NEWLAND, (Gloucestershire) on the W. side of the forest of Dean, near the Wye, 3 m. S. E. of Monmouth, is a p. reckoned 30
m. in com. Here are divers coal-pits and iron-mines, some of them exhausted, which are 60 or 70 feet deep, and as large as
a considerable Ch. besides some copper works. The manor anciently bel. to the Kinardsleys, Harines, and Bainhams; but is
now in the crown; so that every free miner may dig in any man's ground, paying a duty to the crown. Besides other
charitable foundations, there is a large hos. in this p. founded by Will. Jones, a Hamburgh merchant of London, for 16 men
and women, who are allowed 2 s. a week each, and a gown at Christmas. Its chaplain, who is obliged also to be lecturer at
Newland, receives 100 marks yearly from the Haberdashers company in London. The late Mr. H. Hall had a seat here.
