VICAR, THOMAS FROGNALL DIBDIN, D.D.-CURATE, MICHAEL TERRY, B.A. [With a View of the North Aisle and Transept of the Church.] THE Village and Church of Exning are situate to the left of Newmarket, about two miles from that town, at the junction of two roads; of which one goes to Soham and Ely, and the other, passing through the villages of Burwell, Swaffham, and Bottisham, terminates in the high road leading from Newmarket to Cambridge. Exning is about eleven miles from Ely, and about thirteen from Cambridge. The traveller, from London, as he is about to descend the hill into Newmarket, sees the stunted but solid tower of its Church to the left, not yet quite shrouded from view by the limes, alders, and poplars with which it is surrounded. A sort of ravine, rather than a valley, (running at right angles from the high road on the Newmarket entrance,) terminates just where the village commences; within about half a mile of which, rises a spring, called Fabian's Spring, which, as it approaches the vicarage, after feeding several large sedgy pools, (almost destitute of every kind of fish,) assumes the character of a rivulet-running from south to north through the village; and, turning a mill at the southern extremity, directs its narrowed and rapid course a few miles through rich arable land, till it is lost in one of the tributary streams of the Cam. This rivulet (may we presume to designate it by the name of the Ex?) is never frozen during the hardest winter, and is remarkably clear, cold, and shallow. Its course is rapid, and it contains no other fish but that which is called the Pickerill, about the size of a minnow; yet even this diminutive "tenant of the flood" is made subservient to a sensible use.* About fifteen years ago, a man was hung for poisoning the water out of which some race-horses drank. The fact was clearly proved, and the delinquent forfeited his life. To prevent a recurrence of this mischief, the jockey boys of Newmarket come to Exning to catch the Pickerill, and put it into the water of which the horses drink.
