BRAUGHING, (Hertfordshire) on the E. side of the Roman road, called Ermine-street, which now leads to Cambridge, is 2. m.
N. of Puckeridge, and 31 from London. Heretofore it was, next to Verulam, the most considerabie place in the Co. and is
thought to be the Roman Caesaromagum. It has still some remains of its ancient eminence; for here are the ruins of a Roman
camp, and it gives name to the deanery and H. Near the Ch. yard is an old house, which used to be given with all sorts of
furniture for poor people's weddings. They brought their provisions hither, and had a large kitchen, with a cauldron,
large spits, and a dripping-pan; a large room for merriment, and a lodging-room, with a bride-bed and good linnen, some of
which furniture was, a few years ago, in being.
