Lughborow is yn largenefs and good building next tcV 
Leyrcefter, of all the markette-tounes yn the fliire; and 
hath in it a four faire ftrates or mo, well pavid. The pa- 
roch-chirche is faire ; chapelles or chirches befides, yn 
the towne, be none. The hole toune is budded of tymbre. 
At the foutheft end of the chirch is a faire houle of tym¬ 
bre, wher ons king Henry VII. did lye.” Loughborough 
confifts of one parifn,to which belong the two hamlets of 
Wood-thorpe and Knight-thorne, both about a mile difi. 
tant; each having its proper officers, and maintaining its 
poor. Great part of the town is the property of the earl 
of Moira, to whom it came from his uncle the late earl of 
Huntingdon, in whofe family it has been flnee the time 
of queen Mary. The church is a large pile of building, 
coniiftingofanave, fide aides, chancel, tranfept,and tower j 
the latter was built by fubfcription, towards the end of 
the fixteenth century. In the church-yard is a free 
grammar-fehool, which was endowed with the rents of 
certain lands. See. left by Thomas Burton for the main¬ 
tenance of a chantry within the church. Here is alfo a 
charity-fchool for eighty boys and twenty girls. Four 
meeting-houfes are appropriated to the Preffiyterians, Bap- 
tills, Quakers, and Welleyan Methodifts. On the feite of 
an old crofs, a modern market-houfe, or what is called the 
butter-and-hen crofs, was erefted in J 74.2 ; it is fupportecl 
by eight round brick pillars. At the upper end of the 
market-place ftands a ruinous brick edifice, called the 
court chamber, where the lord of the manor’s court-leefc
