TUXFORD, (Nottinghamshire) in the South-Clay, 105 cm. 131 mm. from London, is the post and stage-T. bet. Newark and Bawtree, in the York road. Great part of it was formerly given to a mon. here, and other pious uses; but it has almost since the Ref. been the estate of the Whites, by purchase. On the 8th of Sept. 1701, great part of this T. was burnt to the ground. Here is a good fr. sc. built by Cha. Reed, and endowed with 50 l. a year for a master and usher, 10 l. a year for the boarding and teaching 4 ministers sons, or decayed gentlemen, and 20 l. more for teaching the poor boys of the town. The mayor and ald. of Newark, and 6 neighbouring gentlemen, are the trustees for it. Here is a Mt. on M. Fairs May 3 and Sept. 12. It is such an ordinary dirty T. because of its situation in a miry clayish country, that Ja. I. called it Tuxford in the Turd.
