WOLSINGHAM, (Durham) on the Were, 3 m. E. of Stanhope, 14 m. S.W. of Durham, 190 cm. 226 mm. from London, held
heretofore, as that did, of the Bp. of Durham by forest services, &c. the tenants in these parts being obliged, upon the
Bp's. great huntings, to set up a field-house, or tabernacle, for him, with a chapel and all manner of rooms and offices,
as also to furnish him with dogs and horses, and to carry his provisions, and to attend him for the supply of all
conveniencies during his stay. The road from Barnard-Castle to Carlisle lies through this T. and the country all about is
full of lead and coal-mines. Here is but a small Mt. and the day uncertain.
