Extract

In Smith's edition of Bede's Ecclesiastical History of England, p. 96. are the following words: “Attamen in Campodono, “ubi tunc etiam villa regia erat, fecit (Paulinus) basilicam, quam “postmodum Pagani, à quibus Aeduini rex occisus, cum tota eadem “villa succenderunt.” This Campodonum, Camden, and others on his authority, have thought was the same as the Cambodunum mentioned in the second Iter of Antonine, which they have placed at Castle-Hill near Almonbury, in the West-Riding of Yorkshire.
