BARTOW-trPO.Ji-FItjMBER, a large market-town, in 
Linednfhire, confifting of feveral ftreets, but not clofeiy 
built. It has two large churches, the one dedicated to- 
St. Peter, the other to St. Mary ; and appears by an old 
regifter to have been formerly a place of great note, here 
being feveral veffige 3 to prove that the town has been of 
larger extent. In the reign of queen Elizabeth great num¬ 
bers died here of the plague. The market is held on Mon¬ 
day ; and a fair annually on the Thurfday in Trinity-week, 
for horfes, horned-cattle, and Iheep. This town contains 
about three hundred and eighty houfeholders, and feven-. 
teen hundred inhabitants ; is aiffant from Glamford Briggs- 
eleven miles, Lincoln thirty-four, Caftor eighteen, Great 
Grimfby twenty-two, and London 167. The eafy padage 
daily acrofs the Humber to Hull (feven miles) prevents 
any great trade being carried on at Barton. There is tr 
ferry to Hefsle, called the King's Ferry., acrofs the Hum¬ 
ber, nearly oppofitc, being about two miles. Near this 
town is Thornton Abbey,, with a beautiful-gateway, which 
is effeemed a curiqus piece of antiquity. This abbey was 
built in the 12th century, by William le Grofs earl of Al¬ 
bemarle, for Auguffine monks-.
