2¾ miles (E. by N.) from Hereford; containing 690 inhabitants. It is intersected by the river Lug, and the
road from Hereford to Ledbury; and contains 2036
acres, of a highly fertile soil. The living is a vicarage,
with the livings of Little Dewchurch, Hentland, Llangarrin, and St. Weonard's annexed, valued in the king's

Luke's, St.
LUKE'S, ST., a suburban parish, in the Finsbury
division of the hundred of Ossulstone, county of Middlesex; comprising the liberties of the City-road, East
Finsbury, West Finsbury, Golden-lane, Old-street, and
Whitecross-street; and containing 49,829 inhabitants.
The earliest notice of this district occurs in its connexion
with the Eald or Old street, by which term the Saxons
designated the Roman military way from the western
extremity of the metropolis, without the great Fen,
which is stated to have given name to Fensbury, now
Finsbury, and to Moorfields. The road is said to have
extended from London Wall to Hoxton, and to have
been continued through the churchyard of St. Leonard's,
Shoreditch, and through the parish of Bethnal-green,
to the Old Ford near Hackney. The southern part of
the Fen was gradually raised by various deposits, and
particularly by many hundred cart-loads of bones
removed from the charnel-house of St. Paul's, by order
of the Duke of Somerset, when Protector; whence it
obtained the name of Bonehill (now Bunhill) Fields. A
portion of the site was appropriated by the city as a
cemetery during the plague in 1665, and is now a burialground. Another portion of the same fields was assigned for the practice of archery, by the corporation of
the city of London, in 1498; it was subsequently let in
trust to Sir Paul Pindar, and appropriated in 1641 as
a place of exercise for the city trained-bands. It is
now inclosed by buildings, and is the property of the
Hon. the Artillery Company, who, during the late war,
formed a very efficient regiment, equipped at their own
expense, and who still continue to muster occasionally,
and have an armoury, a mess-room, and other apartments, forming a handsome and substantial building, in
front of which is a spacious plot of ground for field
exercise, called the "Artillery Ground." In Goldenlane was the original playhouse of Alleyn, founder of
Dulwich College; the front, bearing the royal arms, is
yet remaining. Peerless Pool, called by Stow "Perilous"
Pool, and in 1743 converted into one of the largest
swimming-baths in the kingdom, is still used for bathing. Adjacent to Bunhill-row, was the lord mayor's
"Dog-house," or kennel for the city hounds; and at
Mount Hill, near the upper end of Goswell-street, now
levelled and covered with buildings, was one of the
bastions erected by the parliamentarians, in 1643.
St. Luke's was anciently part of the parish of Cripplegate, the church of which being found inadequate to
the accommodation of the parishioners, an additional
one was erected in Old-street by the commissioners for
new churches in the reign of Queen Anne, who assigned
to it the present district; which, after the completion of
the church, was laid out in numerous streets and
squares, covered with buildings in every direction, and
has become one of the most extensive and populous
parishes in the suburbs of the metropolis. It is well
paved, lighted with gas, and supplied with water by the
New River Company. The City of London Gas Company have one of their establishments in Brick-lane, in
the parish; and there are various cooperages, breweries,
an indigo-manufactory, and a rope-walk. Since the
formation of the Regent's canal, extensive lime, timber,
and coal wharfs have been formed. The city basin,
communicating with the canal, crosses the City-road,
and forms a grand depot for merchandise forwarded by
water to every part of the kingdom; the principal
carriers have large wharfs and warehouses on the banks.
The living is a rectory not in charge; net income, £578:
patrons, the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's. The
church, built in 1732, is a plain substantial edifice of
stone, in the Grecian style, with a lofty steeple in the
form of a fluted obelisk; the interior is neatly arranged,
and the roof is supported by Ionic pillars separating the
nave from the aisles: a new organ, of great power, was
opened in March, 1844. In the churchyard are the
tombs of several of the Caslons, eminent type-founders
in the parish. St. Barnabas' district church, King'ssquare, a neat edifice of brick, with a stone portico of
the Ionic order, surmounted by a slender spire, was
erected in 1823, by the Parliamentary Commissioners,
at an expense of £12,853, and contains 1608 sittings,
of which 917 are free: the living is a perpetual curacy;
net income, £120: patron, the Rector. St. Paul's district church, in Bunhill-row, a neat edifice in a simple
pointed style, was consecrated July 10th, 1839: the
living is also a perpetual curacy, in the Rector's gift. On
the north side of the City-road is another church, completed in the winter of 1847-8; it is built of Kentish
ragstone, and has a handsome tower and spire. There
are places of worship for Baptists, Independents, Wesleyans, and Calvinistic Methodists. Of these, the Tabernacle was erected by the Rev. G. Whitefield, founder of
the Calvinistic Methodists, and in it he himself for
some time preached: that belonging to the Wesleyans
was built on the site of the City foundry (which was
used for casting cannon so late as 1715), by the Rev. J.
Wesley, who was interred behind it in 1791. In front
of the latter is Tindal's, or Bunhill-fields, burial-ground;
the dues for interments in which are received by the
corporation of London: the number of persons interred
annually averages from 1200 to 1500. Among the
numerous distinguished nonconformist divines buried
here, may be enumerated John Bunyan, author of the
Pilgrim's Progress, who died in 1618; Dr. Williams,
founder of the Dissenters' Library in Redcross-street,
who died in 1716; Dr. Isaac Watts, the poet, logician,
and divine, who died in 1748; the Rev. Dr. Neale,
author of the History of the Puritans, who died in 1765;
Dr. Lardner, author of the Credibility of the Gospel
History, who died in 1768; Dr. Gill, who died in 1771;
Dr. Richard Price, the eminent mathematician, author
of Reversionary Payments, &c., who died in 1791; the
Rev. Theophilus Lindsey, who died in 1808; Dr. A.
Rees, editor of the Encyclopædia, who died in 1825; and
the Rev. John Townsend, founder of the Deaf and Dumb
Asylum, who died in 1826.
The parochial school for boys was established in 1698,
and that for girls in 1761; the school-house, in Goldenlane, was built in 1780: these schools are supported by
subscription, and by a fund of £6500 three per cent.
consols., which has arisen from benefactions and savings.
The free school founded by William Worrall in 1689 has
an endowment producing about £300 per annum. The
Haberdashers' Company have a house and premises in
Bunhill-row, in which a considerable number of boys
are instructed. St. Luke's Hospital, for lunatics, is
noticed under the head of London. Almshouses for
eight aged women were founded in 1650, by Mrs. Susan
Amias; the income exceeds £220 per annum. Edward
Alleyn, founder of Dulwich College, erected ten houses,
in Pesthouse-row, now Bath-street. Six were founded
in the City-road by the Dyers' Company, in 1776: six
others, founded by the Girdlers' Company, were rebuilt
in 1741; and four houses founded by the Ironmongers'
Company, in Mitchel-court, Old-street, were rebuilt in
1811, pursuant to the will of Thomas Lewer, Esq. The
French Hospital, in Bath-street, for the maintenance and
support of French Protestants, was incorporated in the
reign of George I.; it is a substantial building of brick,
occupying three sides of a quadrangular area, the centre
of which is laid out in gardens. The City of London
Lying-in Hospital, originally instituted in 1771, in
Shaftesbury House, Aldersgate-street, and subsequently
removed to its present situation, is supported by subscription, and constitutes a school of midwifery, to
which female pupils only are admitted.
Lullingstone (St. Botolph)
LULLINGSTONE (St. Botolph), a parish, in the
union of Dartford, hundred of Axton, Dartford,
and Wilmington, lathe of Sutton-at-Hone, W. division of Kent, 7 miles (S. E. by E.) from Foot's-Cray;
containing 59 inhabitants. It includes the merged

in the park of Lullingstone Castle, the seat of Sir P. H.
Dyke, is a small edifice, of which the nave and chancel
are separated by a richly carved screen supporting a
rood-loft, in good preservation; the windows exhibit a
series of Scriptural representations in beautiful stained
glass, and the building contains several fine monuments.
The church of Lullingstane is demolished. Roman
bricks, coins, and military weapons, with part of a tessellated pavement, have been ploughed up.
Lullington (All Saints)
LULLINGTON (All Saints), a parish, in the union
of Burton-upon-Trent, hundred of Repton and
Gresley, S. division of the county of Derby, 7 miles
(S.) from Burton; containing 650 inhabitants. The
manor of "Lulletune" was in the Gresley family, in the
reign of Edward I.; and the church was given by
that family to the priory of Gresley, in the reign of
Edward II. The parish is bounded by the river
Maise on the south, and consists of the townships of
Lullington and Coton-in-the-Elms, together comprising 2990a. 1r. 14p., whereof 1803a. 3r. 18p. are in Lullington township; of the latter, two-thirds are arable,
and the remainder pasture, with a little wood. The soil
of the parish is partly a marly and partly a sandy loam,
on a red marly subsoil; the land is elevated, with extensive prospects, embracing Lichfield cathedral, Tamworth,
&c. Charles Robert Colvile, Esq., is lord of the manor
of Lullington, and owner of the township. The living
is a discharged vicarage, valued in the king's books at
£4. 11. 10.; and in the patronage of the Crown; impropriators, Lady Sophia Des Voeux, Lady Wilmot
Horton, and Mr. Colvile. The glebe consists of 56a.
3r. 23p., valued at £114 per annum; with a glebe-house.
The church is an ancient structure, comprising a nave,
chancel, tower, and spire; the last is high, and very
peculiar. A neat school was built near the east end of
the church, in 1843, by the lord of the manor, by whom

Lullworth, East (St. Andrew)
LULLWORTH, EAST (St. Andrew), a parish, in
the union of Wareham and Purbeck, hundred of
Winfrith, Wareham division of Dorset, 6 miles (S. W.)
from Wareham; containing 392 inhabitants. This place,
at a very early period, was in the possession of the De
Lolleworths, and subsequently of the Newburghs, who
succeeded to the property in the reign of Edward I.;
the lands afterwards came to the Howards, earls of Suffolk, one of whom, in 1588, on the site of an ancient
castle, laid the foundation of the present noble castle of
Lullworth, which was completed in 1641 by an ancestor
of the Weld family. It is said to be from a design by
Inigo Jones, and is a massive structure, forming an
exact square, the sides of which measure 80 feet, and
having at each angle a circular tower 30 feet in diameter.
The main entrance, on the east, is approached by a
handsome flight of steps, and decorated with the arms
of Weld, several fine statues, and two inscriptions commemorating the visits of George III. and his Royal
Consort in 1789. This castle, which is situated on an
eminence about a mile from the sea, was long the residence of the late Duke of Gloucester, and subsequently
of Charles X., on his expulsion from the throne of
France. Dr. Weld, the late proprietor, who was raised
to the dignity of cardinal in the Church of Rome, received many exiles of the order of La Trappe at the
period of the first French Revolution, and appropriated
to them a farm, where they formed a religious fraternity,
and remained till they were recalled at the general peace
by Louis XVIII. The parish comprises 1939 acres, of
which 331 are common or waste land. The living is a
discharged vicarage, valued in the king's books at
£11. 14. 7.; patron and impropriator, Joseph Weld,
Esq. The great tithes have been commuted for £100,
and the vicarial for £80; the vicarial glebe consists of
65 acres. The old church, a spacious and beautiful
edifice, was taken down, with the exception of the tower,
at the commencement of the present century; and a new
church, a much smaller structure, was erected in its
stead. Near the castle is a Roman Catholic chapel, fitted
up with much taste and magnificence. The sum of £56
per annum, the bequest of Mrs. Dorothy Pickering, is
distributed to twelve poor Protestant widows or maidens.
Within the parish are many vestiges of antiquity; especially barrows, in which human and other skeletons,
rude urns, trinkets, &c., have been found, supposed to
be British from the coarseness of the urns, and the absence of all Roman relics. On a lofty hill called Flower's
Barrow, is a triple intrenchment denominated the "British Camp."
Lullworth, West (Holy Trinity)
LULLWORTH, WEST (Holy Trinity), a parish,
in the union of Wareham and Purbeck, liberty of
Bindon, Wareham division of Dorset, 8 miles (S. W.)
from Wareham; containing 407 inhabitants. The village is entirely encircled with hills, with the exception
of a narrow gorge, which winds southward to the sea.
Lullworth Cove is a great natural curiosity, into which
the sea flows, through a wide gap in the cliff, of sufficient
depth for vessels of 100 tons' burthen; the landing,
however, is not good, and is often dangerous. The surrounding rocks, rising to an immense height, are singularly undermined and perforated by the lashing of the
waves, which keep up a continual and terrific roar.
The "Arched Rock," about a mile from the Cove, has
an opening about 20 feet high, through which the sea
presents a peculiarly grand appearance. The living of
West Lullworth is annexed to the rectory of WinfrithNewburgh.
Lulsley
LULSLEY, a chapelry, in the parish of Suckley,
union of Martley, Upper division of the hundred of
Doddingtree, Worcester and W. divisions of the
county of Worcester, 7½ miles (W.) from Worcester;
containing 120 inhabitants. It is bounded on the northeast by the river Teme, and comprises 846 acres of fertile land under good cultivation; the surface is gently
undulated, and the scenery of pleasing character. The
inhabitants are chiefly employed in agricultural pursuits,
and many of the females in the making of gloves for the
manufacturers in Worcester. The tithes have been
commuted for £162. 11., and the glebe comprises 3¼
acres. The chapel, dedicated to St. Giles, is a neat
structure with a wood tower; marriages, baptisms, and
burials are solemnized in it: the chapel-yard is not
consecrated, and consequently interments take place only
in the chapel.
Lumb
LUMB, a hamlet and ecclesiastical district, in the
parochial chapelry of Newchurch-in-Rossendale, parish of Whalley, union of Haslingden, Higher division of the hundred of Blackburn, N. division of Lancashire, 10 miles (N. N. W.) from Rochdale; containing 2262 inhabitants. The hamlet, which is of small
extent, is situated in a picturesque valley, along which
runs the stream or brook Whitewell; the scenery around
is bold and mountainous, reminding the traveller much
of the hills of Derbyshire. There are numerous quarries
of good building-stone, and abundance of coal, in the
district; articles of great importance to the several
woollen and cotton mills built along the banks of the
stream. The foundation stone of the church, to be
called St. Michael's, was laid by John Hargreaves, Esq.,
the donor of the site, on Michaelmas-day, 1847, and it
is intended that the building shall contain 600 sittings:
divine service is at present performed in a licensed room.
The patronage is vested, conformably with the provisions
of the act 6th and 7th Victoria, cap. 37, in the Crown
and the Bishop of Manchester, alternately. The Baptists
and Methodists have places of worship.

the township is entitled to rents, under the will of
Henry Smith, averaging between £40 and £50, which
are annually distributed among the poor.
Lumley, Little

Robert de Lumley, ancestor of the Earl of Scarborough:
it is built of yellow freestone, in a quadrangular form,
and has at each corner an octangular machicolated turret;
but the eastern part only retains its ancient appearance.
At the bottom of one of the avenues leading to the castle
are a fine basin of water, a salmon lock, and a ferry over
the Wear.

Oxford, who are the impropriators; gross income, £192,
with a parsonage-house. The vicarial tithes of the two
townships will be added to the income on the next
avoidance of Kirkham, and the value of the living will
then be about £350 per annum. The church, formerly
a chapel, was built in 1825, and is a stone edifice in the
early English style, with a campanile turret: the cost of
erection was £800.—See Clifton, and Newton.

LUND (All Saints), a parish, in the union of
Beverley, Bainton-Beacon division of the wapentake
of Harthill, E. riding of York, 7 miles (N. W. by N.)

Lundy Island
LUNDY ISLAND, in the hundred of Braunton,
N. division of Devon, 2½ leagues (N. W. by N.) from
Hartland Point, and 4 (N.) from Clovelly. This island
is situated in the mouth of the Bristol Channel, and is
upwards of three miles in length, and one in breadth,
containing about 2000 acres, of which not more than
400 are in cultivation; it is so defended by lofty and
precipitous rocks, as to be inacessible, except at a small
beach on the eastern side, where is a landing-place,
secured by the Isle of Rats. The more elevated ground,
rising 800 feet above the level of the sea, commands extensive prospects of the English and Welsh coasts; and
at the northern extremity of the island is a high pyramidal rock, called the Constable. Ruins exist of an old
chapel, which was dedicated to St. Anne. From the
quantities of human bones frequently ploughed up, and
some remaining vestiges of ancient cultivation, the isle
is supposed to have been formerly much more populous.
It is recorded that one Morisco, having been frustrated
in a conspiracy to assassinate Henry III., made this his
retreat, became the chief of a band of pirates, and for
his crimes was executed here by command of the king;
and also that Edward II., at one time during his disturbed reign, proposed retiring hither for safety from his
rebellious nobles. Morisco's castle, situated near the
south-eastern point, and originally a strong fortification, with outworks, was in the parliamentary war held
by Lord Saye and Sele for Charles I.; and in the reign
of William and Mary, the French seized it by stratagem,
and maintained themselves in it a considerable time.

large township, including the hamlets of Laith Chapel,
Grasholme, Thwing-garth, Birtle, Bow-bank, Carbeck,
and Wemergill, and comprising by computation 21,680
acres of land. The greater part is a high tract of open
moors, called Lune Forest, extending to the borders of
Westmorland. The village is situated on the road from
Appleby to Lonton, a short distance westward of the
river Lune. At Laith is a chapel of ease to the parochial church. The tithes were commuted for land in
1811, under an inclosure act.
Lunt
LUNT, a township, in the parish of Sefton, union
and hundred of West Derby, S. division of the county
of Lancaster, 7½ miles (N.) from Liverpool; containing 39 inhabitants. This small township anciently gave
name to a family which had certain lands here by gift
of Nicholas Blundell. It is supposed that the heiress of
the Lunts married into the Molyneux family, and that the
property thus descended to the earls of Sefton, whose
ancestors have been from time immemorial the superior
lords of the parish. The township lies to the west of
the road between Liverpool and Ormskirk, and is separated from Altcar by the river Alt; it comprises 430
acres. The tithes have been commuted for £72, and
