   10|=Croydon=, Surrey, 53. A market town and parish. The town is in
     |general well built, and pleasantly situated on the edge of
     |Banstead Downs, containing 1474 houses, and 7801 inhabitants. Its
     |chief manufactures are paper and printed cottons; and its church
     |is a handsome Gothic structure, containing several fine monuments,
     |particularly of the archbishops of Canterbury, and formerly had a
     |chantery.
     |
     |The manor has belonged to the archbishop of Canterbury from the
     |days of William the Conqueror; but the archbishops’ palace is now
     |converted into a manufactory. Vast quantities of charcoal are made
     |here, with wood brought from the neighbouring hills, and it has a
     |market on Saturday, which is well supplied with all kinds of
     |provision, particularly fowl, oats, and oatmeal.
     |
   39|=Cuckfield=, Sussex, 50. A market town and parish, situated on a
     |rising ground, having a spacious and handsome church, and a free
     |grammar school, founded in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. It has a
     |small market on Friday.

     |
   15|=Dartford=, Kent, 2. A market town, deriving its name from an
     |ancient ford over the river Darent. Here are to be seen the
     |remains of a magnificent nunnery, founded by Edward the Third, (of
     |which Bridget, the daughter of Edward the Fourth was prioress;)
     |which at the Reformation was converted into a royal mansion. A
     |branch of the old Roman Watling-street passes through this town.
     |The parish church is situated in the main street, which is wide
     |and commodious, with several handsome shops, and a good bridge
     |over the Darent. The assizes were formerly held here. In the
     |neighbourhood are some gunpowder mills, much esteemed for their
     |produce.
     |
     |This town is remarkable for having been the place where the
     |rebellion of Wat Tyler and Jack Straw, first broke out, occasioned
     |by the indecent behaviour of a tax gatherer towards the daughter
     |of Tyler, who killed the offender with a pole-axe. The market is
     |on Saturday, and it is well supplied with provisions, corn,
     |cattle, &c. Dartford contains 535 houses, and 3177 inhabitants.
