ERMINE-STREET, an ancient British highway, northward from the English channel to Yorkshire. It began at Pevensey, near Beachy Head; went, by Wadhurst, Tunbridge Wells, and Holwood Hill, to London; proceeded thence, by Enfield, to Royston; was crossed there by Icknield-street; proceeded, by Godmanchester and Castor, to Casterton; sent off, near Casterton, a branch, by Thorpe, Southwell, and Doncaster, to Ryknield-street at Castleford; proceeded from Casterton, by Ancaster, Lincoln, and Winterton, to the Humber at Wintringham; began again at Brough, and went, by Market-Weighton, Stamford, Easingwold, and North-allerton, to Watling-street at Catterick. It is still traceable in various stretches of its route; and is specially distinct between Grantham and Wintringham.
