Banbury, Oxfordshire

Kearsley's Traveller's Entertaining Guide Through Great Britain (1801):

Banbury is a large town, seated on the river Charwell, and noted for its cakes and cheese. It was famous for the latter even in Camden's time. In the adjacent fields are often found coins of the Roman emperors. The pyrites-aureus, or golden fire-stone, is found here in great plenty. Its church is just rebuilt.

Inns: Red Lion.
