CROSCOMB, (Somerset) near Wells and Shepton-Mallet; from which last a r. runs through it, that drives several mills. K.
Edw. I. granted it a Mt. and a Fair at Ladyday; and his charter was confirmed by Edw. III. and Hen. IV. The Mt. being
disused, another was procured for it by the Ld. of its manor, Hugh Fortescue, Esq; father of Ld. Clinton; this too is in a
manner lost, only sometimes there is an appearance of one on Tu. at the cross. Some cloth is made here, but the chief mf.
is stockings.
