BLITH, (Nottinghamshire) near Bawtree, in the road from Redford, is a great p. with a large Ch. a Mt. on Th. and Fair on
Ascension-day (which is noted for sheep) and on the 9th of Oct. Some of the Cressy's family built a hos. here, which is
now called Blith-Spittle, and is in the gift of the Ld, of Hodsack, one of the hamlets of this Town. The Mellishes have a
pretty seat here. It had formerly both a castle and a priory, of which there are new few remains.
