HART'LAND, a filhing town of Devonlhire, diftant 
218 miles from London. It ftands on the promontory 
called Hartland-Point, which is the extreme north-weft 
part of jhe county, and runs out a good way into the 
fea; and had formerly a monaftery. In the reign of 
queen Elizabeth a bill was preferred in parliament for 
making a port here. The market is on .Saturdays, and 
is much frequented by people from Cornwall; and as 
the filhing-boats of Barnftaple, Biddiford, and the other 
towns on the coaft, lie often under thefe rocks for (bel¬ 
ter from the fouth-weft or fouth-eaft winds; the feamen 
make this their place of rendezvous, and fupply them- 
felves with provilions; nor is the town itfelf deftitute of 
a confiderable (hare in the herring-filhery on this coaft. 
The fairs here are on Eafter-Wednelday and September 
25. From Hartland-Point, the land falling away for 
lome miles makes a gulf or bay, which reaching to 
the headland, or point of Barnrtaple-haven, is called 
from'thence Barnftaple bay.

HAR'T LEPOOL, an ancient corporation feaport town 
in the county of Durham, on the German ocean, lying 
on the fouth-eaft part of the county of Durham, ten 
miles from Stockton, eighteen from Durham, twen¬ 
ty-one from Sunderland, thirty-two from Newcaftle ; 
and 258 from London. It is lituated on a promon¬ 
tory, and is nearly encompafted by the fea. It is go¬ 
verned by a mayor, alderman, recorder, and common 
council. Its charter was granted by king John, and was 
renewed by Elizabeth, but it never lent any member to 
■parliament. It has, at a former period, been very 
•ftrongly fortified ; as it is ftill by nature with a chain of 
lime-ftone rocks on the eaft and fouth-eaftTides. On 
the other parts it was defended by a ftrong wall, with 
towers, and butments 0/ well-hewn ftone, acrofs the 
ilihmus, on the north, on the weft, and pn the fouth; 
■now in ruins. Within the walls was a noble bafon, ufed 
as a harbour, where the veftels lay in perfeCt lafety from 
the unruly elements and from a dellroying enemy ; 
they could be locked in by means of large iron bars, 
■or chains, which 'opened between two round towers : 
•one of the towers is fallen, and the other is much lower 
than in its original ftate. The harbour is now choaked 
•up with rubbilh, although overflowed every tide more 
or lefs. The charter mentions Thurfday as tlmmarket- 
• day ; but it is now held on Saturday. The four prin¬ 
cipal fairs are. May 14, Auguft 21, Oftobert), and No¬ 
vember 27. Hartlepool is a large town, conlifting of 
one principal ftreet, one back ftreet, and feveral crofs 
Itreets. There are onjy four entrances into the town; 
viz. that which was the former paftage for Ihips on the 
weft ; two arched carriage-ways through the walls, one 
on the fouth, and the other on the north-weft ; the other 
a final! gate for foot-palfengers, near a ferry on the weft. 
Here is a handfome guildhall in the middle of the 
H A R 
town, where the mayor is chofen, and the other public 
bufinefs of the town tranfadfted. On the Town Moor 
are two batteries, with fome fine ordnance ; the remains 
of a friary p and the breaft-work, of an entrenchment. 
The filhing bufinefs is the only trade now carried, on 
here, in which the people are very lkilful and expert. 
Great quantities of filh are taken here, and moftly fent 
inland : as, hollibut, turbot, foies, Ikate, and feveral 
other forts of flat-filh ; alfo, cod, ling, cole, haddock, 
mackarel, herrings, whitings, lampreys, lobfters, crabs, 
fhrimps, oyftefls, 6 c c. The prefent harbour lies on the 
fouth of the town 5 the entrance is eafy, fate, and good, 
for veftels of a fmall draft, which find a fafe retreat here 
when flopped Ihort of Newcaftle, Shields, and Sunder¬ 
land. It is prefumed, that here is an opportunity of 
having one of the belt dry harbours on the eaft,,coaft. 
Hartlepool is much frequented by genteel people, for 
fea-bathing, during the furamer months, and has been 
confiderably increaling in buildings and accommodations. 
During the fummer months it is a pleafant place, and 
has feveral agreeable and delightful walks and rides. 
The profpe&s are fublime: the undefcribable cref- 
cence of the German ocean on the eaft ; a grand chain 
of Yorklhire high lands at a few miles diftance on the 
fouth; the bay between; the great extent of diverli- 
fied country on the weft ; and the beautiful variety of 
numbers of veftels palling and repalling, form a conftant 
fcene of a&ive and diverfified life. Here is a mineral 
fpa-water, which, in certain cafes, is drunk with much 
luccefs. In the reign of Edward III. Hartlepool fur- 
nilhed five large Ihips to that monarch’s navy. It is 
the next town in rank, in the bilhopric of Durham, to 
the city of the fame denomination. If we conlider it in 
a commercial light, it is reputed a member to the opu¬ 
lent port of Newcaftle, without having any creek be¬ 
longing to it. The church is a very handfome Gothic, 
ftrudture. Here is a good free-fchool, with a fmall cha¬ 
rity for the poor; and a cuftom-houle. Nearly adjoin¬ 
ing on the weft lies the village of Hart, from which the 
town derived its nanre Hart -1 e-pool. 
HART'LEY, or Hartley Pans, a feaport town on 
the eaftern coaft of Northumberland, twelve miles north- 
eaft from Newcaftle-upon-Tyne; fix north from Shields; 
and 283 north from London. This place is the proper¬ 
ty of lord Delaval, where he Ihips his coals, well known 
in London $nd elfewhere by Delaval’s Hartley-main. 
Befides his confiderable coal-works, he lias.here very 
extenfive fait, copperas, and glafs, works, in which he 
employs feveral hundred people. The exports from this 
town in one year ; were 70,000 dozen bottles, 300 tons 
of fait, and 100 tons of copperas manufactured in the 
place, and 18,000 chaldrons of coals. The harbour is 
now rendered fafe, convenient, and commodious, by the 
noble exertions of lord Delaval, who, fome years ago un¬ 
dertook, at his own private expence, to cut an inlet into 
the harbour through a folid rock of nine hundred feet 
long, thirty feet broad, and fifty-two feet deep, by 
which veftels of great burthen not only .pafs in and out 
with the greateft lafety, but, when in, lie in the utmoft 
feeurity. This undertaking not only reflects honour, 
but contributes greatly to the advantage of lord Dela¬ 
val, as well as to all the adjacent country. 
About a mile to the north ftands Seaton Delaval, the 
chief feat of the right honourable lord Delaval; which 
is a molt magnificent flrudf ure, built of beautiful ftone. 
At a little diftance is the family chapel, and near it a 
very elegant mauloleum, built by lord Delaval, to the 
memory of his only fon.
