ficiate with him in the same church. At the
dissolution of monastic establishments, in the reign of Henry VIII, the
Archbishop of Canterbury came into the patronage of the vicarage.

The county gaol is situated in East street, upon a very elevated site; it
was erected about 50 years since, by William Griffith, who ruined
himself, by contracting for the building: it is a neat and handsome
structure, and extremely appropriate for the purpose, on the South is a
small garden extending along the front of the building, which has two
court-yards, of about half an acre each, with a gravel walk surrounding a
fine grass-plot, and the whole is encircled by a lofty wall. To prevent
confusion or danger in case of fire, every cell is arched over with
brick, and a separate room allotted to each debtor and felon. The chapel
is in the keeper's house, where prayers are read daily, and a sermon
delivered every Sunday by the chaplain. The annual salary of the keeper
is 180l.: that of the Chaplain 160l. and of the Surgeon 70l. per annum:
the matron and the three male turnkeys receive 8s. each weekly: the
internal management is regulated by rules made at the quarter sessions,
and confirmed by the judges of assize.

The Independent's chapel, is situated near the end of West Street, it is
peculiarly neat, both as respects its external and interior appearance:
an inscription upon an oval tablet in front, informs us, that it was
erected by voluntary subscription in the year 1814. At the distance of
about a hundred yards from the above, is the Roman Catholic chapel, with
an embattled front surmounted by a cross: service is performed here, only
once a fortnight; proceeding on in the same direction, we arrive at the
Anabaptist chapel, a respectable building of some antiquity, a little to
the left of which is the Friends' meeting house, in a very pretty retired
situation. The Wesleyan chapel was erected in Brunswick place, A.D.
1832, it is simple in its style, but exceedingly neat, elegant, and
appropriate: the last religious edifice in Horsham, is the Baptist's
chapel, situated in New Street, it much resembles the Independant's in
its exterior appearance.
