   21|=Ryegate=, Surrey, 47, 54. A borough and market town, consisting
     |of two well built streets, containing 407 houses, and 2246
     |inhabitants. It is situated in a pleasant valley called Holmsdale,
     |and its name is supposed to have been derived from a Saxon word
     |signifying the course of a river, it being seated on a branch of
     |the Mole. A gate and some small remains are still to be seen of
     |_Holms Castle_, particularly a long vault with a large room at the
     |end, in which the Barons, who took up arms against King John, are
     |said to have had their private meetings, especially the evening
     |preceding the general congress at Runny Mead: which has rendered
     |this place an object of curiosity.
     |
     |Ryegate has sent members to parliament ever since the reign of
     |Edward the First.
     |
     |The neighbourhood abounds with fullers earth, and medicinal
     |springs. Market on Tuesday, besides a monthly one on Wednesday.

     |and 8243 inhabitants. It was first built on a hill, a situation
     |chosen by the Britons. The original cathedral was finished in the
     |most splendid manner by bishop Roger, in the reign of King
     |Stephen, but the bishop’s castle being seized and garrisoned by
     |the king, the bishops and canons resolved to remove to a spot
     |where they would be less disturbed; and the present site of the
     |cathedral was chosen by bishop Poore, in the reign of Henry the
     |Third. The church was began in 1220, and finished in six years.
     |The body of the building is supported by ten pointed arches on
     |each side, resting on clusters of the lightest pillars, each
     |transept has three such arches, forming as many chapels, and the
     |choir has seven arches. The chapter house is an octagonal
