ACTON-EAST, (Middlesex) 6 m. from London, is of note for the wells near it on old oak-common, which are much frequented in
May, June, and July, for their purging waters, and for a village in the way to W, Acton (which is but half a m. from this
East-acton) called Friars-place, supposed to have been formerly a Mon. and at a farm-house in it, there is an orchard;
which, in old writings, is called the Devil's Orchard.
