VII. Letter from the Rev. Dr. Sharp, Archdeacon of Northumberland, to Mr. Cade

Extract

As far as I can judge of a subject I am so little acquainted with, I entirely approve what you have written to Dr. Kaye. You have set me right in a mistake I have all along been under; viz. that it is the Fosse and not Watling Street, that runs through Ebchester, Corbridge, Risingham, &c. This road divides into two branches on the other side of Corbridge, the easternmost of which leads through Rial, Capheaton, through my wood at Hartburn, then along Thornton Moor, and crosses the Coquet, I believe, near Brinkburn, and at last the Tweed into Scotland.
