HASLEWOOD, (Yorkshire, W.R.) on the N. W. side of Aberforth, the ancient inheritance of the family of the Vavasors, has a pleasant prospect of the cathedrals of York and Lincoln, though 60 m. asunder, and a remarkable quarry, called Peter's- Pit, because St. Peter's cathedral at York was built with the stones dug out of it. It is said that Dr. Tunstall Bp. of Durham affirmed to K. Hen. VIII. when he made his progress to York, that the country 10 m. round this place was the richest valley that ever he found in all his travels through Europe, there being 165 manor-houses, 275 woods, some of which contained 500 acres, 32 parks, and 2 chaces for deer, 7 navigable rivers, &c. and within these limits as much sport for hunting, hawking, fishing, and fowling, as in any part of England.
