date of 1312, yet entire; in the church-
yard are three anch ft Saxon crosses,

much resorted to in the summer sea-
son. The parish contains the town-

lation, 980.

Illingworth, W. R. (4) a ham-
let in the township of Ovenden, parish
of Halifax, wapentake of Morley; a
ehapelry to Halifax. Here was born
David Hartley, in 1705, a physician,
whose “ Observations on Man, His
Frame, His Duty, and His Expecta-
tions,” though written with the purest
intentions, have contributed to un-
settle the understanding, and have led
to no useful result: his Theory of Vibra-
tions has long been laughed as well as
reasoned out of fashion.

to Bentham : fair, November 17. In-
gleton is pleasantly situated near the
junction of two rivers : the church-
yard commands an extensive prospect
over the vale of Lonsdale. In this
township are several of those cele-
brated natural curiosities, the Caves of
Craven; or, as the country people call
them with more propriety, coaves ;
these excavations being rather pits than
caves. About
4 miles to the north of
Ingleton, is Gingle Pot, 10 yards across,
and about 20 yards deep; at the bottom
are smooth pebbles, except at the south
corner, where there is deep water : at
the further distance of 150 yards, is
Hurtle Pot, about 40 yards in diame-
ter, and 40 feet in depth; round this
abyss, the branches of various trees
almost meet in the centre, and shed, by
their gloomy foliage, additional horror
on the yawning gulph; at the bottom
is a deep lake, in which are several
large black trout: in great floods, both
these pots run over. At no great dis-
tance is Weathercoat Cave, perhaps
the most surprising natural curiosity
in Great Britain: this wonder is situ-
