The antient and modern history of the loyal town of Rippon : (introduc'd by a poem on the surprizing beauties of Studley Park, with a description of the venerable ruins of Fountains-Abbey, written by Mr. Peter Aram; and another on the pleasures of a country life, by a Reverend Young gentleman) with particular accounts of three of the northern saints in the seventh century, viz. St. Cuthbert, who lies interr'd in the cathedral at Durham; St. Wilfrid of Rippon; and St. John of Beverley. The famous charters of King Athelstane, and other monarchs (given by them to the church of Rippon) translated: the various times of re-building that minster, since its first foundation: its present happy state; with the arms, monuments and inscriptions, alphabetically digested. An exact list of the wakemen and mayors of the town, to this present year; interspersed with remarkable accidents: the death of several eminent persons: in particular, some of the venerable archbishops of this See, whose tombs are partly describ'd, with proper references to the history of York, for their inscriptions and epitaphs, to which this is very supplemental. Adorned with many cuts, preceded by a South West prospect (and a new plan) of Rippon. Besides are added, travels into other parts of Yorkshire
