PETWORTH, (Sussex) 5 m. from Midhurst and the Sussex-Downs, 39 cm. 46 mm. from London, is a large, populous, handsome T.
adorned moreover with several seats of gentlemen; particularly the magnificent seat of the Ds. of Somerset, which came to
them by marriage of the late D. with the heiress of the Piercies, Earls of Northumberland, many of whom lie buried in a
separate vault of its Ch. the rectory of which, the richest in the Co. said to be worth 6 or 700 l. a year, is in the D.
of Somerset's gift. Here is a Mt. on S. and Fair on Nov. 20. In the D. of Somerset's armoury here there is a sword, which
by circumstances appears to have been the weapon of the famous Hen. Hotspur, tho' it is not so unwieldy as other ancient
swords generally are.
