The mansion, on a verdant lawn, bordered by a shrubbery, presents a handsome elevation of fine white stone, having a noble Ionic portico, under which is the carriage entrance. Behind the house is a deer park, on a finely wooded eminence, commanding a beautiful prospect. The chapelry of Ruckley and Langley is in this parish. Seat of the archbishop of Canter- bury. Saxon bar- rows. : * ADDINGTON. Here is an antique church of the time of Edward III. in some portions, but rebuilt about 1777. The chief feature, however, of the place is Addington Park, the seat of the archbishop of Canterbury, and form.erly a hunting lodge of Henry VIII. The mansion, built at a cost of £40,000, com- mands some extensive views, and the grounds are spacious and well planted. The vicinity is rich in pleasant strolls, and green lanes and breezy footpaths abound. There are several Saxon barrows, too, upon the hiRs, well worthy inspection; one presenting no less than twenty-five tumuh, clustered together, and a high mound, the burial place of a great unknown, thirty-seven feet in diameter. A circular encampment of two acres, environed by a double moat, may stiR be seen on Thunderfield common. Old Roman ^ ADDLE. The old church in this town is one of the most perfect specimens archite™^^^ of Roman architecture remaining in England. In 1702 traces of a Roman ture. town, with fragments of urns and an aqueduct of stone, were found in the adjacent moor. • X ADDLINGFLEET. This viRage is situated very near the junction of the Trent with the Humber, which at this part is about a mRe broad. It is a parish and township in the lower division of Os-gold cross, and includes the townships of Fockerby, Haldenby, and Eastoft. Coal iiiiues. § ADLINGTON. A station on the line of raRway from Manchester to Bolton and Preston, and on the Leeds and Liverpool canal. There are several coal mines adjacent, and the inhabitants are chiefly employed in the cotton manu- facture. About a mile distant is Adlington HaR, rebuRt in 1780. Ellerbeck HaR, Duxberry Park, and GRlibrand HaR, are also in the immediate vicinity. II AD WALTON. On Adwalton moor a battle was fought in 1642, between
