Stratton Hundred
STratton Hundred extendeth the breadth of Cornewall, to the North,
as that of East beginneth it on the South, and therefore it shall
next succeede. His circuit is slender, but his fruitfulnesse great,
and the Inhabitants industrie commendable, who reape a large benefit
from their orchyards and gardens, but especially from their Garlick
(the Countreymans Triacle) which they vent, not onely into Cornwall,
but many other shires besides.
Stratton, the onely market towne of this Hundred, gaue the same
his name, and (if I mistake not) taketh it from Strata, a street:
other memorable matter to report thereof, I finde not any.
Vpon one side of the towne, lyeth master Chamonds house and place
of Launcels, so called, for that it was sometimes a Cell, appertaining
to the Abbot of Hartlond.
This Gentlemans father, late deceased, receiued at Gods hands,
an extraordinary fauour, of long life.
Hee serued in the office of a iustice of peace, almost 60.
