A parish containing 80 houses, and 346
     |inhabitants.
     |
     |Wishford, Little, Wilts, 208.
     |
   19|Wistley Common, Surrey, 25.
     |
   51|Withdean, Sussex, 51.
     |
   37|Witley, Surrey, 37. A parish containing 163 houses, and 1039
     |inhabitants. A spring in this parish, at Bonfield, is reckoned
     |efficacious for sore eyes. This place retains its ancient
     |privilege from serving on juries. From _Hindhead_ and _Gracewood
     |Hills_, are charming prospects of the surrounding country.
     |
   36|Witley Common, Surrey, 27, 33.
     |
  170|Wonford, East, Devon, 116.
     |
   27|Woodcock Bridge, Surrey, 56.
     |
   22|Wood Hatch, Surrey, 48.
     |
  204|Woodland, Devon, 121.
     |
   35|Wood’s Gate, Kent, 19.
     |
   92|Woodyates Inn, Dorset, 105.
     |
    8|Wood, West, Kent, 2.
     |
   29|Wooley Green, Berks, 176.
     |
  123|Woolham Mill, Somerset, 167.
     |
   49|Woolhampton, Berks, 179. A parish containing 43 houses, and 322
     |inhabitants.
     |
   39|Woolson Bridge, Hants, 74.
     |
   63|Woolwich Wood, Kent, 9.
     |
     |Woolverton, Somerset, 205. A parish containing 28 houses, and 169
     |inhabitants.
     |
   93|Workly Down, Dorset, 105.
     |
   56|Worthing, Sussex, 67, 218. This place, which a short time ago
     |consisted only of a few miserable huts, has now many handsome
     |buildings, several of them sufficiently extensive and elegant to
     |accommodate the first families in the kingdom.
     |
     |The modern buildings are on the coast, but the village extends
     |towards the Downs, in a straight line, for about half a mile. Here
     |are two respectable libraries, and commodious warm baths.
     |
     |Worthing is much resorted to during the bathing season, by those
     |who prefer quiet to the noise and bustle of Brighton; and there is
     |a facility of bathing here in the most stormy weather, with a
     |level extent of sand for a length of ten miles. Being surrounded
     |at the distance of about a mile by the chain of Sussex Downs, even
     |in the winter months, the chilling blasts of the northern and
     |eastern winds are entirely excluded. A fishery is carried on here
     |in the spring for mackarel, and in the autumn for herrings.
     |
   48|Worting, Hants, 99. A parish containing 15 houses, and 120
     |inhabitants.
     |
   21|Wray Common, Surrey, 54.
     |
  201|Wrangerton, Devon, 120.
     |
   35|Wych Cross, Sussex, 57.
     |
     |
     |Y.
     |
  141|Yarcombe, Devon, 169. A parish containing 110 houses, and 740
     |inhabitants.
     |
   85|Yarnbury Castle, Wilts, 162. This ancient fortification, like most
     |others of a similar nature, occupies an elevated spot. Its
     |original construction is supposed to be British, though it was
     |afterwards occupied by the Romans and Saxons. At present it
     |consists of a double ditch and vallum, inclosing an area of
     |twenty-eight acres and a half.
