     |ancient fabric, but the spire was destroyed in 1699 by lightning.
     |The summer Assizes, and Michaelmas Quarter Sessions are held here,
     |and the new county gaol and bridewell, form a handsome building,
     |well situated for the health of the prisoners, and built after the
     |Howardian plan.

     |There is a remarkable well near the town, the water of which is
     |heavier than most others; and will keep pure the greater part of a
     |year. In the neighbourhood are some monumental stones, called the
     |_Hurlers_, supposed to be the remains of a Druid’s temple, they
     |stand on a down in three circles.
     |
     |This place is noted in history for being the head quarters of
     |Perkin Warbeck, who styled himself the son of Edward the Fourth;
     |and here Humphrey Arundel, governor of St. Michael’s Mount, in the
     |reign of Edward the Sixth, collected an army of 10,000 men. It has
     |a good market on Saturday, well supplied with corn and all kinds
     |of provisions. Bodmin contains 325 houses, and 2299 inhabitants.

     |summer season for sea bathing. It is an extensive assemblage of
     |modern brick buildings, without any regular plan; which originated
     |with the speculation of the proprietor, the late Sir Richard
     |Hotham. It has a new assembly room near the sea, and a very neat
     |modern chapel.

   88|Bolbury, or Bilbury Rings, Wilts, 162. This encampment occupies a
     |point of Down, projecting from the great ridge, and is supposed to
     |be of British origin. It is defended on the east by double, and on
     |the west by triple entrenchments; the outward one being very broad
     |and flat. The exterior vallum is 990 yards in circuit, and the
     |ramparts 20 feet high, including an area of seventeen acres and a
     |quarter; within which is another work of an irregular form. Many
     |British and Roman antiquities have been here discovered. It has
     |several entrances, some of which appear to be of modern formation.

     |The only thing worthy of notice in this place is the church, a
