OXBOROUGH, (Norfolk) to the S. E. of Downham on the r. Ouse, was formerly the Burnels, then the Weylands, the Tuddenhams,
and the Bedingfields; one of whom in the R. of Edw. IV. obtained a Mt. here on F. and to make a castle of his manor-house,
which has ever since been the seat of that family, as it is now of Sir Hen. Bedingfield. Here has been a military fosse,
where, as Sir Clem. Spelman was contriving an orchard at the foot of the hill, the bones of men and old pieces of armour
were dug up in abundance.
