     |Falmouth Harbour, Cornwall, 130. (_see Falmouth_)
     |
   73|=Fareham=, Hants, 98, 222. A market town, situated at the
     |north-west extremity of Portsmouth Harbour, containing 621 houses,
     |and 3325 inhabitants. During the summer season this town is much
     |frequented for the purpose of sea-bathing, having a commodious
     |bathing-house; and the houses are tolerably well built.
     |
     |Its principal manufactures are sacking and ropes; it has also a
     |considerable trade in coals, and a good market on Wednesday.
     |
     |Farlington, Hants, 214, 223. A parish containing 53 houses, and
     |302 inhabitants.
     |
   32|Farnborough, Hants, 80. A parish containing 48 houses, and 241
     |inhabitants.
     |
   14|Farnborough, Kent, 16. A township and chapelry, containing 57
     |houses, and 314 inhabitants.
     |
   38|=Farnham=, Surrey, 81. A market town, situated on the river Wey,
     |containing 538 houses, and 2910 inhabitants, and deriving its name
     |from the quantity of fern which grows in its vicinity. The town is
     |neat, well paved, and has several handsome houses.
     |
     |Near this town is a cave formed in a rock, called _Mother Ludlam’s
     |Hole_, through which passes a continual stream of fine water,
     |which, after falling down a number of marble steps, runs into the
     |river in the meadow below: this grotto is said to have been the
     |favourite study of Dean Swift, when on a visit to Sir William
     |Temple. It is large, but diminishes gradually, and winds away as
     |the spring seems to have directed it. The bottom is paved with
     |Mosaic tile: it is separated by a little parapet, through which
     |the water flows, and falls into small marble troughs below each
     |other, till conveyed out of the grotto. It appears that these
     |springs were collected together for the use of the adjacent
     |monastery. Part of the abbey and chapel ruins are still to be
     |seen. In the neighbourhood are many extensive hop plantations. The
     |market is held on Thursday.
     |
   22|Farnham End, Bucks, 175.
     |
   50|Farringdon, Hants, 95. A parish containing 64 houses, and 387
     |inhabitants.
     |
   47|=Faversham=, Kent, 7. A market town and parish, situated on the
     |river Swale, containing 639 houses, and 3655 inhabitants. The town
     |appears to be very ancient, and the two Roman saints, Crispin and
     |Crispianus, are said to have founded an asylum here, where they
     |were bound apprentices to a shoemaker.
     |
     |So early as the year 811, this was denominated the King’s Town, in
     |which King Cenwall granted a charter to Wulford, Archbishop of
     |Canterbury. Here are also to be seen the ruins of an abbey,
     |founded by King Stephen.
     |
     |The parish church is supposed to have been built about the reign
     |of Edward the First. It is in the form of a cross: the walls are
