REPORT OF THE COUNCIL FOR 1909.
The council of the Newcastle Society of Antiquaries have
the pleasure of submitting to the members their ninety-seventh
annual report.
Since the last annual meeting, one of our members, Mr.
Richard Burdon Sanderson, has passed away. Although not
actively engaged in our pursuits, he was the representative of
a local family whose interest in the history and antiquities of
the district has always been sympathetic, and his loss is much
regretted.
The council also desire to join in the universal expression of
respectful condolence which our noble president has received
upon the recent death of his eldest son, Earl Percy.
The council congratulate the society upon the completion of
a fifth volume of the third series of Arcliaeologia Aeliana, con-
taining, as usual, a number of valuable papers in the various
3 SEB. VOL. VI. 0
X REPORT FOR 1909.
departments of archaeological investigation. Among them are
an exhaustive account of excavations at CORSTOPITUM in 1908,
and details of discoveries near Haltwhistle-burn and at Alnwick
castle. A fourth volume of the third series of our Proceedings,
issued monthly to members, is in progress, containing the cus-
tomary reports of meetings, excursions, etc., with a goodly
number of contributions upon subjects and objects of general
interest. The excellent manner in which the society's publi-
cations are prepared by our editor, Mr. Robert Blair, is again
heartily acknowledged.
Excursions have been made during the year to the following
places : — (1) Heddon-on-the-Wall. with Newburn and Ryton ;
(2) North Yorkshire, including Manfield, Stanwick, Forcett,
Ravensworth, Melsonby and Piercebridge ; (3) the Roman Wall
visited in conjunction with the Glasgow Archaeological Society ;
(4) Marine house, Tynemouth, by invitation of Mr. R. C.
Clephan, a vice-president, to inspect his collection of Egyptian
antiquities, arms, armour, etc. ; (5) Brinkburn priory, with Long
Framlington and Rothbury ; and (6) Grilsland. The council
thankfully acknowledge the kindness and courtesy with w^hich
members and their friends were received by the owners and
occupiers of the places visited.
Continuing what may be termed the structural improvements
that have been undertaken by the society of late years, the
council have given much attention to the oft expressed desire
for a thorough and effective reorganization of the society's
library. The valuable books and manuscripts which have been
accumulated in past years, to which additions are continually being
made, find no apartment in the castle keep wherein they can be
properly preserved, conveniently staged and rendered at all times
accessible. Upon receipt of a special report from the librarian,
Mr. C. Hunter Blair, on this serious defect in our arrangements,
REPORT FOR 1909. xi
the council applied themselves to the consideration of a remedy.
A suggestion made by Mr. W. H. Knowles, to set apart and
furnish, at a cost of about 300/., the upper room of the Black-
gate, in which, with the indispensable adjuncts of light and
warmth, our literary treasures might be suitably displayed and
conveniently utilized, met with general concurrence. A sub-
scription list was opened, and under the impulse of our noble
president, who offered to add ten per cent, to the sum collected,
a large proportion of the necessary funds has been provided,
and the work of adaptation has begun. It is hoped that the
balance remaining will soon be obtained.
The operations of the Corbridge Excavation Committee con-
tinue to be the most important Roman research work carried on
in the United Kingdom. During the past season Mr. R. H.
Forster has been continuously on the site, while Mr. W. H.
Knowles and Mr. H. H. E. Craster made frequent visits, and
Professor Haverfield and other Oxford friends attended during
portions of August and September. Among points of import-
ance which have been established by these investigations, is the
certainty of the occupation of the site by Agricola ; a ditch, en-
closing part of the area opened out on the north side may have
some connexion therewith. In the expectation of finding carved
or inscribed stones, the neighbourhood of the granaries was
searched, and immediately in front of the south wall were found
the bases of the columns of porticos that stood before the build-
ings, thus providing additional proof of the superior character
of these erections. Most of the area investigated last year was
apparently devoted to industrial purposes. One of the ' finds '
\v;is an unusually large mass of iron lying near a furnace, and
that is now engaging the attention of metallurgists. A report
of the season's work will enhance the value of the forthcoming
volume of our Archaeologia.
Xii REPORT FOR 1909.
On the south-east of the camp of Housesteads, our members,
•Mr. J. P. Gibson and Mr. F. Gf. Simpson, have opened out a circu-
lar Roman limekiln. Further investigations, in the interior of the
north-east angle, disclosed foundations of an angle tower in the
normal position, indicating that this tower had given place to
another on the north wall where the great murus joins the camp.
The west angle turret has been excavated and found to contain
the base of an oven similar to those recently discovered at Halt-
whistle-burn and Castleshaw. Excavations farther west, on the
line of the murus at Peel crag, have disclosed a remarkably fine
stretch of wall masonry and a wall turret hitherto unknown.
Messrs. Gibson and Simpson have also conducted excavations at
the mile-castle commonly called 4 the king's stables,' at Gil si and,
but have not yet completed them.
At Tynemouth priory, the preservative operations of the
office of works have been continued. Two items of consider-
able interest, hitherto unnoticed, have been revealed and noted
by Mr. W. H. Knowles, who will exhibit explanatory drawings
to the society.
Useful restorative work has been effected at the vicar's pele,
Corbridge, by our president, the duke of Northumberland. His
grace has caused the accumulated rubbish, with the ivy and
other injurious growths, to be removed, and the walls and floors
to be put into a proper state of repair. A simple stone roof has
also been erected to protect still further this relic of the past,
which retains, in an unusually complete form, many interesting
features.
The churchwardens of St. Peter's at Wallsend having applied
to our society for advice on the matter of clearing the ruins of
the old church of the Holy Cross in that town, and the grave-
yard, from the rubbish which encumbered them, Mr. Knowles
and another member were deputed by the society to visit the
REPORT FOR 1909. Xlll
site, and following their report, the ruins have been enclosed,
the site excavated, the plan revealed and the walls carefully
pointed and covered with preservative material. Mr. Knowles,
who had charge of the works, will no doubt communicate the
result to the society.
It is a pleasure to record that the keep and gateway tower of
Etal castle have been put into thorough repair by our member,
Lord Joicey, the owner.
Outside of the society's operations, the council note with
-ati>faction the publication, under Mr. H. H. E. Craster's
editorship, of another volume of the Northumberland County
History, forming the ninth of the series. The district included
in this issue is that of Earsdon and Horton. Volume x., under
the same editorship, will deal with a more interesting locality,
that of Corbridge and Dilston.
The interest which our fellow member, Mr. William Boyd,
has shown in the preservation of old landmarks and the elucida-
tion of past events in local history is exemplified by his publi-
cation of Oliver's Map of Newcastle in 18-30, upon which he has
superimposed a map of the town as it exists to-day. To this
; id production, Mr. R. O. Heslop, one of our vice-presidents,
has contributed historical forewords, which add materially to
its value.
The state of the society's funds, the valuable additions made
to the museum, and the books added to the library, find appro-
priate record in the respective reports of the treasurer, the
curators, and the librarian, hereunto annexed.
xiv TREASURER'S REPORT FOR 1909.
THE TREASURER'S REPORT, WITH BALANCE SHEET FOR THE
YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31sT, 1909.
The number of members on the roll on December 31st, 1909,
was three hundred and sixty-seven, six of whom are life
members. During the year sixteen members resigned, three
died, and three were struck oft' by order of the council under
Statute III. In the same period twenty-three new members
were elected.
The income for the year has been 570/. 17s. 6d., which, with
the balance of 69Z. 15s. 6d. brought forward, makes a total of
640/. 13s. The expenditure has been 625/. 9s. 4d., leaving
a balance in hand of 15Z. 3s. 8d. Another member (Col. Jobling)
has compounded for his subscription. The composition of twelve
guineas thus received has been paid into the Post Office Savings
Bank to the credit of the capital account in accordance with the
council's order of the year 1890 to that effect.
Another and enlarged edition of the Guide to the Castle and
Blackgate was issued during the year, involving an outlay of
211. 4s. Qd., which, of course, will be recovered as the Guides
are disposed of. The only other item of expenditure of an ex-
ceptional nature is that of 91. 12s. paid for the installation of the
electric light in the great hall of the castle.
The Library Fund : The donations received and promised
towards the cost of removing the library to the Blackgate now
amount to 2791. 12s. 6d.

xviii CURATORS' REPORT FOR 1909.
The following is the report of the curators of donations to
the museum during 1909 :
Jan 27. By the Rev. W. GREEN WELL, D.C.L., F.R.S., etc., etc., Durham.— A
fine collection of Roman inscribed and sculptured stones, chiefly from
the camp at Lanchester, cup-marked stones, etc., etc., in all 56 speci-
mens (the inscriptions are nos. 675, 681, 691, 694-8, 705 and 711 in
Lapid. Sept.). (Proceedings, 3rd series, vol. iv, page 2.)
By R. BLAIR. —Two bronze 'yetlings' dredged out of the bed of the
river Tyne about 30 years ago ; each is nine and a quarter inches
high. (Ibid.)
By Mr. F. RAIMES, Stockton. — A silk banner, 4ft. 6in. square, bearing
the arms of Raymes of Ay den, etc. (Ibid.)
April 28. By Mr. R. WELFORD, M.A., V.P. — A bronze key, 4 inches long, pro-
bably of fifteenth or early sixteenth century date, and six late
English and foreign copper coins found in a quarry near Alston
manor house. (Ibid, page 34. )
By Mr. R. BLAIR.— (i) A two-handled jar, or small amphora, 17 inches
high, of Roman date, from Egypt ; (ii) Two scale models, each 12
inches high, of Pompey's pillar and Cleopatra's needle. (Ibid.
page 34.)
May 26. By Mr. T. MALTBY CLAGUE.— 16 lantern slides of local views, 14 of
them from drawings by T. M. Richardson and one (Newgate from the
North) by M. A. Richardson, they consist of: — Newgate from the
North ; Newgate, 1823 ; Vaults, St. Thomas' Chapel ; Black Gate ;
High Level ; North Side of Pilgrim Gate ; Austin's Tower ; South
Postern at Castle Stairs ; Castle Garth ; St. Mary's Porch, St.
Nicholas' Church; Whitefriar Tower; Newgate (outer view, West
Moat) ; Nether Dean Bridge ; Old Tyne Bridge ; Pandon Gate ;
and Magazine Gate, Old Tyne Bridge. (Ibid, pages 41-42.)
By Mr. W. PARKER BREWIS, Jesmond. — A cylindrical wooden box,
containing a number of friction matches, made by John Walker of
Stockton, the inventor of the lucifer match. A correspondent of
Notes and Queries, writes (10 series, xi, 427), 'The 1st of May was
the fiftieth anniversary of the death of John Walker, the inventor of
the lucifer match. It was while he was in business as a chemist at
Stockton-on-Tees that he discovered, more or less accidently, that
sulphide of antimony and chlorate of potash formed a mixture which
ignited under friction. This was in 1825, and a correspondent of
Notes and Queries remembers buying a box of fifty matches from him
for one shilling and four pence in 1826. They were known as "fric-
CURATORS REPORT FOR 1909. XIX
tion lights," and a box of them containing a folded piece of sand
paper for the purpose of ignition, is still in existence. Walker did
not think his invention important enough to patent it. In 1832
Isaac Holden, who had also discovered the lucifer match several
years after Walker, drew public attention to it, and the manufacture
of lucifer matches was commercially begun in 1832 and 1833. Several
years since it was proposed to erect a memorial to John Walker in
the town of his birth. ' This proposal has never been carried out.
(Ibid, page 42.)
July 28. By Miss FLORENCE EMILY TODD of Prahran, Victoria, Australia (per
Mr. R. Welford, V.P.). — A certificate of membership, under the seal
of the society, issued to Moses Aaron Richardson, 7 July, 1840, and
signed by the then president, Sir John E. Swinburne, and the secre-
taries, John Adamson and Henry Turner. (Ibid, page 83. )
Aug. 25. By Mr. W. F. ORWIN, Gateshead. — A large dark green silk umbrella,
with a staghorn handle, the wands being of whalebone. It appears

I._ Off THE MEDIEVAL OWNERS OF ESLINGTOff.
By J. CRAWFOBD HODGSON, M.A., F.S.A., a vice-president.
[Eead on the 24th February, 1909.]
When the Conquest of England was completed by the sub-
jugation of Northumberland, and its baronies and manors distri-
buted among Norman knights, the Anglian thanes of Callaly,
Halton, Hepple, three Middletons and Roddam, either by timely
submission, or from comparative obscurity, were permitted to
retain those estates, as were the drengs of Beadnell, Mousen,
Throckley, Whittingham and Eslington, who also continued to
hold their property.
It has been stated that the distinction between thanes and
drengs involved no difference in tenure ' but merely the extent
of proprietorship, the owners of one ville being styled drengs,
whilst those who owned two or three, have the more honourable
designation of thanes.'1 But the most recent writer on the sub-
ject holds that drengage was a variety of sergeanty ' distinguished
from military service by its peculiar incidents.' It appears to
have included ' attendance on the lord in his hunting, overseer's
duties in regard to less favoured classes of the population, mili-
tary help in case of need without a distinct formulation of
military service.' Thanes and drengs differed 'not in regard to
substance, but in regard to their ethnographical origin,' the
former being of English origin, the latter of Scandinavian.1*

2 THE MEDIEVAL OWNERS OF ESLINGTON.
Both thanes and drengs held by, what is termed, a servile
tenure those in the northern part of the county of Northumber-
land owed 'truncage' to the castle of Bamburgh, that is, they
were bound to carry logs, used for firewood, but, apparently, at
an earlier period, to repair the stockade of the castle. They also
paid a money rent and were subject to an arbitrary tallage.
It will be observed that more than half of the estates enum-
erated lie under the shadow of the Cheviots, several of them
being contiguous.
Eslington, which has been selected as the subject of this
paper, is situated near the southern base of the Eyle hills, where
the beautiful valley of the Aln opens out into a larger space.
The ancient tower, built by the native family taking its name
from the place, stood where the pleasant Georgian house of the
Liddells now stands, about two miles west of the village of
Wliittingham, amid an ancient demesne.
THE FIRST PERIOD, 1161-1362.
The first owner of Eslington who emerges from the mists of
the ages is Alan de Eslington i, who in 1161 was tallaged for
his lands there at five marks.3 By his marriage with Beatrice,
one of the five daughters and, eventually, a coheiress of William
de Framlington, he acquired lands in Framlington, which his
descendants continued to hold for some generations.4
He was probably father of Alan de Eslington n, who, in a
certificate dated 5th August, 1212, forming a portion of the great
feodary known as Testa de Nevill, was returned as holding one
vill in drengage by the service of 40s. a year, he was liable for a
merchet and aids, and bound to carry timber to the castle of

Bamburgh.5 By his marriage with Alina, one of the four
daughters of Roger de Flammaville, and sister and coheir of
William de Flammaville, he acquired lands in Whittingham and
T'hrunton, which materially added to the value of his patrimonial
property.6 He was dead when Hugh de Bolbec, shortly after the
year 1235, returned to the Treasurer the fifth of the eight North-
umberland certificates for Testa de Nevill, in which document it
is stated that John de Eslington i holds Eslington of the king in
chief by drengage, etc.7
The De Banco rolls of the fourth and sixth years of Edward
ii contain the records of suits brought by Robert de Eslington
against Idonea, widow of Robert de Grlanton, to recover lands in
Whittingham and Thrunton, originally the property of William
de Flammaville, which prove not less than five generations of the
pedigree. Alina de Flammaville by her husband [Alan de
Eslington n] had three sons, William, her heir, who died, s.p.,
Elias (or Else), his brother's heir, who also died, s.p., and John
[de Eslington i], who thus became heir of his brothers and
mother. John [de Eslington i] was succeeded by his son Alan
[de Eslington in], and he by his son John [de Ellington n], and
he by his son Robert [de Eslington], the plaintiff.8 By the aid

of this evidence the entries preserved in the records can be attri-
buted with greater precision to the persons whom they concern.
On the 5th of May, 1247, John de Eslington i obtained from
the king a regrant or confirmation of Eslington to him and his
heirs, rendering the foreign service of cornage, suit of the
county, and truncage to the castle of Bamburgh.9 This favour
was probably obtained at the instance of Roger Bertram of Mit-
ford, to whose charter of confirmation to the abbot and convent
of Newminster, given on the 28th of March, 1250, John was a
witness,10 and whose steward he was.11 In, or about, the year
125G he succeeded to part o>f the property of his kinswoman,
Margaret de Framlington, widow of William de la Tur,12 and his
name frequentlv occurs in the Brinkbum Oartulary. He died
in, or about, the year 1264, the inquisition on his death being
held at Newcastle, on Friday, 17th January, 1264/5. 13 His wife
was Johanna, daughter and coheir of Thomas de Pontop ; she
was living in 1279, when she was described as ' domina Johanna
quae fuit uxor Johannis de Esselington.'14
Alan de Eslington in, eldest son of John de Eslington i, had
received in whole, or in part, the Framlington property, appar-
ently on his marriage, for his wife Emma was jointly enfeoffed.15
Dying in his father's lifetime, the latter seems to have regained
possession ; for eight days before his own death he conveyed the

manor of Framlington to his younger son, Alexander de Esling-
ton; 16 a conveyance subsequently contested by his heir.17
John de E'slington n was born on the 3rd May, 1248,18 and
was already married at the time of his grandfather's death.19
On attaining his majority he did homage for his lands,20 but,
unfortunately, had disputes, and some litigation, about the
Framlington property, with the king's escheator and with his
uncle, Alexander de Eslington. In this connexion inquiries or
inquisitions were held at Framlington,21 on the Sunday after the
25th April, 1281, and at Whittingham,22 on the Sunday before
12th March, 1283/4, in consequence of which he seems to have
abandoned his suit against his uncle.23 He died about the year
1292, the inquisition on his death being taken at Eothbury, three
weeks after Easter, 1293, when it was found that Robert de
Eslington I was his son and heir, of the age of 22 years and
upwards.24
Little is known of Robert de Eslington i, or of his wife
Christina or Christiana, daughter of Sir William Riddell,25 who
long continued his widow, and was living in possession of her
dower in the month of October, 1349. 26

G THE MEDIEVAL OWNERS OF ESLINGTON.
On the 2()th of May, 1327, Robert de Eslington n did fealty.27
Relief of his lands was pardoned on account of the great damage
he had sustained through the Scottish wars, but subsequently the
claim was revived, and by a writ under the Great Seal, issued on
the 20th of February, 1333/4, his lands were distrained for relief
from the first to the ninth years of Edward in.28 Taking advan-
tage of the king's visit to Newcastle, he sought, and, on the 20th
of February, 1335, obtained, licence to crenelate his house
(mansum suum) at Eslington.29 In 1346 he revived his claim and
attempted to prove his right to lands in Thrunton which, in the
time of king John, had belonged to his ancestress, Alina30 [wife
of Alan de Eslington n] adducing a pedigree almost identical
with that set out by his father in the years 1310 and 1312,
mentioned above. He seems to have been married twice, having
by his first wife an only daughter, Christina, wife of William
Delaval, and by his second wife, Elizabeth31 (who for second
husband married Sir John Heron, knight) besides two daughters,
named Elizabeth and Isabel, an only son, George, who only
survived him by three days. Robert de Eslington 11 died
on the 7th of October, 1349. His seal, two bars, in chief three
roundels (?), remains attached to a receipt given, in 1347, as One
of the Collectors of the Aid, in a Lay Subsidy Roll.32 An
inquisition on the death of Robert de Eslington n was held at
Whittingham on the 17th January, 1349/50, when it was found
that he held two parts of the manor of Eslington in fee, and a
third part in reversion after the death of his mother, Christina,

who was wife of Robert de Eslington, his father, deceased,
Christina holding it in dower of her said late husband. Chris-
tina, aged sixteen, Elizabeth, aged fourteen, and Isabel, aged
twelve years are his daughters and heirs.33
Subsequently, in an inquisition after the death of ' George,
son and heir of Robert de Esselyngton, deceased,' who died, under
age, and the king's ward, held at Newcastle-upon-Tyne on Monday,
13th August, 1352, the jurors, after finding that he only survived
his father three days, and died on the 10th October, 1349, say
that : — He died seised of the manor of Eslington and of common
of pasture for his cattle, and cattle of his tenants of Eslington,
and of digging peat on the moor of Edlingham, and taking ten
cart-loads of wood in the wood of Edlingham, and of the service
of John de Eslington of a moiety of a knight's fee from his lands
in Framlington. The said manor of Ellington is held of the
king in chief by service of 4^. of silver payable to the escheator
yearly, and 16s. ' le stokelade' of Bamburgh. Elizabeth and
Isabel are his sisters and heirs, aged thirteen years and eleven
years.34
The findings of the two inquisitions being conflicting, the
sheriff was ordered 011 the 1st November, 1352, to summon
William de la Yale, husband of Christina, daughter of Robert
de Eslington, and Christina herself, to appear in the court of
chancery to show cause why the lands of George, son of the said
Robert de Eslington, should not be divided between Gilbert de
Heron, husband of Elizabeth, and Elizabeth, and Isabel (the other
daughter of Robert de Eslington), there being no mention of

brother.35 An explanation of the apparent discrepancy may
have been, and probably was, that Christina was a daughter of
Robert de Eslington n, by a former marriage, and that the two
younger daughters were uterine sisters of George de Eslington,
whose heirs, by the legal doctrine then followed, they would be,
as the only sisters of the whole blood. Be this as it may, Chris-
tina Delaval36 is not again heard of in connexion with Esling-
ton,36* and Elizabeth Heron, who was an undoubted coheiress, died
apparently without issue before the year 1362, when the surviv-
ing sister, Isabel, then widow of Robert de Bowes, conveyed four
sixth parts of her property to Donald de Heselrigg, the remain-
ing two sixths having possibly been in the possession of her
mother, as her widow's thirds or dower.37
85 Inq. post mort., 26 Edw. in, first numbers, No. 45.
36 Christina (or Christiana), daughter and ultimately co-heir of Sir Robert
de Eslington, knight, was married before 6 Dec. , 1 352, to Sir William Delaval of
Seaton Delaval, knight, and died on the 20 July, 1364, leaving issue two sons,
William— who in 1387 claimed the third part of Eslington as heir to his mother—
and John. Cf. Delaval pedigree, new History of Northumberland, vol. IX, p. 168.
Ma But on the 12th of July, 1387, Sir Aymer de Athol and others were
appointed to enquire into the rival claims of Joan, widow of Sir Donald de Hesil-
rigg, knight, on the one side, and William, son of Sir William Delaval, knight,
and Christiana, his wife, on the other, to a third part of the manor of Eslingtonj
and a third part of the moieties of the towns of Whittingham, Thrunton and
Barton. An inquisition was taken and it was found that Elizabeth, widow of
John Heron, had held the premises as dower of Robert de Eslington, her first hus-
band, the reversion being in the said William Delaval and Christiana, his wife,
who was daughter and heir of the said Robert de Eslington and his first wife,
Isabella. Calendar of Pat. Rolls, 1385-1389, p. 384.
31 Since the above account was written Mr. Dendy has called my attention to
entries on De Banco Rolls for 1355, roll 382, m. 172 d, and for 1356, roll 384, m. 236,
of an action brought by Robert de Bowes and Elizabeth his wife, plaintiffs, against
Robert de la Vale, chivaler, and William his brother, and others, defendants,
regarding the wardship of Isabella, daughter and heir of George de Eslington.
Isabella de Eslington, whether she were daughter of George de Eslington, as
alleged in the De Banco Roll, or nixter, as asserted in the text, married Robert de
Bowes and, as a widow, was defendant in a (friendly) action in 1363 brought by
Donald de Hesilrigge. De Banco Roll, 412, m. 24 d ; see post, pp. 54, 57.
THE MEDIEVAL OWNERS OF ESLINGTON. 11
The available evidence is insufficient to assign his proper
place in the pedigree to that John de Eslington who, on the 28th
of May, 1312, was appointed by Edward n to be constable of the
castle of Bamburgh, and who was taken prisoner at the battle of
Bannockburn on the 25th of June, 1314. 38 He may have been a
younger son of John de Eslington n, but more probably a son of
that gentleman's uncle, Alexander de Eslington. If he were the
latter then he may have been father of that Thomas de Esling-
ton, whose sister and heir, Constance de Eslington, sold her lands
in Framlington, on the 25th of June, 1354, to William de
Routh.39
THE SECOND PERIOD, 1362-1542.
Although it has not been satisfactorily proved that the new
proprietors of Eslington derived their origin from Hazelrigg in
the parish of Chatton, not far from Belford, it is not improbable
that they did so. The pedigree of Hasilrigg entered at Camden's
Visitation of Leicestershire in 1619, begins with a certain Simon
de Hasilrigg, to whom, as is stated, Edward i gave the manors of
Yetholme Corbet and Yetholme Manor ( ? Mains) ; 40 to this semi-
mythical gentleman Camden gives a son, also named Simon, whom
he styles * lord of Haselrigg.'41 Dismissing these assertions, the
earlier notices of the family remaining in the records shall be
shortly set out. In the Pipe Rolls for Northumberland there
appear the names of William Herselrig in 1187, 42 William Hesel-
38 Cf. Bates, ' Border-Holds' (Arch. Ad., 2 ser. xiv), p. 243.
39 Robinson Charters (Arch. Ad., 2 ser. vol. xxv), p. 69.
0 Camden, Visitation of Leicestershire (2 Harl. Soc. publ.), p. 15.
41 On 15 Feb. 1318/9, there was a commission issued to try Simon de Heselrig,
with a large number of Northumbrians, who were charged, by the earl of Richmond,
with having raided Aldborough and other manors in Yorkshire. Cal. Pat. Rolls,
1317-1321, p. 359.

briggie in 124S,43 and, again, William Heserlrith in 1272,'
which entries may possibly relate to this family, but as the sur-
name does not occur in Testa de Nevill, no weight can be attached
to these isolated notices.
In the fourteenth century, however, there are notices which
may confidently be applied.
William de Hesilrig on the 25th March, 1315, obtained a
grant from Richard Kellawe, bishop of Durham, of lands and
tenements at Cambois in Bedlingtonshire, which had formerly
belonged to Thomas Chaunceler, to hold to him and his heirs.45
Of this grant he obtained, 16th November, 1316, from the king
at York, an inspeximus and confirmation.46 He was dead be-
fore the 14th March, 1318/9, 47 when his son, John de Heselrig,
petitioned the king for redress. He stated that his late father,
William de Heselrig, had acquired the manor of Akeld in Glen-
dale from Nicholas de Graham (died 1306), and Mary, his wife,
(a minor in 1292), who was grand-daughter, and eventually one
of the coheirs of Robert de Muschamp ; that at his father's death
he was a minor, that he entered on the estate, was peaceably
seised for two years, when Henry de Prendirgest unjustly
disseised him.48
This John de Hesilrygg, or Hesilrig, an active soldier, had a
share in the capture of Gilbert de Middleton (in 1317) ; he was
also present at the ' descomfiture ' of Stirling (in 1304), where

leased by the payment of a ransom of 200 marks. On regaining
his liberty, he found he was ' brought very low,' having lost the
profits, for five years, of his lands in Northumberland, worth, it
would seem, 40 marks per annum ; about the year 1319 he peti-
tioned the king for recompense for the 600 marks at which he
estimated his losses.49 He was again a suppliant in 1329 for the
restoration to him of the fourth part of the manor of Akeld, which
the king's escheator had seised when Sir Henry de Prendregest
joined the Scots.50
In 134G another William de Heselrig was in possession of the
vill of Fawdon, near Newcastle, one third part of Gosforth, one
sixth part of Kenton, and apparently a moiety of Dinnington.51
In 1349, 1356, and 1369 he, or another of the name, was an
attesting witness to deeds relating to Plessey.52 In 1350 Thomas
de Heselrigg, son of Symon de Heselrigg, was party to a deed,
and about the same year, Thomas de Heselrigg, lord of Hesel-
rigg, William, son of Symon de Heselrigg, Thomas, son of
Symon de OSeselrigg, John de Heselrigg of Sheepwash, with
others, were mentioned in another deed, also relating to the
manor of Plessey.53 The fact that the name of Thomas, son of
William de Heselrig, is placed in remainder to that estate, sug-
gests that he was a kinsman of Eoger de Widdrington, who
acquired Plessey about the year 1350. 54

long before escheated by John de Weteslade, who had joined the
Scots together with Gilbert de Middleton.55 This William de
Heselrig was a brother— whether elder or younger does not
appear— of Sir Donald de Heselrigg, who by merit and influence
obtained marks of royal favour. The latter took to wife a damsel
of the chamber of good queen Philippa, sometimes described as
Joan de Wauton, but more correctly Joan de Bredon. On the
25th of June, 1359, she had a grant for her life, by letters patent,
of 10/. per annum, charged on the issues of the county of North-
ampton,56 of which grant, she, on the 20th July, 1377, being
then wife of Donald de Heselrig, obtained an inspeximus and
confirmation.57
About the year 1362, Donald de Heselrigg58 purchased Es-
lington from Isabella, widow of Robert de Bowes, under the
terms disclosed in an inquisition taken in Newcastle on Thurs-
day, 7th April, 1401, and gave her a recognisance, for 1000
marks, dated 17th August, 1362. 59 After completing his pur-
chase, Sir Donald conveyed the property to Sir Thomas Surtees,
knight, Hugh Westwick, and Edmund Heselrigg, in trust for
himself and his wife in conjunct fee, and for the heirs of
Donald.60

Donald de Hesilrigg was appointed a commissioner of array
for the North Riding of Yorkshire, 1st July, 1377. 61 At the
assizes, 3rd December, 1378, he brought an action against Sir
William Heron, knight, and John Heron his son, whom he
charged with breaking his house at Whittingham, felling and
carrying away his trees, depasturing his corn and grass, there
and at Thrunton, and with assaulting his servants.62
Donald de Heselrigg died on the Sunday after Easter, 1385,
leaving William Heselrigg, his brother and next heir, aged sixty
years.63 Under the settlement mentioned above, Joan, or
Joanna, his widow held Eslington for her life.64 She also held
Brotherwick under similar conditions.65 She used her influence
at court to obtain, 2nd July, 1389, ' in consideration of her good
services to the king's father and mother,' a grant for life of 20
marks a year out of the issues of the county of York, and also
remission during her life of the following charges out of Esling-
ton, viz : of 41. per annum for the farm of the vill, 14d. a year
for cornage, 3s. a year for suit to the county court, and of 16s.
a year payable to Bamburgh castle for truncage.66 A well-
dowered widow, dame Joan, lived until the 21st December, 1400,
when she died at York. By her will, made on the 1st and
proved on the 31st of that month, she left many legacies of money
and jewels to her friends, chaplain, and servants, and also to
the convent of Yarm and other religious foundations in York-
shire.67 As will be seen from the following abstract of the
inquisition taken at the castle of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, on
Thursday, 7th April, 1401, John de Wauton was her heir: —

The jurors found that Robert de Esselyngton was formerly seised of the
manor of Esselyngton and a moiety of the vills of Whityngham, Throunton
and Barton, and took a wife named Elizabeth and had issue George,
Elizabeth, and Isabel. At the death of Eobert the premises descended to
George his son and heir, who died childless, and the premises descended to
Elizabeth and Isabel, his sisters and heirs, as appears in the inquisition held
after his death. Afterwards the said Elizabeth, widow of the said Eobert,
married John Heron, knight, and after the death of the said George she
obtained as dower, in the chancery of Edward in, a third part of the
premises with reversion after her death, to the said Elizabeth and Isabel
as sisters and heirs of George. Afterwards Isabel granted to Donald
Hesilrygge, a moiety of the two parts of the manor of Esselyngton, and a
moiety of the said vills by fine levied in the court of Edward in, and also the
reversion after the death of Elizabeth, wife of John Heron, of the moiety
belonging to Isabel, of the said third part of the premises ; by virtue of which
fine John Heron, husband of Elizabeth, atturned to Donald. Donald
[Hesilrygge] granted his said moiety to Thomas Surtes, knight, Hugh
Westwyk and Edmund Hesilrygge, and John Heron atturned to them.
Thomas [Surtes] Hugh [Westwyk] and Edmund [Hesilrygge] granted by
charter their said moiety to the said Donald [Hesilrygge] and Joan his
wife, and the heirs of Donald, and John Heron atturned to Donald and Joan.
Afterwards Elizabeth, sister and other heir of George, died seised of her
moiety of the premises which on her death descended to Isabel as her sister
and heir, Elizabeth having died childless. Isabel granted the same, by fine
levied in the court of Edward in to Donald [Hesilrygge] and Joan and the
heirs of Donald, and John Heron atturned to Donald and Joan.
Joan [PJohn] Warton holds of Donald [Hesilrygge] and Joan, as of the.
manor of Esselyngton, lands in Framlyngton by service of 40<i. yearly, the
reversion of the lands, after the death of John, belonging to John Midylham
and Ealoner his wife and the heirs of Ealoner as in her own right.
The said Elizabeth, wife of John Heron, died and her third part reverted
to Joan [Hesilrygge] to hold for life after the death of Donald.
Donald died childless and William Hesilrygge was his brother and heir,
to whom Thomas Hesilrygge is son and heir aged thirty years and more.
Joan [Hesilrygge] died seised of the whole manor of Esslyngton in form
aforesaid, held of the king in chief by service of six marks payable to the
sheriff and 16.?. to Bamburgh castle for truncage.
She died seised of the moiety of the vills of Whityngham, Throunton
and Barton held of the king in chief by service of 40c?. yearly payable to the
sheriff.
The premises are worth yearly clear, 40s. and no more nowadays on
account of the destruction of the Scotch.
She died seised of a yearly rent of 40c?. from lands in Framlyngton
which John Warton holds for life with reversion as above said.

She died on the feast of St. Thomas Apostle in December, 2 Hen. iv
[21 Dec., 1400]. John Wawton is her kinsman and heir, aged thirty years
and more. 68
Sir Donald Heselrig's brother William was born circa 1325
and, as already mentioned, possessed property at Dinnington,
Fawdon, Gosforth, Kenton, and at South "Weteslade. He was
knight of the shire in 1375 and again in 1377, 69 and by letters
patent, granted 1st July, 1377, was appointed to be a com-
missioner of array for Northumberland.70 He was alive in 1389,
when he and his son, John Hesilrig, were appointed, by William
Swinhoe, to be his attorneys to put Sir George Heron, knight,
into possession of premises in Newcastle.71 Whether the father,
William, or the son, John, died first, has not been ascertained,
but in the inquisition taken 7th April, 1401, Thomas Hesilrygge,
aged 30 years and upwards, was found to be son and heii of
Thomas, as Thomas was brother and heir of Donald, and there-
fore under the provision of the various family settlements, was
seised of Eslington. His name appears in the list of the f ortalices
in Northumberland in 1415, as owner of the tower of Eslington.73
Through a fortunate marriage with Isabel, eldest daughter
and coheir of Margaret, wife of Sir Eoger Heron, Thomas Hesel-
rig (or his son), obtained the manor of Noseley in Leicestershire,
which ever since has remained in the possession and is the seat
of the family.74

in chief by service of six marks yearly, payable by (sic) the sheriff and 16.s. to
Hamburgh castle for truncage. It is worth yearly, clear 60*. and no more on

church with such pomp and circumstance as served him in good
stead when he was called on to prove his age at an inquisition
taken within the castle of Newcastle on the 22nd March, 1428/9.
Amongst the people assembled in the church for the ceremony,
or who had good cause to remember the occasion, was Tames Buk,

He was seised of the manor of Eschlyngton and of moieties of the vills of
NYhvttyngham, Thrownton, and Berton, and by charter, shewn to the jurors,
dated 3rd March, 1454/5, granted the premises to John Collenwod and Robert

Edmund Hesylrigge of all his lands, to the intent that they should enfeoff
hi* right heir thereof, when he should come to the full age of twenty one
yoars. The jurors say that this enfeoffment was made through fraud and
collusion in order that the king might be excluded from the wardship of the
heir. He died 25th February, 1473/4. Thomas Hesylrygge is his son and

William Hesylrigge, son of Thomas Hesylrigge, esquire, married
Elizabeth Staunton, daughter of Thomas Staunton, esquire, the marriage
settlement being dated Thursday, 13th July, 1458.81
Thomas Heselrig m was born circa 1464, and became an
esquire of the body to king Henry vm.82 No record has been
found of visits to his Northumbrian estates and, very probably,
when not on duty at the court, he resided at his Leicestershire
home at Noseley. In the list of Northumbrian holds, drawn up
in 1509, it is stated that Eslington, belonging to ... Heselrig,
and inhabited by Eobert Collingwood, was suitable for a garri-
son of twenty horsemen ; 83 and when Leland visited Northum-
berland about 1538, he wrote in his note-book that Hasilrig of
Northamptonshire (corrected, in the margin of the MS., but in
another hand, to Leicestershire) held in the county, lands worth
50/. per annum, and that at Eslington he had a ' pratie pile,' in
which one of the Collingwoods dwelt, who had the oversight of
the said Mr. Hasilrig's lands.84 In Bowes and Ellerker's well-
known ' View of the Castles, etc., in the East and Middle
Marches,' drawn up in 1541, it is stated that ' at Elslyngton ys a
toure with a barmekyn of the inherytaunce of one . . . Hesle-
rygge, esquier, and in the tenor and occupaco'n of Eobt. Col-
lingewood, esquir, who kepeth the same in good repac'ons.'85 In
the following year, 1542, Bertinus Haslerigg, with the consent of
his son Miles Haslerigg, sold his property of Eslington, Whit-
tingham, Thrunton, and Barton, to his tenant (and brother-in-
law) Eobert Collingwood.86

THE LATER OWNERS OF ESLINGTON. 21
With the alienation of Eslington this review of the history of
the Heselrigg family should have ceased, were it not that some
indefinite interest in the estate seems to have been retained,
and, in the middle of the seventeenth century, claims were set up
by Sir Arthur Heselrigg which led to some litigation.
Bertinus, otherwise Bartholomew, Heselrigge of Noseley, the
seller of Eslington, having survived his eldest son, died 30th
July, 1565. An inquisition was taken at Corbridge on the 31st
March, 1566, when it was found that: —
The said Bartholomew [Heslerigge] and Miles Heslerigge, his son and
heir apparent, were seised for life of lands in Fawdoun, Keynton, Est
Brunton, West Brunton, Dunyingtoun, Weiteslade and Blackeden, county
Northumberland, of the yearly value of 281. with reversion in fee simple to
Miles.
Miles died 18th November, 1544,, and Bartholomew remained seised of the
premises for life with reversion to Thomas Heslerigge, son and heir of Miles.
Bartholomew [Heslerigge] died 30th July last, and the premises remained
to the said Thomas, who is now seised thereof, and is aged 24 years and more.
The premises in Kynton, Fawdoun and Bruntoun Est are held of Lionard
Dacre, esquire, as of his manor of Whalton by service of socage and 12rf. rent.
The premises in Weitslade and Blackden are held of Thomas Lord Dacre,
as of his manor of Morpethe by service of socage and rent of 6d.
The premises in Dunyngton are held of Thomas Earl of Northumberland,
as of his manor of Metford, by service of socage and 4d. rent.
The premises in Brunton West are held of Henry Earl of Westmoreland,
as of his manor of Bywell, by service of socage and 7d. rent. 87
He was succeeded by his grandson, Thomas Heselrigg iv,
who, dying on the 31st May, 1600, was buried at Noseley. By
his wife, Ursula, daughter of Sir Thomas Andrews of Char-
whelton in Northamptonshire, he had issue a daughter, and an
only surviving son, also named Thomas.
Thomas Heselrigg v was educated at University College,
Oxford, at which he matriculated in 1582 at the age of 17. He
was knighted by king James i on the 19th of June, 1608, was
high sheriff of Leicestershire in 1612, was created a baronet on

the shire in the parliaments of 1014 and 1624. He died at the
age of sixty-six on the lltli January, 1029, and was buried at
Xoseloy under a magnificent tomb, rich in heraldry, and with full
length effigies of his wife and of himself. The epitaph records
that he was ' trusted with the places of the greatest honor and
power in the county,' whilst his wife ' adorn'd her family with
fine cloth of her owne spining.'8*
Sir Thomas Hesilrigg, knight and baronet, died at Alderton,
Northamptonshire, on the 20th January, 1029/30, and in the
inquisition taken at the castle of Xewcastle-upon-Tyne, on the
21st August, 1032, it was found that: —
The said Thomas [Hesilrigg] was seised of the manors, townships and vills
of Fawden, Dunington, East Burneton, West Burneton and Weytslade, a
fourth part of the vill of West Burneton, a moiety of the manor of Thronton,
two husbandlands in Blackden and certain lands within the vill of Kinton.
(Also of lands in the counties of Northampton and Leicester.)
In consideration of a marriage to be had between Arthur Hesellrigg, then
son and heir apparent of the said Thomas, and Frances Elmes, one of the
daughters of Thomas Elmes of Greenes Norton, co. Northampton, esq., for
3,000/., marriage portion of Frances, by fine in Easter term 22 James i and by
indenture to limit the uses of the fine dated 10th April, 1621, between the said
Thomas Hesellrigg and the said Thomas Elmes, Arthur Hesellrigg and
Frances Elmes, and Thomas Dacres, knight, and William Elmes, esq., Thomas
[Hesilrigg] conveyed the premises to Thomas Dacres and William Elmes in
trust to the uses specified ; as to the premises in Northumberland to his own
use for life, and then to the said Arthur Hesellrigg, and his heirs male, and on
failure of such issue to his [Thomas's] own right heirs.
The said Thomas [Hesilrigg] died 20 January, 1629/30, at Alderton, co.
Northampton.

George Collingwood of Dawdon, co. Durham, esq., and George Collingwood
his son have taken the issues of the premises in Northumberland, since the
death of Thomas [Hesilrigg], by what title the jurors know not.
Arthur Hesellrigg, baronet, is son and heir of Thomas, and at the time of
his father's death, was aged 22 years and more. 89
Sir Thomas Heselrigg was succeeded by his eldest surviving
son, Sir Arthur Heselrigg, second baronet, the great man of the
family. As excellent biographies are accessible in Mr. Welford's
Men of Mark, the Dictionary of National Biography, etc., nothing
need here be said of his career. A man of great influence in the
Commonwealth, he availed himself of the opportunity afforded
by the delinquency of Cuthbert Collingwood of Eslington, to set
up a claim to Eslington, Whittingham, Barton, and Thrunton.
An account of some of the things which happened is given in a
contemporary manuscript preserved in the British Museum,

THE LATER OWNERS OF ESLINGTON. 27
THE THIRD PERIOD, 1542-1715.
The origin of the Colliiigwoods who acquired the fee simple
of Eslington in 1512 is not well ascertained. An early mention
of the family is to be found in Feudal Aids, where it is recorded
that in 1'54() William Collaynwode, or Coulanwode, and Alice,
his wife, held lands in Wooler in right of the said Alice.93 And
in the La ing collection of charters in the university of Edinburgh
there is a deed given on the 4th of September, 1450, under which
John Collenwode was to give seisin to Roger Folbery of all his
lands and tenements in the town of Folbery. The seal is still
attached to the deed, but unfortunately the charges and legend
are defaced.94.
As an elaborate pedigree of the family of Collingwood of
Eslington and of Dalden in the county of Durham — which latter
estate was obtained by Sir Cuthbert Collingwood, grandson of
the purchaser of Eslington, in marriage with Dorothy, daughter
and coheiress of Sir George Bowes of Dalden, knight — is given
by Mr. Surtees,95 it is only necessary to say that after having to
compound for their estates confiscated for delinquency during the
Civil War,96 they lost them, irretrievably, by adhering to James
n, and by supporting his son in the Rebellion of 1715. The
Eslington and Whittingham estate was purchased in 1718 by
Sir Henry Liddell, third baronet, of Ravensworth.97 His son,
Sir Henry Liddell, the fourth baronet, took down the mansion of
the Collingwoods, and on, or near, its site built the present
house, which in its original form was completed by the year
17-30.

APPENDIX II.
A shorte relacion of the passages betweene Sir Arthur Heslerigg and Mr.
Collingwood as alsoe Mr. Stapleton99 on behalfe of the Common Wealth,
touchinge the Title of the Mannour of Eslington and other Lands in
the County of Northumberland beinge an Introduccion to the late
unparraleld ryotts there about his takinge and deteyninge possession
of the said Mannour in a hostile manner.'
Theis Mannours and Lands ever since the time of Hen. 6th have byn in the
Collingwoods possession and in H. 7th tyme was a Marriage betweene them
and a daughter of Heslerigg and purchaste from Heslerigg by Collingwood
in the 34th of H. 8th and dyeinge seized in fee found in the Collingwoods by
Offices for 5 descents since the purchase, and before that purchase found
but after left out of all Heselrigg's offices.
That Notwithstandinge Sir Arthur's father had in the Court of Wards
upon his Oath disclaymed all title to the premisses and sett forth a good title
in the Collingwoods yet sir Arthur takinge the Advantage of his great power
when hee was Comander in Cheiffe in the North procured a Tryall upon 10
dayes notice att Newcastle upon Tyne before Mr. Justice Puleston then Judge
of Assize and a Verdict for a Messuage and 5 acres parcell of the premisses.
But Collingwood before the Tryall applyed to Sir Arthur and told him that
by reason of the late Warres hee had neither Counsell nor Evidence nor could
procure them att soe short a Warninge. All which was made out upon Oath
99 Brit. Mus. Sloane MS. 972, folio 23. Mr. Stapleton, whose Christian name
was Robert, may be identified with some probability with Robert, second son of
Bryan Stapleton, of Mitton, Yorks., born circa 1618, educated at St. Edmund's
Hall, Oxford ; M.P. for Boroughbridge in 1639. Of. Dugdale, Visitation of York-
shire, ed. Clay, vol. i, p. 177.

att and after the said Tryall but yet could not gett a stopp thereof nor
obteyne a New Tryall therein and though the estate was then under
Sequestracion for the supposed delinquency of Collingwood yet was not the
Commonwealth made party or privy to the said Tryall nor by any Order
Consentinge thereunto. And a writt of Errour being brought upon the said
Verdict hee procured the Act to passe against all writts of Errour alleadging
this care when hee moved the act in the Parliament. Upon which Verdict for
5 acres Sir Arthur procured a Committee of his Fellow-members in the yeare
1644 by their order to take off the Sequestracion and give him possession of
the wholle Estate beinge severall Mannours and Towneshipps and above
[tpace leff] Thousand acres and worth 500?. per annum although Collingwood
att his greate chardge by Counsell made appeare to them the Carriadge att the
.said Tryall and that the Verdict was but for 5 acres and that the wholle
depended not upon one Title and how much the interest of the Common
Wealth was concerned and therein urginge it to bee against the practizes of
all Courts and tymes to give possession of any more then what was
recovered.
Upon this order hee tooke and kept the possession of the wholle untill that
Collingwood beinge putt into the 3d. Act for Sale for flyinge from the then
fury of the Scotts into a Garrison (though never otherwayes in armes) in the
yeare 1653 a discovery was made by one Overton of theis Mannours as the
Estate of Collingwood but unjustly withheld from the Common Wealth by
Heslerigg and a title was made out to the Trustees for sale of delinquents
estates on the behalfe of the Common Wealth which beinge presented by them
to the Commissioners for removinge obstruccions upon solemne hearinge and
debatinge the busines before them by Counsell on both sides they adjudged
and declared that there was a good title in the Common Wealth, but in,
respect of the former Verdict they ordered a New Tryall att the Common
Pleas barr to bee had upon the matter of right betweene Heslerigg and the
Trustees upon Collingwood's title. 101
Accordingly in Easter Terme 1656 a Tryall was there had by a Jury of
Northamptonshire a County of Sir Arthurs owne naminge by agreement with
the Trustees and all of them Knights and Esquires and persons of knowne
worth and integrity (amongst whom the Lord Cleypoles father was one) and
after a longe and solemne debate a Verdict was given against Sir Arthur's
itle and Sir Arthur havinge solemnly promised and engaged to the Trustees
:o acquiesce in this Tryall Mr. Stapleton (with an intent of procuringe some
maintenance for the many children of Collingwood) bought the
01 1656. April 24. The Treason Trustees notify the Committee for Seques-

discoverer's interest and then purchast of the said Trustees the said Mannours
and Lands, paid in his first moyety and had theire Order to receive possession
and rents and all the Tenants thereupon attorned except one or 2 att most
whereby hee had a quiett possession.
But Sir Arthur forgetting his Engagement to the Trustees to acquiesce in
the said Tryall beganne to prosecute multiplicity of accions and by all wayes
possible to obstructe Mr. Stapleton in his said purchase and combininge with
one Ogle Tenant to the house and demeasnes of Eslington (whoe served as
foreman of the Jury att Mr. Stapletons Court) the said Ogle and his Complice
with pistolls cocked and swords drawne forcibly thrust Mr. Stapleton's
servants and agents out of the house and kept and still keepes the same for
Sir Arthur in a warlike posture whereupon Mr. Stapleton applyed himselfe to
his highness whoe was pleased to referre it to the Lord Charles Howard and
others to examine and certify the particulers to his Highnes with their
opinion.
And they callinge the parties before them the 10th of August last certified
the matter of fact to bee truth and that in theire opinion it tendeth much
to the prejudice of Mr. Stapleton's interest.
That though Sir Arthur had notice of this peticion to and refference
from his Highness yet hee the 15th of the said moneth of August came to
Eslington attended with armed men and noe sooner alighted from his horse
but imediately hee beganne to threaten the Tenants of Eslington with killinge
theire cattle and burninge theire houses unles they would acknowledge him
for Landlord and become his Tenants and pay him Rent and called them all
rogues. To which one of the Tennants reply ed they were honest men tellinge
him if hee should doe all unto them that he threatened and not leave them
worth a groate hee would begg to my Lord Protectour on his knees for
Law against him. Whereupon Sir Arthur replyed ' My Lord Protectour, My
Lord kis&e my arse.'
On Munday next after beinge the 17th of August hee sent about 20 men
horse and foote armed with swords and pistolls firelocks musquetts and pikes
out of Eslington house which hee hath made a garrison and did then and
there with force of armes in a violent manner seize of 55 beasts of William
Reeds of Clinch one of Mr. Stapleton's Tennants in Eslington Lordsliipp and
brought the said goods towards Eslington house neare which place Sir Arthur
and his sonne and one Thomas Ogle all armed with swords or pistolls mett
them and the Tennants followinge the said goods the said armed persons
wounded John Smith one of the said Tenants and beate others of them and
deteyned the said goods forcibly.
About an hower after the takinge of the said goods one Mr. WTilliam
Clennell Mr. Stapleton's Attorney and agent hearinge thereof (unarmed and
in a very peaceable manner) went to demaund of Sir Arthur the reason of these
proceedings whoe answered Mr. Clennell that Mr. Stapletou had noe right

there and holdinge a double pistoll in his hand (divers of his Company beinge
armed with the like weapons) said to Clennell that was att his service and
inquired for Mr. George Collingwood wishinge hee were there and then (said
hee) wee shall have the blood of gentlemen for the blood of gentlemen the
said Wm. Clennell replyed in a very peaceable manner that he came not with
any intent to fight but hoped the Comon Wealth would make good theire
interest in that estate it beinge conveyed by theire Trustees of Drury-house.
Sir Arthur then answered that those Trustees would sell any man's estate
but neither warrant title nor give possession.
Sir Arthur then asked Wm. Clennell if hee did intend to ryde and
proclaime the fayre att Whittingham hee replyed that hee did whereupon
Sir Arthur told him in a most passionate manner 'I will ryde the fayre or
leave my blood upon the place ' and to make his wordes good Musquetts pikes
and other armes were brought to him to Eslington house in the night time
hee had alsoe forces out of the Countye of Durham and from Hexamshire
from Fawden Lordshipp, Mr. Wm. Hesleriggs Tennants of Swarland, Mr.
Henry Ogle's Tenants of Eglingham (late Captaine of the Militia Troope) and
divers of the Militia Troope under his Command. In all to the number of
200 or thereabouts most of them horsemen with pistolls in theire holsters and
swords by theire sydes and amongst them severall officers of the Garisons of
Barwicke ; with theis forces well appoineted in a warlike manner in the night
tyme with such a Truncheon as a Generall uses in his hand hee marched to
Whittingham and by the breake of day had possest himselfe of the markett
place and drawne upp his forces in a fightinge posture (theire Cloakes beinge
tyed crosse theire shoulders) either to receive or give a chardge (to the greate
Terrour and amazement of the country people that came to the said fayre
upon theire occacions) refusinge to quitt the place untill the Twoe next
Justices of peace came and read the proclamacion and required all those that
came to ride the said fayre to departe. Mr. Stapletons agents with their
tenants and neighbours beinge there alsoe in a defensive manner to make
good the purchasours right to the said fayre the wholle mannour of Whit-
tingham beinge intirely in theire possession then and for above Twelve
moneths before and the yeare before in a very quiet and peaceable manner
ridd and proclaymed the said fayre accordinge to Ancient Custome.
Since this tyme Sir Arthur hath continued to keepe a considerable
number of armed men in Eslington house whoe ryde upp and downe the
country armed to the greate terrour of all the people in the Neighbourhood,
with whiche armed men hee hath driven and impownded all Mr. Stapleton's
Tennants Cattle till everyone of them have replevined them twice or thrice (to
the number of 60 replevined att least) theire Cattle standinge in the Foulds
nights and dayes before hee would release them to the utter undoinge and
rume of many of the said Tenants within the said Lordshipp. Also the said

to lead away theire corne others hee hath forcibly thrust out of theire
houses seized of theire goods therein and kept armed men in theire houses
untill restored by the Justices and Sheriff.
Hee hath in like manner driven the Tennants Cattle out of the grownds
they pay Mr. Stapleton rent for and kept them forcibly on theire neighbours'
grownds adjacent, untill a longe tyme after that they were restored by
the Sheriff as aforesaid.
Alsoe the said Sir Arthur with the forces aforesaid hath brought cattle
of his owne unto the grownds of the said Mr. Robert Stapleton att Whit-
tingham and there forcibly kept them and when the Tennants had impounded
the said Cattle (beinge sheepe) hee refused to replevin them but sent a con-
siderable number of armed men horse and foote first in the day tyme and
then in the night tyme with white marks in theire hatts and swords drawne
whoe knockt downe the Watchers of the Pownd broke the Pownd and
violently rescued the said cattle and tooke them from thence and beate and
wounded divers of the said Tennants whoe thereupon have byn ever since
and yet are forct to leave theire Employments and watche theire goods day
and night to preserve them from the like outrages of the said Sir Arthur and

II.— A PEDIGREE OF WIDDEINGTON OF CHEESEBUEN
GEANGE.
By J. C. HODGSON, M.A., F.S.A.
[Exhibited 28th July, 1909.]
INTRODUCTORY NOTE.
Although an admirable pedigree of the family of Widdring-
ton of Widdrington castle is given in the Eev. John Hodgson's
History of Northumberland, in which work, as well as in the new
History of Northumberland, pedigrees of several cadet lines may
be found, no readily accessible pedigree* is forthcoming of the
family of Widdrington of Cheeseburn grange, whose most
illustrious son was Sir Thomas Widdrington of Gray's Inn,
Speaker of the House of Commons in the time of the Common-
wealth.
Biographies of Sir Thomas Widdrington may be found in
Mr. Eichard Welford's Men of Mark, the Dictionary of National
Biography, etc., etc.; and the Free School at Stamfordham,
which he endowed, still exists as a memorial of his benevolence.
The Widdringtons of Cheeseburn grange, like other North-
umbrian and Scottish families during the Civil Wars, divided
themselves between the opposing camps, and whilst Sir Thomas
was high in the counsels of the Commonwealth, his next brother,
Sir Henry Widdrington, was as ardent on the king's side, and
was obliged in 1646 to compound for his estate as a delinquent.
This division of opinion made no breach in brotherly relations,
and Sir Thomas, having out -lived his only son, after settling

4th series, vol. in. p. 158, communicated by Major Skeet, with which the present
pedigree is in substantial agreement.

large estates on his four surviving daughters, gave his paternal
inheritance at Cheeseburn grange to Sir Henry, from whom it
has descended, without any alienation, to his descendant and
representative, Mr. Edward Biddell-Blount, now of Cheeseburn
grange.
The writer desires to express his obligation and thanks to
Mr. Eiddell-Blount for giving him the fullest and unrestricted
access to his muniments.

III.— EXTRACTS FROM THE DE BANCO ROLLS
RELATING TO NORTHUMBERLAND,
1308 TO 1558.
By FREDERICK WALTER DENDY, a vice-president.
[Read on the 25th November, 1908.]
The plea rolls of the Court of Common Pleas, or, as they are
more commonly called the ' De Banco Rolls,' in which are
recorded the particulars of the litigation carried on in this
court, extend in an almost unbroken series from the reign of
Henry in to the present day. In bulk they far exceed that of
any other series of the public records and the contents are both
valuable and varied. The Court of Common Pleas or Common
Bench (whence the rolls derived their name) claimed exclusive
jurisdiction over land. They extend from 1 Edward i (12T2) to
25 Elizabeth (1582). After that date these proceedings were
formed into a distinct set of rolls known as the ' Recovery Rolls.'
There are 987 De Banco Rolls, each roll consisting of several
hundred skins or membranes. Mr. Scargill Bird in his Guide to
the Public Records states that ' the Rolls of Common Law proceed-
ings, although full of invaluable information, are too bulky to
invite the attention of the genealogical inquirer and the absence
of complete indices renders an exhaustive research almost
impracticable.' Mr. Walter Rye, in his Records and Record
Searching, says that the general contents of the Banco Rolls ' are
from their immense bulk and chaotic arrangement utterly sealed
to you unless you by chance get a reference to the roll and skin.
The frequently inserted advertisement that a certain record
agent has an " index " to these De Banco Rolls is misleading. It
is absolutely impossible that any one man could index a tithe of
them in a long lifetime. He can have an index to his notes and
extracts only.'
42 EXTRACTS FROM THE DE BANCO ROLLS
A somewhat eccentric but very industrious antiquary, General
Plantagenet Harrison, spent many years in making extracts
from these rolls for his never completed history of Yorkshire.
At his death his note-books were purchased by the Public Record
Office. At my instance Mr. Craster kindly inspected them and
he found that although most of the extracts related to Yorkshire,
some of the note-books contained also extracts which relate to
the county of Northumberland. These extracts are in volumes
vn to xn of the ' Notes.'
Some of these extracts, namely, those for the reign of
Edward i, are comprised in a complete abstract of De Banco Rolls
relating to Northumberland for that reign which is amongst the
volumes of historical manuscripts in the library of the duke of
Northumberland at Alnwick castle. The subsequent extracts,
commencing with the beginning of the reign of Edward 11, I
have had copied, and our members, Dr. Lawrence Adamson and
Mr. Richard Welford, have generously contributed the greater
part of the cost of the copying.
I now place the items thus extracted before the society for
its consideration. Much of the information they give has not
before been published, and I think I am correct in saying that
they throw new and valuable light on the history of nearly every
ancient family and considerable estate in the county of Northum-
berland. There are many evident mistakes and mis-spellings.
Some doubtless occur in the rolls themselves, others have prob-
ably been made by General Harrison in transcribing them, and
others again by the copyist of General Harrison's notes, which
are written in a very illegible handwriting. It has been found
impracticable to correct these errors except at a too costly
reference in every case to the rolls. The main thing is that
eference is given in each case to the original entry, and where
complete and accurate information is desired the rolls should be
searched and the entry more fully abstracted.

IV.— THE ARMORIALS OF NORTHUMBERLAND: AN
INDEX AND ORDINARY TO 1666.
By Mr. C. HUNTER BLAIR.
[Read on 25th August, 1909.]
'Behold the eagles, lions, talbots, bears,
The badges of your famous ancestries.'
This index is an attempt to collect into one list the arms of
Northumbrian families and of the officials connected with the
defence and administration of the county from the beginnings of
armoury in the later half of the twelfth to near the end of the
seventeenth century. For nearly one hundred and fifty years,
before the latter date, armoury has ceased to be of much arch-
aeological interest, it is no longer to be relied upon as a guide
to the genealogist, nor is it of great use to the student of history.
I have brought it down so late because it seemed desirable to
include the heralds' visitations, the last of which was made by
Sir William Dugdale, Norroy King of Arms, in 1666. The
names in the index have been taken from the various county
histories, and other publications and records enumerated on
pages 96-97. The capital letters immediately following the names
refer to these authorities. The arms are derived from the rolls
and books of arms, seals, records, manuscripts and heralds'
visitations given on pages 98 and 99. The capital letters within
brackets refer to these.
In a list covering nearly five centuries and containing so
many names and references it is possible that some names may
have been omitted and some mistakes made, but every care has
been taken to make it as complete and dependable as possible.
It is not necessary to discuss the trustworthiness of the armorial
90 THE ARMORIALS OF NORTHUMBERLAND I
authorities quoted, that of the early and mostly contemporary
rolls is unquestionable, but the local compilations known as the
Carr MS., the Craster tables, and the Northumbrian roll,
are not to be relied upon for the earlier arms. These have
generally only been used when they were corroborated by
other authorities. Considerations of space prevent me giving
reasons for ascribing, possibly doubtful, arms to certain families.
In a few cases where the evidence did not appear conclusive the
blasons are in italics. For the arms of the mayors and sheriffs
of Newcastle-upon-Tyne I have been obliged, for want of a better
authority, to rely largely upon the Carr MS.
The seals, attached to authenticate charters and documents,
are the best and earliest authority for arms; for our northern
shields we are fortunate in having the splendid collection
preserved in Durham treasury, supplemented by that of the
Rev. W. Greenwell. These seals have been largely used,
though, as they do not show the colours, I have only blasoned
from them when other evidence failed. Some of them
which are the only authority for the arms given, or which are
of interest for other reasons, are reproduced from photographs
on plates vm, ix, x, and xi. The antique gems, strange mon-
sters, and conventional devices of stars, crescents, flowers, etc.,
which appear on the early seals do not concern us here, except
a certain class of punning devices which later became the
canting arms of their users.
Thus the device of four ' merles ' sitting upon the branches
of a floriated design, used by the first and second Roger Merlay,
becomes for the third Eoger the three flying ' merles ' placed
paleways on his shield. Later he adopted the barry shield of
Stuteville, encircling it by a border of his own arms. The
seven flies on the noble seal of Thomas Muschamp (see plate
vm) become the three butterflies of their later shield. The
three cups of Walter Audre are represented by the single chalice
INTRODUCTION. . 91
of his armorial seal (see plates vin and ix). The floriated
cross-like device of vetch pods used on the seals of William and
Eustace Yesci possibly develop into the cross patonce of their
later shield. The splendid and solitary heron standing on the
seals of Jordan and Ralph Heron (see plate vin) becomes the
famous Northumbrian shield of three herons, borne in many a
fierce border fight. The hedgehog of Heriz becomes the fess
between three hedgehogs of Claxton. The salmon badge of Orde,
reminiscent of their origin on the banks of Tweed, developed
into the three salmon placed paleways on their shield. The same
device of Surtees, telling of their source on Teesside, did not
survive into armorial times ; they then used the ermine shield of
Brittany with the arms of Baliol in the quarter. These ex-
amples might be multiplied, but enough have been given to show
how the devices of these early seals sometimes developed into the
hereditary shields of armorial times.
In its chief characteristics the armoury of Northumberland
does not differ from that of English armoury in general. Cant-
ing arms are the most numerous, followed by lions and eagles
and the simple designs of the chief ordinaries combined with
charges lending themselves to boldness and simplicity of design,
easily to be distinguished on surcoat and shield in the press of
battle. With the end of the Wars of the Roses and the coming
of the Tudors, our northern art of heraldry, as elsewhere, decays.
The crowded shields, with overcrowded chiefs and ordinaries, ill-
balanced and badly drawn, came to Northumberland as to Eng-
land generally; upon these shields comment is useless. They
can be found by the curious in this index.
As I have said, canting arms are very numerous in North-
umberland. By ' canting' is meant arms in which the charges
upon the shield form a pun upon the name of its bearer. The
following are a few of the most interesting. Richard Acton
bears acorns powdered on his lion shield (see plate xi), the
92 THE ARMORIALS OF NORTHUMBERLAND I
orle of Baliol, possibly by its shape, suggests the baily of their
castle ; Beal, remembering when the monks of Lindisf arne hived
their bees on Behil, bears three bees; Bilton bears billets;
Cornyn carries sheaves of cummin (see plate ix) ; Bacon bears
a boar, his own name telling of its destined fate; Cartington
bears his cart wheels, not knowing that they were to be called
St. Catherine's wheels by later heralds. Craster betrays his
northern origin and Northumbrian accent by placing a ' craw '
in the quarter of the famous shield of the earls of Essex. The
great family of Corbet do not disdain the common corbie-crow.
The allusion is lost when Drayton sings of ' A raven set on
Corbet's armed head.' A dolphin leaps upon the shield of
Dolphanby ; Armorer typifies at once his name and its origin by
bearing arms in armour; Featherstonehaugh pluckily bears
three white feathers on his blood red shield; Hazelrigg takes
the familiar hazel leaves of his hedge rows wherewith to em-
blason his silver shield ; Lucy bears three lucies silver on a red
shield; Horsley carries three horses' heads, sometimes rased at
the neck, with wild and tossing manes, sometimes cut off straight,
trimly groomed, and securely bridled; three lambs stand on
the shield of Lambton ; three pears are borne by Peareth ; swines
heads by Swinburne; and three whelps by Whelpdale ; whilst
Gosebeck and Goswick are not ashamed of the homely goose, and
Haukyn bears three hawks.
Another class of canting arms alludes not to the name of the
bearer, but to the name or situation of his manor. Thus Denum,
lord of Meldon, bears three 'mells' or mallets on his shield;
Hebburn, living under the beacon on Ros castle, bears three
blazing cressets ; Elwick, being ever in sight of the numberless
water fowl of the Fames, carries one of them on his shield.
Another group of similar origin is to be found in arms borne
in allusion to the bearer's office or profession, sometimes called
'arms of office'; of this class we have in Northumberland the
INTRODUCTION. \)o
forester's horns borne by Bellingham, Dodsworth, Forster and
Topcliffe, the gerfalcons of Hanville, and the horse shoes of
Marshall.
Another series of arms largely evident in Northumberland
are those called 'derivative,' that is, arms derived from the shield
of a feudal superior of whom the bearer held his lands in fee,
or from one with whom he was connected by blood, or allied by
marriage.
Such shields were differenced from the original either by
changing the colours or by adding subordinate charges. In
Northumberland there are four great groups of these arms de-
riving from the orle of Baliol : the cinquefoil of Umfraville, the
bars of Grey and the quarterly shield of Fitz Roger, these four
series are illustrated in the four coloured plates n, iv, v, and
vii. These may be named the great series of the feudal arms of
the county, but in addition there are smaller series and single
derivative shields, which are noted, as they appear, in the index.
Mention may here be made of the sheaves of Comyn borne by
Devilstone, Boltby, Tyndale, Blenkinsopp and Swinburne. The
bougets of Ross of Wark, themselves derived and differenced
by change of colour from those of Ross of Hamlake, appear on
the shields of Ilderton, Lilburne, and possibly of Proctor and
Elrington. The cross patonce and the plain cross of the Vescis
were adopted by their successors of A ton. The former has left
its memory in the crosses borne by Latimer, Lamplough and
others ; the latter possibly appears on the shields of Coupland
and Hertlawe. We probably owe many of the cruciform
charges on the shields of the five northern counties to these
originals.
The engrailed cross of Ufford, earls of Suffolk, is repeated,
changed in colours, upon the shield of Raymes. Thirlwall
differenced the canting arms of Swinburne by placing a chevron
between the swines' heads. The cushions of the lords of Grey-
94 THE ARMORIALS OF NORTHUMBERLAND :
stock appear on the shields of Redman and Button. The rings
of Vipont earls of Westmoreland, are reproduced in the arms of
Lowther, Musgrave and Cromwell. The fret of Huddleston,
lords of Millom, is charged differenced in colour upon the shields
of Fleming, Harrington, Maltravers and Salkeld. The bars of
Multon of Gilsland are the chief charges in the arms of Mul-
caster and Denton. The azure lion of Percy was not connected
with Northumberland till the beginning of the fourteenth cen-
tury, and though thereafter it becomes the most famous shield
in the county, it arrived too late to influence Northumbrian
heraldry. The ' fesse engrele/ or fusils in fess, of their earlier
shield belonged to Yorkshire, and is reproduced with various
differences in many of the arms of that county; in this index
it appears on the shields of Plumpton, Yavasour, Pinckney,
Ferlington, and probably on the Northumbrian shields of
Alnham and Wendout. The well known and beautiful Percy
badge of the silver crescent most likely accounts for the crescents
of Ogle and Farnacres.
The study of the armoury of Northumberland brings to our
remembrance the stormy past of this northern march and
borderland. From the time of the first Edward to the union of
the crowns in 1603, its history is one long record of wars and
forays.
When the rest of England was enjoying and developing the
arts of peace, the blasons on the shields, banners and pennons
of the knights and squires of Northumberland still ' sparkled
abroad in the plains ' they still ' fought with such weapons as
they had/ either to defend the land against some inroad of the
Scots or themselves to carry fire and sword over the border.
Whilst our Northumbrian armorials thus appeared so con-
tinuously on the field of battle, the decorative side of armoury
was not forgotten, as the shields carved upon the gate towers
and battlements of the castles at Alnwick, Bothal, Chillingham
INTRODFCTIOX. 95
and Warkworth testify. Used in this manner they told of their
owner's honours and dignities, and spoke of his friendships and
alliances.
Blasoned in their proper colours they were also used to
beautify the walls and windows of our halls and churches. Ex-
amples of the former may still be dimly seen on the walls of the
great hall in Belsay tower, and of the latter in the windows of
the churches at Ponteland, Bothal, and St. John's in our own
city.
This list of shields brings vividly before us the romantic and
famous deeds of some of their bearers. The indented chief of
Grlanville summons to our memory that misty morning of July,
1174, when Ranulph of Glanville, the great soldier and lawyer,
and his band of northern knights, amongst them Odinel of
Umfraville, Bernard of Baliol, William of Estuteville and
William of Yesci, riding furiously from Newcastle to the relief
of Alnwick, besieged by the Scots, came unawares upon William
the Lion, took him prisoner there, and peace reigned on the
border for many years. The sable cross of Coupland recalls the
squire of Northumberland, called John Coupland, who took
David of Scotland prisoner at Neville's Cross and rode off with
his captive to a castle called 'Orgulus ' (Ogle), swearing that he
would give him up to no man save only 'the king of England,
his lord.'
We should like to have seen the noble armoury on the
banners and pennons displayed on the walls of Newcastle-upon-
Tyne at the Lammas tide of 1888, when Harry Hotspur and his
brother, Ralph Percy, assembled there the feudal array of the
north, and 'the town was so full of people that they wist not
where to lodge,' for the Scots were abroad ' burning and exiling '
the country so that ' the smoke thereof came to Newcastle/
We should like to know the blasonry of Hotspur's pennon, won
then by Earl Douglas at the barriers of our city and carried off
96 THE ARMORIALS OF NORTHUMBERLAND:
by him towards Scotland ; the cause of the deed that ' was done
at the Otterburne.' We remember the banners of Hotspur and
his English knights, impatiently held in check at Homildon
Hill, while the English archers struck down the chivalry of
Scotland under Earl Douglas the Tine-man ; and Hotspur had
a bloody revenge for Otterburn. The crescents and lucies of
Percy bring to our recollection the pillar on Hedgeley moor and
the heroic death there of Sir Ralph Percy, who, dying, boasted
of his loyalty to the Bed Eose, ' I've saved the bird within my
breast.' But to recall all the battlefields upon which Northum-
brian arms have been displayed, from Bannockburn to Flodden
Field, or all the ballads celebrating the heroic deeds of their
bearers, were too much to attempt. It is hoped that enough has
been said to make interesting the armorial history of our county,
and to increase our love for —
.... 'the lordly strand of Northumberland,
And the goodly towers thereby.'
NOTE : My thanks are due to Mr. F. W. Bendy and Mr. H. H. E. Craster
for much useful advice and assistance. The generous interest of the former has
enabled me to reproduce the four coloured plates of derivative shields. I am
indebted to the Eev. Wm. Greenwell for permission to use his catalogue of
seals preserved in the treasury of the Dean and Chapter of Durham; to Mr.
K. C. Bayley for granting me facilities to inspect and photograph them; to
Mr. W. Parker Brewis for photographs of the gateways at Alnwick, Bothal
and Lumley castles. Mr. E. G. Hatton has given me great help in drawing
the four plates of coloured shields, and I have found the MS. copy of Glover's
ordinary, belonging to Mr. M. Mackey, most useful.

The legend is SIGILLI : MAIOBATVS : VILLE : BERWICI : SVPER : TWEDAM.
CORBRIDGB : Device a plain cross between four human heads. (D.T. Misc.
Charters, 460; A.D. 1233.) Later seals have the cross flory and an

MORPETH : Barry silver and gules over all a tower triple towered gold, on a

The shield is that of Sir Roger Merlay with the castle for difference ;
see note 100 for its origin. )
NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE : Gules three castles triple towered silver. (It is not
known when this shield was granted. William Flower, Norroy King
of Arms, granted a crest and supporters in 1575. The motto was added
later, probably after the defence of the town against the Scots in 1644. )
Only two of the monasteries in Northumberland appear to have used an
armorial shield :
HEXHAM : Azure a saltire gold (the cross of St. Andrew, to whom the church
was dedicated).
TYNEMOUTH : Gules three crowns gold (the shield attributed by later heralds
to St. Oswin, king of Deira, who it is said was buried there).

166 THE ARMORIALS OF NORTHUMBERLAND :
NOTES.
1 This is the differenced shield of the Actons of Warwickshire and Wor-
cestershire (G.), with whom the Northumbrian family was not connected
(A. A. 3rd ser. i, 121.) It seems impossible, in view of the various and
different shields given in the text, now to determine their correct family
shield, if indeed they ever had one.
Each member of the family appears to have adopted different bearings.
The evidence of the seals is conclusive, so far as their users are concerned,
and one is inclined to give considerable weight to the early e Northern Eoll '
(A. A. 3rd ser. n, 174), which distinctly ascribes the ermine fess to 'Acton of
Newcastell,' who perhaps imagined a connexion with the better known west
country families.
2 Derived from the shield of Robert of Sokpeth, who in 1341 sealed with,
on a bend three billets (V. 1615). N.O. (Genealogist, N.S., vol. vii) gives
for Alder of Prendwick, silver a cross between four rooks flying sable.
3 This shield was borne by William of Alnwick, bishop of Norwich, 1436-
1449 (Blason of Episcopacy, 63), in memory probably of bishop Bek, lord of
Alnwick between the Vescis and the Percys. G. gives for ' Alnwick/ gold a
cross sable, the entire arms of Vesci. The common seal of the town of Alnwick
shows the ' great archangel Michael ' slaying the dragon, his shield em-
hlasoned with the cross patonce of Vesci. (T.A. i, 99. See Seal, p. 136.}
4 The charges are the same as borne by Washington. Early seals used
by both families bear the device of a lion passant (seals in the collection
of Eev. W. Greenwell). This similarity of device and arms points to -the
common origin of the two families.
5 The quartering was granted, 1 Edward vi (1547).
5* Legend ' s' THOME DE GRIFFITH.' The colours of the quartering are
taken from the Thornton shield blasoned in XVI, where it is quartered for
Griffith.
5b A seal of Eobert Archer in the possession of the Rev. William Green-
well has a chevron between the arrow heads.
6 V. 1575 omits the chevron.
7 This shield is blasoned in the rolls for Ashendon of Kent.
See p ™*8hie!d 1S blAa78°ned in a window i* the chancel of Ponteland church.
See Proc. Soc. Anhq. Newc. 3rd ser. m, 55.
8 The arms of Vesci assumed by Gilbert of Aton. The original shield
o A ton was barry gold and azure on a canton gules a cross flor/silver (G )
See A.A. 3rd ser. in, 237, and T.A. i 394
NOTES. 167
9 The differenced arms of Shaftoe.
10 This shield is possibly canting adopted as a play upon their name from
the similarity of the charge to the ' ballium ' of a castle. The shield appears
with many differences in the various rolls. The following are some of the
chief: —
In F. ' Alexndr Baillol/ silver an orle gules.
' William Bailloll,' gold an orle azure a label of five points gules.
' Ingram d'Bailloll,' gules an orle ermine.
In B. ' Hugh de Ballioll/ de goules oue ung faux escochon d'argent oue
ung escochon d'azur oue ung lion rampat d'argent Coronne
d'or en la Corniere.
' Eustace de Balioll,' d'azur au faus escocheon d'or crusule d'or.
In G. ' Baylioll,' gold an orle vair a label of five points gules.
In all the principal charge remains, the distinction is change of colour or
powdering by small charges, marks of cadency are unknown. See seals,
N.C.H. vi, 48.
11 For the many differences used by this family see Dugdale's 'Ancient
Usage in Bearing Arms ' and roll N.
11» This shield is blasoned for Sir William Basset in N. The seal is
wrongly described in A. A. 1st ser. n, 279.
12 A seal attached to deed of 1577 shows three squirrels. XV makes
the squirrels gold.
13 N.O. gives for this family, sable three codlings paleways silver; a
more likely shield if the name is derived from the fishing village of Beadnell.
14 Quartering azure three sheaves gold (Comyn). (See Garter plate.) The
brass of William Beaumont (ob. 1507) bears quarterly, 1, Beaumont; 2, Comyn;
3, Phelip; 4, Bardolf (O.B. i, 147). See also A. A. 2nd ser. i, 24.
15 See A. A. 3rd ser. in, 276. G. gives for Sir Roger Bellingham, silver
a bugle horn sable stringed gules.
16 E.L. gives, gules three sheaves within a border engrailed gold. The
sheaves derive feudally from those of Tyndale, and they in turn from Comyn,
by whom they would be adopted in canting allusion to his name. G. gives
also, gules six rings gold a border engrailed silver, derived from the Viponts
through Musgrave.
17 N.O. gives the canting shield, azure three pheons (bolts) gold. The
shield given in the text is that of Tyndale, whose heiress married Eichard of
Boltby. See A.A. 2nd ser. x, 42.
18 Probably derived feudally from the cinquefoil of Umfreville. See also
A.A. 3rd ser. n, 174, 177. In 1302 Sir Walter Burgdon, sheriff of Lanark,
seals with three pierced cinquefoils (C.D.S. n, 1321).
168 THE ARMORIALS OF NORTHUMBERLAND:
19 N.O. gives gold in chief three fleurs-de-lis sable.
20 Adam de Bowes seals with, a fess charged with three crosses fitchy
between three crosses moline. See Surtees, Durham, seals, pi. x, no. 37.
21 C.T. and V. 1615 give, azure on a bend silver three martlets azure.
22 V. 1615 places a lion's head rased between two battle axes on the chief.
23 The original arms of this family appear to have been a bend flory
shown on seal attached to a deed of 1387 (V. 1615). See also A.A. 2nd ser.
xiv, 315 and note ; ibid. 3rd ser. i, 128, and in, 267.
24 V. 1615. Carr of Woodhall quarters this shield with Errington.
25C.M. makes the lion's head gold. V. 1666 blasons, ' pards' heads'
rased gold.
26 A.A. xiv, 397, mentions a seal of 1452 shewing these charges, which are
probably canting. See also the visitations.
27 This shield is doubtful. P. A., quoting no authority, gives it for
4 Coucy.' G. makes the chevron gold for ' Sr. de Cause of Norfolk/ In
Durham Treasury (4-3 Ebor, no. 15, A.D. 1177) a seal of Hugo de Calz bears a
lion + SIGILLUM HUGONIS DE CALZ.
One of Adam de Cauce (2-5 Ebor., nos. 19 and 20, A.D. 1398 and 1407) bears
a bend charged with three roses between six crosses and the legend
SIGILLUM ADE DE CAUCE.
28 See Herald and Genealogist, vi, 120 : and The Genealogist, vn, 74.
29 See A.A. 3rd ser. m, 286.
30 This shield appears to be derived from the canting device of Heriz,
who on a deed of 1244 to William of Claxton sealed with a hedgehog (Fr.
' herison '). (Deed in Rev. Wm. Greenwell's Collection.) A seal of Leonis of
Claxton (D.T. Misc. Charters, 5803) bears the same device with the legend
LEONIS DE HERIIS. A series of seals in D.T. bears the shield in the text, one of
Robert of Claxton of 1474 omits the fess. See also Surtees, Durham, seals,
pi. x, no. 15.
31 Possibly derived from the Umfraville cinquefoil. N.O. gives to them
the curious shield, azure a dexter hand clothed with a sleeve and holding a
truncheon silver. See also shield carved in Alwinton church.
32 This shield does not appear in the rolls, but P. A. blasons as in the
text. For the shield as borne by Richard Clifford see under Ellingham.
33V. 1575 assigns to this family, silver a chevron azure between three
stags' heads sable, each holding a leaf in the mouth. C.T. omits the leaf.
The ancient shield appears to be the stags' heads cabossed gules as given by
N.R. and G.
NOTES. 169
34 There appears to be confusion between Collingwood and Colville in this
shield. G. gives the same shield for Cuthbert Colvile of Northumberland, for
whom it is also blasoned in XV.
35 For interesting note on Colville shield see N.C.H. i, 179. G. gives the
additional shield, silver a cross paty gules.
36 Probably adopted in canting allusion to the name, the charges being
sheaves of ' cummin.'
37 For note on this ancient shield see 41 Surt. Soc. publ. 48n. An early
seal is depicted in Surtees, Durham, seals, pi. vi, no. 11. A seal of 1186 has
an arm clothed with a sleeve, but not on a shield. A seal of William
' Cosneris ' bears the device of an arm clothed in a sleeve with a long lappet
hanging from the wrist and holding a fleur-de-lis in the hand (D'Anisy's
Charles Normandes, pi. ix, no. 12). A seal of ' Thome de Cosneris ' shows a
similar device, but the arm is clothed with a rudder shaped lappet at wrist,
there is no fleur-de-lis, and the field and lappet are powdered with crosses
crosslet (ibid., pi. ix, no. 13). Both these seals are early twelfth century.
38 The number of ravens, canting ' corby/ varies in the rolls from one to
six. See A. A. 3rd ser. n, 175. Sir Nicholas Corbet seals in 1390 with a lion
rampant (H.N. n, ii, 117, 118n), probably to note his descent from earl
Patrick. G. Blasons a similar shield for 'Corbet/ gules a lion rampant
guardant gold.
39 A seal of 1386 (D.T. 4-5 Spec. no. 21) bears a fess between three birds
in chief and in base three . . . (undecipherable) ; the legend reads s. HUGONIS
DE CORBBIGE.
40 G. gives for ' Cornhill,' an arm bendways gules issuing out of the
dexter chief.
41 G. blasons ermine with the chevron party gold and sable.
4la In 1359 John de Coupland seals with a shield bearing a cross ; crest

46 Derived from the orle of Balliol. A seal of Guy Darreyns of 1298 has
six escallops on the orle. Surtees, Durham, seals, pi. n, no. 19.
170 THE ARMORIALS OF NORTHUMBERLAND:
47 The arms are borne in canting allusion to their manor of Meldon. The
shield in the text is from the seal of Edmund Denum, A.D. 1340. The seal of
William Denum omits the fess (D.T. Misc. Charters, 3475, 3498, 3516). A seal
of John Denum, A.D. 1324, bears the very different arms of a fess charged with
three popinjays; legend SIGILL JOHANNIS DE DENUM (S.D.T. 1-3 Spec. no. 44).
48 G. also gives for this family, three molets gules in chief. In 1332 John
Denton seals with a bend engrailed between six leaves or acorns (seals, pi. xi,
no. 6). (S.D.T. 1-1 Spec. no. 103.) In 1357 John de Denton seals with three
bars (Dods. MS., vol. xlv).
49 Derived from the arms of Huntercombe, their feudal superior.
50 C.M. gives both the chevron and molets silver. A seal of 1642 (A. A.
2nd ser. xix, 238) has some undecipherable charges on the chevron.
SOaSee also Foster, Feudal Arms (82), for monumental slab in choir of
InChmahone church.
51 C.M. ascribes the same shield to Robert Dudley, sheriff of Newcastle
in 1586.
52 G. blasons for 'Durham,' azure crusilly and three crescents silver. Y.
blasons for 'John de Duresme,' gules a fess engrailed silver.
53 Deriving from the lion of Gospatric. A seal of John of Edlingham
given in Dods. MS., vol XLV, bears three bars dancetty.
54 See Proc. Soc. Antiq. Newc. 3rd ser. in, 55.
55 G. does not assign this shield to the Northumbrian family, but it has
an interesting likeness to the similar charge borne by the Trewicks, Gilbert
Middleton and Corbridge. See A. A. 3rd ser. i, 127 ; and S.S. pi. x, no. 22.
55* The same charges as borne on seal of Richard Clifford. It is possible
that the three eagles were borne by the Gaugys. The use of the name of
their northern manor in G. makes it not improbable.
56 Errington of Ponteland differenced with a crescent charged with a
molet and quartered Eland and Mitford (V. 1666). Errington of Denton bore
the undifferenced shield (V. 1615).

58 Both Sir William Felton (first) and Sir William Felton (second) were
much employed in the Scottish wars. Sir William (first) was constable of
Roxburgh and Linlithgow castles. Sir William (second) was sheriff of Box-
burgh as well as constable of that castle. The Scottish tressure with which
they encircled their lions would be adopted to signalize this connexion. The
south country family bore the lions ermine and without the tressure (J.),
sometimes they were golden crowned. See R.W. and the Garter plate of
Sir Robert Felton.

Umfraville and that of Sir Thomas have crosses patonce. Probably these
differences arise from the individual taste of the artist; the cinquefoil and
orle of crosses were important, their exact form and number a secondary
matter. Robert Umfraville, sheriff (1372), seals with

THE OCTAGON TOWERS AT ALNWICK CASTLE. 177
NOTES ON THE ILLUSTRATIONS.
THE OCTAGON TOWERS AT ALNWICK CASTLE.
Plate i, facing page 89.
These towers were built c. 1350, by Henry, the second lord Percy of
Alnwick. The remarks of Mr. C. J. Bates upon the shields at Bothal castle
(Arch. Ad. 2nd ser. xiv, 288) apply equally to Alnwick ; there, as at Bothal,
they were not put up out of ' family pride nor to represent phantom ancestors/
but living men, and were all shields actually borne in the middle of the
fourteenth century. To interpret them aright we should remember that
Henry Percy, the builder, was ' ever a fighter/ a man of war and of affairs,
from his youth employed almost continuously in fighting the Scots and in
administering the northern march. He was scarcely the man to speculate
in genealogical myths or to seek to commemorate 'phantom ancestors/ Such
speculations belong to a later age. On other northern castles, Bothal,
Lumley, Hilton, we have the shields of real living men, the friends and
relations of the builders. It seems reasonable to suppose that this was also
the case at Alnwick. These shields, therefore, represent Henry, lord Percy's
feudal lord, his friends the great barons in high command in Scotland and the
north, his relations and the lords and knights associated with him in his
life-work on the northern march. I blason them as follows :
In the centre :
Quarterly France and England. The shield borne by Edward in after
1340.
On the west tower reading from right to left :
1. England with a label of five points of France, for Henry, earl of
Lancaster, whose daughter Mary was the wife of Henry Percy's son.
2. Azure on a bend silver cotised gold, between six lions rampant gold,
three molets gules pierced vert, for William Bohun, K.G., earl of
Northampton, constable of England and warden of the marches (1351).
3. Sable a lion silver crowned gold, for John, lord Segrave, grandson and
successor to John, lord Segrave, the warden of Scotland in 1310. He
was captain of Berwick and warden in 1346.
4. Cheeky gold and azure a fess gules, for Robert, lord Clifford, whose
daughter Imania was the wife of the builder.
5. Silver a cross sable, for John Coupland, warden of the marches with
Henry Percy and sheriff of Northumberland in 1351. He held with

178 THE ARMORIALS OF NORTHUMBERLAND:
Sir Peter Mauley, the barony of Wooler in 1346. His shield is usually
blasoned with a molet on the cross, but his seal (1357) does not shew
this charge. (See pi. x, no. 5.)
6. Gold a bend sable, for Peter, lord Mauley. He held the barony of
Wooler in 1346 and was one of the great men of his day, holding high
command in Scotland and on the marches. His seal is illustrated on
plate ix, no. 12.
Shields on the east tower reading from left to right :
1. Cheeky gold and azure, for John of Warenne, earl of Surrey, Sussex
and Warenne and earl of Stratherne in Scotland.
2. Gold a lion azure, for Henry, lord Percy.
3. Gules crusilly and a cinquefoil gold, for Gilbert of Umfraville, earl of
Angus, lord of Prudhoe, Redesdale and Harbottle. His son Eobert
married Margaret, eldest daughter of Henry Percy.
4. Gules a lion rampant silver, for John, lord Mowbray ; he was with lord
Segrave at Berwick in 1346, and associated with Henry Percy in
Scotland and on the northern march.
5. Gules a saltire silver, for Ralph, lord Neville of Eaby, whose wife was
Maud, third daughter of Henry Percy. He was one of his chief com-
panions in arms in Scotland, and commanded one of the wings of the
army at Neville's Cross.
6. Gold a fess between two chevrons gules, for John, lord Fitz Walter,
whose wife was Eleanor, fourth daughter of Henry Percy.
GATE TOWER AND SHIELDS AT BOTHAL CASTLE.
Plate in, facing page 102.
Mr. C. J. Bates, in Arch. Ad. 2nd ser. xiv, 288, et seq., has explained these
shields so fully that further comment upon them is needless. I am^inclined
to think that the shield on the west turret which he assigns to Delaval should
be ascribed to Mauduit of Eshet, and the cross which he blasons for Gilbert
Aton I think is more likely to be for John Coupland. The molet with which
Coupland's cross is charged in the ordinaries does not appear on his seal,
and though he does not come into prominence till after Neville's Cross, that
is not too late for his shield to appear here, and he was thereafter one of the
most distinguished of Northumbrian knights. If I am right, the blason for
these two shields is:
Ermine two bars gules, for Mauduit of Eshet.
Silver a cross sable, for John of Coupland.
For blasons of the remaining shields see Arch. Ad. 2nd ser. xiv? 288-290-
BOTHAL CASTLE AND LITMLEY CASTLE. 179
EAST GATEWAY, LUMLEY CASTLE.
Plate vi, facing page 120.
The castle, of which this gateway is one of the most impressive features,
was built by Sir Ralph Lumley, first lord Lumley, who, in 1389 had licence
from bishop Skirlaw to rebuild his castle at Lumley, to embattle and to
crenellate it; three years later Richard n confirmed this licence. The
armorials, displayed over the doorway, are contemporary with the building,
and are very beautiful examples of heraldic art at the time when that art,
in England, had reached its highest point.
For the student of armory they are particularly interesting because of
the helmet, mantling and crest by which each shield is surmounted. The
helmets all face to the dexter, are all of the same closed circular type with
short dagged mantling covering the back. The crests face forwards with the
helmets, those of king and earl stand on caps of maintenance, the others sit
firmly down on the helmet, seeming almost to form part of it. The crest
wreath only appears on the helmet of Hilton, that being the only crest that
requires it for constructional purposes.
The shields set up here, as at Alnwick, Bothal and Hilton, are those of
actual living persons, nearly all closely related to the builder either by blood
or marriage, and all intimately connected with him in his official life. Stand-
ing above all, dominating all, the royal arms of England appear, representing
the feudal lord of all, king Richard. Sir Ralph was Richard's man, and lost
his life in an obscure skirmish in the streets of Cirencester, in a futile attempt
to restore that unfortunate monarch to his throne.
Directly below the royal shield are placed the armorials of the builder
himself. On the dexter side are the arms of Percy and Grey of Heton, on
the sinister those of Neville of Raby and Hilton of Hilton.
The blasons are as follows :
1. Quarterly France (ancient) and England with the lion crest of England
standing on a cap of maintenance, for Richard n.
2. Silver -a fess gules between three popinjays, the crest of a popinjay stands
on the tips of two horns which arise from either side of a cap of main-
tenance above the helmet, for Sir Ralph Lumley.
These are the modern arms of Lumley, being the arms of Thweng,
blasoned for 'Marmaduk de Twenge' in B, and adopted by the Lumleys
after the marriage of Sir Robert Lumley (ob. 1338) with one of the co-
heiresses of Thweng. The earlier arms of Lumley were gules six
popinjays silver so blasoned for them in Glover's Ordinary. A seal
of Marmaduke Lumley, attached to a deed of 1343, bears the six pop-
injays (D.T. Misc. Charters 6267). The first appearance of this, their
favourite bird, is on the seal of Matthew Lumley. It shows him
180

riding" in civil dress, with his head turned back looking at the
popinjay which he carries on his right hand. (D.T. Misc. Charters
5301 and 3-2 Fine. no. 3.)
The seal in the margin is that of Sir
Ralph attached to a deed of 1387- The
legend is s' BANULPHT DE LUMLEYE (Ex-
chequer Treasury of Receipt Miscellanea,
no. 46-1.)
3. Gold a lion rampant azure. The crest of a
lion, with drooping tail, stands on a cap of
maintenance, above the helmet, for Henry
Percy, first earl of Northumberland. He
was uncle by marriage to Sir Ralph, who
served under him on the marches in 1386
and at Berwick in 1391.
4. Gules a lion rampant within a border
engrailed silver. Crest a ram's head,
for Sir Thomas Grey of Heton, whose widow married Sir Robert Neville,
brother of John, lord Neville of Raby (Surtees, Durham, iv, 158), and
whose son Thomas was born at Alnwick castle in 1384 and married
Alice, daughter of Ralph, lord Neville. He was therefore nephew by
marriage to Henry Percy, earl of Northumberland.
5. Gules a saltire silver. Crest a bull's head rising from a cap of maintenance,
for Neville of Raby. Sir Ralph Lumley was the ward of Ralph, lord
Neville (Surtees, Durham, 11, 162), and married Eleanor, daughter of
John, lord Neville, by Maud, daughter
of Henry, lord Percy of Alnwick, and
sister of Ralph, first earl of Westmor-
land. The seal of John, lord Neville,
in the margin is attached to a deed of
1384, belonging to Rev. Wm. Green-
well. It is very similar to the shield
at Lumley castle, except that the cap
of maintenance is absent and the hide
of the bull's neck forms the mantling.
The legend reads s : JOHIS : DE : NEVILE :
DOMINI :DK:RABI. The letters B.B.
on either side of the helmet probably
stand for Bulmer. The crest also may
be a memorial of the same name.
Silver two bars azure, the crest, upon a wreath, represents the head of
Moses horned, for Sir William Hilton, baron of Hilton, and the builder of
6,
DERIVATIVE SHIELDS. 181
Hilton castle. I cannot find any relationship between the Hiltons and
Lumleys, and this shield is probably set up to represent a personal
friendship and comradeship in arms. In 1385-86 Sir William Hilton
served at Berwick under Henry, earl of Northumberland. (C.D.S.
iv, 334.)
I am indebted to Mr. W. Parker Brewis, F.S.A., for the following note
on the horns of Moses : ' Although horns are now an attribute of the Devil,
they were in early times an attribute of honour, and a symbol of force or
power. Thus when Moses descended from the mountain, where he had had
a personal interview with God, he (Moses) is depicted as having horns.
In the Revised Version of the Bible, Exodus, chapter 34, verse 29, has "The
skin of his face shone," but the Hebrew word here rendered "shone" should
be literally translated "sent forth beams or horns."
' In this connexion it must be remembered that the sun god Bacchus is
represented as horned, and is a counterpart of Moses, having the same
attributes. The infant Bacchus was confined in a chest by order of the
king of Thebes and thrown into the Nile. It is also related in the Hymns
of Orpheus that Bacchus had a rod with which he performed miracles, and
which he could change into a serpent at pleasure. He passed the Bed Sea
dryshod at the head of his army, he divided the waters by a touch of his
rod, and by the same mighty wand he drew forth water from the rocks.
He is also called the law-giver, and his laws were written on two tablets
of stone. There are other points in common, and it is clear that Moses and
Bacchus had a common origin in Dionysus, who was a sun god allegory.
The gods were originally personified representations of the most prominent
phenomena of nature, and if we examine their characteristics we find that
they melt into each other, and at last into one or two of the principal
phenomena, usually those of the sun, expressed in a variety of ways and
by a multitude of fanciful names.'
NORTHUMBRIAN DERIVATIVE SHIELDS.

This shield is blasoned for John Baliol (06. 1268) in Glover's roll of Henry
in. For the many differences used see note 10 p. 167. For seals see N.C.H.
vi, 48, and for pedigree, ibid. pp. 72 and 73.

THE ARMORIALS OF NORTHUMBERLAND I
BERTRAM OF BOTHAL.
Richard Bertram, son of William Bertram of
Mitford and his wife Hawis Baliol, was the first lord
of Bothal. This shield is first blasoned for his
descendant, Sir Robert Bertram, in the roll of Edward
n. The seal in the margin is attached to a deed of
1346 belonging to the Rev. Wm. Greenwell. The
legend is s' ROBERTI BERTRAM.
BERTRAM OF MITFORD.
William Bertram, first lord of
Mitford, married Hawis, daughter of
Guy Baliol. This shield is first blasoned
for Roger Bertram (oh. 1241) in Glover's
roll of Henry in. The seal in the
margin is attached to a deed in Durham
Treasury (1-12 Spec. no. 13). The
legend is -b s' ROGERI BERTRA . . .
NI . . MIDFORD.
INGRAM UMFRAV1LLE.
This shield, first blasoned in Charles's roll
(1295), is differenced by the label from that of
Ingram Baliol. His seal in the margin has a label
of three points only ; the legend is * s' INGRAMMI :
DE : VMFRANVILE (Chapter House uncatalogued
seals, tray 10). His exact relationship to Baliol
is unknown, but he was Ingram Baliol's heir
(C.D.S. n, 1060 and 1096). He was one of
the distinguished men of his day. He was at Norham when Edward i
adjudicated upon the claims to the Scottish throne, and at the castle of
Newcastle-upon-Tyne when John Baliol did homage (C.D.S. n, 660). He was
sheriff of Roxburgh in 1299 and ambassador to France in 1302.
DERIVATIVE SHIELDS. 183
HENRY SPRING.
The connexion of Henry Spring of Houghton with the Baliols is not
known, but in 1270 he appears as one of the executors of John Baliol. (See
D.T., Misc. Charters 4089 and 4463). His seal in the
margin is attached to the latter document and bears the
legend ' 4«siGiLLVM : HENRICI : DE : HOCTVN.'
JOHN LYTHEGREINS.
This is clearly the Baliol shield differenced by the bend,
but why it was used by Lythegreins I cannot say. There
may have been some blood relationship, marriage, or feudal
connexion to account for it. He was a man of consider-
able importance in his day, but he appears and disappears,
and of his family or descendants nothing is known. He was sheriff of
Northumberland in 1274. In 1291 he was appointed by Edward i, along
with William of Lincoln and Thomas of Fisseburn, to examine the records of
the Scottish Treasury and other places to discover evidences alleged to exist
by the count of Holland, a claimant for the Scottish throne (C.D.S. n, 516,
526). In 1300-1307 he was one of the king's justices in the north (C.D.S.
n, 1972).
LUCKER AND HEPPLE.
These shields are both blasoned in Glover's Ordinary. Their connexion
with Baliol I cannot trace, and it may be only my guesswork which connects
them with that family.
DARREYNS.
This differenced shield of Baliol may only have been adopted as a sign of
feudal connexion, but it is likely that they were connected by blood with
the Baliols. They held the manor of Whittonstall from the latter by a
quarter part of a knight's fee (N.C.H. vi, 177).
Plate iv, facing page 112.
PITZ ROGER AND CLAVERING.
There seems little doubt that this famous quarterly coat of gold and of
gules was originally borne by Geoffrey of Mandeville, first earl of Essex.
It was adopted with various differences by his descendants and relations by
marriage, the Says, Beauchamps, Veres, and Fitz Rogers. Roger fitz Richard
married Alice de Vere, and the shield here illustrated is first blasaned for
IS-I
THE ARMORIALS OF NORTHUMBERLAND I
their son Robert fitz Boger in Charles's Roll. His seal shows the quarterly
shield and baaton (N.C.H. v, 25; A.A. 3rd ser. i, 125, Geoffrey de Mandeville,
by J. II. Round, p. 392). This shield is first attributed to Clavering in the
poem of the siege of Caerlaverock, where it is borne by John, ' Ky de Claver-
iughc a sin-noun, ' differenced by a label vert. In the roll of Edward n,
Alexander Clavering places three silver molets on the bend.
This surname was adopted from the Fitz Roger's manor of Eure in
Buckinghamshire by two of the younger sons of John fitz Robert of
Warkworth.
The shield is first blasoned for ' Roger le fitz
John de Eure ' in Glover's roll of Henry in, with no
escallops on the bend. The shield, illustrated with
the escallops, is blasoned in the Nativity roll for
1 Sir John de Eure ' (see his seal, pi. x, no. 19).
The seal in the margin is that of Hugh of Eure,
third son of John fitz Robert and his wife Ada
Baliol. As both he and his elder brother Roger bore
the undifferenced Fitz Roger shield it would seem
that the escallops were not adopted till the next
generation by John of Eure, lord of Stokesley. It also
appears that all the sons of the above John fitz Robert used the surname
of Eure.
WIDD'EINGTON.
In 1268 Robert fitz Roger gave Linton to John of
Widdrington, reserving service (41 Surtees Soc. publ.
i xxvn., N.). ' This shield, differenced by change of
colour, would be adopted to show the feudal connexion.
t is first blasoned in Powell's roll of Edward in. The
seal in the margin is attached to a deed of 1357, in the
possession of the Rev. Wm. Greenwell.
CHASTER AND MIDDLETON.
DERIVATIVE SHIELDS. 185
TREWICK.
At the visitation of Northumberland in 1666 this shield is blasoned as
one of the quarterings of Fenwick of Wallington. In the Craster tables it
is blasoned silver and azure, and is probably derived from the quarterly
shield of Middleton.
The stag's head cabossed appears on a number of shields in the district
around Matfen. See shields of Gilbert Middleton, Corbridge and Eland.
(See also Arch. Ad. 3rd ser. i, 116.)
Plate v, facing page 114.
RICHARD GREY.
Richard of Grey was sheriff of Northumberland in 1236, and also had the
custody of the castles of Bamburgh and Newcastle-upon-Tyne (C.D.S. i, 1323).
This shield is blasoned for him in Glover's roll of Henry in.
ADAM OF JESMOND.
For note on this shield see Arch. Ad. 3rd ser. i, 40 and 114. Additional
evidence of Adam's connexion with Richard Grey is found in Cal. Pat. Rolls
(1247-58), p. 141. Under date 6 June, 1252, Richard Grey and others are
granted protection whilst on the king's service in the islands of ' Gereseye
and Gernseye.' The like protection is granted to. ' Adam de Gesemue ' and
others ' gone with the said Richard de Grey.'
GREY OF HORTON IN GLENDALE.
The exact connexion of this family with the bearers of the original barry
shield I do not know. Some relation there must have been, as this is clearly
a shield differenced from the simpler one of Richard Grey. In 1259 a Richard
Grey held lands in Nesbit (C.D.S. i, 2148) and in Planche's roll of Henry in,
Richard of Grey bears the shield here illustrated. It is blasoned for Grey of
Horton in the visitation of 1575.
GREY OF NEWCASTLE AND BACKWORTH.
This shield is not in the rolls of arms. It is blasoned in a pedigree at
Herald's College (N.C.H. ix, 41) and with ' three bars ' (evidently in error) at
Dugdale's Visitation of 1666. In the pedigree there given William Grey of
Hebburn, co. Durham, from whom the family of Newcastle and Backworth
descended, is stated to have been a younger son of Grey of Horton.
186 THE ARMORIALS OF NORTHUMBERLAND:
The reasons for assuming this shield to be derived from that of Grey are
stated in Arch. Ael. 3rd ser. i, 121.
HALTON AND CARNABY.
There is no direct evidence that this shield is derived from Grey, but John
of Halton appears to have been connected with Adam of Jesmond, for whom he
was sheriff substitute in 1263. He succeeded him as sheriff in 1266 (see Arch.
Ael. 3rd ser. i, 115; C.D.S. n, 2421, 2451). It is first blasoned for ' Robert de
Halton ' in Jenyn's Ordinary, where ' John de Halton ' also bears it, but with
two escallops gules in chief. The shield here illustrated is carved upon the
east wall of Halton tower. It is blasoned in Jenyn's Ordinary for William
Carnaby by whom it was adopted upon succeeding to the manor of Halton.
ERRINGTON.
The Erringtons were related by marriage to the Carnabys, whose shield
they differenced by placing escallops in chief in place of roundels. It is first
blasoned in Jenyn's roll for 'John de Erington.'
ESLINGTON.
I have included this shield in this series, as it appears to be of similar
elation but it may only be a chance likeness, as I am unable to trace anv
to account for "' Jt is blasoned in
CRAMLINGTON.

1ST
is ' the devil can do nothing and flies from it .... if a man carries it about
with him no venomous beast can harm him ' (Sowerby's Botany, m, 198,
quoting- Platearius).
The shield illustrated is first
blasoned in Charles's roll, where the
cinquefoil is pierced. It is borne
unpierced in the Falkirk roll.
The seal in the margin is that , of
Gilbert Umfraville, earl of Angus
(ob. 1308) ; the legend is s* GILB'TI
D'VFBAVILL' COMES D'ANGVS' (Chapter
House, detached seals [D] 9). Note
the indentation of the leaves and
centre of the cinquefoil, for artistic
purposes, which is probably the origin
of the pierced cinquefoil. The field is
crusilly paty not crosses crosslet.
SIR THOMAS UMFRAVILLE.
This shield is ascribed to Sir Thomas Umfraville of Harbottle in Harl.
MS. 1481, fo. 75. He was son of Robert, second earl of Angus, and of his
wife Eleanor. His seal, attached to a deed of 1373, is illustrated on plate x,
no. 10. It shows crosses patonee and a deeply engrailed bend.
SIR ROBERT UMFRAVILLE.
He was brother to the above Thomas and died in 1379. His seal, attached
to a deed of 1368, is illustrated on plate x, no. 9. The very thin baston
and the shape of the crosses on this seal are noticeable.
GILBERT UMFRAVILLE.
This shield, blasoned in Glover's roll of Henry in, is the earliest shield of
the Umfravilles appearing in the rolls of arms. It suggests the probability
of an earlier shield, gold a cinquefoil gules, from which all the later shields
here blasoned are derived, but of which we have no record. The horse shoes
point to the office of marshal! and probably allude to some such position filled
by Sir Gilbert.
BURRADON AND HORSLEY.
The three shields of the Burradon family illustrated on this plate probably
are derived feudally from the cinquefoil of Umfraville. The similarity of the
Christian name of two of their bearers to those of Umfraville points to some
relationship in blood. The marriage of Gilbert Burradon with Elizabeth
188 THE ARMORIALS OF NORTHUMBERLAND :
Umfraville did not take place, according to Hodgson (n, i, 6) till quite the
middle of the fourteenth century. In 1302 Sir Walter Burradon seals with
three pierced cinquefoils. The bend shield of Sir Gilbert is blasoned in the
roll of Edward u (c. 1310) and that of Sir Gilbert with the border is from his
seal attached to a deed of 1323. The family of Horsley, who held Thernham
under the Umfravilles, used the same shield with the cinquefoils pierced.
CLENNELL.
This shield, given on the authority of the late Northumbrian roll, is
rather doubtful. It is included here, as it appears to be based upon the
cinquefoil of the lords of Harbottle.
SWINBURNE.
In 1268 William Swinburne was granted the manor of Chollerton by
Gilbert Umfraville, and this shield was used by the descendants of the above
William.

RUINS OF THE CHURCH OF THE HOLY CROSS, WALLSEND.
191
Y.— THE CHURCH OF THE HOLY CROSS, WALLSEND,
NORTHUMBERLAND.
By W. H. KNOWLES, F.S.A.
[Read 23rd February, 1910.]
To-day the importance of Wallsend is consequent upon the
quality of its coals, and the universal reputation of its ship-
builders to construct the largest ships afloat. Almost two
thousand years ago it was known to the Romans, as its name
implies, as the eastern extremity of the great Wall and the site
of the station of SEGEDUNUM. A thousand years later the Normans
had established themselves at Newcastle, Tynemouth and else-
where, and within a quarter of a century of William's conquest,
refounded the monastery on the site of the Saxon foundation at
Jarrow. Thereafter the church at Wallsend was dependent on
and associated with the monastery.
The site of the church is to the east of, and at some distance
from, the modern town. It is perched on an eminence, sur-
rounded on the south and west sides by a deep ravine, known
as the Burn-closes, through which the Wallsend burn flows
eastward on its way to the Tyne, which it enters at Willington,
almost a mile distant. The little church must have been a
conspicuous object at the time of its foundation, and the prospect
from it to the south an extensive one, consisting of broad grassy
slopes, with vistas of the river Tyne in the middle distance and
the tower of Jarrow church beyond.
Mrs. Montague, the ' blue stocking,' who hired Carville hall
in 1758, while Denton hall was being repaired, says that she
' had a very good land as well as water prospect. We see from
our windows the place where once lived the Yenerable Bede/
192 CHURCH OF THE HOLY CROSS, WALLSEND.
In 1770 the attractions of Wallsend are further remarked in the
AiitMoffraphy of the Rev. Dr. Alexander C.arlyle, who was on a
visit to his brother-in-law, John Erasmus Blackett, then living
in Pilgrim street, opposite the house of his relative, Sir Walter
Blackett, Carlyle writes 'We arrived at Wallsend, a very
delightful village about four miles below Newcastle, on the
road to Shields, where Mr. Blackett had a very agreeable house
for the summer. There were other two gentlemen's nouses of
good fortune in the village, with a church and a parsonage
house. Next day, the 1st of May, was so very warm that I with
difficulty was able to walk down to the church in the bottom of
the village, not more than two hundred yards distant.' Even
to-day the village green is a pleasant contrast to the din and
turmoil of the shipyards.
The earliest references to the site of the church at Wallsend
are contained in two charters, one of them a grant of Walcher,
bishop of Durham, of 1074, and the other of bishop William
de St. Carilef of 1082. In the former, bishop Walcher, when he
saw that the monks of Jarrow (after the Danish invasions) wished
to restore their destroyed habitations, granted to Aldwin1 the
vill of Jarrow with its appendages, viz., Preston,2 Monkton,-
Heworth, Hebburn, Westoe, and Harton, that they might be
able to complete their work and live without want. In the later
charter bishop St. Carilef granted to the Benedictine monks,
whom he had settled at Durham, two vills on the farther side
of the Tyne, namely, Willington and Wallsend,3 and, in addition,
confirmed to them whatever bishop Walcher, his predecessor,
gave to them, namely, the vills of Jarrow, Preston,4 Monkton,
Heworth, Hebburn, Westoe, and Harton. As Wallsend is not
mentioned in Walcher's grant, it is apparent that it formed part
of the original possessions of the congregation of St. Cuthbert

of Durham, and that Carilef, when he turned the congregation
out of Durham in 1082, replaced the seculars by the Benedictines
previously settled at Jarrow, afterwards proceeding to divide
between himself and the Jarrow monks the old endowments of
the congregation of St. Cuthbert amongst which Wallsend is
numbered.
As bearing on the date of the erection of the church, and
proving its existence in the middle of the twelfth century, an
undated charter of Henry the second5 (1154-89) may be
remarked. In it, reference is made by the monks at Durham
to Wallsend and its chapel (cum capella sua) and "Wellington
with its appurtenances. Several charters also of bishop Pudsey
could be cited about 1155 in which, as a witness, the name occurs
of Alan, priest of Wallsend. Among these charters is the grant
made to Durham by Ralph de Gaugy of the church at Ellingham.
The frequency of the name suggests that Alan may have been
of the bishop's council. A bull, c. 1180, from pope Urban to
Grermanus, prior of Durham, confirms to him inter alia the church
of Wallsend.6
In the Jarrow account rolls7 are several entries relating to
Wallsend, including one of 1347 wherein the master of the house
at Jarrow accounts for 4£. received from William de Tynemouth,
chaplain, for the fine of the chapel of Wallsend, leased to him
for ten years. In 1369 and for several years thereafter,8 the
monks of Jarrow were in receipt of 13s. 4d. from the chapel of
Wallsend. An entry in 1408,9 contains the statement that ' noth-
ing is received from the altarage [offerings to the altar, Easter
oblations, etc.] and profits of the chapel of Wallsend, because the
chaplain has received the whole profit there in place of his
stipend ' ; and in the roll for 143210 it is set out that nothing is

received from the fisheries on the north side of the water of Tyne,
nor from the small tithes and oblations of the chapelry of
Wallsend, because they are assigned to the maintenance of the
chaplain thereof. Presumably the cell of Jarrow had the great
tithes and leased out the small tithes instead of paying a stipend,
the chaplain at Wallsend receiving the minor fees or dues in
return for a fixed annual rent of one mark.
The halmote rolls11 record an order made in 1379 wherein
* it is enjoyned on all tenants of the vill on the one part, and
on William the chaplain, that none gainsay another for the
future, under pain of payment of half a mark.' The cause of the
order is not indicated, but it is sufficiently clear that the chaplain
and his neighbours possibly encountered each other on commer-
cial affairs after the manner of the prior of Tynemouth and the
good people of North Shields.12 In the rental roll of the bursar
at Durham is an entry dated 1539, from the chaplain at Wallsend,
'fora cottage and garden nil because they are waste.'13
The church continued to be used until 1797, when Mr.
William Clark conceived the idea of repairing it, but selling the
estate to Mr. Anthony Hood, he relinquished the project14 ;
dilapidation followed, and the ruins gradually diminished. ^
Their extent in 1843 is shewn by the late G. B. Richardson in a
drawing in the possession of the society. In 1869 only the
porch and the west gable existed as depicted by a photograph

in our Proceedings,™ and at the time of the reparation recently
undertaken, the porch alone was visible.17
In the autumn of 1909, the churchwardens and overseers
determined to restore the fragment remaining, to excavate the
site of the church, to collect the gravestones lying about in the
open space and to provide for their reception and preservation
within an enclosed area. The execution of this work has resulted
in the recovery of the plan of the church, and of other interesting
discoveries which are recorded below.
From Wallsend the approach to the churchyard is by a series
of flights of steep stone steps. The church is a simple parallel-
ogram, and measures externally 52 feet by 22 feet 6 inches.
It comprised an aisleless nave and chancel, with a south
door, which, fortunately, still exists. The details of this door
sufficiently indicate that the building was erected about the
middle of the twelfth century, and is confirmatory of the docu-
mentary evidence which proves its existence previous to 1155
(See the plan.)
The side walls incline to the east, the width of the chancel
being 15 feet 5 inches, and of the nave at the west end 17 feet
5 inches. The length of the chancel is 11 feet 10 inches and of
the nave 30 feet 8 inches. Excepting about the south door the
walls are not more than two or three feet above the floor level

The chancel walls are of varying thickness, that on the north
being greater than the adjoining nave wall. The wall contain-
ing the chancel arch is 2 feet 8 inches in thickness, and the width
between the jambs of the arch 5 feet 7 inches.
The walling enclosing the south nave door remains to a
height of 14 feet. The door is semi-circular in form, of two
orders, the inner one is unmoulded and continues to the floor

without impost or base. The outer order is moulded with an
angle roll, and a double-quirked flat hollow on the face. The
arch springs from a chamfered and quirked abacus or impost,
carried on a detached angle shaft, of which the capitals only
remain. The latter are worked on a long stone with a double
scallop to the south and interior faces. An incised line follows
the semi-circular faces of the scallops, the cones of which are

divided by a rude leaf. The shafts and their bases have long
since been destroyed. The rear-arch is without mouldings. In
the west jamb (fig. 2) there are several stones larger than the
rest, one of which is holed and may previously have served
another purpose. They appear to be re-used Roman material
similar to stones which occur in the churches at Corbridge and
Chollerton, which, like
Wallsend, are near to
Roman stations. In the
north nave wall are the
chamfered jambs of a
built-up door opening, and
at the east end of the same
wall the straight joints of
an opening of which there
is no indication on the
exterior. Fragments of
plaster cover the faces of
all the walls, including the
openings just mentioned.
The circular paved plat-
form on which the font
stood was uncovered, and
in the north- west angle of
the nave (see the plan,
fig. 1) are four holed
post stones, possibly intended to secure the framework of a light
screen to enclose a vestry space. Some flagged pavement
occupies the area between the north and south doors, the central
nave aisle and the chancel. The three grave covers indicated on
the plan were also discovered and are described below.
In the fourteenth century the west gable was strengthened
FIG. 3. — THE SOUTH DOORWAY.
CHURCH OF THE HOLY CROSS, WALLSEND. 199
by the erection of diagonal buttresses, the lower courses of which
now remain, including two plain weathered offsets (fig. 2). The
square buttress on the north nave wall is of later date, and is
not bonded into the walling.
The projecting porch was added in the seventeenth century ;
a flat chamfered arch spans the opening and springs from a
moulded impost. In one of the drawings by the late G. B.
Richardson a panel is shewn above the arch, but this has long
since disappeared.
The shape of the nave, a double cube on plan, the indications
of the great height of the walls as compared with the width of
the nave, and the narrow opening of the chancel arch are all
characteristic features of the striking and impressive work of the
early Norman period. The church, which would in Norman
times be lighted with small round headed windows, placed high
in the walls, seems to have been of the severely plain type,
suited to the exposed position which it occupied. If any archi-
tectural feature of value adorned the fabric it is strange that no
fragment, excepting a few pieces of double chamfered mullions
of late date, have survived. The distant and detached position
of the site has not availed against local depredation. The
masonry generally is of squared stones, roughly coursed, that on
the west gable being the best of the early work. The diagonal
buttresses and the south elevation of the added porch are of
ashlar courses. In the south wall of both nave and chancel the
stones are somewhat smaller and the wall bears the appearance of
having been more or less rebuilt.
Remains of contemporary churches of like extent to that of
Holy Cross are not uncommon. One of similar dimensions once
existed at North Grosforth.18 Another with a nave of equal width
and possibly area, is St. Mary's, Jesmond,19 and a third example
in the little Norman chapel at Seaton Delaval.

The bowl of the font now at St. Peter's cln irch,
(fig 4), was obtained in 1891 from Carville hall It is said,
with great probability, to have belonged to the church of the
Holy Cross. It is octagonal
shaped on plan, with curved sides
moulded on the top edge, and
measures 2 feet 6 inches in diameter
and 1 foot 9^ inches in height.

Two pieces of seventeenth century communion plate of
silver are in use at the modern St. Peter's church, one a cup,
possibly of Newcastle make, and the salver, most likely of
foreign manufacture (fig. 5). The salver, probably made for
secular purposes, is 11 inches in diameter. It has two hall
marks: (i) a castle and (ii) the maker's initials, I.H., with
a star over. Its wide border of admirable repousse work is
decorated with flowers and foliage, amid which are four panels
with figure subjects representing the seasons.25
During the excavations six coins were found : (1) A sixpence
of Edward vi, with m.m. a tun, in very bad condition; (2) a

VI.— COKSTOPITTJM : REPORT ON THE EXCAVATIONS
IN 1909.
By E. H. FORSTER, M.A., F.S.A., and W. H. KNOWLES,
F.R.I.B.A., F.S.A.
I. INTRODUCTION.
Work began at Corbridge in 1909 on July 1 and was con-
tinued till the beginning of October, or, if the fortnight
required for * filling in ' be included, till the middle of that
month. During the three months the excavators were able to
examine thoroughly the ground lying between the area explored
in 1908 and the modern road from Corbridge to Beaufront and
Hexham, which probably coincides approximately with the
northern limit of the Roman occupation. They also found time
to work out some details of the granaries and fountain which had
been left unfinished in the preceding autumn.
The results obtained are striking and important, though they
differ markedly in character from the results of 1908. In that
year we uncovered a broad and well-made street, and by the side
of it, elaborate, extensive and even massive buildings, the
granaries, fountain and so-called ( forum,' which surpass in many
respects all previous discoveries of the kind in Roman Britain,
while the interest of the buildings was enhanced by one or two
notable inscriptions, a sensational hoard of late Roman gold
coins and several noteworthy pieces of sculpture. As we moved
away north from this fertile quarter, we entered a different
region. The buildings found in 1909 were small and poorly
built and, with one exception, ill-preserved : one or two of them
had plainly been destroyed within the Roman period. Only
two could be assigned, with any approach to certainty, to a
definite use. One of these was a granary resembling the two
20fi REPORT OX THE T9°9 EXCAVATIONS AT CORSTOPITTTM .
granaries unearthed in 1908, but smaller and less finely con-
structed : its erection dated perhaps from the earlier part of the
second century, and it had been destroyed before the fourth
century (site xiv). The other— the only well-preserved building
in the whole series— served apparently as a bath-house in the
later age of Corstopitum (site xvn). The rest were confused and
puzzling structures, generally showing signs of successive re-
building, but in their existing form practically unintelligible.
Even their positions were irregular, and little trace could be
found of definite streets. Plainly the northern side of Corstopi-
tum, so far as it has been yet uncovered, never contained build-
ings of great importance or solidity.
In contrast to this poverty we have many single finds to
record which deserve full notice. Close to the bath-house just
mentioned was a clay-built furnace or forge, remarkable for a
huge 'pig' of raw iron which was found standing upright in
the middle of it. This ' pig' weighs upwards of three and a half
hundredweight, and is doubtless the largest single piece of
Roman iron yet found in Britain. Its use is open to doubt. It
has been thought by some that iron ore from neighbouring iron-
stone outcrops was brought to Corbridge to be there smelted and
that this 'pig' is one of the results. Others prefer to suppose
that the ironstone was smelted where it was dug up, and that the
' pig ' was utilized at Corbridge as an anvil in a smithy. What-
ever the truth — and we hope to be able to say more next year —
the find indicates iron-smithying of some sort at Corbridge, and
cannot fail to throw light on ancient metallurgy in England.
Another interesting structure was a curious aqueduct, formed
of a stone water-channel laid on a substantial clay embankment.
This was found to have supplied the water for the fountain in
the latest Roman period and, though a somewhat rude work,
deserves attention as a novel form of water supply. The water
was brought, doubtless, from the rising ground north or north-
REPORT ON THE 1909 EXCAVATIONS AT CORSTOPITTTM. 207
east of Corstopitum, but the site of the spring-, the line of the
channel from it to the beginning of the aqueduct and the nature
of the channel — whether stone or an earthen bank or wooden
landers on trestles — remains to be determined later.
A third structural discovery was made in front of the two
granaries uncovered in 1908. Here, facing the main street, we
were able to trace the bases and lower parts of the columns of
two massive porticoes, one for each granary. Each portico had
four columns, which presumably supported a pediment, and the
whole fitted in well with the general scale of the granaries. The
porticoes, like the granaries, seemed of different dates and bore
marks of restoration in certain places.
Besides these single structural finds, evidence was accumu-
lated to throw light on the development and character of Cor-
stopitum. In the first place, the assured beginning of its history
was thrown back some fifty years. Beneath the granaries and
also beneath site xiv, Samian and other potsherds were de-
tected at a considerable depth, and these potsherds may be
ascribed with reasonable certainty to the age of Agricola. With
the potsherds were a few postholes, and in them the remains of
posts, showing that — as we might expect — the earliest Romans
at Corstopitum made use of wood for some at least of their
buildings. Less sensational discoveries have been made in
respect to Corstopitum chronology during the second and follow-
ing centuries. But we are beginning to feel our way towards
a more definite sequence of buildings and periods, and to lay the
foundations of a relative, if not of a positive, chronology. It is
interesting, too, to note that the demolition of the great building
on site xi was due, at least in part, to Romans of the third or
fourth century seeking building stone.
The small finds of the year also claim a word. Coins have
been numerous, if less overwhelmingly plentiful than in 1908,
and a larger proportion of them than hitherto belongs to the first
208 REPORT OX THE T909 EXCAVATIONS AT CORSTOPITUM I
and second centuries. Samian ware has also been abundant, and
included the almost wholly new element of first-century fabrics :
on the other hand, the East-Gaulish or German products which
occurred to some extent in 1908 were almost wholly absent in
1909. Of individual objects the most noted, if not the most
noteworthy, is a terracotta mould found on site xiv which has
become popularly associated— even in Punch— with the name and
fame of Mr. Harry Lauder. Its more serious aspects are dealt
with below (p. 224). Notice is also due to a small Anglo-Saxon
urn, from site xiv, and a piece of a sword scabbard of a kind
which was in use on the other side of the North Sea in the
fourth or fifth century. These fit in with the two Anglian
fibulae and beads found in 1908, and may belong to the same
grave.
The excavations were again superintended by Mr. E. H.
Forster, while Mr. W. H. Knowles again undertook the planning
and measurement of the buildings and structural remains.
Mr. Forster was also assisted by Prof. Haverfield, Mr. H. H. E.
Craster, Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, Mr. G. L. Chees-
man, Fellow of New College, and Mr. J. P. Bushe-Fox, who
were resident in Corbridge for large parts of the season. Other
friends gave valuable assistance. It is only by abundance of
helpers that the many activities involved in an extensive excava-
tion can be adequately provided, and while it is indispensable
that one competent archaeologist should give personal and con-
tinuous supervision to the actual digging, it is equally necessary
that others should be present to share in the supervision of special
buildings and pits, and to record and classify the mass of objects
found.
The illustrations contained in the present report are taken
from photographs by Mr. Bushe-Fox and Mr. J. P. Gibson, and
from drawings by Mr. Knowles.
The work will be resumed in July, 1910, on the portion of
THE GRANARY PORTICOES. 209
Corstopitum which lies directly east of the area explored in 1908.
This portion includes the hitherto unexcavated part of the great
building on site xi. It is therefore certain that the work will
he difficult and costly, hut it is hardly less certain that it will
reveal important structural remains and yield very valuable
results.
II. — THE GRANARY PORTICOES.
The chief event of 1909 from an architectural point of view
was the discovery of a pro-tetrastyle portico before the south
front of each of the granaries (fig. 1). The bases remain in situ,
with the exception of the westernmost column of the west
granary portico, where only the square plinth is left. The east
granary portico had a projection of nine feet six inches (fig. 2).
Its colonnade consists of four columns ; the bases of the two outer
columns are at the level of the earliest road, and may be con-
sidered as original and contemporary with the main building :
the others rest on foundations large enough to have carried
columns of the same design, but the surviving bases are of a
different type, and seem to indicate a later restoration. The
outer columns have a plinth three feet eight inches square by
twelve inches in height, with a circular moulded double torus
thirteen and a half inches high : the latter is rudely worked,
and the members, being of similar section and undivided by
fillets, lack refinement. The shafts, which measure two feet
six inches in diameter, are composed of built-up courses of
masonry, four inches in thickness, and have been covered with
a coating of cement, of which some traces remained. The
middle columns have bases formed of single stones, the shafts
measuring only one foot eleven inches in diameter. If we are
right in regarding this portico as contemporary in origin with
the east granary, it is not unlikely that these two columns
were damaged at the time of a disaster which occurred perhaps

in the reign of Commodus, and we may conjecturally ascribe
their restoration to Septimius Severus.
The colonnade of the west granary (fig. 3) projects only
eight feet six inches. But it will be seen from plate xxn of
the report for 1908 that the south wall of this granary is in
advance of the south wall of the neighbouring building, so that
both colonnades are approximately in the same line. The portico
of the west granary is at the level of the middle or second period
road, which envelopes the bases of the outer columns of the other
portico : the foundations have been carelessly laid, and the whole
structure is certainly of later date than the building to which
it was attached. The discovery of a silver coin of Commodus at
a level slightly lower than the foundations of one of the columns
perhaps gives a clue to the date of the portico, which may have
formed part of an extensive restoration carried out under Severus.
Such a restoration might have included a considerable amount of
rebuilding in the granary itself, and would thus help to explain
the puzzling features mentioned in last year's report.*
The bases of the west granary columns are single stones and
similar in section to the two middle bases of the east granary
portico. But the columns are only one foot seven and a half
inches in diameter: their intercolumniation is also irregular,
the space between the side columns being five feet nine inches,
as compared with nine feet ten inches between the two centre
columns. Probably this was for the purpose of facilitating access
to the loading platform. Between the two westernmost columns
was what appeared to be a couple of rough steps, leading down-
wards towards the granary, the upper surface of the higher step
being about on a level with the lower surface of the adjacent
gutter-stones of the latest (probably fourth century) street, which
thus formed a third step.

THE GRANARY PORTICOES. 213
In the course of our excavation the three successive street
levels, with the drains belonging to each, were clearly exposed.
They will be best understood by a reference to the plans and
sections (figs. 2 and 3). The earliest and second period streets
had covered drains ; the street of the latest period has been
bounded by an open channel, composed for the most part of re-
used material, in part, at least, brought from the large building
on site xi. One or two of the stones in which the channel had
been cut, still retained the rock-faced projection characteristic
of the masonry found on that site, and in many other cases the
projection had been chiselled away, but the original arris was
clearly distinguishable.
As will be seen from figs. 2 and 3 the columns of the two
porticoes, or such parts of them as then remained, had been used
as supports for the roadway of the latest and highest street, this
roadway had been further strengthened between each pair of
columns by large flat stones, placed on edge in a nearly upright
position and backed with clay. It was necessary to remove these
stones in order to expose the columns.
A further examination was made of the loading platform of
the west granary. This appeared to be of later date than the
main building and may be contemporary with the portico. In
the course of this operation the masonry of the whole of the
south front of the granary was exposed, and an opening, one
foot ten inches in width, with checked jambs and sill for a timber
door-frame, was discovered at the point marked D on the plan
(fig. 3). The sill had been below the level of the original floor of
the granary, and just above the level of the earliest street ; and
the opening had been at some time walled up without removal of
the timber door-frame, which had rotted away, leaving a few
small fragments adhering to the masonry.
214 REPORT ON THE 1909 EXCAVATIONS AT CORSTOPITTJM :
in.— SITE vni. THE 'FOUNTAIN': FIRST CENTURY AND OTHER
REMAINS.
A considerable space was excavated immediately to the south
of the tank of the ' fountain.' Clean sand was reached at a depth
of ten feet below the present surface, and the tank was found to
rest on a clay and cobble foundation placed on the surface of the
road running to the north, the lower side of the stones being
five feet below the present surface. Just to the south, and at a
lower level, were the remains of a wall about two and a half feet
thick, which was traced for a distance of about fifteen feet. Its
extent roughly corresponded with the front of the tank : the
portion remaining was one foot six inches in height, and its
foundation level was three feet four inches below the bottom
of the tank, or rather more than eight feet below the present
surface. From this wall a cross wall of the same thickness ran
south for about eight feet, and was then cut away to permit a
drain to cross in continuation of that passing in front of the east
granary (plate xxi, report for 1908, and section of the porticoes
in the present report) ; the west side of the cross wall lined with
the centre of the ' fountain.' There was some trace of the clay
and cobble foundation of another cross wall running parallel to
that just mentioned, about in a line with the west side of the
tank.
Below the foundations of these walls, and resting on the clean
sand, was a layer, one foot eight inches thick, of mixed earth
containing evidence of a still earlier occupation. Several pieces
of decorated ' Samian ' of shape 29 (first century) were found at
or near the lowest level, as well as fragments of other wares which
appear to be of first century date. Nine post holes, which must
have belonged to a timber structure of the same period, were also
discovered. Of those situated to the west of the cross wall, a
row of three was carefully excavated and measured. Their
THE FOUNTAIN, ETC. 215
depth when excavated was about two feet, but some of the upper
part was necessarily removed in the process of discovery, and it
seems likely that their original depth was two feet six inches,
and that their tops, which were surrounded by a burnt layer, had
been about on a level with the foundations of the walls just de-
scribed. The holes, which were pointed at the bottom and pene-
trated some inches into the clean sand, measured as follows: —
North hole, three inches north and south by two inches ; centre
hole, three and a quarter inches north and south by two inches ;
south hole, three and a half inches north and south by two inches.
Small fragments of wood were found adhering to the sides of the
holes. Three other postholes were found to the east of the cross
wall, two of them being close to the line of that wall, and one of
these under a drain which will presently be described. These
two were of larger size, that under the drain measuring seven and
a half inches north and south by seven inches east and west.
A somewhat complicated system of drains was found in this
area. Further investigation will be necessary before it can
be thoroughly understood, as during the past season the task of
finishing the northern part of the field made it advisable to do
less than was desired here, where work will be possible in the
future. It seems probable, however, in the first place, that even
after the final raising of the street level in front of the granaries,
the fountain remained in use, and that there was a slope from the
north side of the street to the front of the tank. This certainly
suggests that the stretch of walling shown on the plan in the
report for 1908 and fig. 2, just to the south of the south-east
corner of the east granary, was not the remains of a forecourt to
that granary, as was at one time supposed, but formed a boundary
or retaining wall on the west side of this sloping access to the
fountain. The wall in question, to judge by its construction and
the level of its foundations, is of late date. Up to the present
no trace has been found of a corresponding wall on the east, but
RfcPOKT ON THfc 1 909 fcXCAVAflONS At CO&StOtlTttM t
on this side the ground, for the reasons above stated, has not
yet been thoroughly explored.
The drain belonging to the earliest street level in front of
the granaries passes under this retaining wall. Two and a half
feet to the east, it is joined by the drain from the north, into
which, as observed in 1907, the outlet of the 'fountain' tank
had flowed. From the point of junction the drain curves south-
wards, and then runs straight, at an acute angle with the
direction of the street, for twenty-eight feet, till its line is cut by
that of another drain at a somewhat higher level, which comes
from under the south-east angle of the ' fountain ' tank : possibly
the latter drain ran into the former, but, with so much heavy
stonework to be removed, it was necessary to postpone further
investigation. To the east of the junction with the drain from
the north, the construction of these drains was comparatively
poor. With regard to the masonry foundations discovered in
front of the < fountain/ there is not sufficient evidence to show
their original extent or purpose; they may have formed part of
a building erected here after the timber structure was destroyed
and before the main street was laid out. This, however, is merely
a suggestion, and the point may be further investigated, if the
investigation which must necessarily be expensive, is considered
to be worth the cost.
An important question, on which some light has been thrown,
west cr-mar 1-1 y Wltn tne Portico of the
THE WATERCOURSE. 217
lias yielded fragments of two inscriptions by the same legion. If
we consider the workmanship, we cannot well put the ' fountain '
earlier than Severus, and the quality of the work is not in-
consistent with an even later date. If the existence of a sloping
approach from the late period street level can be satisfactorily
established, it would seem that the ' fountain ' remained in use
practically up to the end of the Roman occupation, and this
agrees with the level of the watercourse at the point where the
stones were found in position.
IV. THE WATERCOURSE.
In cutting a trial trench to the north of site xiv, an embank-
ment of 'day and rough masonry, with a slight batter to both sides,
was found and followed for some distance to the north and south
(see plan, fig*. 18). It ran in a somewhat irregular line for about
one hundred and seventy feet, the remains being of the average
height of about three feet, and for this distance the masonry,
five to six courses in height, was backed on the west side by an
embankment of clay about five feet in width. This clay was
yellowish in colour and of moderate quality, less tenacious than
the blue clay used in the foundations of the buildings of the
earlier period. To the south, the last twenty feet of the retain-
ing wall lined up with a gutter or watercourse composed of
channelled stones averaging twenty-two inches in breadth and
a foot in thickness, with a channel about nine inches wide and
four deep : it appeared to have had a covering of large flat stones,
but of these only two were found in position. This watercourse,
which had a fall from north to south, was traced southwards to
a point opposite the middle of site xn : beyond this the stones
had been removed, but a continuation of the line exactly coin-
cided with the top of the sloping retaining wall discovered in
1908 on the east side of the east granary.* The latter wall faces
* See Arch. AeL, 3 ser. vol. v, p. 344, and report, p. 40.
218 REPORT ON THE 1909 EXCAVATIONS AT CORSTOPITUM :
the west, but on examination it was found to be backed on the
east side by clay of a quality very similar to that of the clay
embankment already mentioned, and it seems probable that it
supported the southern end of the watercourse which, presum-
ably during the later period of the occupation, carried the water
supply to the ' fountain.'
To the north the retaining wall discovered in 1909 is broken
away near the north-west corner of the building on site xvn,
but it appears to have been continued as a mound of clay and
stones, shown on the plan by a dotted line, over the filled-in
ditch and so in a straight line northwards till it butts up against
a line of kerb-stones, or possibly the foundations of another re-
taining wall running east and west about eighteen feet from the
hedge: three channelled stones were found lying in the soil at
various points adjacent to the line indicated, and two others were
found just to the west of the clay bank near the point at which
the retaining wall is broken off beside site xvn, while a broken
channelled stone was found close to the same bank during the
excavation of the building on site xiv. All these stones were of
similar dimensions to those found in situ.
The question of levels, unfortunately, is not free from diffi-
culty. The present surface to the north of site xvn is lower than "
the level of the stones found in position. The latter have sunk
m several places, owing to their being laid on made ground of
varying hardness; but their covering stones seem to have been
a a level with the latest surface of the street between sites xi
m, which is probably not earlier than the middle of the
rth century. If, as has been suggested, the watercourse

ted on an embankment of some height, and that their level
, SUrfa- This, how-
eve!, appears to be not impossible, since the area to the west of
THE WATERCOURSE. 219
the line seems to have been unoccupied during the later period,
and an embankment of the necessary height would naturally be
levelled or removed when the land was brought under cultivation,
if not before that.
Another difficult question is the way in which the water
reached the point where the remains of this watercourse cease.
The sharp drop of the ground northwards at about the line of
the hedge precludes the idea that it was brought directly from
the north. But there is at the present day a good source of
supply at Milkwell farm, to the north of the modern village and
distant a little more than half a mile from the north-east corner
of the area excavated in 1909,* or Ay don burn may have been
tapped at some point where a sufficiently high level could be
obtained. In either case the supply would approach the town
from the east, or a little north of east, and it is perhaps not an
unfeasible suggestion that the kerb upon which the * fountain '
watercourse abuts may represent the southern edge of an em-
bankment carrying the main aqueduct, which here threw off a
branch to the south and passed on to the western quarter of the
town. This, however, is a suggestion only. We must wait for
further light until the ground east and west of last year's area
is excavated.
The watercourse to the 'fountain,' if such it be, appears to
be of comparatively late date, though it may have been preceded
by an earlier aqueduct. It is clear, in the first place, that at
the date of its construction the building on site xiv was practi-
cally destroyed ; and the coins and other objects found in this
building tend to show that it was probably erected in the first
half of the second century, while its remains had become covered
* The line from these springs to the suggested embankment would pass the
spot in the angle between Cow lane and the Stagshaw road, where channelled
stones were found in situ some years ago. The levels are said to be favourable for
a watercourse following this route.
220 REPORT ON THE 1 909 EXCAVATIONS AT CORSTOPITUM.
with two to three feet of earth before the clay embankment was
carried over its site. It is also clear that at the same date the
building on site xvn was still standing, as the line of the water-
course is diverted to avoid it: the coins found in this building
range from Gallienus (A.D. 260-268) to Gratian (A.D. 375-383).
Six coins of the first half of the fourth century were found beside
the retaining wall of the watercourse, and of these one Urbs
Roma (A.D. 335-337) and one of Constans (A.D. 340-342) were
found on the bed of clay. These facts, taken in conjunction with
the level of the channelled stones found in situ, tend to show
that the watercourse was constructed, or more probably recon-
structed, in the fourth century.
v. — SITE xiv.
The northern part of this site (fig. 5) had been occupied by
an oblong rectangular building, measuring externally fifty-four
feet by twenty-three. Except at one or two points towards the
west end, practically nothing of it remained above the foundation
course, and the east end was traced by the clay and cobble
foundation. The clay was blue and very tough, and waterworn
cobbles had been used, some of them being of fairly large size.'
At. the foundation level the building had been divided in-
ternally into six compartments of approximately equal size by
cross walls two feet thick, resting on clay and cobble foundations
In each compartment there had been three masonry pillars, about
two feet square, on foundations of the same kind : two of these
1 ars were standing to a height of about three feet, while many
had entirely disappeared but could be traced by means of the clay
cobbles It is to be noticed that the space between the
rthernand centre pillars is in every case less than that between
he centre and southern. As the compartments measure in-
ternally only slxteen feet by six, it is fairly clear that they cannot
222 REPORT ON THE 1 909 EXCAVATIONS AT CORSTOPITTTM.
represent separate rooms into which the building was divided ;
for in that case the masonry pillars would only form a useless
obstruction. It is probable that some of the cross walls and all
the pillars were of no great height, and that they supported a
raised floor, similar to those of the east and west granaries, but
arranged on a different system : the space beneath this floor may
have been ventilated by openings similar to those found in 1908,
but unfortunately there was no point at which the outer wall re-
mained standing to a sufficient height to show whether such
openings had originally existed or not. There were the remains
of what appeared to be a buttress opposite the north end of the
first cross wall from the west, and traces of something similar
were found opposite the south end of the same cross wall. On the
whole it seems likely that we have here the remains of some
kind of storehouse or granary erected in the first half of the
second century. The top of the clay and cobble foundation was
from six to seven feet below the present surface, and no late
coins were found on the site, except in the surface soil ; of the
coins which occurred at a lower level seven were minted under
Trajan and ten under Hadrian, five are earlier than Trajan, and
the only coins later than Hadrian are two of Antoninus Pius and
one of Severus Alexander.
The building was almost completely destroyed and its
materials to a large extent removed during the Roman occupation
™gh the site may have been occupied for some outdoor purpose
ter the destruction, as two or three small areas of flag pave-
ment were found at from eighteen inches to three feet below the
present surface. The lower part of the site was covered with a
ttum about three feet thick, consisting largely of lime and
'oken stones, surmounted by a thin layer of burnt bones, which

224 REPORT ON THE 1 909 EXCAVATIONS AT CORSTOPITUM :
The site, down to the foundation level of the building, yielded
a considerable amount of ' Samian ' and other pottery, the
' Samian ' including no fragments that could be assigned to an
earlier date than the second century. The other minor finds
included a few bronze fibulae, an engraved stone from a ring,
bearing a figure of Mars, two small lamps, one bearing the stamp
FORTIS, both of which occurred in the upper soil, and about
the usual quantity of small objects of iron.
The most noteworthy object discovered was a baked red clay
mould, measuring five and three-quarter inches in length, three
and three-quarter inches in breadth, and about three-quarters of
an inch in thickness, for the production, presumably on pottery
of local manufacture, of a figure in relief, four and a half
inches high. The illustration (fig. 6), on the opposite page, is
reproduced from a photograph of a cast taken from the mould.
The figure is that of a bearded male, clad in an undergarment,
possibly of skin or hide, which falls over the right knee and may
have been fastened by a brooch on the left shoulder, and a
shorter upper garment, apparently of some textile fabric, which is
fastened by a brooch on the right shoulder and falls a little below
the waist. His legs and feet are bare, and on his head he wears-
a hat or helmet, terminating in a large round knob. His right
hand rests on the handle of a curious crooked club, which may be
intended to represent a piece of roughly trimmed tree-branch.
On his left arm he carries an oblong and apparently convex
shield, on which is incised a line forming a segment of a circle
and extending from the upper to the lower right-hand corner :
the space so enclosed is ornamented with incised circles, and
about the centre of it is shown the boss of the shield, which
appears to be more or less conical, with a flange at the base. The
position of this boss, which appears to be nearer to the right than
to the left edge of the shield, might perhaps indicate that the
shield had two bosses ; but on the whole it seems much more
FIG. 6.— ROMANO-BRITISH GOD (?).

226 REPORT OX THE 1 909 EXCAVATIONS AT CORSTOPITUM :
likely that the artist did not possess sufficient .skill to show the
proper perspective, and that he has placed the boss in the centre
of the part of the shield visible to the spectator. To the left of
the left leg of the figure is a representation of an eight-spoked
wheel. The mould has evidently been made from a modelled
figure, and has been touched up with a graving tool. In style
and workmanship the figure bears a strong resemblance to that
which appears on two fragments of dark-grey pottery found in
1908 on site xn, at a point not many yards distant from site xiv.*
On the subject of this figure professor Haverfield thus
writes : —
' The figure shewn by the mould seems to represent, or to be based on a
representation of a figure of a Romano-British god, though here, as in so many
minor classical remains, the line between a religious figure and mere ornament
is not easy to draw. We have a warrior armed with a metal cap on which the
fitting of the plume and crest is plain, a shield shewn perhaps in half — that is,
in barbarous perspective — and a crooked stick, to which I can cite no parallel.
IP addition, he is accompanied by a wheel which is a well known and familiar
Celtic religious emblem. The fragments found in 1908 represent part of a
similar figure, differently capped and armed with a brandished axe. A similar
mould, but more classical in style and art, has been found in London, and is
now in the Guildhall Museum. The plaques made in such moulds were, I
imagine, affixed to the outsides of large vases and similar surfaces, in the
manner of reliefs d'aprfique, but I have no definite facts to quote in this
respect.'
A yet more important feature of site xiv was a pit containing
first-century relics. In excavating the eastern end of the build-
ing it was found that while the clay and cobble foundations of
the four cross walls nearest the west end rested on, or very near
the undisturbed sand, to the east of the fourth there appeared to
be a sharp dip. Accordingly, that end of the building was
rfully examined, though this necessitated very heavy work
and the results gave ample compensation. It was found that the
n-y pillar in the south-east angle of the building had sunk

about two feet below the level of its neighbours, and it became
evident that it had been set over a filled-in rubbish pit. This
pit, when cleared, was found to be six feet six inches in diameter,
and the bottom of it was fourteen feet six inches below the
present surface : the original surface level, of the date when the
pit was dug, was found at a depth of ten feet, and the pit pene-
trated the hard gravel at a level two feet one inch lower.
Besides a quantity of bones, the pit contained fragments of
a decorated * Samian ' bowl of shape 29, and about two-thirds of
& decorated bowl of shape 30, both of which may safely be re-
garded as first-century work. With these were found a few
fragments of grey and buff wares closely resembling specimens
found by Mr. James Curie at Newstead in the earliest fort ditch.
Mr. Curie has examined the pottery found in this pit and else-
where at Corbridge at low levels, and agrees with the conclus-
ions expressed in this report as to its early date. The pottery
will be more fully described in a future report.
Another pit was found and cleared, a few feet to the north
of the pit just described. At the original surface level, which
was here about nine feet below the present surface, this pit was
about six feet-in diameter, but it diminished in width as it went
down, coming almost to a point at the bottom, which was twelve
feet six inches below the present surface. Probably it had been
only partially dug; certainly, nothing was found in it but one
small piece of plain * Samian ' of an early shape.
The area immediately to the south of the building just de-
scribed appeared to have been an open court or yard. One or
two small patches of rough flag pavement, found about eighteen
inches below the surface, probably belong to the latest period of
the occupation. A stretch of wall, about twenty-four feet in
length and two in thickness, found on the west side in line with
the west wall of the building to the north, appeared to be of
earlier date, as its foundations lay between five and six feet
228 REPORT ON THE 1909 EXCAVATIONS AT CORSTOPITUM :
below the present surface. On the east side was a fragment,
fifteen feet long, of a covered stone drain : no more than this
fragment was found, and possibly we have here the remains of
an earlier watercourse, the rest of which was destroyed when the
later watercourse was constructed on the clay embankment at a
higher level.
The soil covering this area was very black and particularly
rich in small finds, including a number of bronze fibulae, a bronze
ring with a small stone showing a figure and a larger bezel-
stone engraved with a figure.
The pottery included pieces of a small vase of black ware
with incised ornament, which appears to be of Anglo-Saxon
origin. One of these pieces was found inside a small, cist-like
receptacle at A, near the southern edge of the site. This re-
ceptacle measured two feet three inches by one foot six inches ;
its sides were formed of fiat slabs of stone, and its bottom was the
hard gravel which here forms the subsoil. Its contents were
quite miscellaneous and plainly fortuitous : they included the
piece already mentioned, a few fragments of ' Sainian ' and other
Roman pottery, a large knife, several lumps of rusted ironwork,
and many bones pig, sheep or cattle — most of which had been
broken for the purpose of extracting the marrow. To the east
and north-east of the spot, iron objects and pieces of what ap-
peared to be thin bar iron were abundant, and suggested that
some kind of smith-work had been carried on there. In this case
the stone receptacle may have been a small cooling or tempering
tank, though it cannot easily have been made watertight.
VI. — SITE XV.
This site included a considerable space of ground adjacent
to the west hedge of the field. Traces were found in it of a
continuation northwards of the street dividing sites x and xn
•om sites ix and xm, but the remains were meagre and most of
SITES XV AND XVI. 229
the cobble pavement had been removed. A paved street was
also found running westwards, about at right angles to the line
of the street already mentioned. The only building remains
discovered were those of a roughly circular kiln or furnace, about
six feet in diameter, constructed of stones put together with clay,
and showing strong signs of burning. The rest of the area was
carefully trenched, and was found to be covered with disturbed
earth which increased in thickness towards the west, reaching a
depth of seven feet six inches close against the hedge ; but though
it produced some coins and a fair quantity of pottery and other
small objects, no traces of buildings were discovered, and it
seems probable that in Roman times this was an open space.
VII. SITE XVI.
This site, measuring about ninety feet by eighty, lies immedi-
ately to the north of site xi, and was found to be in a state of
almost hopeless confusion, due not only to post-Roman digging
for stone, but also to the fact that in Roman times there had
been at least three occupation levels, and the buildings or other
structures of the different periods had not occupied the same
sites. The lowest foundations discovered were those of a rect-
angular building, one of the chambers of which was twenty-five
feet square, the north wall being continued on either side : at
the north-east, where shown on the plan, there was walling at the
same level and of similar construction, rough flagged pavement
also occurred where indicated. These foundations were on a
level with the foundations of the north wall of the building on
site xi, about seven and a half feet below the present surface, and
the two buildings had been separated by a paved street sixteen
feet in width. The northern part of the site had also been
occupied at an early period, but no definite trace of any building
could be found. Near the north-west corner a small rubbish pit
was discovered.
230 REPOKT ON THE 1909 EXCAVATIONS AT CORSTOPITTTM :
About the middle of the site, and at a higher level than the
foundations already mentioned, were two rough stone structures,
approximately circular in plan and about four feet in diameter,
resting on made ground : possibly they may have been tanks or
vats of some kind, but there was no indication of their having
been made water-tight. A little to the south-east of these were
the remains of a circular building, measuring fifteen feet in
internal diameter; the foundations were about three feet below
the present surface, and the walls, which remained standing to a
height of from one to two feet, were two feet in thickness and of
poor quality. Nothing was found in the interior of the building
which gave any clue to its use. Between this and the square
building, at B on the plan (fig. 13), was a small cist or cistern
20 inches by 13 inches by 15 inches in height with flagged sides
and bottom. To the east and north-east of this building was a
stretch of wall-foundation, running north-east and south-west,
and not parallel or at right angles to any other foundation on
the site; it was broken away at either end, and its level was
about the same as that of the foundations of the circular
building. Just below the present surface a stone channel or
drain, evidently of the latest period, was found crossing the
southern part of the site : about seventy feet from the eastern
limit of the reserved area it was joined by a similar but smaller
drain from the north, and about thirty feet further to the west
it curved southwards and had apparently passed along the street
between sites xi and xn, but it was broken away before the curve
was completed. The sides were composed of fairly heavy stones,
and the bottom was of earth or gravel : one or two heavy cover-
ing slabs were found in position.
Pottery was fairly abundant on this site, and some fragments
of decorated ' Samian ' of shape 30 came from the lowest level •
these, however, do not appear to be of quite so early a date as
the bowl of the same shape found in the rubbish pit on site xiv
SITE XVI.

A silver coin of Galba came from the small rubbish pit, and one
of the rough tanks produced a coin of Nero and a silver coin of

Julia Domna. A considerable number of coins, ranging from
Vespasian to Marcus Aurelius and including nine of Trajan, came
from the low levels or the earth just above them : a number of
232 REPORT Otf THE 1909 EXCAVATIONS AT CORSTOPITtTM !
later coins were also found, beginning with Septimius Severus
and ending with Gratian, but these were all found within three
feet of the surface.
The most remarkable object found on this site was the sculp-
tured panel (fig. 7), measuring sixteen inches in height and fifteen
and a quarter inches in breadth, which was discovered a little more
than a foot below the surface near the south side of the circular
building. It bears a representation in relief of two draped
female figures of unequal size : the larger figure, on the right,
is seated, and in her right hand, which rests on her lap, she
holds a round or oval object, the nature of which is not clear,
while her left hand, which is raised to the level of the face,
grasps an upright rod or wand, which seems to have had some
sort of ornament at the top ; on her right is a pedestal, or
possibly an altar, on which is perched what may possibly be a
cock. The other figure, which is standing, appears to be a
representation of Fortune ; in her right hand she holds a rudder,
and in her left a cornucopia, which rests against the left shoulder.
VIII. — SITE XVIII.
Of this site, which may most conveniently be taken next,
there is little to be said, as much the same confusion existed
here as was found on site xvi. The remains of a small oblong
building, measuring internally seventeen feet six inches by
twelve feet, were traced, and as the floor level was over four feet
below the present surface, it may be of comparatively early date,
but nothing was found to throw any light on its character. A
little to the west of this were the remains of a wall of very poor
masonry, with a buttress on the east, and on the west, near the
north end, some flag pavement and the remains of a trough made
of flat stones. A coin of Antoninus Pius was found by the base
this wall at a depth of four feet, but the only other coins un-
earthed were one of Constantius n (after A.D. 350), two of Valens
SITES XVIII AND XVIt, ETC. 238
and two of Gratian. These were all found less than two and a
half feet below the surface.
IX. SITE XVII : BATH-HOUSE AND FURNACE.
This site (fig. 8), lying to the north of sites xiv and xvm,
produced more definite and interesting remains. Close to the
eastern side of the watercourse embankment was a building
measuring originally forty-six feet from east to west and eigh-
teen feet from north to south : the main walls were two feet in
thickness, and remained standing to an average height of two
feet, the foundations being three feet ten inches below the
present surface on the north side and two feet eleven inches on
the south. The interior of the building had been divided into
three rooms, that to the east measuring fourteen feet by nine
feet six inches, and the others about fourteen feet square, and
each room had been heated by a pillared hypocaust, the furnace
for the whole building being at the west end, while the hypo-
causts were connected by a single opening through the party wall
between the west and centre rooms, and two openings in the
other party wall. The pilae were very roughly built of stone,
except in the case of a few in the east room, where single stones
had been used, and their foundations, as well as the floor level
of the hypocausts, were about ten inches above the foundation
level of the main walls. Only a single broken flagstone of the
flooring was found, but there were many fragments of the upper
layer, which seems to have been of hard white cement, faced
with opus signinum of good quality. The flue, by which the
heat passed through the west main wall, had been faced on both
sides, and probably also turned, with what at first sight ap-
peared to be flat bricks ; but on further examination they proved
to be flanged roofing tiles : in some cases the flanges had been
broken off, but in others the space between the flanges had been
filled up with cement.
SITE XVII I BATH-HOUSE AND FURNACE. 235
At some date subsequent to the original construction of the
building important alterations had been made. Apsidal ad-
ditions had been constructed on the north sides of the east and
west rooms, the new walls, which are of fairly good masonry,
being butted against the original north walls, a portion of which,
where it adjoined the chord of the eastern apse, was found to have
been removed down to the foundation level. This apse (fig. 9),
which is twelve feet in width and projects eight feet, had a
flagged floor, without hypocaust, with a fillet of opus signinum
at the junction of the floor with the inner face of the wall, not
only on the semicircular side, but also along the chord, where
presumably there had been a low wall dividing the apse from
the east room, and so forming a tank or bath, having an outlet
by a pot pipe drain through the east side of the curved wall. The
level of the floor of this tank was about a foot lower than what,
so far as could be calculated, must have been the floor level of
the main building. In the case of the apse added to the west
room, the original main wall had been pierced and the hypocaust
extended as shown on the plan. This apse was fourteen feet
wide, with a projection of eight feet.
About the centre of the main east wall a buttress of solid
masonry, nine feet long and four feet thick, had at some period
been added, probably because the walling of the building showed
signs of slipping ; and there was evidence that in Roman times
the ground here sloped towards the east. At the other end of
the building the stokehole seems at some date to have been
enlarged : two side walls were built of poor masonry, about in
line with the original north and south walls, and two blocks of
similar masonry were added near the main flue of the hypocaust.
Possibly this may have been done for the purpose of increasing
the heating power and for the support of water cisterns by
making a triple furnace in place of a single one : at any rate
the heavy black deposit of the stokehole covered the whole space
SITE XVII : BATH-HOUSE AND FURNACE. 237
between the side walls, just to the west of the blocks of masonry
in question.
An examination of the south wall of the original building
showed traces of a slightly splayed doorway with recesses for
jambs, which had opened into the centre room but had subse-
quently been walled up. More doubtful traces of another
walled-up doorway were found about the centre of the south wall
of the west room. In either case the sills had been removed and
it was difficult to determine exactly the sill level. It could not,
however, have been as high as the level of the tops of the pilae,
and this may possibly suggest that the building in its original
state had no hypocaust. Indeed, it is possible that the hypo-
causts were introduced when the apsidal additions were made,
and that the tile-faced flue through the west wall was of later
date than the wall itself. This latter conclusion is not at all
improbable in itself, as the blocks of masonry, which prolong the
flue after its passage through the main wall, did not appear to
be bonded to the wall.
The doors mentioned, if they in fact existed, seem to have
opened upon a walk or terrace along the south front of the build-
ing, where we found both traces of cobble pavement and about
forty-eight feet of stone gutter, broken away at each end. Near
the south-east corner of the building, and nine feet to the south
of its south wall, a long stretch of wall, about two feet thick
with a footing on the south side, was discovered and traced in an
easterly direction for eighty-six feet : probably it had also ex-
tended farther towards the west, but beyond the point shown on
the plan no trace of it was to be found. At its east end another
wall was butted against it at right angles, and appeared to be the
boundary of a paved road or path, but sixteen feet from the
point of junction this second wall made a return to the west, and
at the end of about another sixteen feet was completely broken
away. It seems possible that the longer wall may have been the
238 REPORT ON THE 1 909 EXCAVATIONS AT CORSTOPITUM :
retaining wall of a terrace forming a continuation of the walk
in front of the main building, but trenches cut through the area
to the north of it failed to produce any evidence bearing on the
point.
The coins found inside the building were all of comparatively
late date; they are seven in number, ranging from Gallienus
to Gratian. A silver coin of Vespasian was found on the gravel
on the south side of the building, at a depth of four feet, and a
silver coin of Titus occurred at a depth of about four feet outside
the west apse, but these cannot be taken as proof of the early con-
struction of the 'building, though there may well have been some
kind of occupation before its erection, as on the north side three
and on the south four feet of made earth was found below the
foundations of the main walls before the clean sand was reached.
Pottery was not abundant on this site, but from the interior of
the building came a large number of fragments of what have been
termed 'hand-bricks,' and appear to have been used as stands
for pottery in process of manufacture, either during the drying
previous to firing, or in the kiln. These objects have apparently
been made of brick-earth burnt hard : most of them have been
more or less barrel-shaped, the barrel being slightly thickened
at the lower end, with a roughly chamfered flange at each end
and a flat, roughly circular surface at top and bottom ; and each
has a cylindrical hole pierced through its axis. The dimensions
taken from an average specimen are as follows: — Height, four
and a half inches ; diameter of upper surface, three to three and
a quarter inches; diameter of lower surface, three and a half
inches; diameter of barrel, two and an eighth to two and a half
inches ; diameter of hole, three quarters to seven eighths of an
inch.*
* In his book on Vinovia (London, 1891), the Rev. R. E. Hoopell mentions
the discovery on the floor of the circular hypocaust at Binchester of ' a number of
objects of terra cotta, made exactly after the fashion of a modern bobbin ; that
SITE XVII: BATH-HOUSE AKD FURNACE. 239
Heavy signs of burning were found in the angle between the
north of the building and the west side of the east apse, and a
further investigation of the adjacent ground was made, which
resulted in the discovery of remains which appear to be those
of a bloomery or furnace for smelting iron (figs. 8 and 10). The
body of the furnace was roughly circular, with a diameter of
nine feet three inches over all and five feet three inches in-
ternally, and it was divided from the exterior face of the eastern
apse of the building by a space of two feet : on the west side
the circular wall was interrupted by an opening about eighteen
inches wide, narrowed at the bottom to ten inches, from the
sides of which two straight wing walls had been carried in a
westerly direction for about four feet, forming between them
a fairly acute angle, as shown on the plan. The remains of
the enclosing wall were constructed of rough stones, put
together with clay, which, where it appeared at the joints on
the inner side, had been burnt hard and to a bright red ; at
the exterior joints the clay had been turned by the heat to a
dull red, and was still fairly soft. The bottom of the furnace
appeared to have been formed by the hard natural gravel, but
there were traces of a ring of clay round the base of the wall.
The fire seemed to have been situated in the very jaws of the
opening, where there was a thick deposit of black burnt matter,
containing many fragments of charcoal (see figs. 8 and 10).
Some fragments of ironstone, a good deal of broken up lime-
stone, and a few pieces of slag were found in the immediate
neighbourhood of the furnace, but the most important object
discovered was the large lump of iron shown in fig. 15. The
lump is three feet four inches long, seven inches square at the
is, of a reel, intended for receiving, by winding, thread or yarn. There were
seven or eight of them, none of them quite perfect, but several very nearly so.
They are about six inches in height and about three inches across at the ends.
They are perforated also throughout their entire length. '
K
SITE XVII I BATH-HOUSE AND FURNACE. 241
thicker end, and about four and a half inches square just above
the rounded foot : the thicker end is ragged, and that part of
the metal appears to have small fragments of slag embedded in it ;
its weight has been calculated at about three and a half hundred-
weight. The lump was found standing in the soil in a nearly
upright position in the centre of the circular part of the furnace,
with the rounded thinner end resting in a hollow in the gravel
which had apparently been formed by the weight of the iron.
So far as we are aware, this is the largest mass of iron, pre-
sumably of Roman manufacture, which has yet been discovered in
this country, and several points have already been raised in
connexion with it. In shape and size it resembles the pigs made
at the iron furnaces near Bellingham in the North Tyne valley
about sixty years ago, and also, we are informed, the ' single-
run pig' which was in former times produced in Sussex. Pro-
fessor Louis, however, takes a different view with regard to the
furnace, the lump of iron, and the ' hand-bricks.' His report
is printed on page 265, but only as a statement of one side of a
highly controversial question. It is hoped that a mass of expert
opinion may be obtained on the subject during the present year,
and that the matter may be more fully dealt with in the next
report.
It seems fairly clear that, at any rate after the addition of
the two apses, the building was used as a small bath-house. Some
difficulty, indeed, arises from the fact that no trace was found
of vestibule or dressing-rooms or latrines, but their apparent
absence is not wholly without precedent, and it is possible that
in the present case they may have been of wood. On the other
hand, the fragments of 'hand-bricks,' which with the exception
of two pieces found just outside the west end, occurred only
within the hypocaust, may just possibly mean that at a still later
period the bath was abandoned and the building used as the dry-
ing room of a potteiy. The mould found on site xiv (fig. 6, p. 225)

suggests that pottery was locally manufactured ; drying by arti-
ficial heat is a not uncommon practice in pottery-making, and
is, indeed, not infrequently used to-day in brickmaking in the
north of England. Here it may have been resorted to in conse-
quence of the climate. This suggestion, however, is merely
offered in default of a better explanation. It must be admitted
that the absence of anything resembling a pottery kiln is against
it.
X. SITE XVII, WEST.
This site adjoined site xvn, being separated from it by the
watercourse embankment. It had originally been occupied by
a buttressed building, eighteen feet four inches in width on the
interior and of uncertain length (fig. 13) : the east wall was in line
with a stretch of wall found further to the north, which had been
carried across the filled-in ditch ; but as the farthest point at
which this latter wall was traced— and even there no return was
found— was one hundred and twelve feet from the south-east
corner of the building, it is not likely that they are parts of the
same structure, though there were strong traces of a clay and
cobble foundation connecting them : it may be noticed that the
southern portion of the wall has a footing on the east side
whereas the northern stretch has none. It is perhaps safer to
put down the latter part as a boundary wall used in connexion
with the building, or a reconstruction of the building, at a com-
paratively late date. A reconstruction or alteration of some
kind seems certainly to have been made. The cross wall, nine
teet north of the original south wall, must be an addition, as
it spanned the remains of the east wall, leaving a narrow opening
ram adjoining the east wall and beneath the portion of the
wall winch projects beyond it, and there were also traces
f another foundation a little further to the south, not at right
angles to the east and west walls; but the eviden e obtain t
SITES XVII WEST AND XIX. 243
was meagre and confused, and afforded no clue to the nature of
the building or the purpose it had served at any period of its
existence. The four coins found on the site— Nerva, Trajan,
Faustina n, Tetricus n — are too few to date the building. A
fair amount of ' Samian ' and other pottery was unearthed here,
but the finds included nothing that could be dated as earlier than
the second century. Perhaps the most noteworthy object was
a barbed bronze fish-hook, about half an inch in width, with a
shank of square section, about an eighth of an inch thick, ter-
minating in a loop of flat metal.
XI. SITE XIX.
This site, which lay to the north-east of site xvn, had been
occupied by an almost square building, measuring about seven-
teen feet square on the interior, with an apse on the north side,
measuring seventeen feet across the base and projecting five feet.
The walls were fairly massive, being two feet six inches thick,
but the stones were very roughly dressed and the masonry poor :
the ends of the apse wall had been bonded into the main north
wall (fig. 13). The floor was of plain gravel, and there seemed to
have been a depression or shallow pit near the north-west corner.
About the centre of the west side was an opening five feet wide,
which appeared at one time to have been arched : indeed, on the
south side the springers and two voussoirs of the arch remained
in position, though all traces of the north side had vanished.
As the arch sprang practically from the foundation level, the
crown would not have been high enough to form a doorway ; on
the other hand, it is rather too large for a furnace flue, and we
detected no trace of a hypocaust within the building. The apse
is irregularly placed and its interior space was very small. A
considerable amount of burnt clay was found in this part of the
building, and this may suggest that the apse formed some kind
of kiln or oven.
244 REPORT ON THE 1909 EXCAVATIONS AT CORSTOPITUM.
The opening- on the west side had been, probably at a late
period, blocked by a rough wall which formed one side of the
flue leading from a small furnace to a little hypocaust, of which
very fragmentary traces remained on the west side of the main
building; a few pieces of box-tile were found in this quarter.
About twelve feet to the east of the north-east corner of the
main building was a small receptacle, measuring sixteen inches
bj fourteen on the inside ; the sides were formed of slabs of stone
two inches thick with a gravel bottom and showed strong traces
of burning.
As to the purpose of the building, there was no evidence to
justify any positive conclusion, though its position and the
roughness of its masonry would harmonise with the idea that it
was of an industrial character. Here again the scanty coins
give us no guidance. Only four — two of Marcus Aurelius, one
of Salonina, and one of Constantine n (A.D. 337-340)— were
found within the building, from one to two feet below the
surface.
XII.- -THE NORTH DITCH.
In following the stretch of wall to the north of site xvn west,
we observed that one part of the foundations had sunk. Search
was accordingly made below this part, and the existence of a
ditch was proved by a series of cuts at frequent intervals carried
right across the field (figs. 11 and 13). This ditch varied a little
in contour, and averaged about twelve feet in width and four and
a half feet in depth from lip to lip of the original surface, the
bottom being at an average depth of eight feet below the present
surface. Near the west side of the field it made a slight bend
towards the south, and the configuration of the ground in the
next field makes it probable that this bend is increased further
to the west.
I
246 REPORT ON THE 1 909 EXCAVATIONS AT CORSTOPITUM :
No trace was found of any rampart. But the ditch had
evidently been filled up in Roman times, and the material of a
rampart, if any existed, would naturally have been used for
that purpose. The ditch itself produced practically no pottery
or other objects ; in one cut there was a deposit of black matter,
apparently sewage. In cut iv (figs. 11 and 13), on the new
surface formed by the filling-in, was a deposit of charcoal and
above it a quantity of partially burnt shale.
XIII. — -THE NORTH AREA.
The space between the line of the ditch and the north hedge
of the field yielded a considerable amount of evidence of occupa-
tion, or perhaps of use rather than of occupation, in Roman
times. Only one small fragment of walling was found, but
several stretches of cobble pavement lay within a short distance,
of the present surface, and running nearly parallel with the
ditch was the kerb or foundation of an embankment which has
already been mentioned in section iv. This kerb is laid upon
made ground, and it appears probable that the brow of the north
slope was gradually pushed forward during the course of- the
Roman occupation ; but the existence of the slope was clearly
proved by cuts close to the present hedge, and the foot of it was
marked by a peaty deposit, which lay about eight feet below the
present surface. It has been suggested that this slope was in
fact the scarp of another ditch, but the bottom of the peaty
deposit, so far as it could be traced, was flat, or still sloping
slightly downwards, and in the absence of any trace of a counter-
scarp it seems more probable that the slope was a natural one,
with marshy ground at its foot. Immediately to the north of
the hedge is the Corbridge and Beaufront road, and the field
on the farther side, extending from the road northwards to the
Cor-burn lies at a lower level, and is still rendered swampy by

heavy rains. Although the question needs further investigation,
it seems at present to be probable that in the direction we have
reached the limits of the Roman town, and that on the north, as
on the south, the lines laid down in Maclauchlan's survey are
approximately, though only approximately, correct.

248 REPORT ON THE 1909 EXCAVATIONS AT COBSTOP1TUM :
THE COINS.
BY H. H. E. CBASTEB, M.A.
Although the excavations of 1909 produced no find of coins
so remarkable as the hoard of aurei unearthed in the preceding
year, numerous coins were discovered in the course of the season.
The total number amounted to over four hundred and fifty, as
compared with nearly eight hundred (apart from hoards) found
in 1908. The decrease is mainly due to the absence of intact
buildings, like the granaries, from the year's field of operations ;
for it is on the floor of such buildings that coins are apt to be
particularly numerous. What is chiefly noticeable in the year's
finds is the large proportion of coins of the first and second
centuries. Putting aside forty coins which could not be identi-
fied (many of them ases of the first two centuries), and between
sixty and seventy coins of barbarous fabric,1 there are, among the
remaining 353 coins, 136 prior to Septimius Severus and 217-
coins of later date ; a proportion of seven to eleven as compared
with a proportion of one to eleven for 1908. Here the numis-
matic evidence is in accord with that furnished by the pottery,
early specimens being much more numerous than in previous
years.
The prevalence of coins of the Flavian emperors, now for the
first time found in any number at Corstopitum, favours, though
it cannot be taken to prove, first-century occupation. The
following table summarises the finds of coins, earlier than
Severus, made in the whole course of the excavations : —
1 Two English halfpennies— one of William in and one of George n-were
also found, but no other post-Roman coins.

The evidence of coins is more satisfactory for fixing the ter-
mination than it is for establishing the commencement of occupa-
tion. A coin of Arcadius with SALVS KEIPVBLICAE reverse, a type
not used by the moneyers of Maximus, appears to carry the
occupation up to and after 388 ; for, though it is rash to draw
inferences from a single coin, the present example is simply the
latest in a consecutive series ; and its evidence is supported by
the presence of coins of Valentinian n and Arcadius bearing the
slightly earlier reverse — VICTORIA AVGGG. It follows that the
gold hoard had been deposited in its hiding place, or had ceased
to be added to, three or four years before Corstopitum was finally
abandoned.
A full list is given below of all coins earlier in date than A.D.
260 found in the course of the past season. References for fuller
description are made to Babelon's Monnaies de la Republique
Romaine (cited as B) and to Cohen's Medailles Imperiales, second
edition (cited as C). In place of the old classification into silver
and first and second brass, the coins are given the values which
250 REPORT ON THE 1909 EXCAVATIONS AT CORSTOPITUM :
they possessed in the Roman monetary system denarius (D),
sesterce (S), dupondius (Du) and as (As). By way of explanation
it may be stated that the dupondius and the as, usually con-
founded under the title of 'second brass/ are distinguishable, in
the case of coins of reigning emperors, by the character of the
head on the obverse ; and that the emperor's head is radiated on
the dupondius and laureated on the as. The figures within
square brackets show the number of examples of each type.
To catalogue in full, year by year, all the coins of the second
half of the third, and of the fourth, centuries, found in the course
of the season, may be thought unnecessary. The long list printed
in the report for 1908 will serve to indicate the emperors, types,
and mints represented ; and these are likely to recur, as they
recurred during the past year, with slight variation. Examples
of the common types of the fourth century — GLORIA EXERCITVS,
VICTORIAE DD. AVGG. Q. NN., FEL. TEMP. REPARATIO, GLORIA ROMANO-
RVM, and SECVRITAS REIPVBLICAE, depend for their interest upon
the proportions in which the various mints and issues occur. A
detailed classification of last year's finds would add little, if any-
thing, to the knowledge given to us by the previous year; and
the further examination of fourth century coins can therefore be
safely deferred until a later stage in the excavations, when the
results can be summarised with less labour and with greater
certainty. The second table is therefore confined to those types,
later in date than A.D. 260, which have come to light in the course
of 1909, but have not been previously met with at Corstopitum.
A word may be said on the subject of mints. Up to the time
of Gordian in the bulk -of the currency was minted at Rome, and
it is still open to doubt whether there were provincial mints in
western Europe regularly operating before his reign. With
more material to work upon, it may become possible to assign to
local mints certain types of frequent occurrence on British sites,
but rare in other parts of the empire. Thus eight ases of the
NOTES ON THE COINS FOUND. 251
reign of Pius were found at Corstopitum in the past year, of which
three bore the BRITANNIA reverse struck in 155 ; and this fact
supports the theory recently advanced by Mr. F. A. Walters,
upon the evidence of a hoard found at Croydon, that the BRIT-
ANNIA 'coins were minted in Britain.2 Another case in point is
provided by a rare, and possibly unpublished, denarius of Ves-
pasian, with cos. ITER TR. POT. reverse. Out of nine denarii of
Vespasian found at Corstopitum we get three examples of this
type.
The supply of coins minted at Rome comes to a sudden stop
with the death of Claudius Grothicus, a circumstance probably
due to the establishment of mints at Trier in 273 and at London
in 287. From this time onward, as might be expected, the
British and Gallic mints hold the field. Coins from Tarraco in
Spain are not uncommon, but, with one exception, they all fall
within the years 260 and 270. Aquileia is represented by coins
of Valentinian i, and of that emperor only. On the other hand,
there is a constant though small infiltration of coins from Siscia
in Pannonia.
As was pointed out in the last report, copper coinage, as repre-
sented upon this site, becomes rare under Marcus Aurelius ; and
sesterce, dupondius and as are not met with at all after the reign
of Commodus. Similarly the denarius aeris instituted by
Aurelian and the follis introduced by Diocletian, are almost
wholly absent. The reason for this gap in the coin-series is
probably the same in both cases. It is not necessary to suppose
that the debasement of the copper coinage under Constantine,
or the conversion of a silver into a copper coinage under
Grallienus, was accompanied by any systematic withdrawal of
the heavier types of copper coin then in circulation, although an
instance of such an order exists in Honorfus's and Arcadius's
2 Numismatic Chronicle, 4th ser., vol. vu, pp. 359-363.

rescript of 397.3 Without any specific enactment natural causes
would operate to send the good coins across the frontier or into
the melting pot; for Gresham's law is more potent than the
rescript of any Roman emperor.
At both these epochs the reduction in weight of the copper
coinage was followed hy unlimited government issues ; and on
both occasions the government was unable to check the uttering
of forged coin upon a large scale. The presence of a consider-
able amount of base money of the Oonstantinian period is one of
the features of the Corstopitum coin-series, as it is of the Con-
stantinian hoards found upon the Rhine frontier.4 Probably in
either instance the forged coins are not barbaric imitations which
have found their way across the frontier, but are the work of
provincial forgers who found a happy field for their operations on
a frontier garrisoned by a large army ; for in such a district an
extensive copper currency would be required for trade purposes.
It has yet to be proved that any of the so-called barbarous coins,
found at Corstopitum or elsewhere on the line of the Wall, are
of post- Roman date.
It is more difficult to account for the survival of the heavy
copper coinage of the second century. Possibly this may be found
to be due in part to local causes. The first period of occupation
of Corstopitum may be taken to close with the rising in North
Britain in the reign of Commodus. It was succeeded by a raising
of the level of streets and buildings, possibly under Severus,
which would have for one of its results the burial of stray coins
of earlier date under two feet of soil. There is no reason for
supposing any similar disaster to have overtaken the town
between the reigns of Severus and Gallienus. Consequently, it

NOTES ON THE COINS FOUND.

may be argued, it is natural for the debris of the first occupation
to provide a coin-series ending with Commodus ; while there
would be less likelihood of coins being lost during the earlier
part of the second occupation, and the copper coins then current
would be driven out of circulation by the monetary changes of
Gallienus.
Among the issues of the London mint there are several new
minor varieties which will be collected and illustrated in a sub-
sequent report. One is of sufficient interest to be noted here.
The occurrence of Christian emblems upon the coinage of Con-
stantine the Great is a subject which lias attracted considerable
attention,5 but numismatists have hitherto failed to establish the
existence of such marks on the products of the London mint.
'Au,cun signe chretien,' writes M. Maurice, the leading living
authority upon Constantinian coinage, ' ne parait avoir ete
frappe d'ans 1'atelier de Londres.'6
London, like other western mints, issued, between the years
-317 and 324, coins bearing on the reverse the inscription
VICTORIAE LAETAE PRINC. PEEP. Two victories place a shield upon
an altar. The face of the altar is ornamented, on some examples,
with a lozenge set between four points, on other examples with
a crown. In the past year a coin of Crispus with VICTORIAE
LAETAE PRINC. PER?, reverse was discovered at Corstopitum,
having upon the face of the altar a crown, and, within the crown,
an equilateral cross. It bears the London mint mark p LON.

254 REPORT ON THE I9O9 EXCAVATIONS AT CORSTOPITUM :
obverse the head of Gonstantine n (Cohen 219), is in the British
Museum.7 No other example of this variety is known to exist.
Here, then, we have direct evidence that Christian symbols
were used in the London mint in the reign of Constantine, and
that, too, at a time when they had not yet been introduced at
Rome or into the three Gallic mints of Trier, Lyons and Aries.
The little coin constitutes an interesting, if slight, addition to
our knowledge of Romano-British Christianity.
One other coin found last year deserves to be specially men-
tioned. This is a Greek medal struck at Hadrianeia in Helle-
spontus in the reign of Septimius Severus. It is in bronze,
weighs approximately 423 grains (27'4 grammes) and measures
37 millimetres (1'45 inches) in diameter. On the obverse it has
a laureated and draped bust of Severus facing to the right, with
the inscription AVT KAI A CEO CEOVHPOC HE. The reverse
presents a river-god reclining under a tree. His right arm
rests on an urn ; his left hand is placed on his left knee. Fac-
ing him, and standing to the left, is Hermes, holding a purse
in his right hand and a caduceus in his left, and having a chlamys
depending from his left shoulder. Behind Hermes is a dog (not
a goat as stated in the British Museum catalogue). The in-
scription round the reverse records the name of the local magis-
trate, EO MHNO<J>ANOVC TEIMOKP APXA. In the exergue is the
name of the town in which the medal was struck: AAPIANEQN.
(See fig. 12A on opposite page.)
7 Reproduced in Numismatic Chronicle, 2nd ser., vol. xvn, plate i. No. 5. Two
other examples of the VICTORIAE LAETAE PRINC. PERP. reverse with London mint-
mark should be noted here. Both .specimens are stated to have the equilateral
cross on the face of the altar, apparently without the crown. One, bearing the
head of Constantine i (Cohen 635), is noted by Hardouin,. ' Numismata Seculi
Constantiniani,' Opera Selecta, 1709, p. 478 ;• the other bears the head of
Constantine n (Cohen 224), and is described by Tanini, Numismatum Imperatorum
Romanorum Supplementum, 1791, p. 289. These two .coins cannot now be traced,
and their ascription to the London mint must therefore rest upon the authority of
Hardouin and Tanini.
A GREEK MEDAL FOUND. 255
There are several known examples of this type. One, now
in the British Museum, not so well preserved as the present
specimen, was noted by Sestini as long ago as 1720, 8 and is de-
scribed in the British Museum catalogue of Greek coins under
the head of Hadriani in Mysia.9 Since the publication of that
catalogue Mr. G. F. Hill has shown that numismatists have con-
founded two distinct towns in Asia Minor — Hadriani in Mysia
and Hadrianeia in Hellespontus ; and that the type in question
belongs to Hadrianeia.10
FIG. 12A. — GRECO- ASIATIC MEDAL OF SEPTIMIUS SEVEBUS.
These large Greek imperial bronzes were not a normal cur-
rency, but were struck to commemorate some local festival, and
bear the name of the magistrate who defrayed the expense of its
celebration.11 It follows that such a medal could not have made
its way from Asia Minor to Northumberland in the ordinary
course of circulation, since it is a far cry from Hadrianeia to

256 REPORT ON THE 1909 EXCAVATIONS AT CORSTOPITUM :
Hadrian's Wall. In all probability it was brought to Corstopi-
tum by some soldier or trader who attended the festival which
the medal commemorated — possibly by one of the soldiers who
accompanied Severus to Britain upon his Caledonian campaign.12
There are very few well-authenticated cases of the discovery
of Greek coins in Britain, although several other examples of
Greek imperial medals exist in local museums. A medal of
Pius, from Magnesia in Ionia, was discovered in Carlisle in 1857
by workmen engaged in making a sewer, and is now in the Tullie
House museum.13 In the same collection are two medals, of
Antinous and of Aurelius and Verus respectively, which are said
to have been found in Carlisle or the district, but there is no
corroborative evidence of the place of this discovery. A medal of
Elagabalus, struck at Ephesus, with the figure of Tyche and the
legend E^ECION A NEOKOP&N on the reverse, is believed to
have been picked up on or near the Lawe at South Shields some
years before that Roman station was excavated ;14 it is now in
the South Shields museum. In addition to these bronze medals,
a billon tetradrachm of Gallienus, from Alexandria, now in the
possession of Miss Greenwell of Corbridge, deserves mention as
having been probably found at Corstopitum. The medals of
Pius and Severus have alone been noted at the time of their
discovery and have thus acquired an authenticity superior to
that of the other examples.

METALLURGICAL NOTES.
BY HENRY LOUIS, M.A., D.SC., A.R.S.M.
The most interesting object found was a block of iron (see fig.
15) 3 feet 4 inches long by 7 inches square at one end, which
was rough and rather spongy, tapering down to about 4^- inches
square at the other end, which was well rounded. In order to
get samples for metallographic examination, pieces were cut out
with chisels and hack saws ; underneath a superficial skin of hard
rusty scale, about J inch thick, the metal was found to be quite
clean, sound, soft and tough ; to obtain samples for chemical
analysis, £ inch holes were drilled about 10 inches from the
smaller end and 2 inches from the edge of the block; for the
first 1J inches the metal was clean and sound, but on drilling
deeper, the interior of the bar was found to be honey-combed
and spongy. Only the outer sound portion of the metal was
subjected to a complete analysis, which gave the following
results : —
266 REPORT ON THE 1 909 EXCAVATIONS AT CORSTOPITUM I
Carbon 0-061 per cent
Silicon /V7'
Manganese NiL
Sulphur 0-008 per cent
Phosphorus 0-063 per cent.
Silica in the form of slag 0-32 per cent.
The inner spongy portion of the block contained 0*14 per cent.
of carbon.
The microstructure showed characteristic grains of ferrite,
with the planes of separation of the crystals very well marked.
Some of the grains of ferrite show a well denned series of parallel
lines running across the crystals. The outer edge of the sample
shews a small quantity of pearlite between the grains of ferrite ;
there are also numerous patches of slag, generally elongated in
the direction of the longer axis of the block.
I have little doubt that this block was made by welding
together comparatively small lumps of iron produced by a direct
reduction process in small charcoal fires ; there is no reason why
the ores employed may not have been the local black-band iron-
stones of the Carboniferous Series, some of which outcrop in this
part of the country. The block of iron was probably used for
an anvil, and I am inclined to think that the iron was probably
smelted in the woods, probably near the outcrop of a seam of
ironstone, and was brought into the Corbridge settlement to be
there worked up and forged into various articles; the anvil
block would in that case have been used for such forgings. I
believe that the furnace (see figs. 8 and 10), close to which this
block was found, was a smith's fire used for making forgings,
and was not an iron smelting furnace ; I have come to this
conclusion because there are no indications of any tuyere holes
near the base of the furnace. This view is supported by the
absence of any slag, such as would necessarily be produced
abundantly in smelting operations. There seems no good reason
METALLURGICAL NOTES.
267
why the practical Komans should have brought their ore and
charcoal into the township to smelt them there, instead of
erecting smelting works on a more
convenient spot, as the condition of
the country seems to have been peace-
able enough to allow them to carry
on their smelting in the woods. The
short earthenware pipes found abun-
dantly, and some of them near the
anvil block, are evidently tuyere
nozzles ; they were probably made
here to be taken out to the smelting
works, and were very likely used in
the forge also.
One of the large iron nails found
here was examined : it contained
0'045 per cent, of carbon, and was
practically pure ferrite, showing a
little pearlite on its outer edges.
This seems to point to iron made by
a direct process in a small charcoal
fire in the presence of a rich slag,
when pure ferrite would be produced ;
this, if heated repeatedly in a char-
coal fire for forging into a nail,
would probably absorb some carbon,
producing a little pearlite near its
surface.
It is interesting to note that a
quantity of small coal, evidently
obtained from one of the coal-seams
in the Mountain Limestone series,
was found lying on one of the Eoman FIG- 15. -BLOCK OF IRON, 3' 4"
LONG.
268 REPORT ON THE 1909 EXCAVATIONS AT CORSTOPITTTM I
pavements ; the nearest outcrop of such is about a couple of miles
from Corbridge, and from the position in which the coal was
found, it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that it was brought
in by the Romans for use in the township. There is, however,
nothing at all to shew that it was used for metallurgical purposes,
and the purity of all the iron found would appear to preclude the
possibility of its having been so employed.
A very interesting find was a mass of oxide of iron, the outer
surface of which presented all the appearance of chain mail ; it
was found on analysis to contain a great deal of organic animal
matter, losing 20 per cent, on ignition ; the analysis of the ignited
matter was as follows : —
Iron 61-90 per cent.
Phosphorus 0-86 per cent.
Insoluble matter 8-00 per cent.
A good deal of iron was present in the form of ferrous oxide.
This analysis seems to point conclusively to this really being a
piece of chain mail, and that it was buried enclosing animal
remains — whether human or not it is impossible to say : we
know of no natural product that would correspond to the above
composition, and it is almost certain that this mass was produced
by the oxidation of metallic iron. The organic matter was probably
the source of the phosphorus found in the analysis, as iron contain-
ing so much phosphorus could not have been forged into chain.
Several leaden bullets have been found, evidently hammered
into shape, and probably used for throwing from slings or cata-
pults ; one of these gave on assay 0 oz. 14 dwt. 9 grs. of silver. If
this lead had been smelted from the local lead ores, it would
probably have contained a good deal more silver than this,
hence I have little doubt that this lead had been submitted to a
process of desilverisation before being worked up into a bullet.
All the above analytical and micrographical work was done
in the Metallurgical Laboratory of Armstrong College by my
assistant, Mr. H. Dean, M.Sc., A.R.S.M.

SMALLER FINDS (EXCEPT COINS).
BY T. HAVERFIELD.
A complete catalogue of the smaller finds made at Corbridge
in 1909 would fill a volume of Archaeologia Aeliana and at the
end perhaps serve no sufficient purpose. We content ourselves,
therefore, with a brief summary which will emphasize only the
most important points.
i. — STONE.
No inscribed stones were found in 1909. But one or two
more fragments of the Pius monument came to light. One bit
added A to the last line : with the aid of another, Prof.
Bosanquet and myself were able to fit the right-hand top corner
together, with the result that the mark taken as 0 at the end
of line 1 appears to be the end of line 2 and possibly not a letter
at all.* Of carved work in stone we have a complete relief in a
triangular- topped frame, resembling the front of a shrine,
showing perhaps Aesculapius and Hygieia (fig. 7, p. 231) ; a
torso of Mercury (fig. 12, p. 247) ; a boar, badge of the twentieth
legion, of which we have other signs at Corbridge, and a
crudely-chiselled ' idol,' if it be not rather a jeu d' esprit.
Notice is also due to a stone ball, more like a ballista missile
than a weight, on which the device ^ is deeply scored.
II. POTTERY AND OTHER EARTHENWARE
(1) Samian pottery was exceedingly and indeed inconveniently
abundant. Nearly twice as much was found as in 1908, and
some of it was remarkable as belonging probably or certainly to
an earlier date than previous discoveries. Most of the Samian
seemed to come from one or other of the Gaulish factories.
Some seems German, but this was rarer than in 1908.
* Arch. AeL, 3 ser. iv, 263; Eeport (overprint), 1907, p. 59.
270 REPORT ON THE 1 909 EXCAVATIONS AT CORSTOPITUM I
Of the Decorated Samian, 8 pieces belonged to form xxix.
These occurred in a pit under the small granary and in a deep
cutting sunk in front of the large granaries. In both cases we
plainly tapped the earliest stratum of Corstopitum, and as in
each case form xxix was proportionately well represented, we
may assume that it was still in common use in the first period
of the existence of the place— that is, as we should naturally
think, in the age of Agricola. Form xxx was represented by
about 40 pieces, some of them almost certainly of the first
century. Form xxxvn defied counting. Only a small fraction
—all of it of form xxxvn— bore stamps. The potters repre-
sented were : Advocisus (4 specimens), Albucius (3), Cinnamus
(12 but some doubtful), Doeccus (1), IANVF (1 certain, 1 doubt-
ful), Justus, Paternus (4 or 5), while 5 specimens were mere
fragments. All these potters, so far as we can date them, seem
to belong to the second century.
Plain Samian ranged over many forms. The familiar xxxi
and xxxui were naturally far the commonest, but xxvn was
represented bv some 93 pieces, xxxvni by 100, XLV by 65, while
small globular vases were not rare. Other forms which
occurred comparatively seldom were xvin (once only), xx, xxxn,
xxxv and xxxvi (not always distinguishable), XL, XLIII, LXXII,
LXXIX, LXXX, and those numbered by Ludovici Bb, Be, Sm, Tc,
Tg. We met also a few forms to which we have as yet found no
recorded parallels. Incised Samian also occurred, but only a
small quantity. The stamps .on the plain Samian numbered
nearly 400, including fragments. One may be cited for its
early date, LOGIRNI, found in the early pit on site xiv. Some of
the pieces bore graffiti of which the most intelligible are
Minerv . . ., probably a dedication ; Firm . . . ; Viator ; Attiani.
(2) Of other, coarser, wares there was an abundance not to
be described in these pages. We may note some specimens of a
hard grey ware with rude barbotme decoration found in the pit
Arch. AeL, 3 ser. VI. To face p. 270.

of site xiv and found elsewhere in first century deposits, and a
face-urn much broken of the type of which a Lincoln example
bears the inscription D(e)o Mer curio. Mortaria (pelves) were
naturally common. They grouped themselves principally into
two types corresponding to the two types found in the pottery
store in 1907. These types may be ascribed to the second
century. A few specimens resembled rather a type which is
sometimes dated to the late third or fourth century.
(3) Of earthenware other than pottery, there were several
interesting finds. The 'Harry Lauder ' mould has been noted
at pp. 224 et seq. Here we may record a lamp stamped FORTIS and
therefore datable ; eight more examples of ' cheese-squeezes/ of
which several specimens have occurred here previously ; some
candlesticks of the usual shape ; parts of two ' Gaulish ' statuettes
in white clay, one of Cybele, the other of Mercury, both executed
in good classical style.
III. METAL.
Of iron we have to notice the bar or anvil already described
(p. 265), and a multitude of lesser pieces, less alike in size and
in importance, calthrops such as were found in 1908, more arrow-
heads of various types, and the like. A piece of chain-mail,
found in 1908, but omitted accidentally from our last report,
may also be here included. Of bronze much was found, but
most of it was sadly perished. The fibulae seemed to belong
chiefly if not wholly to the second and early third centuries.
One interesting piece was a small horse-fibula with traces of red
enamel. Interesting, too, is a fragment of pierced work,
perhaps intended to be sewn on a leathern belt or the like, with
the letters OMNTA vos. Similar pieces have been found at
Aldborough and on the German Limes. They are quite different
in style and form from the common bits of pierced work with
VTERE FELIX and the like.
272 REPORT ON THE 1909 EXCAVATIONS AT CORSTOPITUM.
IV. ANGLO-SAXON REMAINS.
A separate notice may be due to two bits of ' Anglo-Saxon '
work, to be put beside the two fibulae and beads discovered in
1908. One is a small urn found near a stone cist (if cist it was).
The other is a long slender mount for a sword-scabbard. It is
cast, no't hammered, and consists of a narrow flat bar raised in
the centre to form a long loop : through this loop was passed the
strap by which the scabbard hung from the belt. Similar
scabbard mounts occur, as Mr. A. T. Leeds, assistant curator in
the Ashmolean museum, has pointed out — with the confirmation
of Prof. Montelius, who has seen the object — among the earlier
Danish peat-moss finds. They are, for example, represented by
over 100 examples in the deposits at Thorsbjerg in Slesvig and
Yimose in Fyen, but are absent from the later finds of Nydam.
They seem to belong, as Prof. Montelius has argued, to the
beginning of the fourth century, while the Nydam finds are
later than A.D. 400. They were doubtless made in Danish
lands, and are uncommon, if not indeed almost unknown, in our
islands. Whether our specimen be due to a mercenary or a
pirate, or to a visitor who was indifferently the one or the other,
is a problem which belongs rather to the domain of Puck of
Pook's Hill.

VII.— OBITUARY NOTICE OF THE LATE EEV. JOHN
WALKER, RECTOR OF WHALTON AND HONORARY
CANON OF NEWCASTLE.
By J. C. HODGSON, M.A., F.S.A., vice-president.
[Read on the 27th July, 1910.]
On the 22nd of June death deprived this society of one of its
most esteemed members — the Rev. John Walker, rector of
Whalton.
Mr. Walker became a member of the society on the 25th of
March, 1891, and although his professional and social duties
did not permit him to attend the monthly meetings with regu-
larity, his personality and genial presence made him welcome to
his fellow members whenever he was able to do so. For a time
he was a member of the council.
Born in the parish of Gigg, near Bury, Lancashire, on the
10th of February, 1837, Mr. Walker was educated at St. Bees
College, was ordained deacon in 1865 on a title given him by the
Rev. John Reed, vicar of Newburn, Northumberland, and was
admitted to priest's orders in the following year. After serving
in the diocese of Durham for five years he became curate of the
parish church of Stockport in 1870, but subsequently returned to
Northumberland and became curate of Ponteland in 1876 and of
Whalton in 1878. Two years later he was presented to the
rectory of Whalton, the advowson of which has been in his wife's
family since the reign of queen Elizabeth. Here the remainder
of a full and useful life was spent, and here he died.
There was apparently no limit to Mr. Walker's activity.
In 1878 he became a free-mason, in which society he attained
high masonic rank. In the same year he became a member of
the Berwickshire Naturalists Club, of which he was president in
1897. In 1882 he became poor-law guardian in the Castle Ward
Union. In 1887 he was appointed honorary secretary of the
Church Extension Committee of the diocese of Newcastle — his
3 SER. VOL. VI. 18
274 OBITUARY NOTICE OF REV. JOHN WALKER.
services in that capacity and to the diocese in other ways being
recognized by his bishop, who, in 1897, made him an honorary
canon of Newcastle and in 1902 rural-dean of the deanery of
Morpeth— and in 1900 he succeeded the late Mr. C. B. P. Bosan-
quet as honorary secretary of the Poor Law conference for the
four northern counties.
As was right and proper, Mr. Walker took an intelligent and
sympathetic interest in his own parish church, and he was ever
ready, not only to describe its features, but to extend to this
society a warm welcome to his house and a genial hospitality.
Only last year he procured the printing by the Durham and
Northumberland Parish Register Society, of the registers of
baptisms, marriages and burials of Whalton from the year 1661
to 1812. But great as was his interest in archaeology, his love
of horticulture was yet deeper, and never perhaps was he happier
than when pacing his old and beautiful garden and explaining
his methods of treatment of rare plants ; Et disputavit super
I ignis a cedro .... usque ad hyssopum quae egreditur de pariete.
It is to be regretted that Mr. Walker did not more frequently
contribute to the transactions of this society, but the following
archaeological papers written by him have been printed : —
