3|Clapham, Surrey, 45. This village consists chiefly of one long
|street, and a number of handsome houses surrounding a common,
|which is so well planted with various trees, that it has now the
|appearance of a park: though, formerly, it was little better than
|a morass. This improvement was chiefly effected by a subscription
|of the inhabitants. Near the road to Wandsworth is a reservoir of
|fine water, which supplies the parish. On the north-east corner of
|the common, a new church was erected in 1776, at the expence of
|£ll,000; but it has no cemetery. On the site of the old church a
|new chapel has been lately erected, in which the funeral service
|is performed when there are any interments. Clapham contains 480
|houses, and 3864 inhabitants.
