one of the most busy cities in the empire, and, from the taste and enterprise of its inhabitants, one of our most successful manufacturing towns ; and few people patron- ize the fine arts, the useful and the ornamental sciences, or encourage every thing that tends to make us better, wiser, or more holy, so much as the citizens of Worcester. 5. As this city equals most, and excels many places in these constituents of civilization, I now propose that it shall equal, or excel other places, in having a necessary B 14 bentley's history of and most useful hand-book for its inhabitants, or their visitors ; whereby all places and persons likely to be en- quired for, may be most readily found, by which means much valuable time may be saved, and convenience afforded to all, at an expense suitable to the means of all. Such a companion is the more required just now, because of the vastly increased intercourse of minds, with each other, con- sequent on the adoption of the Penny postage, and the increased facility for travelling by Railway, Steam-boat, &c. I propose issuing a volume of this kind every six or seven weeks, till the whole county is completed, which will form a useful addition to the library of seven elegant volumes, published on such terms as to be within the reach of the most humble. 6. That the ancient Britons had dwellings here appears evident from many of their remains, the most lately dis- coverd are, a stone celt found in Grimley, opposite the Isle of Bevere a little above Worcester, in 1835 ; a bronze metal celt found in the said Isle in 1809, and a Torgue, or ornamental collar worn by the ancient British Chiefs, found on the left bank of the river in Perdiswell. It has long been a matter of controversy among antiquarians, whether the Romans had actually a station in the city, but this is now placed beyond doubt, principally through the zealous and judicious labours of Jabez Allies, Esquire, of Worcester ; to whom the world is chiefly indebted, for the facts here given on this subject, as detailed in an excellent paper read by him to the Worcestershire Natural History Society, November, 20th, 1839. 7. On the left bank of the Severn, at a place called Cinder point, is abed of scoria and iron clinkers, which ex- tends some distance under the Pitchcroft, and as far under the city as Broad-street, and is considered the refuse of a Roman foot blast for smelting iron. In digging the foun- dation of the house, now in the centre of Brittania-sqmue, in 1829, the foundation of what is supposed to have been a Roman circular tower, or fort of sandstone was found, about SO feet in circumference ; and in the rubbish, were found nearly 100 Roman coins, many of them much de- cayed, principally of Cons tan tius, and Constantine the Great ; also of Decentius, Claudius Gothicus, Magnentius, &c, which are now in the collection of the Worcester- WORCESTER. WORCESTERSHIRE. 15 shire Natural History Society, being presented by H. B. Tymbs, Esquire. A vast mound of earth, the keep of the ancient Norman castle, on the S. side of the Cathedral, has been entirely removed, and in 1833, an urn or jug of red earth with a handle, was found near its base, contain- ing coins of Vespasian, Caligula, Nero, Tiberius, Adrian, Antonius Pius, &c. In June 1797, a very perfect coin of Nero was found, about 10 feet below the surface when digging to make a drain in Broad -street, which is now in the possession of Mrs. Spriggs. 8. These facts, and many others which might be given, tend to prove that one of the forts, said by Tacitus to have been built by the Propraetor, Ostorius Scapula, on the Avon and the Severn, must have been where the city now stands. John Ross, an antiquarian writer in the reign of Edward the IV., also states, on the faith of an old British Chronicle, that Worcester was founded (per- haps rebuilt) by Constantius Caesar, in 305. 9. The Saxons long occupied the city, the Cathedral appears to have been founded by them in 680, and dedi- cated to St. Peter, and another and more splendid one dedicated to the Virgin Mary was completed during the reign of Etheldred II. in 983, in the old church-yard. In pulling down the ancient Church of St. Clements in 1824, a Saxon gold coin was found by one of the work- men, it is now in the possession of T. H. Spurrier, Esq., of Edgbaston, who gave £10. for it ; but the antiquarian world is chiefly indebted to J. Allies, Esquire, for the evi- dence which proves its genuineness ; and which goes to disprove all that has been written about the * Saxons liav- ing no gold coin, this appearing to be the only one ever found. It weighs 54i grains, is very perfect, considering it was struck in the reign of Edward the Confessor, it bears his profile, and Edpherd Rex, and on the reverse Lyfinc on PARING ; which means it was struck by Lyfinc in Warwick, the letters are all Saxon. 10. Few places have known more of the mis-" fortunes of war." In 1041, Canute II, the last Danish King of Eng- land, ordered all the inhabitants to be slain, and their city destroyed, because they refused to pay Danegelt or tribute. The people saved themselves by taking refuge on the island of Bevere, in the Severn, but the latter part of the 16 bentley's history of Decree was executed. The city was soon rebuilt (for in those days a house in England was little better than an Esquimaux wigwam of the present day) and flourished under the Normans, but was burnt down in 1113, and again in 1133. In the contest between King Stephen, and the Empress Maud who supported the claims of her son Henry, afterwards Henry II., this city was pillaged and burnt in 1139 by the troops of the Empress, and in 1 149 it suffered the same fate at the hands of Stephen's troops. Henry was afterwards crowned in the Cathedral in 1157, three years after he ascended the throne, having been crowned twice before elsewhere. 1 1 . The rebellious Barons under the Earl of Derby, took and plundered the city, and killed many of the inhabi- tants in 1263, and in 1265, Edward son of Henry III. here raised the standard and succeeded in liberating his captive father at the celebrated battle of Evesham, which will be more fully noticed in our description of that ancient borough . Th e said E dward, when afterwards E dward III. held a Parliament here, and he often visited this city in gratitude for the attachment shewn him by the citizens. 12. From 1340 to 1360, Worcester suffered much from pestilence, and in 1401 the army under Owen Glendwr committed dreadful ravages here. Hollinshed says Henry VI. came here after the battle of Blore-heath, and though Stow asserts it was Gloucester, yet it is evident the citizens of Worcester must, either by protecting or some way favouring Henry VI., have offended his successor Henry VII., for several of them were beheaded at the High Cross, and 500 marks were paid for the redemption of the city, by the rest of the citizens. 13. Queen Elizabeth visited the city in 1574 and was suitably received by the people. A fatal pestilence carried away 1551 of the inhabitants, during six months of the year 1637, and before the city was recovered from this severe visitation, it became the theatre of war between Charles I. and his Parliament ; a fierce battle took place here between the contending parties (both claiming the victory) in 1641, the city was beseiged the same year, and again in 1646. 14. On the 22nd August, 1651, Charles, afterwards Charles II. entered Worcester with 10,000 Scotch and WORCESTER. - WORCESTERSHIRE. 17 *2,000 English and after various efforts, was totally defeated on the 3rd of September, and narrowly escaped the fate which befel Charles I. two years before. The bloody conflict took place at Perry -wood and Red-hill, and the victorious party afterwards committed fatal excesses in the city. The following letter, written by Oliver Cromwell, who com- manded the Parliamentary forces at this memorable battle, and who was proclaimed Protector of the Commonwealth, or Republic two years afterwards, will shew a little of the conflict, and of the state of our language at that time, and much of the writer's style of writing. lo. "A Letter from the Lord Generall,for the Honour- able William Lenthall, Esquire, Speaker of the Parliament. " Sir, — Being so weary, and scarce able to write, yet I thought it my duty to let you know thus much. That upon this day, being the third of September, (remarkable for a mercy vouchsafed to your forces on this day twelve- month in Scotland) we built a bridge over Severn, between it and Thame, about half a mile from Worcester, and another over Thame within pistol shot of the other bridge. Lieut, generall Fleetwood, and Major generall Deane, marched from Upton on the south-west side of the Sev- ern, up to Powick, a town which was a passe the enemy kept. We past over some horse and foot, and were in conjunction with the lieutenant-generall's forces. We beat the enemy from hedge to hedge, till we beat them into Worcester. The enemy then drew all his forces on the other side of the town, all but what he lost, and made a very considerable fight with us for three hours space ; but in the end we beate them totally, and pursued him to his royal fort, which we tooke, and indeed have beaten his whole army. 16. " When we tooke this fort, we turned his owne guns upon him. The enemy hath had a great losse, and cer- tainly is scattered and run severall wayes : we are in pursuite of him, and have laid forces in severall places, that we hope will gather him up. 17. " Indeed this hath been a very glorious mercy, and as stiffe a contest for four or five houres, as ever I have seen : both your old forces and those new raised, have behaved themselves with very great courage, and he that 18 bentley's history of made them come out, made them willing to fight for you. The Lord God Almighty frame our hearts to reall thank - fulnesse, for this which is alone his doing. I hope I shall within a day or two, give you a more perfect account ; in the mean time I hope you will pardon, Sir, your most humble servant, O. CROMWELL." " Near Worcester, 3 Sept. 1651, "10 at night." 18. This complete victory ruined the royal cause, es- tablished the Commonwealth or Republic, and terminated the scenes of blood and rapine to which this loyal city was so often subject ; and its future history will be found written in the establishment of new, or the enlarging of existing Institutions for Devotion, Education, Benevo- lence, or rational amusement ; in the creation of new, or the improvement of old facilities for Trade, Commerce, or Manufactures ; or in the widening, improving, and beau- tifying of its Streets, Squares, and Public buildings; every year adding something to the previously existing means of municipal and social comfort. 19. The ancient Britons had undoubtedly a Church here Ion*? before 680, in which vear it was made a Cathe- dral dedicated to St. Peter ; and its first bishop, Bosel, appointed by Ethelred, King of Mercia. The Minster Monastery or Convent of St. Mary's, was founded about 743, and in 983, Bishop Oswald completed a splendid Cathedral, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, in the church- yard of the old cathedral, furnished it with twenty-eight alters, and, by his supposed sanctity, drew away all the people from St. Peter's, which became neglected and fell to ruins. In 1041 this sacred edifice shared the fate of the city (Sec. 10) ; and in 1084 Bishop Wulstan laid the foundation of a new cathedral, on a large and splendid scale, which was completed in 1089 ; but which shared the fate of the city and castle in 1113 (Sec. 10), only the walls being left standing. After being repaired it was again burnt in April, 1202, and stood in ruins a consider- able time, when it was again repaired, and was conse- crated in the presence of Henry III. and many nobles, June 7, 1218,and dedicated to "'Mary the Holy Mother "WORCESTER. . WORCESTERSHIRE. 19 of God, the blessed apostle Peter, and the Saints Oswald and Wulstan." In 1224 Bishop Blois commenced the Nave, which formed a very considerable addition to the cathedral ; and in 1380 Bishop Wakefield made several useful and ornamental alterations, as well as several other subsequent prelates ; and the noble structure remains, a splendid specimen of light chaste Gothic, intermixed with Saxon and Norman architecture. Here the anti- quarian and the curious historian will find ample employ- ment, and the man of taste will find great difficulty in deciding which to admire most, the stately grandeur of its noble aisles, with their richly vaulted roofs, the mas- terly productions of the chisel which here adorn the sepulchres of the great and good, or the chastity of its exterior architecture. 20. The interior is divided into the Choir, the part now used for divine worship, which contains 420 seats (includ- ing the -50 stall put up in 1397) out of which number 156 are free. Our Lady's, Prince Arthur's, the Bishop's and the Dean's Chapels, the Great Cross Aisle, the Nave with its two aisles, the Chapter House and Library (founded in 1057, containing 8,000 volumes), the Audit Hall, College Hall and King's School, the Consistory Court, and the ancient Cloisters. All these, together with the ancient, the curious, and the splendid monuments they contain, are shown and partly described by the sextons, for which they receive fees from the visitors. Among the illustrious dead will be found here, Saints Oswald and Wulstan, King John, Prince Arthur, sixteen Bishops, and two Judges. Besides these, the Bishop's throne, the curiously carved stone pulpit, and the organ, are well deserving of notice. The crypt is a vault under the choir, appropriated for interment since 1817. 2 1 . The total length of this sacred edifice from E. to W. is 396 feet inside the walls, breadth of the nave and aisles 78 feet, length of the choir 124 feet, its height being 68, and the height of the nave 66 feet. The massive and majestic Tower, completed in 1374, rises from the centre of the great cross aisle to the height of 167 feet, each of its four corners being terminated hy a pinnacle of open work, and its sides are richly ornamented by curious mason work, and sculpture, it was finished in 1374 ; the upper paTts are enlivened by the presence of a few rooks. 20 bentley's history of Within the tower are eight bells, five bearing inscrip- tions, the first being "God save the King, 1640," and the eighth — " I, sweatly toaling, men doe call, To taste on meate that feads thesoule. — 1648." 22. Considerable renovations and alterations in the ex- terior of the cathedral have been effected during the last few years, and others are in course of execution. Among other things, the pinnacles, which were previously all like the two tall slender ones in front of the tower in the beautiful vignette furnished by our artist, being much decayed by time, have been replaced by the present ornamental ones. 23. This Bishopric once formed part of the see of Lichfield, from which it was separated in 679 ; it then included the present diocese of Bristol, and that of Gloucester as an archdeaconry, the latter was separated and constituted an independent bishopric in 1541, and the former in 1542. By an order in council, December 26, 1836, the archdeaconry of Coventry was added to this bishopric, and it now includes the whole of Warwickshire, nearly all Worcestershire, Brome and Clent in Stafford- shire, and Hales Owen in Shropshire, and contains 411 livings. 24.

The minister is ap- WORCESTER. WORCESTERSHIRE. 29 pointed by Conference ; the Rev. Frederick Calder is the present pastor ; service commences at half-past 10 every Sunday morning, and 6 in the evening ; also on Wednes- day evening at 7 ; and the number of sittings is 1 ,000; 224 being free. There appears to have been a congregation here, ever since their founder, Mr. Wesley, visited this city in 1765; their first chapel was built in New-street in 1772, and opened by that zealous and indefatigable divine. The Sunday School is at present taught under the chapel and in the vestry, but a new School is about to be erected iu Friar-street. The Wesleyan Methodists also opened a large Room for divine service at the Moors, between Britannia-square and the Race-ground, in 1838, which will seat about 200 ; service every Sunday afternoon at 3, in the evening at half-past 6 ; and on Tuesday evening at 7. The Sunday School is held in the same room. 47. Primitive Methodists' Chapel is in South- street, Blackhouse, opened in 1824, and capable of seating about 1 70. Service commences every Sunday morning at half-past 10, and at 6 in the evening. 48. A sect calling themselves Plymouth Brethren, meet every Sunday evening at 6, in the room formerly occupied by the Worcester Library, in Nicholas-street, but they have no minister. The room was opened by them in September, 1839, and will seat about 170. 49. A particular account of all the charity, and other public Schools, will be given in the seventh volume, with he other Schols in the county, so it is unnecessary to introduce them here ; the name of each school, with the name of the Teacher, &c, will be found in the alpha- betical Directory of Worcester, and in the classified part also. The following sketch of the Public Buildings, Institutions, Manufactories, Hospitals, Chari- ties, &c, will be found to contain much really useful in- formation, and to make it more ready for reference, each head is arranged in alphabetic order. 50. Agricultural Society, Worcestershire, estab- lished in 1838, for " the aid and advancement of Agricul- ture ; and for the encouragement of skill, industry, and good conduct among cottagers, servants, and labourers in Hus- bandry." Mr. John C. Nott is honorary secretary. It is a matter of astonishment, that this county should have so 30 bentley's history of lately established an Institution of this kind, and can only be accounted for on the principle, that it is naturally so fer- tile, that little effort is required to cause the earth to bring forth sufficient produce to supply the wants of the land- lord, the farmer, and the peasant. These kind of socie- ties have done more for land-owners, and land-tillers in Scotland, than could have been done by any Act of Par- liament, and wherever they have been firmly established, they have raised rents, profits, and wages. Mr. R. Moore Greenhill, Secretary, and Mr. John C. Nott, of Hallow, Honorary Secretary. This Society distributed about £50. in prizes, &c, this year. The East Lothian Agricultural Society, distributes annually about £300., and its meetings are distinguished by the production of original papers, and discussions on draining, general husbandry, and the whole science of Agriculture. That country contains only 290 square miles, 38,291 inhabit- ants, and was valued at £251,126. per annum in 1815 ; while this country was valued at £820,02 1 ; the popu- lation is now 235,363, and its area is 729 square miles. A society was established here in 1816, but became extinct ; this Institution, capable of doing so much good, will be more fully described, and its objects de- veloped, in our seventh volume. 51. Angling Society, established 1838, for pro- tecting the streams from poaching, and awarding prizes for successful fishing, essays on the piscatorial art, &c. Mr. H. George is Secretary. 52. Anti-slavery Society, established September 29, 1825, but on the happy extinction of personal slavery on the first of August, 1838, it was no longer necessary ; and on the 26th of July, 1839, this society was merged in a Society for the universal abolition of Sla- very and the Slave-trade, at a public meeting held for that purpose, of which Society, Samuel Darke is Se- cretary. 53. Athen.eum, founded in January, 1829, on the model of our Mechanics' Institutions, happily now so general throughout Great Britain, where our working classes may acquire an education equally as useful as that furnished at our Colleges 100 years ago; instead cf spend- ing their evenings in useless frivolity, or what is worse, ( WORCESTER. WORCESTERSHIRE. 31 dissipation. The subscription here, is 3s. per quarter, honorary members 5s., and donors, of £ 10., honorary life- members. Member's Tickets are transferable, and those of honorary members, admit two to the Lectures ; the number of subscribers is about 220 ; the library contains 2,000 volumes, and there are evening classes for mutual instruction, music, french, mathematics, &c. ; and the laboratory contains excellent Pneumatic, Mechanical, Chemical, and other apparatus; the building was erected in 1834, by W. Laslett Esq., and is behind the Museum of the Natural History Society, in Foregate-street, being approached through Athenaeum-court. The building contains a Lecture-room 40 feet by 28, lighted from above, sometimes used by the Society of Arts for exhi- bitions of Paintings, also the reading aud class room, library, and rooms for the librarian, C. Mence. The lecture season is from September to May. 54. Banks. Of these useful monetary institutions, Worcester has the good fortune to possess five, four of them being for the mercantile part of the commu- nity, one for the humble but careful thrifty artizan. Worcester Old Bank, was established in 1761, and is situated in High-street, near the top of Broad-street. Worcester Bank was established in 1798, and is situated at the Cross, nearly opposite the top of Broad- street. The National Provincial Bank of Eng- land, established a branch here in 1835, situated near the top of Broad-street, on the S. side. The Hereford- shire Banking Company established a branch in Fore- gate-street, opposite the Star and Garter Hotel, in Feb- ruary, 1837 ; they are open from 10 to 3, and on Satur- day, till 6. The Savings Bank, was established June 29, 1818, in a temporary office, in Foregate-street ; it is now on the S. side of Nicholas-street, about midway between the Cross and Lowesmoor. The number of depositors, the amount of deposits, &c, on the 20th of November, 1839, will be found in our list of Bankers in the Directory, the accounts not being all audited till the middle of December. This bank is open for re- ceiving and paying deposits every Monday, from 10 to 2, and probably prevents more want than the house of Industry. See also the list of Bankers in the Directory. 32 bentley's history of 55. Baths, vapour and sulphur, are situated in Henwick Road, St. John's, but it is matter of surprise such a vast population should he still destitute of public baths, where the healthful luxury of a tepid or cold water lavation might be enjoyed, at a cheap rate, on all occasions. 56. Berkeley's Hospital, is situated in the Fore- gate, opposite the Hop-market, and was founded by Rob- ert Berkeley, Esq., in 1694, who left £6,000. for its erec- tion and endowment. It now supports 14 poor men, and one woman, (not eligible till 60 years of age) each re- ceiving from four to five shillings per Aveek, and the Chap- lain and Steward £40. a year. On entering through the gate from Foregate, the hospital forms an oblong range of low brick buildings with the chapel (see 26) at the W. end, and bears the appearance of neatness, comfort, and seclusion. 57. Bible Society, (Auxiliary) established in 1813; its annual meetings are held in the Town-hall. De- positary is at Mr. Daniell's, 63, High-street, and the amount of subscription is £509. lis. 5id. for 1839. 58. Bridge, at the bottom of Bridge St., is a strong du- rable stone structure of five arches, 270 feet in length, the span of the middle arch being 41 feet. This bridge was opened in 1780 ; Mr. Gwynn was the Architect, and it cost £30,000 ; principally repayed by tolls on all pas- sengers, carriages, &c. ; the debt being reduced to £5,000., the toll on foot-passengers ceased on July 2nd, 1809, and the whole sum being liquidated, the bridge became entirely free on January 1 st, 1 828. The carriage way is 17 feet wide, with a flagged footpath on each side, four feet broad ; the battlements are highly ornamental, and its appearance from the bottom of Broad-street, ter- minated on the opposite bank by two round gate-houses, and having the respectable suburbs of St. Clement's and St. John's as a back-ground, is very good. H. C. Boulton, and J. Walsh, Esqrs., who were Members of Parliament for the city, contributed £3,000. towards the funds for this noble structure. The vast increase of traf- fic in our own times, makes a widening of the bridge de- sirable, and it is expected some means will be taken ere long, to effect such an improvement. The old bridge WORCESTER. WORCESTERSHIRE. 33 crossed the river, a little higher than the present one, almost in a line with Newport-street, but it was very nar- row and insecure, having been built in 1313. 59. Canal, Worcester and Birmingham, begun in 1791, and opened in 1815 ; it is about 30 miles in length, passes within a little more than a mile of Droitwich, and two miles of Bromsgrove ; at King's Norton the Bir- mingham and Stratford Canal branches off eastward, and about 2i miles nearer Birmingham, a branch passes westward to Dudley, Stourbridge, &c. At Birmingham it is connected with the inland navigation to all the great manufacturing towns in the N. of England, for which see list of Water Conveyance ; this canal opens a cheap communication between all those places and this city, and by means of the Severn, with most places of importance in the W. of England and in S. Wales, for which see list as before ; affording a cheap, safe, transit for raw produce and manufactured articles, to all parts of the kingdom, and has undoubtedly contributed much to the prosper- ity of this city. There are extensive wharfs and ware- houses at the basin, in Lowesmoor, and also at the basin in Diglis, near the Severn, all laid down on the accom- panying plan of the city and borough. 60. Chamber op Commerce, established on the 7th May, 1839, for protecting and promoting the Commer- cial, Trading, and Manufacturing interests of Worcester ; the Board of Directors meet the first Tuesday in each month ; the annual general meeting is the third Tues- day in July, and Mr. J. Tymbs is Secretary. It is a matter of surprise this city should have been so long with- out such an Institution, and this perhaps in some mea- sure, accounts for the little progress that has been made in improving the Navigation of the Severn, for this city being almost left out of the line of Railway communica- tions, &c, (see Railway.) 61. Christian Knowledge Society. A branch was established here in 1816, its depot is at No. 10, Fore- gate, near St. Nicholas' church ; since its establishment, it has distributed 667,430 books, tracts, &c, during the year ending Michaelmas 1839 5 it distributed 63,965, and its amount of subscription was £62 ; the Rev A. Wheeler, B.A., is secretary and treasurer. 34 BENTLEY'S HI8T0RY OF 62. City Commissioners, for the better supplying the city with Severn water, and lighting it with gas, and for draining, paving, widening, and otherwise improving the streets, hold their meetings in the G uildhall once a month, by adjournment. They have now nearly com- pleted a main sewer, extending from near the canal basin, in Lowesmoor, passing under George-street, the Blockhouse, Sidbury, &c, to the river at Diglis, at a depth of from 8 to 16 feet below the surface ; its length is 1,618 J yards, the cost is £2,700. Similar mains are intended to be made under High, Broad, and other principal streets of the city, which, till now, were des- titute of sewers, and these must add much to the com- fort and convenience of the citizens. 63. City Gaol is in Friar-street and Union-street, was commenced in 1822, and the prisoners were removed into it in July 1824, having cost the city £12,578. 12s. lid. It is built on the improved principle, has a tread- mill, is considered orderly, clean, and secure, and gener- ally contains about 30 persons, who have not yet learned that honesty, and propriety of conduct, is the best pol- icy. A particular account of this prison, and its prison- ers, will be given in the seventh volume. 64. Clothing and Carpet Manufactory. In the sixteenth century, this city was the seat of extensive woollen cloth manufactories ; Lelemd writing about 1-340, says, "The wealthe of the towne of Worcester standeth most by drapering ; and no towne of England at this pres- ent tyme maketh so many cloathes yearly as this towne doth." This trade is said at one time to have given employment to 14,000 or 15,000 persons, in and around the city; but, from variously stated causes, the produce of the Worcester loom was supplanted in the market by the produce of those in the W. of Eng- land, as the latter is now being superseded by that pro- duced in Yorkshire. A Carpet manufactory afterwards existed for some time, but was removed to Kidderminster. 65. Commandry, said to have been founded by bishop Wulstan, or St. Wulstan, is situated between the canal and Commandry-street, formerly Wyldes-lane, in Sid- bury ; and is a very ancient erection ; it was endowed with considerable possessions, and was a monastery and -WORCESTER. WORCESTERSHIRE. 35 hospital for the sick, seized by Henry the VIII., and sold to Thomas Wylde, clothier, of this city, in 1545, for £498. 66. Corporation. Worcester was made a free cor- porate town, by a charter granted in 1261, by Henry III., which divided it into seven wards, viz. All Saint's, St. Andrew's, St. Clement's, St Helen's, St. Martin's, St. Nicholas', and St. Peter's ; each ward under two con- stables, and the government of the town was placed in the hands of two bailiffs, chosen from 24 common coun- cil-men ; two aldermen, two chamberlains, with 48 assist- ants. On the 2nd of October, 1621, James I. constituted it a city and county of itself, governed by a Mayor, six aldermen, a sheriff, two chamberlains, 24 councillors, and 48 common council-men. This charter received several additions and alterations, and was finally substituted by the general Act for the reform of all corporations in Eng- land and Wales, passed in 1835; by which the city is now divided into five wards and is governed by a Mayor, 12 Aldermen, and 36 Councillors. 67. Thomas Chalk, Esq. is the present Mayor ; G. Allies, H. Chamberlain, W. Corles, E. Evans, R. Evans, J. Hall, C. Hastings, C. H. Hebb, J. Lilly, R. Pad- more, and J.

The principal courts held here are, the Assize, twice a year ; the commissions for the city are opened in the Guildhall, and then adjourned to the Shire Hall, where the county commissions are opened, and the Assizes commence. — The County General Quar- ter Sessions, also held four times a year, J. S. Pakington, Esq., M.P. is chairman. — City Quarter Sessions, held in the Guildhall before the Recorder, J. Buckle, Esq. — Court of Pleas, held in the same place every Monday, at 12 o'clock, before C. J.

This extensive receptacle for that unfortunate portion of society whose acquisitive- ness is stronger than their honesty, or whose combative- ness has not been sufficiently subdued by cultivating in respect to the rights of others, is situated in Salt-lane, which leads down from the end of Foregate-street to the Race-ground. It was built in 1809, cost £19,000., and contained 90 cells; the population of the county being then about 160,000. In 1839, the population being 235,000, (having increased nearly one-half) it was found that crime had also increased, so much as to render an addition to the gaol necessary, and 80 cells were added at an expense of £2,600., including other improvements ; and in 1840, other changes are to be effected, at an ex- pense of £2,400., all under the superintendance of Mr. Eginton, architect. During the Chartist agitation of the summer, 1839, this gaol was excessively crowded, hav- ing at one time not less than 220 prisoners confined in it ; this will be more particularly noticed in the second, or Dudley volume, that being the town most disturbed in the county, during that unsettled period. 70. Dispensary, established in 1822. It is situated at the bottom of Bank-street, and annually supplies the medical wants of many indigent poor persons, by a sum of money arising from subscriptions, donations, and legacies. The present Physicians are Drs. Hastings and Streeten ; Surgeons, Messrs. H. Davis, J. Greening, and W. Jones ; and the Dispensary is open from to daily, and from 9 to 10 every Monday and Thursday, for the purpose of vaccinating all applicants; but the humbler classes here do not appear fully to appreciate the value of this wonderful discovery of the immortal Jenner, as many of them carry visible signs of that once pestilen- tial disease, the small-pox. 71. Distilleries. Early in the last century the extensive premises at the corner of Turkey-street., partly fronting, and being on the W. side of the Severn, were commenced for the production of spirits, by the grand- father of the present proprietor, Mr. F. E.Williams-; on D 38 bentley's history of the opposite bank of the river in North Parade, is the large rectifying, and british wine manufacturing estab- lishment of Mr. J. Williams ; and in Foregate- street, opposite the Star and Garter, and in Factory Walk, Lowesmoor, are the extensive concerns of Messrs. Hill, Evans, and Williams, British Wine and Vinegar Manufacturers. 72. Dorcas Society, for providing articles of cloth- ing for the poor, was established in 1819, and the ladies of the committee hold monthly meetings at each others houses for promoting the object of the charity. During the last year, 369 individuals received benefit from the institution, at an expense of £63. Os. 5d. A second society of this kind has been lately established, called the Church Dorcas Society, having the same objects and system of management ; the two societies appear to strive which can do most good. 73. Female Asylum, founded in 1825, the present edifice was built in 1830, and is situated on a delightful eminence, called Merryman's-hill ; the chaplain is the Rev. John Davies, M.A. ; Drs. Hastings and Streeten are the present physicians, and Mr. H. W. Budd, is the sur- geon ; the number of inmates is 15 ; and the Secretary is Mrs. H. B. Tymbs. The house will contain twice its present number of inmates, if the funds would allow their admission. At a bazaar for the sale of clothing, held in the hall of the Natural History Society, on November 29th, 1H39, £48. 10d.5d. net cash was received, besides paying for the materials, &c. 74. Friendly Institution, Worcestershire, was established in 1826, for securing to its members sup- port in sickness, infancy, and old age, the payment of money on death, and effecting assurance of young per- sons, and annuities ; the present number of members is 430, divided into numerous classes, according to the circumstances of each. The society possess about £3,000. in the funds, which is rapidly increasing, as well as the number of members ; and no Institution is better calcu- lated, effectually to protect the humble classes from un- foreseen casualties, than this. Mr. Hollowav, Secretary, attends at the office, College-street, the first Monday in each month, for receiving the contributions, &c, and ■WORCESTER.

Hair-cloth Manufactory, situated on the right hand going down Copenhagen-street, is a new branch of business, very successfully conducted by Mr. E. Webb ; who produces some splendid and peculiar spe- cimens of hair-cloth, both flowered and striped ; the finest part of the cloth is woven with long hair from the heads of ladies, and is used both for waistcoat pieces, and for covering button moulds, &c. ; it gives employment to many families in the city. Fairs, see Markets and Fairs. 76. Gas Works, situated on the east side of the canal, at the top of Lowesmoor, were established by a Company in 1818, in 750 shares, at £20. each ; but this invisible fluid, which can be conveyed in all directions, and kindled into a brilliant flame at any moment, appears not to have been popular here at first; for the shareholders were nearly seven years, before they realized any dividend on their laudable investment. The affairs of the company are now prosperous, and well-managed, and this useful ele- ment is now used in most places of worship, all the streets, squares, &c, the principal shops, inns, and public build- ings, and in many private dwellings ; and the city pre- sents a very different appearance on a winter's evening now, to what it did 20 years ago ; the faint glimmering candle, and the dull flickering lamp, having now given place to the vivid jet of gas. Mr. W. Hill, is the manager of the works. 77. Glove Manufacturing, has been a considerable branch of business here, since the commencement of the sixteenth century ; the Glover's company having been incorporated by Henry the VIII. There are now many highly respectable houses engaged in the manufacture of this useful article, and in preparing the leather ; and though the trade is perhaps not so animated as at former periods, an immense quantity of goods are produced ; and a list of all the manufacturers will be found under the proper head, in our classification of Trades. The gloves are cut out in the warehouse, chiefly by punches, and then sent out in dozens to be sewed. 78. Goulding's Hospital, founded by Robert 40 bentley's history of Goulding, of the Tything, Worcester, (who died July 25, 1821,) in 1814, is for three poor men, and three poor women, to be, at least 55 years of age ; and one man and woman always to be preferred of the Tything. The houses are near St. Oswald's Hospital, and the in- mates receive six shillings per week, and fifteen shillings each quarter for coals, &c. 79. Guild, or Town-hall, situated near the middle, and on the W. side of High-street, is an elegant and substantial brick structure, especially when we reflect that it has stood 117 years, having been erected in 1721 — 2 and 3, at an expense of £3,727. 8s. 7£d., raised by subscription; £1,000. was afterwards expended by the corporation, in altering and completing the large ball- room, which is 1081 feet long, 26 feet broad, and 15 ft. 7 inches high; and was re-painted, and other repairs were made to this noble building, in 1839. This splen- did civic structure, contains an entrance-hall, the size of the ball room, the crown, and nisi prius courts, ma- gistrates, grand jury, committee, and other rooms ; which are ornamented with pictures of Queen Anne, George III., and several noblemen and commoners ; and in the entrance-hall are two brass cannon, one left by Charles, afterwards Charles the II., at the fatal battle of Worcester, and the other brought by British seamen, from near Toulon ; both bearing inscriptions, giving particulars of their presentation to the corporation ; and several suits of ancient armour. When viewed from the opposite side of the street, this building has an imposing appearance, receding from the front of the street 24 feet, having on the left hand of the door a statue of Charles I., on the right, one of Charles II. ; over the door is one of Queen Anne, above are the imperial arms of England, and Roman trophy's ; and the building is surmounted with four vases, and five colossial statues, representing Justice, Peace, Plenty, Chastisement, and Labour. Over the door-way, are the city arms, with the inscription, in latin, " May the faithful city ever flourish." 80. Hop Trade. This tender plant forms an impor- tant item in the trade of this city, 20, or 30,000 pockets being frequently sold here in a season, produced in this and the neighbouring county of Hereford ; about 1,800 WORCESTER. WORCESTERSHIRE. 41 acres are cultivated in the Worcester excise collection ; the duty is payable on the 15th of May, and the 15th of November : it was £4,853. 5s. lOd. in 1839, at two-pence per lb. The Hop-market forms an extensive quad- rangle, surrounded on two sides with offices, having ware- houses over them, and on the side next Sansom-street en- tirely with warehouses, and the weighing house ; and the last named street, contains many extensive warehouses ; the whole forming a busy scene on market days, especially during the season. The ranges of buildings forming the market, were originally built in the beginning of the last century, as a general workhouse for the poor, but were applied to the present purpose, on the erection of the 81. House of Industry, in 1793 and 4, on Tallow Hill, in a fine healthy situation, which cost £9,591. lis. Id. This noble building is the workhouse for the eight united parishes of All Saints', St. Alban's, St. Andrew's, St. Clement's, St. Helen's, St. Martin's, St. Nicholas', and St. Swithin's, and is under the management of 22 elected, and 9 ex-officio Guardians ; George Thompson is Governor, William Thomason is clerk, and registrar-general for the Union ; and the Rev. John Adlington, is Chaplain. The house will accom- modate 550 inmates, the present number is 195. 82. Horticultural Society, established in 1828 ; holds five annual meetings, usually in the Guild-hall, for the exhibition of flowers, fruit, and vegetables ; and award- ing prizes for the best specimens ; the times of meeting, are about the third week in April, May, June, July, and September; 330 subscribers patronized this laudable institution the present year. 83. Humane Society, established in 1786, under the name of the Severn Humane Society, and revived in 1819, and called the Worcesteshire Humane Society ; its object is to recover persons apparently dead, from drown- ing, or other causes ; and to reward those who are instru- mental in their recovery ; suitable apparatus is provided, and kept in readiness at various points on the river, and the canal, for aiding in such recovery. 84. Infirmary ; one of the most prominent and best supported Institutions in the borough, is situated on the S. side of Salt-lane, opposite the County Gaol, (see 69) and 42 bentley's history of overlooking the Race-ground. This Institution was origi- nally founded in 1774, and conducted in a large range of building, now occupied as a gentlemens' boarding school, on the E. side of Silver-street. This building being small, and the situation confined, the present edifice was completed in 1770, and cost £6,085. 9s. 9d., contri- buted by voluntary subscribers ; and the institution now possesses above £18,000. in funded property, its income the last year, was £2,451. 16s. 6d., and its expenditure, £2,445. 19s. 3d., having had under its care, 2,386 pa- tients during that year, and 103,034, since its foundation 95 years ago, Its treasurers, are Messrs. Berwick, and Co., bankers; physicians, Drs. J. Maiden, C. Hastings, and J. Nash ; surgeons, Messrs. J. P. Sheppard, M. Pierpoint, and H. Carden ; Chaplain, Rev, J. Adlington ; Secretary, Mr. J. H. Wheeler; House Surgeon and Apothecary, Mr. H. Cole; and Matron, Mrs. L. Pack- wood. The total number vaccinated during the last 95 years, is only 9,485. (see remarks sec. 70.) 85. Inglethorpe's Hospital is situated in Taylor's- lane between Foregate-street and Sansom-walk, and is supposed to have been founded about the end of the six- teenth century, by Richard Inglethorpe ; since which time additions have been made to it by Alderman Nash, and Charles Geary ; and it now includes 13 houses ; 9 of the inmates receive 3s. 6d. per week each, under Mr. Ingle- thorpe's bequeast ; 2 receive 5s. per week, and half a ton of coals, a pair of shoes, and 15s. per annum, under Nash's bequeast ; and two receive 3s. per week, and half a ton of coals yearly, from funds left by Mr. Geary. 86. Inns & Hotels are of the first order, respectability, and convenience, in Worcester, and they are commensur- ate with the commercial importance of the city ; the Hop- pole, and the Star and Garter, on the W. side of Fore- gate-street, near Foregate, and the Crown, Bell, and Uni- corn, in Broad-street, are equal to any on the road, (the three first and the last have coach -offices attached) all the other houses given in our list of Inns and Hotels, are of considerable extent, and several of those given under the head of Taverns, &c„ possess many comforts and advantages, for the commercial part of the community. WORCESTER. WORCESTERSHIRE. 43 87. Jarvis' Houses, situated at Warmstry Slip, near the Royal Porcelain Works, are for three poor freemen, and a poor freeman's widow, all above 50 years of age, who receive 5s. per week ; besides 4 out pensioners, who receive a like sum, but have no house. 88. Lace Manufacturing does not appear to pros- per very well here, though some very good articles are still produced. 89. Libraries. Worcester city, is the principal pub- lic library, instituted in 1790, and now containing above 9,000 volumes of general literature, and the sciences. The present building at the Sansom-walk, end of Pierpoint-street, is a handsome, and very appropriate structure, erected at an expense of £1,050, by share-hold- ers of £10. each, in 1831; and is ornamented in front with four fluted pilasters, supporting an entablature, and pediment. The library is in the upper story, is 30 feet square, lighted by a doom lantern, and is open from 1 1 to 4, except Thursday, when it closes at 3. The lower room is occupied by the Worcester News-room, sec. 99. Nearly opposite this Institution, and in the same street, is the Worcester city and county Library and Reading Institution, established in 1836, "for the propogation of sound literary, scientific, and political information." The present building was erected in 1839, by a company of shareholders in £1. shares; and contains a Lecture- hall 61 feet 4 inches by 30 feet wide, and 22i feet high, besides the library and news-room ; there are 12 life, 86 honorary, (at £1. Is. per annum) and 560 general Mem- bers, (at 4s. per annum) and the privileges of the Institu- tion include the library, (nearly 1000 volumes) news- room, and occasional lectures. — Athenaeum Library (sec. 53.) College Library, (sec. 20) Besides these, there are several other excellent libraries, the address, &c, of which will be found in the proper list. 90. Lying-in Charity, founded in 1806; managed by a committee of ladies, and supported by donations, and voluntary subscriptions, which are applied for the re- lief of poor women, who are unable to provide them- selves with necessary articles and comforts, under such perilous circumstances ; since its foundation, this society has afforded relief to 18,938 poor women. Miss M. A. Caswell, Pheasant-street, is storekeeper. 44 bentley's history of 91. Markets and Fairs The Market is opposite the Guildhall, and is approached from High-street, by a large square entrance, or by one of two smaller arched ones, which form a beautiful stone front, being surmounted by an ornamented and panelled square pediment, sup- ported by handsome Tuscan columns. The interior is conveniently arranged, and generally presents a very bustling appearance, and though it is 223 feet long, and proportionally wide, it appears rather too small for such a large wealthy city. At the further end from High- street are the Shambles ; and in a line with the Market- house, on the opposite side, is the Garden Market, covered over in 1838 ; these are open daily, but Wednes day, Friday, and Saturday, especially the last, are the market days. — The Corn Market is a large and nearly square area, at the termination of Mealcheapen, New, Silver, and Queen-streets ; and presents a very busy scene every Saturday afternoon ; but there is little pro- tection from the weather, which is very desirable in our wet climate. The average value of produce sold in this market weekly, is from £2,000 to £5,000, disposed of by sample. — Cattle Market, situated at the bottom of the Butts, was erected under an Act of Parliament, ob- tained in 1836, by the Corporation. It cost £8,700, raised on security of the tolls, and when that sum is re- paid the market will be toll-free. This market covers an area of very near four acres ; its form will best be seen by a reference to our plan of the borough. The Horse Market is nearest the river, with an extensive ride ; the Cattle Market is next, with covered stalls for fat cattle ; and then are two large areas, with iron-framed pens, one capable of containing 7,500 sheep, and the other 1,000 pigs; near the centre is the Market House, an octagonal building, well suited for the purpose ; and the whole was completed, and opened to the public, on the 8th of Sept. 1838, and is used both for the weekly Cattle Mar- ket on Saturdays, and for the following Fairs, viz. 3rd Monday in January ; 3rd Monday in February and March; 2d Monday in April; 1st Monday in May. June, and July ; 1 st Tuesday in August ; 19th September; the 1st Monday in November ; and the second Friday in December. Mr. I. Pemberton is Clerk to the Market. — An extensive business is done in the fruit season, at the WORCESTER. WORCESTERSHIRE. 45 Fruit Market, held on the Upper or North Quay, on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. — Hop Market, Sec. 80. 92. Members of Parliament. This was among the first boroughs that sent representatives to Parliament, having returned Richard de la Bar, and Walter de Cul- verton to the first Parliament ever held which included members from cities and towns ; this took place in 1295, and since 1693, Worcester has returned two members without interruption. At the last general election, in 1837, Col. Thomas Henry Hastings Davies, of Elmly Castle, and Joseph Bailey, Esq. of Glan Usk Park, Brecon, were returned without opposition, under the first writs issued by our present most gracious Queen ; George Richard Robinson, Esq. formerly returned with Mr. Bailey, having declined the contest, at the close of his speech on the nomination day, to the astonishment of all his friends. The number of electors is about 2,900, and in our alphabetic directory, each elector's name is known by its commencing with an italic capital letter. 93. Mendicity Society, established in 1831, since which it had afforded relief to 18,279 persons, on the 30th of January, 1839, of which number only 2,429 were able to write, many of them very imperfectly, and 3,138 able to read. The annual expense is about £150 ; the office is in Friar's Alley, Broad-street ; and the ob- ject of the society is to provide food and temporary shelter for the houseless and wandering poor, and thereby prevent all necessity for begging. Mr. Condie is the superintendent. 94. Moore's Hospital is situated on the E. side of Silver-street, and was founded about 1650, for ten poor boys, from four to 12 years old, of St. Martin's parish; the children are taught in Queen Elizabeth's School, near St. Swithin's Church, and live with the governor, at the hospital. In consequence of the per- version of the funds, there are at present only 6 boys, but as the leases of the property are about falling in, the full number will be placed on the foundation ; the boys wear a uniform dress of blue. 95. Music Meetings of the three choirs of Wor- 46 bentley's history of cester, Hereford, and Gloucester, originated here in 1720, and their first meeting was held in August, 1722, in the Cathedral. George III. attended the meeting held here in 1788 ; these festivals have been uniformly popular, conducted on the most magnificent plan, and held alternately here, at Hereford, and Gloucester. The last meeting took place in the Cathedral, in September, 1839, and was conducted on such a splendid scale, that the expenditure considerably exceeded the receipts. The sum taken at the doors, which is entirely devoted to charitable purposes, was £952. 3s. 6d. ; being the largest sum received at any meeting since 1833, when it was £1,008. This sum is divided equally between the three choirs ; the portion awarded to Worcester is placed at the disposal of stewards, and, along with other considerable subscriptions, distributed among the Widows and Orphans of Clergymen in the diocese of Worcester, amounting in the whole to above £800 in 1839. 96. Nash's Hospital, situated about the middle, and leading off on the E. side of New-street, was foun- ded in 1664, for eight poor men, and two women ; and in 1809 five more houses were added for five poor women ; and the allowance to each is 5s. per week, half a ton of coals, one pair of shoes, and 15s. in clothes every year. Two houses under this charity have also been erected near Inglethorpe's Hospital, Sec. 85 ; in 1828 three more were built in the Butts, near the Cattle Market; and six additional ones in 1835, at the same place. 97. Natural History Society, founded in 1833, for the diffusion of general knowledge, especially the professed objects of the institution. This noble edifice is situated on the W. side of Foregate-street, erected in 1835 & 6, and cost £5,000. The front is a fine specimen of modern architecture, both in design and execution ; and consists of a rustic basement, the entrance supported by two portal columns ; above are two stories, the three windows in each story ornamented by four beautiful Corinthian pilasters, supporting a corresponding entab- lature and pediment. On each side the door is an elegant shop, and in the entrance-hall is a stone stair- case, leading up to the Museum, which is the richest in WORCESTER. WORCESTERSHIRE. 47 the county ; also to the library, secretary, and anti- quarian rooms. The Lecture Hall is on the ground floor, 60 feet long, 30 wide, and 20 high ; the walls are decorated with pilasters, the ceiling is finished to corres- pond, and the room will seat about 500 persons. The Museum is the same size, is very rich in some de- partments, and is open daily from eleven till four ; and belongs to 25 proprietory members, paying £5 per an- num for 10 years. The number of members is about 350, paying I Guinea per annum, and upwards, whose privileges consist in viewing the museum, attending lec- tures, converzationes, the library, &c. Mr. G. Reece is Sub-Secretary and keeper of the Museum ; and J. Evans, Esq. is Hon. Secretary and Treasurer. 98. Newspapers. Few places are better supplied with these essentials of civilization in the kingdom, and Worcester was undoubtedly one of the first provincial cities that adopted this now universal vehicle for couvey- ing necessary and useful information. A printing press was established here so early as 1548, about 112 years after that divine art was first discovered by John Gotten- berg, at Mentz. Several volumes are still extant, which issued from this press between 1548 and 1553. About 1690 an occasional issue of a sheet of news appeared ; but in 1707 they became more frequent, and in June, 1709, regular, in the form of a small three-leaved folio, printed by Stephen Bryan, published every Friday, and called " The Worcester Postman." At present four papers issue from the Worcester press weekly. — Chronicle, was establishedby a Joint Stock Company, its first num- ber appeared the first Wednesday in January, 1838, and is published at two o'clock every Wednesday, at the of- fice, on the right hand side of Copenhagen-street, by Mr, I. Arrowsmith, for the proprietors ; and is a very liberal, spirited, and well conducted Journal. — Guardian, was first published on the 20th of December, 1835, and is now published every Friday evening about 8 o'clock, dated Saturday, at the office on the left hand of the Trinity, near the Cross, by Mr. G. Hyde, the proprietor, and is conducted on ultra tory principles. — Herald, es- tablished by Thomas Holl and Co., Saturday, January 4, 1794, is published every Friday evening, about eight 48 bentley's history of o'clock, dated Saturday, by the proprietors. Messrs. Chalk and Holl, at the office, 72, High-street ; and is a very well conducted, extensively patronized, and in po- litical matters neutral paper. Journal, the ori- ginal Worcester newspaper, was called the Worcester Postman till 1741, the Worcester Weekly Journal till 1748, the Worcester Journal till 1754, when it assumed its present title, Berrow's Worcester Journal ; and is now published at the office, Church-street, or at 53, High-street, every Wednesday evening, about eight o'clock, dated Thursday, by the proprietress, Mrs. A. Deighton ; it is consistently conducted on tory princi- ples, and is an extensively patronized medium of useful information. 99. News Rooms. The principal public News- rooms are the one situated in Pierpoint-street, in the same building as the Worcester Library ( See. 89) and belongs to Mrs. A. Deighton ; one belonging to Mr. T. Stratford, situated in neat well-lighted room, be- hind the shop, at No. 5, Cross ; and the one connected with the city and county library ; the two first are very well supplied with London and provincial papers ; have a numerous and respectable subscription list, and are open from 8 in the morning till 8 at night ; the last is open in the evening. (See. 90) 100. Police Office, situatedat theLowesmoor corner of Nicholas-street, was formerly at the City Gaol, but removed herein 1838 ; it contains many airy and secure cells, and a large guard or watch room, where there is an officer always in waiting to receive charges, &c. Con- nected with this necessary establishment there are 20 of- ficers, including the inspector and Serjeant ; they protect the lives and property of the inhabitants of the town both day and night ; and it speaks much for their vigi- lence, that there has been only one burglary completely effected in the city, during the last eight years ; and the perpetrators of that were discovered and punished. 101. Porcelain Manufactories. Worcester ex- cels all other places in the beauty, texture, and strength of its porcelain, and equals most other places in style and design. The first manufactory was begun by Dr. Wall, Mr. Davis, and other gentlemen in 1751, under the name WORCESTER. WORCESTERSHIRE. 49 of the " Worcester Porcelain Company ;" to whom is ascribed the merit of discovering the ingenious method of transferring any drawing from a copper-plate to the ware by means of tissue paper, now in general use in all manufac- tories of this kind, and lately applied to stain glass, by the ingenious Messrs. Cooper, of Edinburgh. The works were established in Palace-row, at the bottom of Fish-street, extending down to the river, occupying what was formerly the mansion and gardens of the second Lord Windsor, in the reign of Henry VII. and Henry VIII ; the house forms a quadrangle, with a court in the centre, and several rooms have retained the ancient oak wainscotings, carved armorial bearings, &c. of its former possessors, amid the bustle and activity that has reigned here during the last 88 years. In 1783 these works became the property, by purchase, of T. Flight, Esq., of Hackney, Middlesex; they were honoured with a visit by George III. and his Queen and daughters in 1788; and since that period they have been called the Royal Porcelain Works. They are now conducted by Messrs. Flight, Barr, and Barr, the proprietors, and still maintain the superior quality and style of their beautiful ware. The show-rooms are at 45, High-street, Worcester, and 1, Coventry-street, London. — In 1786 Messrs. Chamberlain established an extensive manufactory of porcelain in Diglis, behind St. Peter's Church ; their show-rooms are at 59, High-street, near the Cross, which were honoured with a visit by the Prince Regent, afterwards George IV. in 1808. This Company have a repository at 155, New Bond-street, London. — Messrs. Grainger and Company also estab- lished a third manufactory for this beautiful article, in 1807, it is situated in Factory Walk, Lowesmoor ; their show-rooms are in the Foregate, opposite the Hop Market ; and this branch of the Manufactures of Worcester still maintains its hold of public esteem, is continually extending its connection, and receiving additional patronage. The show-rooms are open daily, and cards of admission to any of the manufactories may be obtained at their several repositories. 102. Post Office, situated on the W. side of Foregate-street, opposite Pierpoint-street, was formerly a large dwelling house ; but it is doubtful whether it E 50 bentley's history of will be capacious enough for the vastly increased corres- pondence of this populous city, when the whole of it goes through this one channel, after the penny postage comes into full operation. For the despatch and arrival of letters see our Post Office Table, preceding the directory, in which will be found an alphabetical list of about 70 places, with the time when letters are des- patched to, and arrive here from those places, arranged on an entirely new principle. 103. Queen Elizabeth's Charity endowed by her for 29 poor women, who receive 12s. a month, and half a ton of coals, and 5s. every St. Thomas's Day; is situated in the Trinity, near the Water-works reservoir. 104. Races are held annually, in August and November, on the Race ground, situated on the E. bank of the river ; the first generally occupy three days, and are much frequented by fashionable company ; the second seldom extends above one day. The Grand stand is neat and commodious, situated on the bank of the river, but the course is much better situated for growing hay grass, being a level and extremely fertile meadow ; and in wet weather is very soft. 105. Railways. The Birmingham and Gloucester passes full 3| miles to the E. of the city ; which is thus, to a great extent deprived of the advantages and con- veniences this modern, cheap, quick, comfortable, and humane mode of travelling confers on all towns within its reach. Had the line passed near the city, and there is no engineering difficulty whatever in the way, the citizens would have been saved an hour, at least, every journey they make either N. or S. more than they will be when this line is opened ; which event is expected next March, as far as Bromsgrove, and in the autumn through to Birmingham ; and this city will then be brought within less than eight hours of London, within 6£ hours of Manchester and Liverpool, and two of Birmingham. The Birmingham and Gloucester Railway Company propose making a branch to Worcester, to commence on the E. side of the town, at Tallow hill, as laid down on our plan of the city, but nothing is positively determined on this subject, as the Grand Connexion Railway Company propose applying to Parliament again WORCESTER. WORCESTERSHIRE. 51 when a favourable chance offers, to obtain its sanction to their Bill (rejected on the third reading in the Com- mons during the session for 1838) for making a Railway from Abbott's-wood, a point on the B. and G. line four miles S. of Worcester, to the Grand Junction Railway at Wolverhampton ; passing through this city, Kidder- minster, Stourbridge, &c. ; which would diminish the journey between those places, Manchester, Liverpool, and the N.W. parts of England, and Scotland, and this city, Bristol, the W. of England, and S. Wales, by one hour. 106. Registrars of births, deaths, and marriages. The Superintendent Registrar is William Thomason, House of Industry ; the Registrar of marriages is Sam- uel Daniell, 63, High-street ; the Registrar of births and deaths for the Northern district, including the parishes of St. Martin's, St Nicholas', and Whistone's is Thomas Henry Wheeler, Foregate-street ; for the Southern district, including the parishes of St. Alban's, St, Andrew's, St. Helen's, St. Michael's, and St. Peter's, is John Roberts Woodward, Sidbury-street ; and for the Western district, including the parishes of All-Saints', St. Clement's, St. John's, and St. Swithin's, Richard Hill, 11, Foregate-street. 107. St. Oswald's Hospital was either founded by that Saint, or named after a church dedicated to him, but there is no record of it before the 13th century ; it now supports 16 men, and 12 women, who receive 6s. per week, li tons of coal each year, and coats or gowns every two years. This hospital has been much improved of late years especially the chapel, see 36. Much of the property of this charity has been long alienated, but is now recovered, and about to be applied to the increasing of the number of houses, and other purposes of the hospital. Sessions, see OS. 108. Severn, and its navigation, exercise much influence on Worcester, and with a little judicious outlay might be made much more so. In the session of J 836, application was made to Parliament, for power to make such improvement in the river, as to always insure a depth of twelve feet from Gloucester to Worcester, and 52 bentley's history of of six feet to Stourport, which it is estimated could be done for £250,000.; hut in conseqence of the jealousy of the people of Gloucester, who fancy this improvement of the river would injure them, and from other local opposition, the bill was lost. In 1837, a Company was formed, called the Severn Navigation Co., with a capital, of £150,000., in 10,000 shares of £15. each, for effecting such improvement in the river as to obtain a depth of 6£ feet between Gloucester and Worcester, and 6 feet to Stourport. In the summer of 1839, the corporation of Worcester, in connection with the Com- pany (who have spent about £20,000 in endeavouring to obtain their act) memorialized government on this subject ; wishing the improvement of the Severn, to be undertaken by commissioners, in the way the Shannon is now being improved. An answer was received in December, in which government declines to undertake the improvement, because the river does not pass through any property belonging to the Crown; but the desired improvement of the Severn is so absolutely necessary to the prosperity of Worcester, if it must successfully compete with other places, and can be so easily effected, that it is among those things most likely to be soon done. 109. Shewring's Hospital founded by T. Shew- ring, Esq. about 1688, for six poor women, who now receive eight shillings per week. The founder of this hospital, when Mayor of Worcester, accompanied James II. to the door of the Catholic Chapel, when he was on a visit to the city, but refused to go any further saying " I fear we," meaning himself and the corporation "have attended your Majesty too far already." This Hospital is situated on the E. side of Tything-street, about midway between St. Oswald's Hospital, and the 1 10. Shire hall, which is a very handsome stone edi- fice in the Ionic order, erected in 1835, and cost about £33,000. The entrance is by a noble portico, standing near 100 feet back from the street, the fine pediment being supported by 6 symetrical columns in front. The County Hall is approached through a large vestibule, and is 90 feet by 40, and 40 feet high ; being constructed so as to serve occasionally for balls, or public meetings ; WORCESTER. WORCESTERSHIRE. 0<3 on the left is the Crown, and on the right is the Nisi Prius court, each 50 feet by 37 ; besides rooms for wit- nesses in waiting, Jury, and Petty Sessions rooms, Offi- ces, &c. ; and over these the Grand Jury room, 30 feet by 20 ; rooms for the Clerk of Indictments, and witnesses ; and the Record room, and Library, are 30 feet by 20, both fire-proof; for the courts held here, see 68. Behind the hall is a very spacious brick building, called the Judge's Lodgings, which present a fine front to Sansom-walk. 111. Sir Thomas White's Gift. This gentleman was Mayor of Bristol in 1553, and left £104. per annum, to be distributed in rotation to each of 24 cities, and towns, of which cities Worcester is one ; £100 of it to be let out, without interest, to four young men, freemen of the city, for 10 years, upon sureties to be then re-paid, and so let out to others; which bounty, this city will re- ceive for the twelfth time in 1846. The £4. goes to the Surveyor of the city, or town. 112. Social Institution established in 1837, and situated in Carden-street, Blockhouse, is occupied by the Worcester branch of the " Universal Community Society of rational religionists," enrolled under Act of Parliament ; and will seat about 250 persons. Lectures are delivered every Sunday evening at 6, and on Wed- nesday evening at 8 o'clock ; and there is a circulating library, and reading-room connected with the Institu- tion. 113. Society for Apprenticing children of neces- sitous persons, natives of this county, and residing in or near London, and for lending them a sum of money to establish them in business, if they are meritorious ; was established in 1815, since which time premiums have been paid with 95 boys, and the Society annually distri- butes about £200. Mr. T. H. Wheeler, is agent at Worcester. 114. Society of Arts, re-established in 1838, for the exhibition of paintings, promotion of the fine Arts, &c. ; it had a splendid exhibition in the Athenaeum Lecture room, in the summer of 1838, and it possesses a select Library ; Mr. H. Whiting is Secretary. 115. Temperance Society, established on modera- 54 bentley's history of tion principles, in March, 1832, and re-organized on those of Total Abstinence from all intoxicating drinks, in February, 1835. Its members meet once a month in the Friends' Meeting house, Sansom-walk ; the So- ciety holds public meetings twice a month, in the Prim- itive Methodists chapel, South-street, Blockhouse ; and about 600 persons have here signed the Total Abstinence Pledge. Mr. Samuel Darke, is Secretary. 116. Theatre, situated on the N. side of Angel- street, about half-way down from the Cross, was erected in 1780, cost £1000., raised by 20 shares, at £50. each. Mr. Henry Bennett, is the present manager ; who opens the house for public entertainment occasionally. On the E. side of Tything-street, a little beyond the Shire- hall, a large Pavillion is about being completed ; to be opened by Mr. Ryan as a Circus at Christmas ; and is capable of containing 2,000 persons, to witness the equestrian performances. 117. Tract Societies depot, is at Miss F. Osborn's, 24, Cross, but there does not appear to be any well or- ganized district society here. 118. Visiting Society, District, established in 1832, annually expends above £100. in affording relief to the deserving poor, and encouraging provident habits among them by receiving small weekly sums from them in summer, and laving it out to good advantage in cloth- ing, &c, in winter. 119. Walks in the vicinity of Worcester, are nume- rous, and very pleasant ; Sansom-walk is particularly so, being well sheltered from the sun, or from drizzling rain, by the overspreading foliage of lofty elms ; and in what- ever direction the citizen approaches the suburbs, he is met by the most pleasing rural scenery ; the country- houses of the more wealthy, being tastefully arranged in squares and terraces, decorated with beautiful flower- gardens, parterres shrubs, or lawns. The high grounds skirting the eastern boundary of the city, afford a fine view of its many towers, and turrets, and its bristling spire, and are rapidly becoming occupied with villas ; and some of the walks are very inviting from the vast track of fertile country they disclose to view, which forms a fine contrast to the crowded city. ■WORCESTER. WORCESTERSHIRE. 55 120. Walsgrave's charity, consists of eight houses, now forming 16 tenements, on the S. side of Powick- lane; founded in lo67, re-built in 1825 ; each house is endowed with 10s. per annum. 121. Water Works. This city appears to have been originally supplied with water, by works constructed on a small island, then situated a little above the site of the present bridge; but soon after 1770, both the works and the island were removed, to improve the navigation of the river. The water-works were then re-built, above H miles above the bridge, at the junction of the Bar- bourne brook, with the Severn, at an expense of £ 1 1 ,000 ; the water was raised from the river to the top of a high tower (part of which still remains) by a water-wheel, and the city was supplied from this elevated fountain by pipes. In 1810, the present works were erected ; the steam engine, by which the water is forced from the bed of the Severn, to an elevation of 100 feet into the large iron tank, or reservoir, in the Trinity, is situated a little N. of Upper Quay ; and affords a constant supply of pure water for the city, the expenses being supplied by a rate, under an Act of Parliament. 122. Wtatt's Hospital founded by Mr. E. Wyatt, who was Mayor of this city in 1696, for six poor men ; who receive 3s. per week, a pair of shoes, and half a ton of coals a year. They are situated near the S. end, and on the E. side of Friar-street ; and at the bottom of the same square, are two houses built for two women, and endowed by Mr. C. Geary, in 1784, who receive 3s. per week each ; and a pair of shoes, and half a ton of coals yearly. 123. Thus have we graphically, and faithfully (as we hope) sketched Worcester, its noble public buildings, useful Institutions, and important Manufactures; and though the passing cloud of commercial depression at present damps the spirits of the Manufacturers, and causes a short supply of labour to the industrious poor, it is to be hoped this will be only temporary ; and that the experience of the past, will be used both by the governors and the governed, to prevent this periodical suspension of our manufacturing operations, and place our monetary, fiscal, and commercial affairs on such a 56 bentley's history of basis, as to impart healthy vigour to the body politic, both Agricultural, Manufacturing and Commercial. 124. Few places suffer less from these ebbings and flowings of trade than Worcester ; being considerably engaged in producing articles of general use for the home market, having on every side vast tracts of fine land not surpassed for fertility in the kingdom ; but more than all its capitalists being discreet and very wealthy, its merchants, manufacturers, and traders combining spirited enterprise, with sterling integrity, and the great bulk of the working classes being very industrious, it may be said to possess within itself to a considerable extent, the elements necessary to give constant prosperity. 125. To the devout Christian and the philanthrophist, Worcester must, from its numerous sacred edifices and religious institutions be peculiarly pleasing ; each reli- gious denomination supports its Sunday schools, foreign and home missionaries, and other means for spreading divine truth with laudable liberality, and ministers are as remarkable for their eloquence in the pulpit and on the platform, as for their christian deportment. 126. To the lovers of art and science, its numerous Institutions afford a constant and a rich treat ; few places are honoured by so many talented lectures, concerts are very frequent, especially at the Athenaeum ; and the city is remarkable for both vocal and instrumental talent. Balls, assemblies, and exhibitions of works of art, often take place ; social parties are common occurrences, public meetings frequent ; and complaints of Worcester on these heads must arise either from deficiency in taste, or from expectations and desires truly exuberant. 127. The population of Worcester in 1563, consisted of 1,025 families ; according to Mr. Young in 1779, of 11,001 souls. By the government returns, the popula- tion of the city, was 11,191, in 1801 ; 13,611, in 1811 ; 17,023, in 1821; and 18,610, in 1831; and by the same rate of increase, it would be 21,351, in 1840; and the borough contains about 30,000 inhabitants.

ADVERTISEMENTS. 235 REVIEWS OF THE ABOVE WORK. 41 I cannot, for a moment, hesitate to express my opinion that Mr. Bentley's Piano Globe is a most ingenious and useful invention, and that, with the aid of the excellent Treatise which it illustrates, it is calculated to promote the spread of a valuable branch of education." — Mr. John Smith, (Lecturer on Education, the beauties of Geography, &c.) Liverpool. " The Plane Globe is an ingenious contrivance, consist- ing of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres printed on circular pieces of card-board, each Hemisphere moving under the Brass Meridian that confines it in its place, so that Problems can be worked on them as with the rotund sphere. The Treatise on Modern Geography is clear and comprehensive, containing an immense amount of statis- tical and other useful information, packed into a close compass, and so well arranged, that individual facts apper- taining to any country are easily ascertained : for instance, the latitude, longitude, population, products, and manu- factures of every chief town in the world ; and the To- pography of the British Isles is still more fully and minutely described. The general account of the different States and Kingdoms, though concise, is lively and preg- nant with matter. In a word, the publication is a com- plete multum in parvo of Geography and the use of the Globe. Joseph Bentley, the inventor of the Plane Globe, is the compiler of the Geography also, and his labour and ingenuity are admirable." — Spectator. ''This is one of the most ingenious and useful works ever submitted to us, and is accompanied by a Treatise, replete with the most interesting Geographical information, so arranged as to make it equally useful as a class book in Schools, (where it will save much time in teaching prac- tical Geography,) or as a work for general reference and self-instruction. We hail, with great pleasure, this suc- cessful effort to save time and expense in the study of such a pleasing science, and believe it only requires to be seen to insure its general adoption," — Liverpool Mercury. " The work under consideration is on a new plan, and embodies many exceedingly usful aids to the acquisition of Geographical and Astronomical information. This Globe is the invention of Mr. Joseph Bentley, of Man- chester.'* — Liverpool Albion. ' ' Whilt t he importance of a knowledge of Geography as a branch of Education, more particularly in our own commercial country, is universally admitted, all persons who have devoted attention to the instruction of vouth, 236 ADVERTISEMENTS. REVIEWS OF THE ABOVE WORK. must be aware of the difficulty of communicating a clear and practical knowledge of this useful and interesting science without the aid of the Terrestrial Globe, an apparatus which can only be obtained at an expense which places it beyond the reach of the great mass of the community. To remedy this difficulty, Mr. Bentley's Modern Geography and Treatise on the Globes is accompanied by two Plane Moveable Maps, printed on circular pieces of card-board, representing the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, each revolving under a Brass Meridian, by which the geo- graphical position, relative distance, ,&c. of each country and place on the Globe, can be as readily ascertained as by the mechanical aid of the round sphere. There are Fifty-three Problems in the Treatise, with rules for per- forming them on the Plane Globe, so that any person who devotes a little time and attention to the study, may become thoroughly versed in the principles of Geography. The work is equally adapted for the use of Schools as for self- instruction, and requires, we believe, only to be known to ensure its general adoption." — Midland Coun- ties Herald. " The Geography is a complete mine of facts, lucidly arranged, and of great facility in reference ; the Globe seems to us to answer all the purposes of the one con- structed on the usual principle, besides having the great recommendation of its exceedingly portable shape, to say nothing of the price of the Book and Globe being only one quarter of the ordinary price of the latter alone." — Wor- cester Herald. " Much time and labour are saved by this method, and the knowledge thus acquired is likely to be lasting." — Berrow's Worcester Journal. " But the distinguishing feature of this work is the Plane Globe which has been invented by Mr. Bentley, in order to afford an opportunity to every student of working the vari- ous Problems usually jnven as exercises on the use of the globe, and which are too often slurred over, or very imper- fectly understood at school ; because the expense precluding the possibility of supplying each pupil with a terrestrial globe, the greater part of the pupils only see the problems worked by another, and have the result communicated to them, instead of verifying that result by actual experience. When it is considered that the price of the Treatise and Globe together is only about one-fourth of that usually charged lor the latter alone, our readers will be enabled to estimate the amount of obligation due from parents and teachers to the inventor of this very clever succedaneum." — Worcestershire Chronicle.

Perhaps at no former period did the human eye wander over a Map of the World with such curious solicitude. Both Hemispheres are now so prolific in incidents, and the European nations under the influence of a resistless impulse, are pouring their redundant population into regions so remote and unexplored, that every section of the Globe is regarded with an interest that is not satisfied with the scanty knowledge conveyed by the pictorial surface of a mere Map. To minister to this laudable inquisitiveness, the Com- piler of these tables, by laborious research has collected from the most recent and unquestionable sources, a mass of statistical and geographical information that, while it gratifies the inquirer, will be instructive to the pupil, the man of business, the political economist, the traveller, and the emigrant.

Joseph Gillott, has been for nearly twenty years engaged in the manufacture of Steel Pens, and during that time has devoted his unceasing attention to the improving and perfecting this useful and necessary article ; the result of his persevering efforts, and numerous experiments upon the properties of the metal used, has been the construction of a Pen upon a principle entirely new, combining all the advantages of the elasticity and fineness of the quill, with the durability of the metallic pen, and thus obviating the objections which have existed against the use of Steel Pens. The Patentee is proud to acknowledge that a discerning public has paid the most gratifying tribute to his humble, though useful labours, by a demand for his Pens far exceeding his highest expectations. The number of Steel Pens manufactured at Joseph Gillott's Works, From October, 1838, to October, 1839. was 44 654,702 or 3 72 1,225 doz. 2-12ths. or 310,102 gross, 1 doz. 2-12ths. From October, 1837, to October, 1838, was35, 808,452 or 2 9 84 03 7 2-3rds dozens or 248' 669 gross, 9 doz and 8 Pens. This statement will shew the estimation in which these Pens are held, and it is presumed will be an inducement to those who desire to have a really good article, at least to make a trial of Joseph Gillott's Steel Pens. The universal celebrity of these Pens has induced certain disreputable Makers to foist upon the Public a spurious article, bearing the mis-spelled name of the Patentee and Sole Manufac- turer, thus, " GILOTT," by omitting the L ; and in some instances the omission of the final T is fraudulently resorted to, in order to retain the same sound as GILLOTT ; but observe, ^- NONE ARE GENUINE BUT THOSE MARKED IN FULL JOSEPH GILLOTT. Sold by all Stationers and other respectable dealers in Steel Pens throughout the Kingdom. v. mm^M R. JOHN W.

They are made of the best possible form and manufacture for ladies, gentlemen and children — are more durable than any leather Galoche or Clog — and cheaper than the most inferior article of the kind that has hitherto been offered; when needful, they may be repaired or re-soled.
