From these hills fine views of the sea and of Sunderland are presented; and they form a good landmark for mariners.

Tunstall (St. John the Baptist)

TUNSTALL (St. John the Baptist), a parish, in the union of Lancaster, hundred of Lonsdale south of the Sands, N. division of Lancashire; containing, with the chapelry of Leek, and the townships of Burrow with Burrow, and Cantsfield, 721 inhabitants, of whom 142 are in Tunstall township, 3¾ miles (S.) from KirkbyLonsdale. This is the Tunestalle of the Domesday survey. It was early held by a family of the local name, a member of which, Sir Bryan Tunstall, was killed in the battle of Flodden-Field, and is called in Sir Walter Scott's Marmion, "the Stainless Knight." The family occupied Thurland Castle, a place of great antiquity, restored by the present, proprietor. The parish comprises 13,840 acres, of which 1076a. 1r. 13p. are in the township of Tunstall. The course of the river Lune here forms a direct line from north to south, and its banks are agreeably varied with groves and glades. The Greta, issuing from the adjoining county of York, enters Lancashire between Wrayton (in Melling) and Cantsfield, and after flowing to the south-south-west of Thurland Castle, terminates its career in the Lune. The bridge over this stream near the castle was rebuilt in 1817, but was so much injured by the destructive floods of the Greta, that it fell on the 16th December 1833; it was restored, however, in 1835-6. The Leek beck, a mountain torrent, rises near Graygirth fell; descends, by Leek and Cowan bridge, to Over Burrow; and flowing over immense beds of stone, falls into the Lune west of Burrow Hall. The road from Kirkby-Lonsdale to Lancaster passes through the parish.

The living is a discharged vicarage, valued in the king's books at £6. 3. 11½.; net income, £332; patron and impropriator, R. T. North, Esq.: the great tithes of Tunstall township have been commuted for £62, and the small for £50; the vicar has a glebe of 12 acres. The church is a large irregular structure situated to the north-east of the village, comprising a nave, chancel, and aisles, with a tower and spacious porch, all in a nearly similar style of architecture. It is believed to be the third erection on the site, which may have been occupied, in the Saxon era, by one of the churches mentioned in Domesday book. The last rebuilding is ascribed to Sir Thomas Tunstall, who lived in the reigns of Henry IV. and V. The ceiling fell down from age and decay in 1826, but was replaced. At Leek is a separate incumbency. Twenty-four children receive education for about £26 a year, arising from bequests; and there are some other small charities.

This place is seated on the declivity of a considerable eminence, about one mile north-by-east of Burslem, and has risen during the present century from the rank of a small village to that of a respectable town. The population in the year 1811 was only 1677. In 1816 a market-place was set out, and a town-hall, a neat building of brick, erected in the centre; and in 1840 an act was passed establishing a market, and vesting the profits in a body corporate as trustees for the original subscribers. In 1847 an act for paving, lighting, watching, and otherwise improving the town, and for regulating the market, was also obtained: the market is held on Monday and Saturday. The manufacture of china and earthenware is extensively carried on, there being in the vicinity nearly twenty potteries; and the population is likewise employed in collieries, ironstone-mines, and brick and tile works, the last producing articles of superior hardness and quality, in great demand in Lancashire and the northern parts. Goods are forwarded by the Grand Trunk canal, which has its summit level near the west side of the town, and is conducted into Cheshire in two collateral tunnels under Harecastle Hill, within half a mile north-west of the town: these tunnels are 2880 yards in length.

The township of Tunstall comprises only 795 acres, but the manor, of which Ralph Sneyd, Esq., of Keele Hall, is lord, comprehends also twelve contiguous townships, including Burslem.
