     |
   20|Datchet, Bucks, 175. This village is pleasantly situated opposite
     |Windsor Little Park, by the side of the Thames, over which it has
     |a bridge. It contains 102 houses, and 857 inhabitants.

     |
  195|Dean Prior, Devon, 120. A parish containing 93 houses, and 495
     |inhabitants.
     |
   56|Dean, West, Sussex, 35. A parish containing 103 houses, and 510
     |inhabitants.

     |Dennis’s, St., Abbey, Hants, 221.
     |
    4|Deptford, Kent, 1. This town is divided into Upper and Lower
     |Deptford, and contains 3068 houses, and 17,548 inhabitants; it has
     |a commodious stone bridge over the small river Ravensbourn, near
     |its fall into the Thames, at which place was anciently a very
     |_deep ford_, whence the name of the town.
     |
     |The old church of St. Nicholas consists of a chancel, nave, and
     |two aisles, and was rebuilt, excepting the tower, in 1697.
     |
     |The new church of St. Paul, which is a handsome stone structure,
     |with a chancel, nave, and two aisles, supported by pillars of the
     |Corinthian order, was erected in 1730, as one of the 50 new
     |churches within the bills of mortality; when, by act of
     |parliament, it was made a distinct parish.
     |
     |The Royal Dock Yard was first erected in the reign of Henry the
     |Eighth. The storehouses, which form a square, have had several
     |additional buildings; the whole yard covers 31 acres of ground,
     |containing two wet docks, one single the other double, three
     |slips, a bason, and two ponds for masts, with the various
     |manufactories for anchors, cables, masts, blocks, &c. and
     |apartments for the numerous officers employed. Here the royal
     |yachts are generally kept. There are also several private docks in
     |the neighbourhood for the building and repair of merchants’
     |vessels. The Red House, a little to the north-west of Deptford, is
     |the grand store for provisions, &c. for the royal navy.
     |
     |On the site where St. Nicholas’ workhouse now stands, was the
     |manor house of Say’s Court, which was the residence of the Czar,
     |Peter the Great, when he worked as a shipwright in this yard. Here
     |the Society of the Trinity House was first formed in the reign of
     |Henry the Eighth, and incorporated under the title of Master,
     |Warden, and Assistants of the Guild of the Most Glorious and
     |Undivided Trinity; the object of which institution is, for the
     |increase and encouragement of navigation, and the good government
     |of mariners, shipping, &c.
