219|Newhay, Cornwall, 153.
     |
   37|Newington, Kent, 5. A parish containing 61 houses, and 429
     |inhabitants.
     |
    1|Newington, Surrey, 23, 45. This village extends about a mile in
     |length from Southwark to Kennington Common, towards which are many
     |well-built houses, the residence of opulent merchants and
     |tradesmen in the metropolis. It contains 2865 houses, and 14,847
     |inhabitants. The church was rebuilt on a larger scale, but on the
     |same inconvenient spot, by the side of the great road, in 1793. It
     |has in its church-yard a remarkable tomb, raised over the body of
     |William Allen, a young man killed by the firing of the soldiers at
     |the time that John Wilkes was in the King’s Bench Prison. There
     |are several singular inscriptions, and among the rest--_O earth,
     |cover not thou my blood!_ which has excited general attention.
     |
  249|Newlyn Down, Cornwall, 157.
     |
  110|Newton, St. Loe, Somerset, 202. A parish containing 49 houses, and

     |
  216|Nicholas, St., Island, Devon, 122. This island is situated on the
     |coast of Devonshire, in extent about three acres, lying before the
     |mouth of Plymouth Harbour; it is strong both by art and nature,
     |and on it is erected a battery, commanding the entrance to Hamoaze
     |and Catwater, with barracks and apartments for a commanding
     |officer.
     |
  125|Nine Stones, Dorset, 110. These stones are placed in a circular
     |form, and are from three to seven feet in height, supposed to be
     |the remains of a Druidical temple.
     |
   33|Nonsuch Green, Kent, 14.
     |
   80|Normanton Down, Wilts, 161.
     |

     |
   20|Northfleet, Kent, 3. A parish containing 291 houses, and 1910
     |inhabitants. It is situated on a high chalk hill, commanding a
     |very extensive view of the river Thames and the county of Essex.
     |The church is an extensive building, and contains several
     |monuments of the 14th century. On the north wall is a beautiful
     |alabaster monument to the memory of Dr. Brown, eminent for his
     |skill in natural history, and physician to Charles the Second.
     |Vast quantities of lime are burnt here, and extraneous fossils
     |have been dug up. In the flint (of which there are frequent
     |strata,) complete cockle shells filled with chalk are found, many
     |of which are of an extraordinary size.
     |
  120|Northover, Somerset, 167. A parish containing 12 houses, and 56
     |inhabitants.
     |
  231|Norton, Cornwall, 155.
