united previous to the time of James I. as no later men¬ 
tion is found of more than one, which was afterwards 
in the family of the Parkers, who became poflefled of it 
about the year 1706 ; and is now, by inheritance, the 
property of William Parker Hammond, efq. 
The church of Pampisford, dedicated to St. John the 
Baptill, confifts of a nave, north aile, chancel, and fouth 
porch. The nave, chancel, and porch, are tiled ; the 
aide is leaded. At the welt end of the nave is a fquare 
embattled tower (crowned with a fmalf leaden fpire and 
weathercock) in which are a clock and four bells. The 
entrance to the church, through the porch, is by a Saxon 
doorway, within the arch of which is a row of frriall 
rudely-executed figures in bas-relief. The nave is fepa- 
rated from the lteeple by a pointed arch, from the aifle by 
four low' pointed arclpss upon three pillars, two of which 
are octangular, and the remaining one is round. At the 
weft end is a gallery for fingers. This part of the church 
is lighted on the fouth by four windows. The firft win¬ 
dow is divided into two lights by a mullion, part of which 
is broken off. The lower part of the next window is di¬ 
vided by two mullions, which branch off at the top into 
fix divisions ; in this window are fome fmall remains of 
painted glafs. The third window confifts of two lights 
at the bottom and four at the top. The fourth window, 
which is above the one laft mentioned, is of later date. 
In the middle of the nave lies a large blue flab reaved of 
its brafs. The pulpit and reading-defk are fixed in the 
north-eaft corner of the nave, the former is oftangular 
and carved. At the fou'th-eafl: corner is an old pew, 
carved. The nave is feparated from the chancel by a 
pointed arch, at the top of which is a carved head ; under 
the fpan of the arch, which is clofed up, are fixed the 
Lord’s Prayer, Ten Commandments, and the Creed 5 
and under thefe is a neat wooden fcreen. You enter the 
chancel by tw'o folding-doors, painted in imitation of 
mahogany. The chancel is lighted on the fouth by tw r o 
windows, each divided into two lights by one mullion, 
which branches off at the top into ramifications. The 
eaft window is pointed, and confifts of three lower and 
fix upper lights. Near the entrance from the nave is a 
blue flab robbed of its brafles. Againft the north wall 
is an altar-tomb, once ornamented with brafs round the 
edge ; on the fouth fide of the tomb are three fliields, 
but focompletely bedaubed with that enemy of antiqua¬ 
ries, w'hitewafh, as to be quite unintelligible. On this 
tomb Hands a clieft in which the regifters have been kept. 
The afcent to the altar is by three fteps; the table is plain 
oak. In the north wall of the chancel is a round-headed 
recefs, and in the fouth wall a trefoil-headed pifcina. A 
pedeftal in the eaft wall for an image. The chancel is 
open to the roof, which is at prefent in a Hate of melan¬ 
choly negleft. The fparrows from an adjoining farm¬ 
yard have uninterrupted ingrefs and egrefs through the 
broken tiles. 
The impropriate reftory and advowfon of the vicarage, 
which belonged formerly to the nuns of Blackeburgh, 
to whom it was appropriated in the year 1377, were, af¬ 
ter the reformation, fucceftively in the families of Wood 
and Tyrrell, and are now the property of John Mortlock, 
efq. of Cambridge; the parilh has been inclofed pur- 
fuant to an aft of parliament, palled in 1799, by which 
allotments of land were given in lieu of tithes. By the 
returns made under the a6t of parliament for afcertaining 
the population of this kingdom in 1801, it appears that 
there were in Pampisford 35 inhabited houfes, 46 families, 
aoa perfons: in 1811, 49 inhabited houles, 49 families, 
237 perfons. Gent. Mag. March 1815.

capital of the province of Navarre, partly fituated on a 
little eminence, and partly in a fertile plain, on the banks 
of the Arga/ near the Pyrenees. It is furrounded on all 
iides by lofty mountains, at the diftance of two or three 
leagues. This city is laid to have been built by Pompey, 
after the defeat of Sertorius, whence it derived the name 
of Pumpeiopolis. It is a fortified town, and defended by 
two caftles, one in the town and the other contiguous, 
though without the walls. This laft place, which is the 
citadel, was built by Philip II. it is ftrong from its fitua- 
tion on a rock; it has five baftions covered with Hone, 
and good fofles; a deep marfli, of confiderable extent, 
renders the approaches to it difficult towards the fide on 
which it could be attacked. This citadel has a handfome 
tower, feveral magazines, a fquare ornamented with 
trees, and an armory in the centre of the fortrefs, which 
is round, and opens by five grand and open ftreets, which 
lead to the five baftions. Here is a hand-mill of inge¬ 
nious conftruftion, that would be ufeful in cafe of a 
fiege ; it is a large machine, compofed of feveral wheels, 
which turn five grinding-llones, with as many hoppers ; 
120 loads, or 360 quintals, of wheat, may be ground with 
it daily: it is turned with the hand, or may be worked 
by horfes. This town boafts of having been the firft in 
Spain which received the light of the gofpel; its bilhop- 
ric, one of the moft ancient in Spain, was re-eftablifhed 
after the expulfion of the Moors; it is futi’ragan to Bur¬ 
gos. The chapter of the cathedral comprehends twelve 
dignitaries, as many canonries, and forty-four prebends 
and chaplaincies. There is another chapter in the fame 
cathedral. This town is the refidence of the viceroy of 
Navarre. Its population confifts of about 2800 families, 
compofed of nearly 14,000 perfons, occupying 1632 
houfes. In this capital of Navarre the fiates held their 
fittings. The college for the inftruftion of youth is an 
univerfity, founded in 1608. Pampeluna contains a ca¬ 
thedral, three pariflies, nine convents of monks, and two 
of nuns. The city itfelf is confined and ill-built, but 
its ftreets are kept remarkably clean. There are fome 
fquares, two of which have tolerably handfome houfes, 
particularly that which is appropriated to bull-fighting. 
The commerce confifts merely of imports, and itsmanu- 
faftures are few and inconliderable. Thole of parchment 
and of leather, and another of coarfe cloth, are of little 
importance ; here alfo they make common earthenware, 
and blanch wax, which they import. This city was re¬ 
covered from the French, by the Englilh and Spaniffi ar¬ 
mies under the duke of Wellington, Oft. 30, 1813. It 
is feventy-eight miles north-north-weft of Saragofia, and
