is^ a Spring that I difcovered fome years ago that turns 
Mofs into Stone 5 and not far further Ifends the ruins 
of the ftately Priory of Thornholm^ built by King 
Stephen, 
Oppofite to this Priory, about a quart^an of a mile on 
the Weft-fide of the Street, is a place called Santon^ 
from the flying Sands there, which have over-run 
and raiad above a hundred Acres of Land. A- 
mongft which Sands was in antient time a great Roman 
Pottery, as the Learned Dr Li^er ftiews in the Tranfaft. 
from the Reliques of the ruinous Furnaces,and^ the many 
fragments of Roman Urns and Pots yet to be met with. T 
have alfo found there feveral Roman Coins, and Mr B. 
of A. found a great piece of Brafs in the bottom of one 
of the Furnaces like a Crofs, which perhaps was part 
of a Grate,to fet fome Pot? on while . they were baking 
or drying; '-"^"^ ^^:^q cui; n^^i^ibL.-l .1: .;*; , 
Returning back to the Street, there are feveral Sand- ' 
hills, fomewhat like Barrows thereby, on the top of 
one of which was erefted a great flat Stone^ now fo 
far funk in the earth that there is not above a foot of 
it to befeen 5 jDut I could obferve no'Infcription there- 
on, tho unddubtedly it was not fet there for nothing. 
' EntHng then into Applehji4ane^ the Street leads thx6 
the Weft end of the Town, at which Town is two 
old Roman Games yet pradis'd, (tho very imperfedly) 
the one call'd Julians Bovper^ and the other Troys 
Walls. 
From hence the ftreet runs ftrait on, leaving Roxby^ ' 
(2i little Town half a mile on the Weft, where the 
Roman Pavement is difcover'd, that I ftiall immediately 
defcribe,) and Winterton^ a, pretty neat Town (where 
the worthy Families of the P/aces and Nevils inha* 
bit , promoters and encouragers of every thing that 
is good.
