OU'NDLE, a market-town and parifh in the county of 
Northampton, fituated on the north bank of the river 
Nen, which, making a horfe-fhoe bend in its courfe here, 
almoft environs the town. Camden, and the author of 
Magna Britannia, aftert that its proper name is Avondale , 
as ftanding in the Vale of Avon, the original appellation 
of the Nen. But this opinion feems extremely doubtful, 
as we find this place mentioned in the Domefday-book 
under the delignation of Undele. The market-day is Sa¬ 
turday ; and there are fairs annually on the 25th of Fe¬ 
bruary, Whit-Monday, and Auguft 21. Here is an ex¬ 
cellent free grammar-fehool, founded by fir William Lax- 
ton, a native of the town, and who was lord-mayor of 
London in 1544. The fame beneficent perfon likewife 
erefted and endowed the alms-houfe, and placed both it 
and the fchool under the patronage of the Grocers’ Com¬ 
pany of London, of which he was a member. The cha- 
rity-fchool, eftabliftved in 1620, owed its origin to the 
munificence of Nicholas Latham, who was for more than 
fifty years reefor of Barnwell St. Andrew’s, a village near 
Oundle. This perfon alfo founded a guild, or hofpital, 
here for the reception of fixteen aged women, who have 
a weekly allowance for their fupport. 
The church is a fpacious edifice, confifting of a nave, 
north and fouth aides, tranfept and chancel, with a fquare 
tower, furmounted by a hexagonal crocketted fpire. The 
tower difplays a feries of five ftories, and is terminated at 
each angle by a fmall ofitagonal turret. Over the river 
here are two large bridges ; one on the road towards 
Thrapfton, and the other on that leading to Yaxley in 
Huntingdonlhire. The former, called North-bridge, is 
generally much admired, not oniy on account of the num¬ 
ber and forms of its arches, but alfo for its caufeway, 
which is formed on an arcade, and fecures a paffage to and 
from the place during the time of floods. Peter Haufted, 
author of the Rival Friends, Senile Odium, See. and Dr. 
John Newton, a celebrated divine and mathematician, 
were natives of this town. 
Ini8u, the parifli of Oundle contained 362 houfes, 
and 1833 perfons, 5 . e. 821 males and 1012 females; 62 
families were employed in agriculture, and 302 in trade, 
manufadhire, and handicraft. 
About three miles to the fouth-eaft of Oundle, the 
Roman road called the Via-Devana croffes the country in 
an oblique direction from fouth-eaft to the north-weft. 
Adjoining to this road is the parifti and village of Ald- 
winckle All-Saints, diftinguifhed as the birth-place of the 
poet Dryden. Aldwinckle St. Peter’s, to the weft of this 
parifti, is likewife noted as the birth-place of Dr. Thomas 
Fuller, author of A Hiftory of the Worthies of England, 
and various other works. See Fuller.. 
At Barnwell St. Andrew’s ftand the ruins of a caftle, 
eredted by Reginald le Moine in 1132, and deferibed by 
Leland under the title of “ Berengarius-Moynes Caftel.” 
It was long the baronial refidence of the Montacute and 
Montague families, but has been for many years uninha¬ 
bitable. It ftil! forms, however, a very noble and curious 
fpecimen of ancient architefture, much of the original 
ftrudlure having lurvived the attacks of time and of al¬ 
teration. The prefer,! remains conlift of four round mafiy 
bafticn-towers, one ftanding at each angle of a quadran¬ 
gular court, which is inclofed by a wall three feet in thick- 
nefs. Three of thefe connediing curtains are nearly en¬ 
tire, but that on the vveftern fide is coaiiderabl)' dilapi¬ 
dated. The grand gateway, at the fouth-eaft front, ftill 
refrains, and is flanked by fimilar circular baftion-towers 
of fihaller dimenfions. This village contains a charity- 
fchool.
