MOSBOROUGH. One mile from the church of Eckington, is a township. The Wesleyans and Primitive Methodists have each a chapel. There is also an endowed school, the master of which receives £28 yearly, a good house and garden, for teaching 15 free scholars. This was a Roman settlement. Sickles and wood hoop measures are made here.
