Gomersall, Great, W. R. (8) a
township in the parish of Birstall, wa-
pentake of Morley, 4 miles N. W. from

singular arrangement, the township
of Gomersall includes the village of
Birstall, which gives name to the pa-
rish, there being no township of the
name of Birstall; the numerous popu-
lation of the place is chiefly employed
in the woollen manufacture.

Goodmanham, E. R. (6) a parish
and township in the division of Holme
Beacon, If mile N. from Market
Weighton ; inhabitants, 240 ; a rec-
tory, value 12/. 11*. 8d.; patron, Rev.
W. Blow. This place, anciently written
Godmondingaham, was once the famous
place of idol worship, destroyed by
Coifi, the high priest, when Edwin
king of Northumberland was converted
to Christianity. The church exhibits
specimens of Saxon architecture, but
it can scarcely be supposed of such re-
mote antiquity, as to have been erected
by Paulinus from the ruins of the
Pagan temple, as some credulous
writers would insinuate, and who, with
a grave countenance, assure us that
the original identical font in which the
Roman missionary baptized the Nor-
thumbrian king is yet extant; but it
seems that it has been sacrilegiously
abstracted from the church, and is now
in private hands.

Goole, W.R. (8) a township in
the parish of Snaith, wapentake of Os-
goldcross, 4 miles S. from Howden;
inhabitants, 450. This village, situated
at the junction of the Dutch river with
the Ouze, from the recent extension of
the navigation, and the amazing increase
of new buildings, has become a place of
considerable wealth and importance.
