     |
     |Garret Lane, between this village and Tooting, was the scene of
     |the mock election of the Mayor of Garret, held for a number of
     |years at every general election among the mobility, to the great

   84|Wans Dyke, Wilts, 198. A ditch crossing the country from east to

     |is that of malting, and a small woollen manufacture. The parish
     |church, situated at the west end of the town, is a spacious and
     |handsome building, with a square tower, containing six bells. It
     |has also a neat chapel of ease, erected for the convenience of the
     |parishioners, near the centre of the town: there is a good market
     |house and assembly room, and a free grammar school for twenty
     |boys.
     |
     |The houses are mostly built of rough stone, and the market on
     |Saturday is well supplied with corn.
