He has proceeded far in remedying tliis evil; 

 by raifi ng fourteen new ones fubftantially 

 built of brick and tile, and by placing them 

 round an open fpace, by way of green, has 

 greatly ornamented the country. Befides 

 tlj^efe buildings, Mr. Tur?ier has raifed a new 

 blackfmith's houfe and fhop, a wheel- 

 wright's, a butcher's, and a fhopkeeper's : 

 By which means he has provided the ne- 

 cefiary tradefmen for the neighbourhood, 

 at the fame time that his village is greatly 

 cncreafed and ornamented. 



Formerly the neighbourhood was much 

 peftered with a colled:ion of little blackguard 

 alehoufes, which not only encouraged idle- 



From this flcetch it is feen how well the whole 

 fpace is divided : Into an exceeding good dining- 

 room, an excellent rendezvous-room, a breakfafting 

 one : Four principal bed-chambers, with drefllng- 

 rooms ; fifteen other bed-chambers and a billiard- 

 room. It is certainly thrown into apartments 

 with as much judgment as any houfe in England. 



At no great diftance are three public edifices, 

 raifed by th:;: 'Turner family, which well deferve 

 notice : An hofpital, a public fchool, and a 

 church ; a maufoleum adjoining. 



Xhe firft is a large handfome building, inclofing 

 three fides of a court, founded by Sir JVilliam 

 Turner^ as appears by tlic following inicription 

 over the entrance. 



" This hofpital was founded and endowed 



1676, by Sir IVilUam Turnery knight. Lord
