being a long monotonous chain or ridge of limestone,
running from north to south, and terminating in two
depressed round summits; the eastern ascent is tame
and gradual, but the western rises rapidly from a deep
and romantic gill. From these hills fine views of the
sea and of Sunderland are presented; and they form
a good landmark for mariners. Imbedded in the limestone have been found fossils, and a considerable quantity of iron-ore. There are some vestiges of a Druidical
circle; and a rude sepulchre, constructed with fragments
of stone, was discovered in 1814. The tithes have been

Tunstall (St. John the Baptist)
TUNSTALL (St. John the Baptist), a parish, in
the union of Lancaster, hundred of Lonsdale south
of the Sands, N. division of Lancashire; containing,
with the chapelry of Leek, and the townships of Burrow
with Burrow, and Cantsfield, 721 inhabitants, of whom
142 are in Tunstall township, 3¾ miles (S.) from KirkbyLonsdale. This is the Tunestalle of the Domesday survey. It was early held by a family of the local name, a
member of which, Sir Bryan Tunstall, was killed in the
battle of Flodden-Field, and is called in Sir Walter
Scott's Marmion, "the Stainless Knight." The family
occupied Thurland Castle, a place of great antiquity,
restored by the present, proprietor. The parish comprises 13,840 acres, of which 1076a. 1r. 13p. are in the
township of Tunstall. The course of the river Lune
here forms a direct line from north to south, and its
banks are agreeably varied with groves and glades. The
Greta, issuing from the adjoining county of York, enters
Lancashire between Wrayton (in Melling) and Cantsfield, and after flowing to the south-south-west of Thurland Castle, terminates its career in the Lune. The
bridge over this stream near the castle was rebuilt in
1817, but was so much injured by the destructive floods
of the Greta, that it fell on the 16th December 1833;
it was restored, however, in 1835-6. The Leek beck, a
mountain torrent, rises near Graygirth fell; descends,
by Leek and Cowan bridge, to Over Burrow; and flowing over immense beds of stone, falls into the Lune west
of Burrow Hall. The road from Kirkby-Lonsdale to
Lancaster passes through the parish.
The living is a discharged vicarage, valued in the
king's books at £6. 3. 11½.; net income, £332; patron
and impropriator, R. T. North, Esq.: the great tithes
of Tunstall township have been commuted for £62, and
the small for £50; the vicar has a glebe of 12 acres.
The church is a large irregular structure situated to the
north-east of the village, comprising a nave, chancel,
and aisles, with a tower and spacious porch, all in a
nearly similar style of architecture. It is believed to be
the third erection on the site, which may have been
occupied, in the Saxon era, by one of the churches mentioned in Domesday book. The last rebuilding is ascribed to Sir Thomas Tunstall, who lived in the reigns of
Henry IV. and V. The ceiling fell down from age and
decay in 1826, but was replaced. At Leek is a separate
incumbency. Twenty-four children receive education
for about £26 a year, arising from bequests; and there
are some other small charities.

borough of Stoke, are 6978 inhabitants. This place is
seated on the declivity of a considerable eminence, about
one mile north-by-east of Burslem, and has risen during
the present century from the rank of a small village to
that of a respectable town. The population in the year
1811 was only 1677. In 1816 a market-place was set
out, and a town-hall, a neat building of brick, erected in
the centre; and in 1840 an act was passed establishing
a market, and vesting the profits in a body corporate as
trustees for the original subscribers. In 1847 an act for
paving, lighting, watching, and otherwise improving the
town, and for regulating the market, was also obtained:
the market is held on Monday and Saturday. The
manufacture of china and earthenware is extensively
carried on, there being in the vicinity nearly twenty
potteries; and the population is likewise employed in
collieries, ironstone-mines, and brick and tile works, the
last producing articles of superior hardness and quality,
in great demand in Lancashire and the northern parts.
Goods are forwarded by the Grand Trunk canal, which
has its summit level near the west side of the town, and
is conducted into Cheshire in two collateral tunnels
under Harecastle Hill, within half a mile north-west of
the town: these tunnels are 2880 yards in length.
The township of Tunstall comprises only 795 acres,
but the manor, of which Ralph Sneyd, Esq., of Keele
Hall, is lord, comprehends also twelve contiguous
townships, including Burslem. The church, dedicated
to Christ, was erected in 1831, on a site given by Mr.
Sneyd, at a cost of £4000, of which £3000 were a grant
from the Parliamentary Commissioners, and £1000 were
raised by subscription; it is in the early English style,
with a tower and spire, and contains 1000 sittings. The
living is a perpetual curacy, in the gift of Mr. Sneyd,
and incumbency of the Rev. S. Newall: a parsonagehouse has been built by subscription, aided by £400
from the late Col. Sneyd. There are places of worship
for Wesleyan and Primitive Methodists (both large foundations, with school-houses attached), and Methodists
of the New Connexion; also a Barker meeting-house.
Excellent national schools were built in 1838.
