NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE. 


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

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.

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

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.

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 
to  be  of  late  eighteenth  or  early  nineteenth  century  date.  (Ibid. 
page  101.) 

Oct.  28.  By  Mr.  R.  WELFORD,  V.P.— One  of  the  Newcastle  and  Carlisle  Rail- 
way tickets,  printed  on  yellow  paper  of  ordinary  thickness,  for  issue 
after  the  extension  of  the  railway  from  Carlisle  to  Warden  in  1836. 
(Ibid,  page  118.) 

By  Mr.  R.  OLIVER  HESLOP,  V.P.— A  similar  ticket,  but  with  the 
booking  reference  showing  that  it  had  been  used,  which  Mr.  Wei- 
ford's  lacks.  (Ibid.) 

By  Mr.  JOHN  S.  ROBSON.— A  fine  inlaid  chest,  3  feet  long  by  1  foot 
8  inches  high  and  wide,  which  Mr.  Robson  said  was  'bought  in  a 
very  bad  condition  at  a  sale  at  Easington  manor,  co.  Durham, 
recently  ;  after  repair  its  beauty  was  revealed.  It  was  presumably  of 
Italian  workmanship,  and  probably  dated  from  the  end  of  the  six- 
teenth or  beginning  of  the  seventeenth  century.'  (Ibid,  pages 
118-119.) 

By  THE  JOINERS'  COMPANY  OF  NEWCASTLE  (per  Mr.  John  S.  Robson). — 
The  two  coats  of  arms,  one  of  Mrs.  Barbara  Farbridge,  the  other  of 
Mrs.  Margaret  Stephenson,  benefactors  to  the  company,  which 
formerly  hung  in  the  hall  of  the  guild,  and  which  the  company  had 
'  decided  to  hand  over  to  the  Society,  to  be  held  by  them  in  safe 
keeping  either  in  the  Castle  or  Blackgate.'  Reproductions  of  the 
escutcheons  are  given  in  Mr.  Robson's  history  of  the  company,  in 
Arch.  AeL,  3rd  series,  v,  pages  181  and  183.  (Ibid,  page  119.) 


xx  LIBRARIAN'S  REPORT  FOR  1909. 

By  Mr.  E.  PL  WHITE.— Two  photographs  of  a  fragment  of  Norman 
string  course  with  star  ornament,  lately  discovered  in  St.  John's 
church,  Newcastle,  while  making  alterations  for  the  organ.  (Ibid.) 
Nov.  24.  By  Mr.  W.  W.  TOMUNSON.— An  early  railway  ticket,  exactly  similar 
in  design  to  that  reproduced  on  page  118,  Proceedings,  3rd  series,  vol. 
iv,  but  printed  on  green  paper,  and  '  From  Greenhead  to  Hexham  |

foil. (Ibid,  page  127. ) 

By  Mr.  E.  LEONARD  GILL. — A  small  copper  coin,  much  worn,  appar- 
ently a  bodle  of  Charles  II,  '  picked  up  on  Holy  Island  a  short  time 
ago.'  (Ibid.) 

The   librarian   reported  that   the   following  gifts  had   been

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

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

10  THE  MEDIEVAL  OWNERS  OF  ESLINGTON. 

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,

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

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,

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  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-

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 
he  not  only  lost  horses  and  armour,  valued  at  200  marks,  but  was 
taken  prisoner,  held  in  captivity  for  two  years,  and  only  re-

47  That  is  if  the  date  14  March,  1318/9,  be  correct,  but  a  William  de  Heselrig 
was  a  knight  of  the  shire  for  Northumberland  in  the  parliaments  of  1320  and  1321 .

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.

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

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,

in  the  inquisition  taken  at  Alnwick,  30  April,  1468,  it  was  found 
that:- 

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,

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

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,

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. 

The  manors  of  Fawdon  and  East  Burneton  and  the  lands  in  Kenton  are

The  manor  of  West  Burneton  is  held  of  the  manor  of  Bywell,  by  yearly

The  moiety  of  the  manor  of  Throunton,  is  held  of  the  king  in  chief,  by

George  Collingwood  of  Dawdon,  co.  Durham,  esq.,  and  George  Collingwood

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, 
printed  (it  is  believed  for  the  first  time)  in  Appendix  n. 

In  May,  1656,  the  Collingwoods  and  their  trustees  obtained 
judgment  in  their  favour  in  the  Court  of  Common  Pleas.90 

Sir  Arthur  Heselrigg  died  a  prisoner  in  the  Tower  on  the 
7th  January,  1660/1,  having,  in  the  words  of  his  epitaph,  '  in- 
joyed  this  portion  of  his  life  in  the  times  of  greatest  civill  troubles 
that  ever  this  nation  had.  He  was  a  lover  of  liberty  and 
faithfull  to  his  country.'91  His  body  was  carried  to  Noseley,  and 
was  buried  there  under  a  splendid  tomb,  his  effigy  being  placed 
between  those  of  his  two  wives.  His  son  and  successor,  Sir 
Thomas  Heselrigg,  by  deed  dategl  15th  July,  1663,  released  his 
claim  on  Eslington.92

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.

[Here  follows  an  attempt  to  blazon  the  arms  which  the  Hesel- 
riggs  of  the  period  were  entitled  to  quarter,  and  the  following  note 
added  at  a  later  date :  '  In  S*.  Clement  Danes  Church,  London, 
is  a  monument  of  Heselrigg  with  these  arms,  crest  [drawing  of 
arms]  and  inscription :  Bartinus  Heselrigg  armiger  capetaneus 
militiae  Leicestrensis  hie  sepultus  qui  obiit  4  Maii  1634.'] 

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-

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-

States  t        therein.      Welford,  Royalist  Compositions,  p.    170  (111   Surtees  Soc.

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

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

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 

*  There  is  a  very  good  pedigree  in  Miscellanea  Genealogica  et  Heraldica, 
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.

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

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.

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). 

57  B.  gives  the  bend  uncharged  for  '  Roger  le  Fitz  John  de  Eure.'

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. 

58b  A  roughly   executed  seal,   evidently  meant  to  be  armorial,   but  the 
charges  are  curious  and  uncertain. 

59  For  the  quarterings  and  differences  used  by  the  various  branches  of  this 
family  see  V.  1615,  1666.     A  seal  of  Thomas  Fenwick  attached  to  a  deed  of 
1356  bears  three  roundels,  each  charged   with  three   birds  within  a   border 
(S.D.T.  1-4  Spec.  no.  17). 

60  A  seal   of  Simon   de  Fisburne   (A.D.   1259)   bears   the  curious   canting

130  A  very  interesting  seal,  showing  the   early  pear-shaped   shield;    the 
pales  and  border  are  quite  narrow,  the  roundels  like  nail  heads,  and  the  whole 
has  a  very  constructional  appearance.     (See  seal,  pi.  ix,  no.  3.) 

131  A  seal  of  Eichard  Umfraville  bears  the  device  of  a  large  cinquefoil 
and  is  not  armorial  (S.D.T.  1-3  Spec.  25;  seals,  pi.  vin,  no.  7).     The  form  and 
number  of  the  crosses  appear  to  have  varied  greatly.     The  seal  of  Sir  Eobert 
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 
a  triple  towered  castle  with  an  archway  in  the  centre

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 :

was  captain  of  Berwick  and  warden  in  1346.

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

command  in  Scotland  and  on  the  marches.     His  seal  is  illustrated  on

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.

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

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

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.'

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

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).

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.

UMFRAVILLE 


DERIVATIVE  SHIELDS. 


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.

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/

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 
1  possess  no  architectural   features:   nor  did   careful   search 
over  the  area  of  the  chancel  furnish  foundations  of  a  previous 
*ure,   or  eastern  termination  of  different  width   or  form

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 


FIG.    2. — THE   SOUTH    DOORWAY    AND   SOUTH-WEST   ANGLE   OF   NAVE. 

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. 

In  the  graveyard  are  quite  a 
number  of  eighteenth  century 
memorials;20  several  of,  them  re-

strained to  leave  Lorraine,  and 
engaged  in  glass  making  from 
1620  on  the  banks  of  the  Tyne. 
Among  the  additional  gravestones  recently  brought  to  light, 
are  three  in  the  chancel,  shewn  on  the  plan  (fig.  1).  That 
marked  1.  is  to  George  Hewbanke,21  who  lived  at  Carville

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.

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.

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

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

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

pose   hat  m  th  hern  part  Qf  .^  courge  ^^  Btm/  P

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

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

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

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. '

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

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.

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

252         REPORT  ON  THE   1909  EXCAVATIONS  AT  CORSTOPITUM  : 

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

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. 
A  coin  with  an  exactly  similar  reverse,  but  having  upon  the

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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  : —
