|river Ivel: that part called _Castleton_ had a strong castle
     |erected by Roger, third bishop of Salisbury, which in the civil
     |wars of Charles the First, was the first castle besieged by the
     |parliament forces, and the last that held out for that prince.
     |Only the ruins of this castle are now to be seen. The markets are
     |on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and are well supplied.

    8|Shooters Hill, Kent, 2. This hill is supposed to have derived its
     |name from the exercise of archery carried on in the neighbouring
     |woods in former times. On the summit of the hill, which commands a
     |most extensive prospect, are some pleasant houses. It was formerly
     |noted for robberies, till the road was widened, and much of the
     |coppice wood cut down. On the right of the road stands a
     |triangular tower. (_See Severndroog Castle._)

     |=Shoreham, New=, Sussex, 219. A sea-port, borough, and market
     |town, on the river Adur, containing 168 houses, and 770
     |inhabitants.
     |
     |The town lies about a mile within the haven, singularly built, in
     |the centre of which is the market house, standing on Doric
     |pillars. The church is an extensive building, and was formerly
     |collegiate; of late it has been repaired, and greatly beautified.
     |Although it is only a tide haven, yet as it is the best upon the
     |coast, vessels of considerable burthen come into it. Beyond the
     |town is a timber bridge across the river, leading to Arundel and
     |Chichester. Here are also military barracks. The town is a borough
     |by prescription, and has sent members to parliament ever since the
     |year 1298.
     |
     |Shoreham has a considerable trade in ship-building, and is noted
     |for the excellence of its oysters. The market is on Saturday.
     |
