     |Bosham Creek, Sussex, 215.
     |
     |Bosham Pound, Sussex, 215.
     |
     |Botley, Hants, 212. A parish containing 98 houses, and 614
     |inhabitants.
     |
   49|Boughton, Kent, 7. A parish containing 174 houses, and 884
     |inhabitants. The church has two aisles, and contains several very
     |ancient monuments; it has also a very good stone tower, the spire
     |of which fell down about the close of the sixteenth century. It
     |has two charity schools, in which one hundred children are
     |educated. In 1716, a complete human skeleton was dug up, near the
     |road side, with a hanger, and a brass coin of Antoninus Pius.
     |Adjoining was anciently Blean Forest, which abounded with boars,
     |wolves, and other animals of chase.
     |
   50|Boughton Hill, Kent, 7. This hill commands a most extensive and
     |beautiful prospect.
     |
  104|Bourton, Dorset, 164. A hamlet containing 112 houses, and 637
     |inhabitants.
     |

  178|Bowhill, Devon, 196.
     |
  101|Box, Wilts, 186. A parish containing 210 houses, and 1165
     |inhabitants.
     |
     |Boxgrove, Sussex, 216. A parish containing 131 houses, and 682
     |inhabitants.
     |
   21|Box Hill, Surrey, 63. This hill derives its name from the number
     |of box trees growing on it, planted by the Earl of Arundel in the
     |reign of Charles the First. These groves are interspersed with a
     |number of small open spaces and agreeable walks; from whence, on a
     |clear day, the prospect is beautifully varied and extensive, the
     |immediate vicinity of the hill being greatly enlivened by the
     |windings of the river Mole.
     |
     |A few years ago, an eccentric man, requested to be buried on the
     |summit of this hill, in an _erect posture_; and, at his decease,
     |this singular request was complied with. In the neighbourhood are
     |a number of gentlemen’s seats.
     |
     |Boyton, Wilts, 207. A parish containing 41 houses, and 248
     |inhabitants.
     |
  122|Bradford Down, Dorset, 110.
     |
  123|Bradford Heath, Dorset, 110.
     |
  239|Bradock Common, Cornwall, 125.
     |
  178|=Bradninch=, Devon, 196. This town is nearly a mile in length
     |consisting chiefly of one large irregular street, and the houses
     |but indifferently built. Its principal manufacture is paper. It
     |formerly sent members to parliament till the reign of Henry the
     |Seventh, but on a complaint that the inhabitants were not able to
     |pay them their wages, 2_s._ _per_ day, they were excused on the
     |payment of five marks. The church is an ancient Gothic building.
     |It contains 247 houses, and 1187 inhabitants, and has a trifling
     |market on Tuesday.
     |
  199|Brent Bridge, Devon, 120.
