garden ; tlvat on the N. fide is filled up, and made part of 

 a court-yard. The church is fituated on an eminence, at a 

 fiiort diftance from the caiUc ; and though the work of dif- 

 ferent ages, is more regular than might have been expefted. 

 Tlie S. fide is ornamented witii much curious fculpture. 

 The tower is a plain ftone ilrufture, ornamented with bat- 

 tlements and pinnacles : the height is ii6 feet. Tlie inte- 

 rior of the church is fpacious, and its chancel is feparated from 

 tlie bod)- of tlie church by a fcrcon, ornamented with elegant 

 tracery. The church being too fmall for the reception of the 

 inhabitants of the town, a chapel of eafe was erefted about tlie 

 year 1733 ; and here arc alfo feveral mceting-houfes for dif- 

 fcnters of various denominations. A free grainmar-fchool 

 was erefted about tlie year 1604, purfuaiit to the will of 

 Peter Blundell, a native, and eminent clothier of this town ; 

 who, from a very low origin, by a long life of fuccefsful in- 

 duftry acquired an ample fortune ; and bequeathed 40,000/. 

 to vaiious charitable purpofes. In this fchool he provided 

 for the inftrutlion of 150 boys: with maintenance for 

 three fcholars in each of the univerfities of Oxford and 

 Cambridge, to be chofen out of his fchool. Here are alfo a 

 charity-fchool, a free Englifli fchool, feveral alms-houfes, and 

 other endowments for the benefit of the poor inhabitants. 

 The other public buildings are : the town-houfe, a fpacious 

 edifice, appropriated to the meetings of the corporation, 

 grand juries, and other public bodies ; the maiket-houfe, a 

 large quadrangular fabric, for the (landing and fale of corn ; 

 and the hofpital or poor-houfe, an extenfive ftrufture, 

 eretled in 1704, and containing various workfhops for the 

 employment of thofe whom indigence or misfortune may 

 oblige to have recourfe to it. The paridi of Tiverton is 

 upwards erf nine miles in length, and about eight miles in 

 breadth. 



At a (hort diflance to the fouth of Tiverton is CoUiprieft 

 Houfe, formerly the feat of the Blundell family, but now 

 the property of Thomas Window, efq. who recently rebuilt 

 and enlarged the manfion. It ftands on the fide of an emi- 

 nence near the river Exe, having a Hoping lawn in front, 

 and a hanging wood behind. — Hiftorical Memoirs of the
