Barking, a large market town in Essex,
situated ten miles from London, on a
creek that leads to the Thames, from
whence fish is sent up in boats to Lon-
don, the town being chiefly inhabited
by fishermen. The parish has been so
much enlarged by lands recovered from
the Thames, and the river Rothing,
which runs on the west side of the
town, that it has two chapels of ease,
one at Ilford, and another called New
chapel, on the side of Epping forest, and
the great and small tithes are computed
at above 600l. per annum. At a small
distance from the town, in the way to
Dagenham, stood a large old house,
where the gunpowder plot is said to
have been formed.

Barnet, a market town in Hertfordshire,
situated in the road to St. Alban's, eleven
miles from London, on the top of a
hill, whence it is called High Barnet,
and also Chipping, or Cheaping Barnet,
from King Henry the Second's granting
the monks of St. Alban's the privilege
of holding a market here; the word
Cheap, or Chepe, being an ancient word
for a market. As this place is a great
thoroughfare, it is well supplied with
inns. The church is a chapel of ease
to the village of East Barnet. Here is
a free school founded by Q. Elizabeth,
and endowed partly by that Princess,
and partly by Alderman Owen, of Lon-
don, whose additional endowment is
paid by the Fishmongers company, who
