CLEVE-PEPPER, (Wiltshire) 3 m. from Wotton-Basset, is often by the vulgar called White-Cleve; though its true name is
Cliffe-Pypard, from a Cliff, or rock, and a court kept there, by the name of Pypard. This town stands at the foot of
hills, that run along the north side of the Vale of White-Horse. Here is a hill of stone, which is as white as chalk, but
much harder; and is of great use, for paving and building, being very duracle, if kept dry. In the Ch. there are 2 statues
of it; and there have been coffins of whole stone dug in the Ch. yard, which seem however to be of free-stone. The chief
business here is their dairies.
