There are in the town many memorials of See also:John See also:Kyrie, the See also:Man of Ross, who died here in 1724, and is eulogized by See also:Pope in his third Moral See also:Epistle (1732). The Prospect was acquired and laid out by Kyrie, who also planted the fine See also:elm avenues near the church; his house stands opposite the market house, where he disbursed his charities; he erected the church spire, and is buried in the See also:chancel, where his See also:grave remained without a See also:monument until Pope called See also:attention to the omission. Nearly opposite the town is See also:Wilton See also:Castle, which defended the See also:ford in the disturbed reign of See also:Stephen, and suffered in the See also:Civil See also:Wars, being held for the See also:Parliament and burned by the Royalists. The inhabited portion is See also:modern. Four See also:miles below Ross the important ford of See also:Goodrich probably carried See also:traffic in See also:British and See also:Roman times, and a magnificent castle, on a precipice rising sheer above the right bank of the river, commands it. The keep is doubtfully assigned to a date previous to the See also:Conquest; the important position on the Welsh See also:March led to several subsequent additions, especially in the 14th See also:century, and the castle was only dismantled by See also:- ORDER
