     |houses, and 756 inhabitants. It is a very ancient borough by
     |prescription, and has sent members to parliament ever since the
     |reign of Edward the Fourth. It is said formerly to have had five
     |parish churches, although it has now only a chapel to the mother
     |church of Chiddingfold. Its market is on Tuesday.

   63|=Hastings=, Sussex, 22. A borough and market town, situated
     |between two hills, and containing 710 houses, and 3848
     |inhabitants. It is very ancient; in the year 924, in the reign of
     |Athelstan, it had a mint, and is supposed to have been built by
     |one Hastings, a Danish pirate, who erected a fort here to secure
     |his men in their retreat, after having pillaged the country. It is
     |the principal of the Cinque Ports, and formerly had a noted
     |harbour, but now a road only for small vessels, notwithstanding
     |the vast expence that has been frequently incurred in order to
     |clear it.

     |The churches of St. Clement’s and All Saints, are ancient fabrics;
     |St. Clement’s contains several good monuments, and curious
     |inscriptions, with a neat altar piece. All Saint’s is spacious,
     |and has a pulpit cloth made of the canopy used at Queen Anne’s
     |coronation.
     |
     |Between the parishes of St. Clement’s and All Saint’s runs a fresh
     |water stream, called the Bourne, which supplies nearly the whole
     |town with water. The town is commanded by a strong fort, and the
     |whole of this coast is strongly fortified with batteries and
     |martello towers. Here is also a barrack for foot soldiers, and a
     |custom house, with an establishment of twelve riding officers;
     |this place and its neighbourhood being famous for a trade in
     |contraband goods. The streets are well paved, and from their
     |inclination towards the sea, are easily kept clean and neat.
     |
     |At low water Hastings has a fine level sand, of a great extent,
