TILBURY, or WEST TILBURY, a very ancient town in Essex, situated near
the Thames; here the four proconsular ways made by the Romans, crossed
each other, and in the year 630, this was the see of a bishop named
Ceadda, who converted the East Saxons, In the reigns of Edward I.
Edward II. and Edward III. it was held of the crown by the family of
the Tilburies, and from them probably took its name. It is situated by
level unhealthy marshes called the Three Hundreds, which are rented by
the farmers, salesmen and grazing butchers of London, who generally
stock them with Lincolnshire and Leicestershire weathers, which are
sent hither from Smithfield in September and October, and fed here till
Christmas or Candlemas; and this is what the butchers call right marsh
mutton.
TILBURY _fort_, is situated in the marsh on the bank of the Thames, at
some distance from the above town, from which it took its name, and
is placed opposite to Gravesend. It is a regular fortification, and
may justly be termed the key of the city of London. The plan was laid
by Sir Martin Beckman, chief engineer to King Charles II. who also
designed the works at Sheerness. It was intended to be a pentagon, but
the water bastion was never built.
