Abbott^archbifhop of Canterbury, who,'in 1621, built 
a magnificent hofpital here, and fettled thereon three 
hundred pounds per annum, with a joint donation of fix 
hundred pounds from fir Nicholas Kemp, knt. for the 
maintenance of a matter, twelve aged .men, and eight 
women, all Angle perfons, and for the encouragement 
of the woollen-manufactory which then flourifhed here. 
To this hofpital Mr. Thomas Jackman, late an alder¬ 
man iii this borough, bequeathed fix hundred pounds in 
the^ year 1788, whereby the number of women was in¬ 
creased to twelve. 
The hall wherein the county-aflizes had long been 
held being much decayed, an elegant ftrudture, with 
fuitable offices, was built for that purpofe in 1789 at 
the expenfe of lords Onflow and Grantley ; adjoining to 
which was alfo built in the fame year a commodious 
theatre. The town draws much fupport from travel¬ 
lers, on account of its elegance and public road from 
London to Chrchefter, Portfmouth, Southampton, and 
other capital towns in the fouth and weftern parts of 
England ; and is admitted by all, from its fine fituation, 
the elegance of its inns, goodnefs of provifions, and 
genteel accommodation in general, to equal any other 
town in the kingdom. On Drake, or- St. Catharine’s- 
hill, near this town, are the ruins of a chapel, formerly 
a chapel of eafe to St. Nicholas’ church in the town. 
This chapel was built with a fort of tile, which when 
broken has the appearance of iron, and the cement is 
lo hard, that it is almoft impenetrable. 
The river Wey was made navigable to Guildford 
about the year 1656, under the patronage of fir Richard 
Wefton, bart. of Sutton-place in this neighbourhood, 
who firft introduced into England thofe ufeful inven¬ 
tions of river-locks, tumbling-bays, and turnpike-roads, 
which now, and for many years pafi, have enabled the 
inhabitants of Guildford and its vicinity to convey 
their merchandife to and from London thereby, and 
to fupply the furrounding villages on the eafieft terms ; 
as well as to carry on a very confiderable trade in 
corn, malt, beer, &c. This navigation is alfo of 
great fupport to Farnham market, corn bought there 
being brought to the mills on this river within feven 
miles diflance, and, after being ground and drefled, is 
lent down in barges to London. Guildford has a good 
market on Saturdays, and three confiderable fairs annu¬ 
ally, viz. on May 4, October 2, (which is held on St. 
Oatharine’s-hill, before mentioned), and November 22.
