Sevem.l Scottish gold coins, dated 1590 and 1599, were found on the beach somtJ years since, as perfect as if just coma from the mint; and Roman coins1 and fragments of sepulchral urns, pottery, and gl~s, are found .:in great profusion in the parish, particularly in a field west of the church, where the Roman camp is supposed to have oeen situated. -several • carved stones, apparently taken from an ecclesiastical edifice, were dug up in 1837 at West Caister. Two almshouses were built here in 1856 by the late Thomas Clowes, Esq., who endowed them with lA. 34P. of land, for the purpose of keeping them in repair and providing fuel for the inmates. The total cost was about £300. The parish has also the following Charities: In 1718 Eliz.
