Roman relics. * BRENTWOOD is situated in the hundred of Chafford. Camden conjectures this to be the site of Antoninus's Cæsaromagus; but in this opinion he is unsupported by other antiquaries. Salmon, however, informs us, that pateræ, and other Roman relics, have been found on the military road which leads from Billericay towards Ongar: he further observes, that in the vicinity of Shenfield, a village a little to the north of Brentwood, two Roman lares were dug up. Traces of what is conjectured to have been a Castrum Exploratum have also been observed at South Weald, a small village south-west of Brentwood, and on the verge of Weald Hall Park. The form of this camp was circular; it occupied about seven acres, and was surrounded by a single ditch. The present town, vulgarly pronounced Burntwood, is a chapelry in the parish of South Weald. It is situated on a commanding eminence, on each side the high road from London to Colchester. It contains many inns and public houses; but the buildings are irregular and mean. The Crown Inn is of very ancient foundation; as, even in Salmon's time, it was reputed to have had that sign for three centuries. The assizes were once held here; and, in the high street, are the remains of a town-hall and prison, the occupants of which and prison. hold them, on condition of putting them in repair, when the assizes are again removed thither. Here is a good grammar-school, endowed by Sir Anthony Brown, in 1537. The chapel was founded about the year 1221, at the intercession of David, Prior of St. Osyth, for the use of the tenants of the manor belonging to that monastery. It is a small ancient structure, consisting of a body and chancel. Fairs, July 11, Oct. 15 and 16, for horses and horned cattle.-Inns, Lion and Lamb, Town-hall |
