Korth side of ehe Chancel of the Church of the said Town ; but was Re*mov’d in the Memory of Man our ot the fame, and laid in an Arch with-in the Communion Rails, and their Room and Place taken up to fce theBurying-placc of the Worthy Family ot the Andersens, now Lords of theMarmor (who are descended frorn dir Edm. Andersen Knighr, Lord ChiefJustice of the Commcn-Pleas , in Qiieen Eiiz.abetRs Days, Famouz for hisUprightness and Love to the Church ; whose Anceffors lived at Fhxburrmvin this County) in which is the Effigies to the Life of Sir Edmund Ander -fon Baranet, molf curioufly cut inVVhite Marble lying upon a great Altar-Tomb, adorn’d with many Arms and Inscriptions.

From thence the Caujway all along Paved is Continu’d about a Mile fur-ther to the Entrance upon Thornholm-More, where there is a place by theStreet call’d Bratton Graves, and a little East, by Eroughton Woedßde, is aSpring that 1 discover’d forne Yeats ago that turns Mols into Stone ; and notfar further stands the Ruins of the Stately Priory ot Thornholm , Built byKing Stephen. Opposite to this Priory , about a c^u arter of a Mtle on theWest side of the Street, is a place call’d Santcn, from th eFlying Sands there,tU.yoi.u.caf. w hich have Over-run and Ruin’d above ico Acres of Land- Amongstm.jr#.xL-v;a. these Sands was that great Roman Pottery mention’d by Dr. Lißer. I found

Snp. seff. ix. t ^ cre (everal Roman Coins, and Mr. B. of d.fcund a great piece of Braß in

the bottom ofone of the Furnaces like a Croß, which perhaps was part ofa Grate to sct torne Pots on while they were Baking or Drying. Returningback to the Street, thtre are feveral Sand Hills, somewhat like Earrowsthereby, on the Topof one of which was Eredted a great Fiat Stone, nowso far funk in the Earth, that there is not above a Foot of it to be seen.Entring then into Appleby Lane, the Street leads thro’ the West End of theTown, at which Town is two Old Roman Games yet Practifed, (tho’ veryimperfectly ) the one call’d fultaris Bnver, and the other Troy's Walls. Fromhence it runs straight «n, leaving Roxbj, a little Town half a Mde on theWest, and Winterten, a pretty ncat Town (where the Worthy Families of

the Places and Nevtls Inhabit, ) and then about 3 or 4 Mtles further, leav-

ing Wintringham about half a Mile to the West, the laid Street falls intoHumber, and there Ends ; at which End has been a Town call’d Old Win-tringham, and a sortof a Bcach for Ships. All this End of theCountry, onthe West fide ot this Street, hath been füll ot Romans in Old time, as maybe gathered from their A Ioneys, Coins, and the many Ttles and Bricks thatare commonly hcre found, efpecially at a Cliff call’d Winterten C/iff, wherehas been some Old Roman Buildings ; and further about 2 Mt’es more West-ward Is Alkburroiv, which feerrs to have been a Roman Teivn, not onlyfrom its Name, but also from a Small Four square Camp or Entrenchmentthere, on the West tide of which is a Barrow , call’d Countefs Barrow, orConntefs Fit, to this Day, Sunk Holiow in the Middle.
