MARTIN, (Surrey) 1 m. from Wimbleton and Tooting, had a magnificent abbey, founded by K. Hen. I. and an almsh. was founded
here, in 1656, by Rowland Wilson, Esq; for 6 women, to receive 4 l. a year each, and half a chaldron of coals. Here are
copper mills on the r. Wandel, with some calicoe printers; and its little Ch. is built with flints, as were also the abbey
walls, which enclosed 65 acres; but little of it remains, except the kitchen, and one of its chapels with a pulpit.
