But the junction of the waters, however,
is not exactly in this parish. Castle-
ford was a Roman station, called by
Antoninus, Legeolium ; and here many
coins and other antiquities have occa-
sionally been dug up. A peculiar re-
gulation of the payment of tythes was
settled by act of parliament; the rector
receives 28 quarts of wheat for eveiy
pound sterling paid by the tenant to his
landlord on arable land, and 20 quarts
for every two pounds rent on grass
land. This parish contains the town-
ship of Houghton. Entire popula-
tion, 1434.

name to the present village, but the
site of the Roman town was, probably,
somewhat nearer the river Swale: it

grammar school, founded by Mr. Sid-

the northern part: the present spacious
structure was built in the reign of Henry
