Kent 8739 refectory, dormitory, and cloisters, extend, in detached portions, over an area of three or four acres, and are overgrown with venerable ivy. A modern mansion has been erected near the ruins of this religious foundation, and Dears its name. The town is governed by twelve burgesses, out of which number two bailiffs are annually chosen, who act as magistrates under the Bishop of Winchester, to whom they pay an acknowledgement of twelve-pence annually, and receive all profits arising from the fairs and markets. The wheat markets formerly held here were the largest in England, the tolls alone amounting to £200 a year; but it is of late years much diminished, the produce of Hampshire, Sussex, &c. being now sent by water carriage to the London-markets. From Michaelmas to Christmas there is still a good market for oats. Farnham- castle was garrisoned for King Charles, in the civil war, by Sir John Denham, high-sheriff of the county, but after having suffered greatly in a siege, was taken by the parliamentary forces, under Sir William Waller, who blew up and dismantled all the parts that remained entire. The petty sessions are held here, and the bailiffs also hold a court every three weeks, at which they have power to try and determine all actions under the amount of forty shillings.

This manor was formerly held on condition of fitting the right-hand of the king with a glove on his coronation day, and supporting his right-arm while he held the sceptre. The ancestors of the Earl of Shrewsbury, to whom this manor belonged, exchanged it with Henry VIII., but it is said, reserved this privilege to themselves and their posterity. Among other curious records in the church, is the following :—“ David Saltre gave seventeen pound per annum to buy loaves and white herrings for the poor, and two shillings for a pair of white kid gloves for the rector on the first Sunday in Lent, as long as the world shall last.” In this church lies Dr. Chandler, Bishop of Durham, without any memorial. This learned prelate was the son of Samuel Chandler, Esq., of the city of Dublin. He was appointed Bishop of Lichfield in 1730, and some years after, was translated to the see of Durham. He wrote a “Defence of Christianity,” in answer to Collins’s scheme of literal prophecy. He was also author of “ Letters on the Antiquity of the Hebrew Language,” of a volume of sermons, and other works. He died 1750. Fa rnham. Formerly the largest wheat market in England.
