BICISTER, (Oxfordshire) or BISSETER, or BURCESTER, near a rivulet that runs into the Charwel at Islip, is 43 cm. and 52
mm. from London. 'Tis a long, straggling T. which once had a mon. and is now most noted for its excellent malt-liquor. Mr.
John Coker, the late Ld. of the manor, had a seat in that part of the T. called the King's end; but in the Mt. end, most
of the lands were the possession of the late Sir William Glinne, Bt. Here is a ch. s. for 30 boys. The Mt. is on F. and
Fairs on July 25, and the F. before and after Michaelmas-Day. Besides the ch. here is a meeting-house, and the T.
including 2 hamlets, contains about 400 families. On the adjacent plain are frequent horse-races.
