GANESBOROUGH, (Lincolnshire) 115 cm. 137 mm. from London, is a well-built T. of good trade, upon the Trent, which brings up ships of good burden with the tide, tho' it is near 40 m. from the Humber by water, and 'tis reckoned the most flourishing T. in the Co. Its Ch. being ruinous, was, by act of Pt. in 1735, pulled down, in order to be rebuilt. Here are several meetinghouses of Protestant Dissenters, with a large fine place for a Mt. which is on Tu. and its Fairs are East- M. and Oct. 9. It gives title of Earl to the family of Noel. The N. marsh in its neighbourhood is noted for horse-races. The Danes who invaded the Km. brought their ships up to this place.
