ffresh and good and above 3 quarters of a yard long. Thence to Beverly 9 miles w^{ch} is a very fine town for its size, its prefferable to any town I saw but Nottingham. There are 3 or 4 Large Streetes well pitch’d bigger than any in York, the other Lesser Streets about y^e town being Equal with them. The Market Cross is Large, there are 3 markets, one for beasts another for Corne and another for ffish, all Large, the town is Serv’d with Water by wells walled up round or rather in a Square, above halfe ones length, and by a pully and weight letts down or draws up the Buckat w^{ch} is Chained to y^e beame of y^e pully. There are many of these wells in all the streetes it seemes its in Imitation of Holland, they being supply’d with water soe. The buildings are new and pretty Lofty, the Minster has been a ffine building all stone, Carv’d on the outside w^{th} ffigures and Images, and more than 100 pedastalls that remaine where Statues has stood of angels and the like. The wood worke in the quire is very ffine. Just by the Comunion table is the Sanctuary or place of Refuge where Criminalls flee for Safety—its a Seate of Stone work Cut all in one. Earle of Northumberland’s and Lady’s Monuments—his is very plaine, only a marble Stone raised up with Stone about 2 yards high; his Name, by means of his great atchievments in the Barrons warre, great Percy Earle of Northumberland, is monument Enough to posterity. His tombe was a little fallen in and a hole So bigg as many put their hands in and touch’d the body w^{ch} was much of it Entire of y^e bonds; the Skull was whole and the teeth firme, tho’ of so many yeares standing. The Countess’s monument is very fine, its made of y^e same free stone y^e Church is built w^{th}, but so finely polished y^t it looks like Marble, and Carv’d w^{th} figures, birds leaves, flowers, beasts and all sorts of things and y^e armes is Cutt out in severall places all about it; the top of the arch is one Entire Stone as much as one Can Grasp and its all finely Carv’d w^{th} all sorts of Curiosityes and adorn’d with Gilding and painting.
