   10|=Bromley=, Kent, 16. A market town and parish, seated on the river
     |Ravensbourne. Near the town is a palace of the Bishops of
     |Rochester, where there is a mineral spring, of similar quality to
     |that at Tunbridge; and the manor of this place was granted to the
     |bishop by king Edgar, in the year 700. The church is a very old
     |structure. There is still standing a college, erected by Bishop
     |Warner in the reign of Charles the Second, for 20 poor clergymen’s
     |widows, with an allowance of £20, together with £50 per annum to
     |the chaplain. This was the first endowment of the kind established
     |in England. The allowance has since been augmented to £30 per
     |annum, and £60 to the chaplain, through the munificence of the
     |Rev. Mr. Hetherington and Bishop Pearce, the former of whom left
     |£2000, and the latter £5000. Bromley contains 419 houses, and 2965
     |inhabitants; and has a market on Thursday.

  109|Bruton, Somerset, 173. A market town and parish, deriving its name
     |from its situation on the river Brue, over which it has a stone
     |bridge. It is a well-built town, composed chiefly of three
     |streets, at the meeting of which is a very convenient market
     |place, built by a subscription of the farmers. The church is a
     |handsome building, and has two quadrangular towers, one at the
     |west, and the other at the north aisle. The Quarter Sessions for
     |the eastern division of the county is sometimes held here, and it
     |has a small manufacture of stockings, and inferior kinds of
     |woollen goods. It contains 317 houses, and 1631 inhabitants, and
