*CASTLERISING, (Norfolk) 3 m. from Lynn, and 78 cm. 97 mm. from London, is an ancient Bor. by prescription, and was a
considerable place till its harbour was choaked up with sands, having had 2 weekly Mts. and 5 yearly Fairs, now disused;
and, tho' there are scarce 10 families in it, 'tis governed by a mayor, 12 ald. &c. and sends two members to Pt. It has
its name from its situation on a hill, with a castle by it. Here is a park, and a large chace, with the privileges of a
forest. Here is an hos. for 12 poor men, and an Alm. for 24 poor widows, both founded by the Howard's family; and it gives
the title of Baron to the D. of Norfolk, who is Ld. of the manor. There are many marks of Roman, Saxon and Danish
antiquities in and about this T.
