     |were presented as confirmations of charters granted to this town
     |by John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster. The market is on Wednesday.

  120|=Ilchester=, Somerset, 167. A borough, market town, and parish,
     |containing 416 houses, and 1862 inhabitants, pleasantly situated
     |on the river Ivel, which is not navigable. It appears to have been
     |a strong fortified town in the time of the Romans, and at the
     |Norman Conquest was a city containing several churches; the
     |foundation of its walls are still perceivable near the river, and
     |_Yard Lane_ was formerly a ditch, which entirely surrounded the
     |town. The fosse way retains its name, and passes through the
     |principal street, and the pavement of the original ford across the
     |river, may be seen on the west side of the bridge, formed of flag
     |stones.
     |
     |The town at present consists of four streets, and it has a neat
     |church. It is a borough by prescription, returns two members to
     |parliament, and gives title of Earl to the family of Fox. The
     |celebrated Roger Bacon was born at this town. On King’s Moor horse
     |races are held, and the neighbourhood produces great quantities of
     |excellent grain. The market is on Wednesday.
     |
  132|=Ilminster=, Somerset, 168. A market town and parish, situated
     |near the river Ille, containing 377 houses, and 2160 inhabitants.
     |The church is a handsome building ornamented with a quadrangular
     |glazed tower. It contains a monument erected in the beginning of
     |the 17th century, to the memory of Nicholas Wadham and Dorothy his
     |wife, the founders of Wadham College, Oxford.
     |
     |Here is a free grammar school, founded by Edward the Sixth, with a
     |good salary, and a house for the head master, as also for his
     |assistant. In the centre of the town stands the market house and
     |shambles, where a market is held on Saturday.
