THRAPSTON, (Northamptonshire) 5 m. from Oundle, 53 cm. 65 mm. from London, whose manor was formerly in the Veres Earls of
Oxford, has a fine bridge over the Nen, in the road to Kettering, which having been made navigable by Pt. boats came up to
it, for the first time, in Nov. 1737. It stands in so pleasant a valley, with such good waser, air, and soil, that there
cannot be a better retreat for one who chuses a country life. It has a Mt. on T. and Fair July 25.
