138|=Chard=, Somerset, 143, 145. A market town and parish. The town
|consists chiefly of two streets, intersecting each other, composed
|of good commodious houses. The church is a low building,
|possessing nothing remarkable either in internal or external
|decorations. At the angle where the two streets meet, stands an
|ancient Gothic building, formerly a chapel, but now used as a town
|hall.
|
|Chard contains 534 houses, and 2784 inhabitants. Several streams
|run through the town, and keep it clean. The assizes were held
|here formerly, and the town sent members to parliament; but it
|lost the privilege by negligence. At the west end of the town
|rises a very fine spring, conveyed by leaden pipes to four
|conduits, which supply the inhabitants with water. The market is
|held on Monday, and is abundantly supplied with corn.

|English; but, in 833, they were in turn completely routed, with
|the loss of nearly their whole fleet, consisting of 35 sail. It
|contains 64 houses, and 369 inhabitants.
