THE PREFACE.

PART I.

,RE Tre proceed to the documents in
this volume, aonie prcfatorial re-
marka upou them may be of use
aiid interest. The Lihei" Niger, or,
as it is commonly called, the Black
Book of Hexham, derives its name
merely from the colour of the covtr
which it wears, like the Blue Books
of the present day which are familiar
to every one. Similar appellations
were common enough in old times.
We have the Black and Red Books
of the English Exchequer, the White
Register of York, the Red Book of
Durham, and the Black and Red Books of Hexham. The
Black Book of Ilexham is a carefully drawn up rental of the
possessions of the Priory. The Red Book is mentioned iu the
twelfth centuryj -when wc hear of some jurors taking an oath
Upon it." It acems to have becQ a copy of the Gospela, a relic,
perhaps, of some of the early prelates of the place ; aud it
probably perished during some inroad of the Scots in the thir-
tee]ith century, as it is never spoken of afterwards.* The Red
Book of Durham, whieh the student in history longs so ardently
to diseover, contained the aiiuala of the see in SaxOn timea."

THE PREFACE. FAHT I.

It is probable enougb that some similar cliroiiide was incor-
poi'atecl iu the Lilier Ruber of Heshani.

The Black Book of Hexljam is a rental of all the Ifuida and
posseaaions of tlie Prior and Convent of that place, wherever
they might be. According to the titlcj it dates from the feast
of Pentecost, ll/g^ but from internal evidence Lt is plain that
tbe materials for the survey were being gathered together at an
earlier period. Iu two places it is stated that a certain rent
would become due for the first time at Pentecoat, 1477,'' so that
tins portion of the document ia at all events prior to that year.
The canons of He.'cham had landa in places very widely apart,
and some time would elapse before all the portions of tbe rent-
roll could be prepared on anytliing like a regular and sys-
tematic plan. The work, probably, was going on for several
ycsars, and was not completed until 1479. The document itsell'
ia not by any means one of an unusual character, as every
religious house had a similar rental. The Black Book merely
took the place of an earlier document. We find in it a mention
of the Old Holl."

These eurveys were usually compiled from the rolla of the
bailiffs of each, particular manor or estate, who were probably
desired to be more than ordinarily csact and minute in a stated
year ; the rolls would be examined as they were sent in, and
the information they contained would be arranged by the ter-
rarer. It will lie observed that there axe now and then in the
duciiment inequalities of description. Of some places there ia
a fuller account than of others. This ia easily explained by my
Bupposition that tbe survey is merely a codification of the
various baUiils' rolls, which were drawn up with more or less
care, The terrarer made the best he conld of them.

The estates of the Priory of Hexham may be divided into
two parts; the lands attached to tbe prebend of Saltou, and
those bestowed upon the cauons in other places, and by various
benefactors,

The preliend of Salton in tLe catTiedral churcli of York was
annexed to i'he Priorate of Heshom Tjy archbishop Thurstan in
tliG twelfth centurVj and it was not ojily thp most honourable
posaeasion of the Priory, but it was also one of the moat lucra-
tive of the estatea belonging to it. The Prior of Hexham could
generally rely upon the regular payment of his YorltshiTe rents,
as there were no Scots or thieves in that connty to make his
lands unprotitable. The corpus of the prebend consisted of the
manor of Salton, and of property in Edston, Great and Little
Barugh in the pariah of Kirkby-Misperton, Flaston in the
parish of Boaaallj Millington, and, perhaps, at Giveiidale, All
these places, eave the two last mentioued, are in the North
Riding of Yorkahire.

Salton lieg among the hillg, ahont five miles from Kirkby
Moorside, and almost midway bctweeu Ilelmsley and Malton.
The Prior of Hexham had two residences there, one in the
village, and another at the north end of the manor where there
was a. gaest-haJl with a camera, and divers other buildings
attached to it. In the village itself there was a hall, with three
chambers and a chapel, of which many remnants are in ex-
istence. We have some intereBting materials for the history of
the place. The hall seems to have been reserved for the uae of
the Prior and his officers, but the guest-hall was let in 1479,
with the exception of a portion of the great bam, which was
needed for the tithes belonging to the Prior, The Prior selected
a steward or bailiff for the manor, who sent in an annual ac-
count roll,/ and he choac bcaidca alc-gricves, water-gricvca, four
jnTors, and a stock-keeper. The tenants, in addition to their
rents, were to contribute towards the purchase of a palfrey for
every new Prior, to give to aids, to caj'ry victuals for their lord
and his anite when travelling in Yorkshire, to supply beds for
his guests at Salton, to attend to the mill, and to carry stone,
flint, and all kinds of timber for the repaira of the manor-

hoTiae.^ The otlier constituent parta of the prchcnd were to
make themselves similarly useful according to the extent of
theii' laud. Aa prebendary of Salton tlie Prior of Hexbam Lad
u Jiouse in York appropriated to hie stall. Tliia was let in
1457 to the parsons of the Minster; and the college of St.
WiQiam, I believe, occupies its site/ The Prior would he veiy
rarely in the archiepiscopal city, and would gladly be free from
the incumbfance of an official residence, which he was bound to
Iceep in repair, although he could not use it. I must leave the
history of Salton to the Yorkshire topographer, and turn north-
wards.

Before I enter apon the general question of the estates of
the Priory of Hexham, it will be well to clear the way a little
by enumerating what may be called its eccleaiastical property,
and to state the number of linngs that it possessed. There
are many documents relating to these livings in this volume,
and the following list wiU he of some service to the reader. I
have gpoken elsewhere of the wretehed system that prevailed of
malting no formal endowments for viearagea, which was esceed-
ii^ly short -eigli ted and reprehensible.

Hexham. The Priory itself was the church of the parish,
and a portion of it would be specially devoted to the use of the
iuhabitanta. Every monastery^ I believe, was in itself a parish.
Subordinated to the parisli church of Hexham were the chapels
of SS, Mary and Peter in the town," and those of St. John Lee,
St. Oswald's, Eingficld, and Alwcnton. In 1286 archbishop
Romanus ordered the parishioucrs of Hexham to keep the
chapels in repair, save the chancels, which the Prior and eanons
were to attend to. They were also to tod a missal and a chalice
lor each,-' In 129 J; the same prelate cited the Prior and Con-
vent that they might shew cause why vicars were not properly
instituted at Hexham and Alwenton.* In the heguming of the

Wakden. This chnrch belonged to the Priory by the gift
of Adam de Tindale.' A pension of twenty marks, per annum
out of it was reserved to the bishops of Durham, and this was
granted by King John in the sixteenth year of hia TGigu to
Robert Morell.' In lji43 there was a re-ordination of the
ricarage, and the stipend of the vicar was fixed at thirty-six
marks per annum/ As Warden was so near to Hexham, it was
fpcuuently held by a canon. According to the Augustinian
rule, no canon could live out of hia Tnonastery, unless he bad a
brother with hira. In 1337 this rule was disregarded, and its
observance was ordered by archbishop Melton.' Dependent on
the church of Warden in 1297 were the chapels of Staueroft,
Haydcn, and Langley."

lepers. Tbe founder was one of the early ai'c'hbistopa of York,
probatly Thomas II. or Tliurstan. There is a deed preserved,
by wliiflhj on Yeh. 16th, 1200-lj King John allowed the lepers to
be exemp-t in all that they buy or sell from the payment of the
tolls of pontage and jmssage on the royal lauds in Yorkshire
and Northumljerland.'' In 1320 an enquiry waa made into the
condition of the hospital, which tells us much about its history.
The name of its founder was lost, for the muniments of the
plate had been Carricti away by a brother, who fled from the
Scots. They caught and tilled him, and his freight perished.
The eatatea of the hospital were literally nothing. All its
arable land could easily be cultivated by a single plough. An
annual rent-cliarge of lis. 2d. on property in Hexham, Fallow-
field, and Portgate produced nothing, as the placea were waste.
Before the war the brethren received daily from the Priory four
loaves of black bread and four lagente of secondary beer or ale,
aud a layena when any oiil' brewed on the Prior's land in
Hcsham : now, they got notliing save six black loaves and two
lagen/e of secondary beer a week. We leam^ also, that the
hospital was founded for pooi' sick husbandmen, bom within the
libctty, who were lepers. Etu^h. archbishop and each prior could
appoint two of hia own tensuts, aud no more. Thus there
could not be more than four brethren of their nomination in
the hospital at one time, but :i,ny one might be admitted by the
leave of the master on paying a sufficient sum for his main-
tenance. In 1330 the property of the hospital was barely suffi-
cient for three brothers, and, to live in it, they were obliged to
work bard. Formerly there were seven or eight inmates ; now,
in their present poverty, none could be admitted without paying.
They have but four affri and four oxen for their plough, two of
each being lentj and their cam is scarcely aufficieiit for the
jeai-'e sowing,'

The hospital, however, seems to have reverted to the Priory,

We now come to the landed estates of the Prior and Convent
of Hexham, which were situated in four of the Northern coun-
tica, Yorkshire, Durham, Northumberland, and Cumberland.
With regard to three of these counties it will be unnecessary to
say much, Paaaing hy the manor of Salton and its appendages,
the Yorkahire property of the Priory of Hexham was only in
four places, Great and Little Brougliton, the extinct parish of
Kirkby in Cleveland and Ingloby, This, which was of no great
annual value, was given to the canons by various persons in the
twelfth and thirteenth centuries. They had at one time a house
in Goodramgate in York of the gift of Suunulphus the priest ;'
unless we are to suppose, perhaps, that this was the official resi-
dence of the prchendary of Salton. In the cotiiity of Durham
tliere was propei'ty belonging to Hexham at GrecD Heley neat
Mugglcswick, Fenhall and Maidenetanhall in the parish of
Lancte&ter, Kimblesworth near Durham, Stainton le Street,
a house or two in Hartlepool, and some valuable lands in Silks-
worth and its ^inity, whieh were given hy the f^tz Marma-
dukes.' In Cumberland some lands in the parishea of Isell

and Renwick belongetl to them, which had probahly been given
by WaUleve and Alan his son. They "h&A also, at one time, a
herring- fishery somewhere on the coast of AUerdale, which can-
not be traced. In Cai'Iiale they had one or two plots of grouud
with a house or two upon them of the gift of David king of
Scotland and Henry his son/

But it was in Northumberland that the Priory of Hexham
had the bulk of its property, and it was very large indeed. It
was chiefly in Tindale ward, and it is not too much to say that
iVom the borders of Ciimherland to Newcaetlc-on-Tyne there
was no psirish in which the Prior and canons had not a large
interest. They could not have had less tlian twenty thousand
acres of land in Northumberland. To know how all these came
to the Priory we must look at the great Inspeximus of 1297, hi
which, immediately after a. Scottish iuvasioa in which the mu^ii-
ments of the canons had been consumed, their posaeesiona were
formaUy settled and assured to them by the yerdiet of a jury.
We thus have not only a list of their Northumbrian estates, but
the names of the persons who gave them. The greater part of
these benefactions seems to have been made in tbe twelfth cen-
tury or soon after it. Passing by the archbishops of York and
their numerous gifts, we find among tlie donora many of the
great potentates and barons of Northumberland. First and
foremost is David king of Scotland, with his son and grandson
prince Henry and William the Lion. Superior to his royal
masters in mmiificerice was Adam dc Tindale, who bestowed
upon the Prior and canons the manor and church of Warden
with its numerous ehapelriea, and his lands at Byres. The illus-
trious family of Umfreville had many claims upon the gratitude
of the house of Hexham, and the canons at Ovingham, when
they prayed for the soul of Gilbert UmfreviUe, the last earl of
Angus of that line, would call to mind a noble ancestor of their
benefactor who bore both his names, together with Odonel and

Black Book contauis nearly tlie whole of their posaessioos. It
is, thercforcj especially to the Northumbrian antiquary, a docu-
ment of exceedixig value. Tlie i-emarks that I shall now make
upon it are merely sng'gcstive of farther enquiry^ and must neces-
sarily be brief.

In the first place it is evident that the rent-roil of tlie Priory
was decreasing. Places arc mentioned aa lying waste whicli
were at one time in ciJtivation and productive, and the receipts,
generallyj were lower than tliey had heeu.^ This no douht was
caused in the first instance by the misery which followed the
incursions of the Scots, and these inroads were succeeded by a
complete disorgauization of society in Tindale, Thieves and
marauders were plentiful on both aides of the Borders, but
Hexbamahire aeeras to have been their stronghold. The farmers
and tenants mnst have been poor men. They only held a. few
aejes of land, and of these acres the produce was precarious.

to get a smaller rent than none at all. The inmates of religious
houses in general were easy landlords, and that on the bigheat

sidered that their tenants had an interest in their lands as well
as themselves. In this manner the proverbial hospitality of

THK PREFACE. PART I.

HexhaiQ was cxem|illfied on every estate that it posaeaacdi A
leuieut laadlord, however, was not the person to have such
tenants as were to he foiuid in Tindale. Tlie rents fell, and,
although small, were often unpaid. Land was neg-lcctedj and
tL-eu passed out of cidtivatioii. Houses became ruins ; the very
sites of villages were ploughed up ; and the population would
gradually deerease. It is said that, a century ago, there was
Trnt little tillage laud in Tindale. The Biaek Book will etew
that oven in the dark days of the canons of Hexliam a very
diftcreiit atatc of things prevailed. If this evidence were want-
ing, the lay-riggs, aa tliey are called, which the rich sward of
untold years has heen miahle to ohliterate, still shew decisively
that in days long gone by the ploughman and the sower liave
been there.

To form some idea of the manner in which the Prior and
Convent of Hexham wished to arrange and manage their eatates,
it will be well to take aa an example one or two places which
were contiguous to their abode, and consequently under their
own eye. It is raasonable to suppose that these would be re-
garded as model farms or eatatea,' Take, for iustaneG,the system
that iircvailcd at Anwiek, Kirk-heaton, "Dalton, and Nesbit. In
all the.se places the land is divided out between three kinds of
tenante, whom we may call faraaera, liuabandmen, and cottagers.
It is most ol)5ervahle, that every person secras to have bad some
portion of land, and there was no better way in Tiudale to make
the land productive audits cidtivators honest and iiid iistrious.

1. The farmers at Anwiek were the canons themselves : at
the other places tliey were persons who held the lands either by
homage, or hy lease. They were the chief persons in the
villages, a.nd had the lai'gest share of land.

9. Hashands or husbandmen. A Imsbanft-laiifl was a stated
quantity vaj^iflg. according to the landlord's will, aud scarcely
"tlie same in aay two places. In Anwick there were twelve
Eiusbaud-limda, eacli of sLsteeu acres of arable and meadow
land. In Dalton tliore were nineteen Imsband-landa, eleven of
tweuty-three acres and eight of sixteen. In Xesbit there were
uinetecn husband-lands, each of twenty-five screa. In Sa-ndhoe
and Bingfield a husband-laud consisted of twenty-four acres.
In Kii'k-hcatoii it was as much aa thirty-four. As the number
of acres waa larger^ the rent per aare was lower, thus shewing
that the best land was let in the smallest quantities. In Pres-
dale, near AlatoUj a hush and- land contained twenty-four acres,
Or two osgaugs,

3. Cottagers. In Anwick there were nineteen cottagers to
twelve husbandmen, each cottager having his cottage and a
portion of land. One haa aa much a.s nine acrea, but most of
tlie others have less than five. In Dalton there were but seven
cottagers, all of whom save one had a cottage and three aerea
of land. In Ncsbit there were four cottagers, each with a cot-
tage and three acres of land. In Sandlioe there were twelve
cottagers, each having a house and an acre of land or less. In
Bingfield there were twelve cottagers, most of whom had six
acres of land. In Kirk-heaton there were eight cottagers, each
having' between three and seven acreK of land. One has aa
much as thirteeu acres, hut it was waste, Origiually each
cottager in this place had seven acrea of ground. Oeca.iionally
a garden appertains to a cottage.

The annual rent of these lands, and of all the other meadow
and arable ground in Northumberland belonging to the Priory,
ran from sispeiice to a shilling an acre, and the rent of a cottage
seems to have been eighteenpence or two sliillinga. In addition
to this there were various aerrices and duties for which the
tenants were responsible, and which varied slightly in different
places — a few days' works at tlie mill or at liedging, and the
gift of a coek or a hen to the landlord — but in no eaees were

tliey biu'deneomc ; and the addition to the rent wliicTi tliey
caused would in no case exceed twopence p&r aci"e. We have
thus a pretty good idea of the sums which accrued to the canons
of Hexham from their best land, and of the way in which that
land was portioned out.

Another claas of persons peepa out now and then, for it still
existed^ and that is the serfa. In Eaehwick they lield certain
portions of land called bondagia (there were seven of them),
each liondar/ium consisting of twenty-four acres of arable land
and meadow.' The serfs also appear here aiul there throughout
the whole rental under the title of nativi dwnini. It is. evident
that, whatever tlieir social position was, they could hold land,
and they are generally to be found among the cottagers. And
yet in the eye of the law they were really slaves, and belonged
to their lords as much as the negro did to the planter. At an
earlier period I have discovered several documents in which an
arcLhishop of York sella a naticus and hia wife and children,
hag and haggage. Such trausactioua were common enough.

As a general rule, the Prior and canons let all their lands in
a pai'tiRular plaee to one person or set of persons. The lessees
had their own sub-tenants and cottagers, but that was a matter
in which the caiiona of Hexham had no interest, and such mat-
ters are not mentioned in their Rental.. They content them-
selves with making a most minute description of the vanous
lands that belonged to them in every plaee, We see also that,
like other monastic bodies, the Prior and canons appropriated
estates to the use of various offices within their house. Several
belonged to the buraar and the eacrist, The cellarer of the
kitchen Lad, very properly, a lar^e share, and the spiccry of
the convent was not forgottea.

It 18 very difficult to understand how, with all their care,
the canons, or any other landowners in the North, were able to
understand what lands were really their own. Even that part
of the country which was under cultivation was very often

Tinenclofled. Thig accounts for the very careful way in wliich
the bouiKlaiies of so many of the estates of Hexham aa"c stated
in the Black Book. If the owners of land had now and theo
as a limit one of the few hedges that existed (there were no
stone walls), or, tetter than that, the course of a brook or
burnj they were most fortunate ; very often tliere was a syke or
ditch that separated them from a neighbour, hut frequently
there seems merely to have been some imaginary line pointing
to a saugb or willow, or some standing stone, as it was called,
the relie of a still wilder age. Mercs or boundary stones were
common enough upon the moors. Mote puzzling than any-
thing else seems to have been the possesaion of balf-acreSj or
roods, or perches in the middle of a field. It seems probable
that several landowners combined occasionally to assart or rid a
piece of moor or woodland, and that they divided it among
themselves iJi small portions, one adjoining to or overlajjping
the other, like the allotments in the common gai'den of a
Tillage, although far more difficult to distingTiiBh.J To ascer-
tain the rights of the several landlords, it was Customary te
take the verdict of n jui^.' The canons seem to have had no
idea of uniting their property, as they might have done, by
exchange or othenvise. Probably they had no desire to part
with even a fragment of land which had been made solemnly
Over to them; and they held it on, as its donor mahed, often
with little or no profit and at much inconvenience. It is sin-
gular that when their lands were in this condition, and their
ancient muniments lost, we find so few attempts made to wrest
any of their poase&sions from the canons : but many others were
in the same plight.

The Prior and Convent had many wild moors within their
territories, and on them it was even more difficult to say what

have their rake together, or, if they transgi'esscd, that no mis-
chief should ensue. Tiierc is little said of the native wooila with
which the country must have abounded, filled with oaks and
ashea, and with a goodly undergrowth of hazel and holly, yew
and ivy. We find little allusion to the game, which must have
been plentiful everywhere. The canons had two fisheries for
salmon at Newbum, but the vicar of that place had his nets,
and paid well for his sport.' Above that place no fisheries on
tlie Tyne arc recorded, although that river was open to the canons
wherever their own nud the ai-chbishop*s lands adjoined it/ so
tliat it is probable that the loclt at ByweU was in esistence,
■which checlted the ran of the Baloion. The canons, bowerer,
had enclosed parks of tlieii' own, and by an early grant of
Edward L they had the right of free iifarren on several of their
estates.™ The visitations of their house shew that they were
oidy too ready to join in the chase." Tliey would look with
some envy upon Master Peter de Inaula, who, with his brother,
Sir John, had a wider range thiin themselves, and could follow
the chase over the wliole of the
archbiahop'a lands in Hexhamshire.p
SeverEd objects are mentioned in

a peculiar interest still attaches itself.

becu removed from its o!d position. The staiidiiLg-attines are
memorials of early British or Celtic tiibes, and some of them
still exist to remiud us paiiifiillj how eutu-cily ignorant we are
Oif the history of the earliest inhabitants of our island.? The
Roman wall is mentioued once or twice, and the Prior of
Hexham, from his tower at CarraWj could look out upon an
extensive reach of that magnificent harrier, out of which, no
douht, his fortaJice wae constructed. The occasional occur-
renco of the word Chester appeinded to a, place maliea us tliink
that we have the site of some mile-eastle or camp iu con-
nection either with the wall or the WatKng-strect/ That sin-
gular word Deer-street is several times nsed for the Watling-
street.' It occurs also in Syrneon's History of St. Cuthbert,' and
in a deed connected with the ahbey of Melrose. Does it mean
the road to or fcora Deira ? or the Forest Road ? Tliafc aucEeufc
and mysterious boundary the Black-dyke is also mentioued,
and we have the Maiden-gate, and the Cnrli&le-gate," whieh is
the {^cat Homan road between Carlisle and Newcastle.

The Black Book contains but few notices of unusual eervieea
and tenures. Some of the tenants in Durham and Yorkshire
were bound to provide lodging, bay, straw, fuel, and candles
for the Prior when he paid them a visit. No races of ginger,
nor grains of pepper, nor a rose in the proper season of the
yeafj are mentioned : an occasional cock or hen for the Prior's
larder is, perhaps, the only addition to the almost imiveraal
money -payment. The Prioress of Lamhley, in return for some
privileges at Byrea, supplied a decent towel or board-eloth an-
nually for the Prior's table." One curiona custom must not be
forgotten. The wife of the lord of Dissingtou was bound to

corporax cloths, to free the Prior's teuants at Eachirick from
any charge for moultcr. For the same reason the husbaud of
the lady was to rise whenever the Prior of Hexham met hJra
and to offer liim his seat, unless his ecclesiastical superior cod-
deBcendGd to bid him retain hia place." May not thia cuatora
have been some kind of a perpctioatioii of an acknowledg-ment
of the offence of Edgar, sOti of Earl Coepatric, and Robert and
Uctred Fitz Meldred, who asBaulted the suite of the Prior at
Dissiugtou in the twelfth eentiuy, and slew three of his servants?*

The names assigned to the different liehls and portions of
oatatcB in Tyndale will attract the attention of the philologist.
The ingenuity of succeaaiTc lajidowncra must have been often
tased to create ao many appeUationSf and it would be interest-
ing to know whether, as a general rule, they arc still used.
Occasionally moat suggestive names are found. At Colden
there was a curiously-shaped rock called Colden Kirk, and in
the same place there was a Trow-hill and a Trow-hnrn, a trow
being a fairy." In Presdale, near AktoUj th^re was a Hendsi'- +
fell/ which carries \^ at once to a less gentle influence that that
of the good people. Dedmanayke* makes the lover of good
Border ballads, even though they are occasionally spurious,
tliink of the Deadman's ahaw, at which one of the Fetlieistau-
haughs ia said to have been killed. Ravenstan-more* tells ua
of a resting-place of a bird which was at one time a regnlar
inhabitant of many parts of the county. But ravens and red
deer, and many of the birds and beasts, which were once so
common in Tindale, are no longer to be found there.

The Black Book must now be left to the reader. To throw

more light on the subject of which it treats, I have appended

to it all the deeds connected with the Priory of Hexham and its

estates that have occurred to me. It will be seen that they

have been derived from many sources, and that they are by no

means numerous. No trouble, howeverj has lieen spared in.
gatliering tLem together. The greatest number is to be found
m tlte registera of the arcthisbopa and the dean and chapter of
York. When Dodsivorth, the antiquary, visited Hexham in
1638, he made notes of some deeds which he diseovered in the
pOBsesaion of Sir John Fenwickj the then lord of the manor.
A most eareful aearch after theae documents has been altogether
fruitleas. They are not in Mr. Beaumont's munJment-box, nor
are they in the possession either of Sir Walter Calverley Tre-
velyan or Sir Edward Blackett, tlie representatives of the two
lines of the family of Blackctt. 1 have also been unable to find
them at Castle Howard among' the papers belonging to the
faraoua Sir John Fenwick, which came into the posseaaion of
hia lirother-in-law, the carl of Carlisle. It is probable that
these charters have been dcsti"oyed long ago. There is no ehar-
tulary of Hexhara in esiatence. I muat^ however, make an
exception in favour of a fragment of a cliarter-book formerly
belonging to Ralph Thoresby, of Leeds, and now in the possea-
aion of Mr. John Gough Nichols, one of the treasurers of this
Society. A pretty full abstract of this is printed in the Col-
lectanea Topograpliica.' It consists merely of fourteen folios
of a email quarto size, and it relates exclusively to the York-
shire property of the Priory. I ghonld have liked to have
given this manuscript entire, but its owner htta unfortunately
mislaid it.

The registers at York contain many documents relating to
the archbishop's regality of Hexham and his officers. These
will probably he given on some other occasion by themaelvea.
It would be perplexing to mix them up in this volume with the
papers which relate cxeluaively to the Priory.

PART II.

THE ARCHITECTURE OF HEXH^VM PRIOKY.

The chief entrance to the close was formerly tlirougli a gate-
house on the north side of the conventual church, now partially
ruined. It appears to have bcKii built about the close of the
twelfth century, and was divided inside into tWee bays, the
archways at each end heing aemi-circuiar. The first bay from
the north formed an open vestibule or porch, crossed,, at its
eastern extremity, by a thick M-all, now removed; In which,
when Mr. Hufcehinaon wrote his View of JJorthumberlaud in
1778, was " a large gatewa^y for horsemen and carriages, and a
narrow one for foot i>a33eiigcrs."'' A walled-up doorway ou the
west aide communicated with the porter's lodge, of which no
other traces remain. The vaulting has been removed witliiu
memory, but Mr- Hutchinson describes it aa " of ribbed arch-
ing, luecting iu the centre ; the interstices filled with tliin.
atones or bricksj such as are seen in Boinan works." Mr. Pen-
nant sayB that " this gate is of the old Sason architecture, and
perhaps part of the labours of the great Wilfrid.-" In a fence
wall, built after the Keformation, and leading from the east
side of this gate-house towards the chiu'ch, are many large
atones which evidently have formed part of a Sason building.
Similar stones may be also seen in the westeni boundaiy of the
churchyard.

The earliest church at Hexham was begun by Wilfrid in
6?'4. The most iutelllgiblc deBcriptlou of it has been given us

by Prior Richard in his Hktory of the Church of Hexhara,
altlioiigli many most desirable paxticidai's are omitted. He says
that it was an edifice of immense len^h and height, and divided
iato three stories, in which we recogmze an arcade, and conse-
quently aisles, a triforium and. a clerestory. The capitals of
the columns and the " arcus sanctuarit" were enriched with
sculptm'ea and painting. The nave was surrounded (he does
not say whetbcr continuously or not) " appentiliis et parlicihus"
which may have been a series of chapels placed at right angles
with the navcj and on each sido open to it. In tlieBe append-
ages or porticoes, which must have been chambered, — since
eome of tliera retained so much elevation as to appear like for-
tresses and towers in Prior Richard's day, — Wiltrtd instituted,
both above and below, altai's in honour of the Virgin Mary,
St. Michael the Archangel, St. John Baptist, and other holy
Apostles, Martyrs, Confessors, and Virgins. The elmrch had
also "cochletB," or lofty round towers, probably placed at the
west end, in a similar position as the " cochlet^" represented iu
a plan of the monastery of St. Gall, which will be found in the
fifth volume of the Arclueological Journal. This monastery
was begun in the year 839, and its arrangements may form
suggestive illustrations of Prior Richard's desenption of the
church of Hexham. The founder also suiTOiuuled the atriimi,
or site of the church, with a wall of great subetance and strength,
and conducted water tlirough the towu in a stone channel to the
offices of the monastery. Not many yeai-s ago, some earthen-
ware pipes were found fitted neatly into each other in situ, in
the vicinity of the Manor office, which are supposed to have
formed part of this aqueduct ; hut the peculiar mode in which

Lad beeu devastated and ruined during the lapse of QeRnyfive
iundred years.

The building of which Wilfrid was ttc founder seems to
have been completed by Acca, hia Mend and successor. It
continued uninjured until the year 875, when every part of the
monastery, except the stoue-workj was destroyed in an invasion
of the Danes. It is possible that some attempts at restoration
may have been soon made, but they did not Buccecd, Some
years after the Conquest, Eilaf, the priest of Hexham, was the
fir&t person to renovate hia ruined choreh. lie put new roofs
on the old walls, and did his best to make things seemly and
decent. . Thia brings the architectural history of Heiham down
to the time of Prior Richard in the middle of the twelfth
centmy. It is evident from his description that the stone-work
of the Priory in his day was the same that Wilfrid Iiad erected
in the sevonth ccntiiry. ; . ,

I shall now speak more minutely about the reinaiiis of Saxon
work at Hexham. This, ia a point of the veiy deepest interest,
heeanae at no other place, in England do we find Cliristian
architecture brought into closer contact with the handiwork of
Roman buiJders, native as well as foreign. Wilfiid, we are
expressly tokl, had a number of Italian and French masons in
hia en^loy, and I think that some of their work may still be
recognized. At Bipon, when any exeavatiou is made on the
site of "Wilfrid's monastery, a number of small white teaaei^
are discovered such as are only found in thia country in or near
Roman camps. In the chapel of St. Mary Magdalene, close
to the same town, before the altar, lies a coloured teaselatcd
pavement which cannot hut be traced to the same source, and
which has evidently been constructed to liU a position such as it
at present occupies. At Hexham Wilfrid and his band of
artizana found on the spot, and in ita immediate vicinity, the
romadna of Roman buildings of considerable grandeur and im-
portance, and his workmen would recognize with pleasure the
workmanship of kindred hands. There arc a few sculptured

atonee at Hexham, -which will be alluiled to hereafter, which
it is difficult to appropriate with certainty either to Cliriatian
or Pagan hanrls. With regard to the church that Wilfrid
built at Hexham, we ai'c told plainly that in this country it
was unsurpassed ; and that in sculpturej painting, and archi-
tecture in general, there was nothing like it on this &ide of
the Alps. It owed nothing, in fact, to Pictish or Irish taste,
nor was it intended that it ehonl-d owe auythingj for it was
obTioiialy Wilfiid's wish to aaaiinilate English architecture to
the French and ItaJianj just as he had united tlioae coiintriea
in ecclesiastical uses and observances. Hciham was the first
church that he built in Bernicia, and at Hesham, therefore, we
may expect to Had some traces of French or Italian ai't. The
principal remains that we have of Saxon sculpture are fragments
of crosses, and at Hexham we olisene on them that peculiar
use of the vine which is ao often seen in the earliest churches
on the Continent. This is shewn by the croaaca whic^h are
engraved in the first volume of this work, and by one which is
still preserved at the Spital. In the ease of the cross wliieh
may possibly hare commemorated Acca, there ia a beauty of
execution and design which suggesta at once its foreign origin.
The same thing may he said of the sculptures represented on
the following page, which are now iu the possession of Mr.
Fairless. The larger of the two was used for steps oji the site
of St, Mary's church. There is a classic severity of style in
the treatmcDt which is at once observable. The same ioSucnce
may be traced on the banlia of the Tyne, where, the religious
suaes were, through Benedict Biscop, coimected immediately
rith Home, The scidptuj"CB at Jarrow bear strong testimony to

tthis. There is one in particular representing two dovea seated
an the tendrils of a vine, — a design which ia seen frequently in

|Italy and France.

That it was the design of Wilfrid to bring a now character of

larchiteeture into England, and that he did so to a great extent
iccessfully, is evident, I think, from the similarity between

the greater part of the Saxon sculptured remains that have beeu
discovered in tlie tract of countrj' which was ruled over hy the
Ijiabop or archbishop of York and Lis Buffragaua. That tract
conapriaed at one time the whole of the Lowlanda of Scotland
lip to the Frith of Forth. Beyond that barrier, the atonesj
eovered with myaterious symbols, arc found in grea.t ahundaiice :
on this side a very different class at once begins ; and at Aber-
com itselfj the seat of a bishop for a very short period, we have
on a cross a vine represented in the same remarkable way in
which it la treated at Hexham. The same pattern may he seen
at Bcwcastle and at Dkley ; and I may eayj g"enerally, that the
croeaea from the Frith of Forth Bonthwards, throughout North-
nmberland, Durham, and Yorkshii'e, hear evident traces of
huTug been created by the same school of art. The iaflocncc
of the monks of loiia upon the old kingdom of Northurabria
lasted for too short a time to enable them to make such a
school ; nor is it likely that plain simple men, as they were,
should have Wilfrid's mao;uificent spirit, or any wish to make
architectui'e a direct means of nursing' devotion. It seems to me
that Wilfrid was the originator of the heautiiiil forms that appear
at Hexham and other plaeesj and which overran Northmnbri*.
I do not say, foe one moment that sculptured €ro38«3 had not
been in use in that conntry before his time ; far from it. They
had come into it perhaps with Paulinus, perhaps firam Ireland ;
but in the hands of "Wilfrid's foreign masons they appeared in
a now character, with foreign deaigua and ornamentation. The
Icsaons of taste which these men gave must have been soon
lost, as the croasea in Northumbria are often somewhat rude.
There is little of that marvellous beauty ■which characterizes
the sculptured memorials in the north and east of Scotland,
and which, although derived perhaps more immediately from
Irelandj is at the same time of an Eastern character. I am
not speaking now of the etrange symbols which the zeal and
inteUigence of the Scottisli antiquaries will, 1 trust, be soon
able to explain.

btiildei'a of the choir began to recoiistruot hnd a eentrid tower
iji the poaitiun of that which now remaius of suhseqiient date,
they could not have removed this portion of the pre^nous clioii'

the apace betiFcen these augles, greater than that which might
be supposed to have oeeurred in a Saxou fabric, does not aft'eot
the queatiou ; for the ehuieh which Wilfrid buUt, and which
probably was repaired and uol altered materially in plan after
tlic Norman ooiMjuest, Mtis of iniuaual dimensions; and in the
present church of Stowe, in Lincolnshire — "the only example
now remaining of ivhat a Saxon church of the largest class
was " — the ■nidtb of the clioir, as determined by the Sason
piers of the centrnl tower, is twenty-four feet.-''' Moreover, it
will be remembered that the capacious centre tower of York
Minster rests on piers containiu;;: in their cores similar angles
of Norman work, which could not safely be removed when the
luljaceiit parts of the fabric were reconstructed.

If this supposition be correct, Wilfrid's church — or^, at all
events, one which retjuired rebuilding at the end of the twelfth
century — must have covered a considerable portion of the
Space occupied hy the Early English structure, the central
square of each being of the same dimeusiouB ; and this idea
may derive some confirniation from the relative position of the
older and the jircsent choir and the crypt ; for if a line he
drawn eastward thi-ough the centre of the latter, it will fall
midway of the tower and these presumed angles of the Saxon
dioir. It is improbable, also, that WiUnd's ci-ypt was origin-
ally placed in any other than in its present relative position, for

had it beeu inti-odueed uuder the eastern end of his church, as
found in churcbee of subsequent date, the Eai'ly Kiiglish
rebuilders must have rejected westwai'd, beyond theif wallB, a
coneiderahle portion of a hallowed site which had far more
that! ordiuary claims on their rpneration and assidiioua pro-
tection.

Both Eddi and Prior Kichard seem to have been especially
struck with the apartments which Wilfi'id /Gonstructed deep
down helow this chureh, and it itiay have been thut he firat
iiitJ'oduced such features in English churches. Eddi, speaking
of the church, aays : — " Cnjns profunditatem in terra cum
domibus mixifice politia lapidibu3 fundatam," etc. Kichard
speaks more explicitly of crypts, undergi'omid oratories, and
winding passages. Of these, with their appurtenant passsgea,
only oue is now known, and that so recently discovered as the
year 1726, although, most probablyj it will be found at a future
day to communicate with another. Whatever position it may
have occupied with reference to its original superstructure, it
■was left by the early Euglish rebuilders at the eastern extremity
of their nave. That portion of the church is now destroyed,
and the crypt is therefore now entered from the churchyard.
There is no object of similar character in the kingdom, except
one in the cathedral church of Ripon, which unquestionably
owes its origin to St. AYilfrid. The annexed plans^ will describe
better than words in what respects they resemble each other;
but it must be remembered that the approach to the crypt of
Ripon was altered when the central tower wa^ erected above it.
As to other points of difference in detail, the chapel of the
crypt at Hexharu is rather larger than that of Ripon, measuring
13 feet 4 inches by 8 feet, against 11 feet 3 inches by 7 feet 9
inches. It is also placed much deeper jn the ground, and is

country. In the one,' the cells at the west end of the flanking
passages have triangular roofs; in the other, the cells are not
defined from the pasaages hy arches, and are covered with Hat
stones. At Hexham the aiiti-chapel has a barrel vault, at
Eipon a aemi-vaalt only. In the one, two pasKsgea lead east-
ward and one southward j the other has hut onp outlet towards
the choir. In this cryjit the heads of the niehes are flat, and
there ar& none in the eastern wall ; in the otherj they hare
semi-circular heads, and there is one on the north side of the
apace once occupied hy the altar, and a larger one above that
space, in the middle of the wall. But both the crjijts have
obviously proceeded from a coiumon type, although the idea ia
more elaborated nt Hexham than at Ripon. Both chapels have
their entrances in the same positions. In both, the eemi-
circular heatle of the doonvays, which are of the same height —
6 feet 3 inches — are cut out of horizontal slabs. The passages
in each agree in width within an inch. Both have funnel-lite
apertures in the heads of the nicheSj and deep round basins in
the bases. In both, the north-east niche is -pierced through to

Irrespective of the general interest "which must attach to
this Crypt as one of the earliest and moat curious of the Sason
etructurea that we possesSj it is remarkable from having been
built almost entirely of stones which have been used in au
earlier work. Two of these bear Roman ioscriptiona, and tlie
rest are presumed to have had the same oiigiii. Evidently
they have been used here as the moat eligible materiala which
"Wilfrid TOuld command, andj as ia shewn by their positionsj
not for the sake of ornament or enriching the character of his
design. The lesser inscription contains fragmciita of fire linesj
which have been so injured by insertion in its present position
as to be unintelU^ble. The other is on a stonej which forms
the coTer of the aouth-caat angle of the passage which ilanka
the crypt on the north. It is engraved iu Horsley's Britannia
Romana, together with a Boman altaij dedicated to Quintua
CalpuraiuB Concesainua, apparently a prefect of a troop of
Corionototari, which was observed also by Stukely and GalCj
when they visited the crypt in the year in which it was dis-
covered, hut which cannot now he found.

Of the sculptured and incised stones which are to be
observed on all sides in the crypt there are two pieces of a
Roman eornice in the southei'n passage, of which an example
is engraved in the Archseological Joiu'ual/ together with two
patterns, of which Mr. Hudson Turner there saya : — " Though
some doubt may be entertained, we are inclined to consi<ler
thera relics of that debased style of art which marked the
works of the Roman legionariea in Britain." 1 cannot enter

past been used as a private burial-place, aud the entrruice is
covered with a table of marble of pi-odigious size, which is not
usually moved but at the denunciation of mortality. The
massive clauslram was heaved from the mouth, of the vault by
iron croTca and i-oUcrs, at which the ground trembled over the
arches." This covering is removed, but immediate access to
the crypt is only obtaiucd now, as it was then, by descending

Blink above tlie foot of the original entrance from the weet,
eeveral of the steps of which, prolonged to their former length
in the plaOj may still be seen. After passing tlirough a narrow
doorway or opening in the wall with a semi-circular bead, devoid
CTen of the accompaniment of a chamfer, the visitor enters the
anti-chapel, a chamber with a barrel vault 9 feet 2 incbea long,
5 feet 7 inches wide, and 9 feet in estreme height. Nearly in
the centre of tlie vault, which shews some atones of the cbarac-
teriatie Saxon dressing, are tracca nf a small rectangular open-
ing, like one in a similar position in the crypt at Ripon; but for
what purpose it baa been used (the coincidence inclining me to
think it ia not merely accidental) it ia not eaay to conjecture.
In the south wall is a small rece&s or niche, with a flat head in
front, hut hollow like a funnel behind, and with a deep circular
cavity ot basin in the base. This niche, which resembles all
the rest in the crypt, is al^o perfectly uuoriiamented. From
this chamber we paas by a doorway oppoaite to that by which
we entered, and of -simdai' size and character, into the chapel
or main body of the crypt. It is vaulted, like the anti-chapel,
and to the aanie height, the length being 13 feet -l- inches, and
the width 8 feet. There is a niche in the west wall, on the
right hand as we enter. The only membci;' on the north side ia
a niche towards the east end, in all reapecta like the rest; but
with this additionul peculiarity, which appears not to have been
noticed by previous, writers on the crjpt, that, like the cele-
brated " St. Wilfrid's Needle," exactly in the same position in
the crypt at Ripon, it is voided to the passage ou the other side
of the waU. For what pnrpoj^e these pecidiar openings may
have been originally used it is, perhaps, now useless to inquire.
Certain only It is that, in this case, tfie uicbe haa never been

5 feet 4 inches long, by S feet 6 inches wide, and roofed with
large flat stones, inclining like the sides of a triangle, the
apex of which is 8 feet from the floor. Hence we pass east-
wai-d, through an archway, into a passage 3 feet G inches broad,
and corered with large atones placed horizontallyj leading in the
same direction for tlie space of 8 feet 6 inches, witt a gentle
ascent. At this point it turns sontbward, and further pi-ogress
was until recently arrested by a dry wall, probably placed
there, like one in the passage on the opposite aide of the crypt,
wlieri the ■western piers of the tower of the cliurch were
strengthened by the superincumbent buttresses. We can, liow-
ever, now sec that the western side of it continues in the same
southern direction for the space of ten feet and more, and that
near the point of divergence another passage has gone forward
towards the east; but the unprotected state of the earth and
etonea overhead prevents further investigations from this side,
though the Bouthem passage might probably be traced by an
excavation opposite the dooi-way which formerly led from the

remains iinesplored that a person statioaed in it can distinctly
hear wonis spoken in the transept of the church. It is very
desii'able that this outlet should he restored, for many persona
might thereby be enabled to visit the crypt who cannot use the
present very inconvenient mode of entrance.

After a very careful examination of the church, I have been
unable to discover any traces of pure Norman architecture, or
any materials that might he supposed to have been used in a
bnilding of that character. It is entirely Early English, com-
mencing with transitional detail; but how far the gronnd-
plan has hceu suggested from the previous structure, there are
no fact* upon Tvbich to base a definite judgment. The work of
reconstruction commenced with the choir, at the very end
of the twelfth century. Then followed, at respective periods,
very briefly removed, the south transept, the west side and the
end of the north transept, the south side of the same transept,
the central tower, and the nave; hut whether the latter por-
tion was completely tranafonncd or not wc are not now able to
ascertain. In sui-vcying the building I shall proceed in the
same course, describing first the external, and then the internal
features.

The elevations of both the north and south sides of the choir
exhibit six. bays, the eastern one of each having been recently
rebuilt. In the aisles they are divided by shallow fiat buttresses,
or Yjila&tf rs, rising from & splayed base, the heads dying into the
cnrbel tabic. In each is a lancet light, under a plain head
supported by single cylindrical shafts, and covered by a hood
moulding, which passes from light to light continuouBly over
the buttresses, like the string course on which the windows
stand. About midway is a pointed doorway walled up on a
plane with the enclosing wall, but as it hEis neither been moidded
nor splayed in the jambs or the architrave, and has no hood
moulding either witbiu or without, it may have originally heen
introduced for a temporary purpose. In the clerestory the divi-
sione are made by narrower pilasters than those of the aialeti.

reeded at tlic angles, witt tri[ingidnr heads, each having the
face relievfid with a sunken trefoil. In each bay is an ai'cade
of three pointed memhera siipportpd by single cyliiidrieid ^liafta,
— the central and widest one enclosing a lancet light, AbovCj
is a corbel table and plain coped parapet. The eastern fafade
lias been recently rebuilt, but an idea of its general character
may be formed from a north-east "prospect" of the cliurchj
taken about the ycai' UlGl,^ The central Gompartnicnt seems to
have been flanked by two large buttresses staged only onee on
a level with tlie parapet of the clereFtorj, above which point they
aesmne the shape of lofty square tnrreta with pyramidal heads,
not unlike those which their btiilders may have admired in the
transitional Norman work of their patron, archbishop Bxjger, at
Ripoii. On the apes of the gtihle was a lai'ge pinnacle with a
niche in front, surmqtinted by a plain Latin oross having three
smaller erosaes at its base, — one on each aide, and one in fi^nt
attached to the head of the niche. How faithfully the artist
has rendered the detail may be a question on which different
opinions may be entertained. The same observation will apply
to the great east window, which is represented in the same
plate as divided into five Lighb; under two intersecting sab-
archea, the space in the head of the main arch, above the point
of intersection, licing filled apparently with four quatrefoila;
while the rest of the tracery is formed by merely doubbng the
number of the mullions of the lights below. The inaccuracy
which occurs in many of the plates in the Monasticon, especially
in the d.elineation of tracery, need not indeed have raised a
doubt whether such a window was inserted at tlie close of the
flffcee]ith century, when t!ie fittings of the choii- appear to have
been renovated, had not a window of an earlier character actually
oceu]iie(l its place luitil about thirty years ago, when another of
somewhat similar design was substituted, and in its turn was
superseded at the recent rebuilding of the gable. Wrightj in

his History of Hesliam^ says of tlie window which lie saw in the
year 1823, that it "is singular ia this, that it is, or appears to
be, broader at the spring of the ardi than at the base of the
columns. It i& likewise distingiiislied by that ornameut com-
monly called the witches' wheel. It is divided by 'slender
shafts of shapely stoue,' as usual : but the great oriiaoieut of
sueh buildings, and what ought paiticulai'ly to distinguish them
—painted glass, ia totally wanting." He then goea on to
" lament the nmtUaied state in which it is/' a fact which iu one
resjiect corroboratea the opinion exprcased to me by a competent
observer who had examined it,, that the tracery had remained
unaltered for a much longer period than that which had elapsed
since the publication of Dngdale's engrax'ing. If a conjecture
may be hazarded on an object of which we have a very impertect
description, I would suggest that the old window was inserted
soon after the spoliation of the Church by the Scots in 1296, in
the place probably of two tiei's of lancet Ughts, anrmotmted by
a wheel; and that iu the enlargement of the s-pace to obtain a
lighter efi'ect, while the walla and shafts between the lights were
diminished to mullions, a semblance of the wheel was fondly
retained in the disposition of the tracery by which it had been
displaced. Mr. Fairlesa haa seen a piece of pot metal glaasj
taken from this window, painted with a brown pattern in the
style which obtained in the latter pai-t of the thirteenth
century.

As to the eastem ends of the choir aisles, their windows
are obscured in Dugdale'a view, bat each outer angle ia Hanked
by a large buttress wliich rises above the roof in the shape of a
square turret with a pyramidal cap; there appears also to have
been a light on each side for the use of the triforium, flanked
on the outer side by a pointed blank recess.

Rinining along the eastern wall there was formerly altind
of eastern trausept, 59 feet long by %<> in width, called the old
school. It probably took the place of the sanctuary, or shrines
behind the altar, in which the remains of the Saints of the

church were for aivhUc deposited.' When they were rcmored
and laid in closer proximity to the lugh altar, the site that they
had once occupied seems to have been Tcserved for aacred pnr-
pnaesj and a sehonl was erected there; for the Augimtinian
canons were ordered to pay particular attention to learning md
edudatioa. It is said that this school was bu-fued hy the Scots
in 1296, when the achoLara were within it. This is the more
probable, because, after the demolition of adjoining houses,
the exterior of a building of this description was exposed, with
five square-headed Decorated windows of three Ughta each
looking' towards tiic cast, and DUe of four lights in the tiOrthem
and southern gables, of the customary shape. Under each of
tlicse windows there was a door. It may be presumed, there-
fore, that this is the bnildiug which was erected in the fourteentTi
century, when there was a temporary rest from invasion. Like
its predecessor, it was used for the purposes of education. It
appears in Dugdale's view of the church in KiGl. For some
years the restoration of this curious adjunct to the choir
was contemplated, hut from want of funds the project was
deferred; other counsels prevailed, and it was ultimately demo-
lished.

On the east side of the eouth transept the clerestory ranges
with that of the choir, and is made into bays by flat huttresacs
witli pyramidal heads, but without a trefoil in them. The triple
arcade, which in each division carries the light in the centre,
is not supported by shafts hewn from a single stone, as. is usually
the ease, and as they appear in the choir, but by semi-octagounl
projections walled in courses. The corbel table, above which is
a plain parapet, is continued ft'om the choir, A peculiar appear-
ance is imparted to the aisle by its incluBion, in the southern-
most of its three hays, of a passage and chamber above, which,
in most othei* conventual churches, are found intervening between
the south transept and the chapter-house. In its lower story

topped lights. AIjovc ia a triangular receaa, aiid theu come two
windowa of the same shape as those beloiv^ but of larger dimen-
siona. The buttress which flanks this compartment ou the
north is eemi-octagoual, rising from a rectangular baae, but it
has not the singular footing for the diagonal sides which appears
on the CEist aide of the north traoseptj nor any other peculiarity
about the head, ■which merely sinks into a flat pilaster below the
corbel table. The buttress, however, nest to tKe choir, is triple-
gabled at the stage where the octagonal chang^cs into the flat
surface. The windows are of the Bame character as those of
the contiguous aisle of the choir, but n&ither the string course
on which they stand, nor that which eonnecta their hood
mouldiiag, ranges with those of that earlier portion of the
structure.

In the south face of this transept the most prominent fea-
tures are three plain lancet lights in the upper part, a very con-
siderable space below having been flanked by the chapter-house
and an apartment above it, the high pitched roof of which
encroached on the tower portion of the central light. There
are octagonal turrets at the two angleSj and the gable has been
lowered and eornieed like that of the north wing of the tran-
ecpt, at the cud of tlie fifteenth century.

The west side, which originally formed a portion of the
boimdary of the cloistcr-c^onrt, preaeuta, in its basement, a
eontiuuous arcade of pointed members of varying width ; the
largest encloshig the doorway which once opened into the
cburchj and another, of leaser size, that which leads into the
passage above mentioned at the extreme eud of the transept.
Above, are the corbels which carried the pent-house roof of the
eastern cloister. At the height of two courses of masonry work
above them is a plain string courae, and at the distance of seven
more, annther, on which, without a divisional buttress or ac-

table and coped parapet as appear there.

Of the nave nothing more remains above-ground than a
fragment at the west end, which defiuca little more than the
length of this part of the church, before it was burnt hy the
Scots in 1390; and the I'act, otherwise ohvious, that it had an
aisle on the north side. Whether the absence of a con-espoud-
ing member on the south side was occasioned by some arrange-
ment of the buildings on the west and south sides of the,
cloister-court, which would uot admit of encroachment on its
space ; or by some reason connected with the structure of the
original Saxon nave ; or by «ome custom which prevailed
among the Augustinian canonsj cannot perhaps be determined ;
but I may remark that in the conventual obiireb of Bolton-iu-
Craven, of that order, the nave baa no Bonthern aisle; and, in
that case, the adoption of the plan must have been voluntary,
and not dictated by pre-existing' arrangement. Be tliis as it
may, it la obvious that this pecaliarlty must have produced a
different design in the elevation of the northern and southern
Gidesj and liow these were detailed — if the nave was eniirehj
rvhiilt in. the Early Eugliali period — -we may form a tolerable
opinion by examining tliose fragments of the two main walla
which are now embedded in the great modern buttresses which
support the central tower. On the' south side, the three string
eourses which define the several peculiar divisions of the west
side of the contiguous transept are prolonged into this remnant
of the uave; s^uggesting the idea that, both internally and
externally, the south side of the nave was of the same design as
the present west wall of the south transept. Both, too, must
have been similarly affected by their engagement with the
cloister. Of the north side, we can only infer that the cleres-
tory was of the &nm^ chsiracter m that of the contiguous west
aide of the north transept, troai the continuation, as in the
other caae, of the string; course \mder the windows, and also of

There appeura to have been no tower at the west end, and, moat
probably, the gable was flanked externally by two turrets, like
those which existed formcily at the opposite extremity of the
church. The wall which now stands upon the fuundation of the
»Outh side of tlie nave, bo as to form a screen and carry the
cloister of the quadrangle, has been built in the fifteenth
centnrj.

The north traiwept is of graceful and effeetive character,
and in several respects differs in design from the opposite wing,
It rises from a bold basement, at a. libber level than that of the
choir, into which a dog-tooth moulding is introduced. The
main front is flanked, on the west hy a flat buttress, on the
east by one of semi-octagoual form, wliichj after assuming a
more slender substance below the base of the clerestory, be-
comes a slight flat projection, the top of which ig sptayed to the
wall. The doorway, placed in the centre, was erected by the
Mercers' Company of Loudon, to which the patronage of the
lecturcRliip in this church belougs ; but it appeaT.s from Dugdale's
plate that, in the year 1601, one with a semi-circular head had
occupied its place. Immediately above, and filling the inter-
mediate space under the base of the clerestory, are three very
long lancet lights under an arcade of pointed arches, the mem-
bers containing the lights being the widest; but the cylindrical
shafts, bauded twice in theii' elevation, which must have added
materially to the design, are all destroyed, with the exception
of a nook shaft in the western angle. The clerestory has three
lancet lights under an arcade rising with the inclination of the
gable, the members being divided, aa in instances previously
noticed, not by shafts, but by serai-octagon al masonry. To-
wai'ds the end of the fifteenth century tlie pitch of tlie gahle
was lowered, and decorated with a cornice of concave moulding,
charged with quatrcfoils, which rises frora two plain octagonal
turrets with pointed heads, hut part of the Early English work.

THE FKEPACB. PART II.

It is remarkable that these wiuJows, like all tUe rest in tire
transept, whei-e a patliway crosBed the eill in the ititenor, are
walled up to about the height of six feet, not improbably after
the Scottish iunirsion lu 12!)fi, and for the purpose of shclter-
iug those using the passage from arrows or other missiles that
might othei'wisc haye been aimed at them bj those mai'auders,
from whom the canons must have esperiencerl frequent amMnr-
ance. The north faec of the attendant aisles is enclosed be-
tween two Hemi -octagonal buttres&es, tlie head of the eastern
one being adorned with a peculiar little finial. There ia one
light under a triple arcade, and another above, with a hlunlc-
pointed areli by its west side, whieh formerly lit the tnforiura,
but ia now walled up, like the wbole of the clerestory lights oii
the east aide of the transept. At what period this was done,
and for what purpose, has not been aacortained.

The west side of this wing of the transept is dirided by
three buttresses. That which flanks the outer angle is flat, the
others in a great degree resemble those on the east side ; and,
after rising in a semi -octagonal form from a rectangular base,
diminish to a smallei- substance, retaioiug, howcvcr, the same
form, and then reeede to the wall to divide, in a flat shape, the
bays of the clerestory. They difter, however, from the but-
tresses on the east side, in the three outer faces of the upper
serai-oetagon ending in a triple gable. The three long lancet
lights whieh adorn this fajode ai'c not placed under an arcade,
but are enrmoimted merely by a liood moulding, which moa
continuously from end to end, passing over tlie buttreasea. The
elcrestoiy resembles tliat of the opposite wing.

The same arrangement is followed in the clerestory of the
east aide of the north transept, where the aisle has three semi-
octagonal bnttress-es, on rectangular bases, banded by the string
course which runs at the sills of the windows, the foot of each
diagonal face being turned up with a curious ornament. The
heads recede to the wall, and one of them has a amall finial of
foliage on a slender etcra, rising like a plant out of the upper

frout face. The tliree lancet lights are each placed under an
nj-catle of three members, the mouldrng which decorates the
jam'bs and heads of the windowa being continued at their bases.
The corbel table, prolonged horisontaUy acrosa the north face
of the aiBle, is of the plainest eharacter. In Dugdale'a plate,
a high buttressed wallj apparently of mediieval work, nina firora
the north-east angle of the transept for a considerable distance,
pa^rallel with tlie clxoiT.

The tower, placed at the interseotion of the choir and
transept, rises little higher than its square above their roofs,
from which it emerges as a mere mass of plain masonry. A
little above their ridges it ia slightly contracted, and each face
eshibits, between two flat buttresses, a pointed arcade of five
members — divided by triple shafts of masonry— of which the
second and fourth are larger and liig;her than tlie rest, and
contain in each a pointed window, originally subdi-v-idcd into
two pointed hgbts by a miiUion now destroyed. The corbel
table is Hurmouiited by an embattled parapet, enclosing a
low pyramidal roof. In the plate just mentioned, the roof,
which was then covered with lead, assumed the form of a
spire, about as high as the width of the base of the tower.
TJpon this was placed a cross aurraounted by a vane of con-
Biderable height. These, however, like the present battle-
ment, must have been erected after the church was burned by
the Scots.

The old bells, which have been for some time melted down,
were six in number, and, according to Mr. Wright, three of
them bore the date 1404, St. Mary's bell was the largest,
weighing as much as 70 cwt. It was called the fray bell, and
was rung specially when there was an alarm, particularly of a
foray or inroad. Ita last peal was at the marriage of Sir
William Blackett, when it was cracked by the boisteraus
demonstrations of the ringers. St. Audrew^s hell, the next in
size, was rtmg at f«iieraU, and was called the haly or Iioly bell.

It may here be observed that the roofs of both the choir

being Bmelted, a quantity of silver was obtained from that

Interior of the Church. — On entering the choir, we
infer by comparison of the sections of mouldings, and other
detail, that the south side ia probably a little earlier in date
than the other. The five columns which divide it from the
aislea on each side all stand on rectangnlar baaes, a.nd arc com-
posed of eight members or shafts, not rounded, but shaped in
section like the end of a lance. On the south side, all the
capitals are quite plain, hut on the north, foliage of an incipient
character ia introduced. The eastern rpspondsj indeed, judging
from the modem edition of them, must have been of tran-
sitional Norman character, ^' The originals are said to have
been more spirited." On both sides the abacus ia rectangular

pomtcd scctiou. The mouldings of the archivolts, which tbese
pillars Bupportj are boH and well eomposcdj but their arrange-
ment, on the south side, differs a little from that on the north,
and it has also a serrated, instead of the plain hood moulding
wLicli occurs on the opposite side.

The triformm — stroagly savouriug of Norman influence,
both iu the genera! design and the large space which it occupies
between the arcade and the clerestory — eoutrihutes to this part
of the church a dignified and powei-fiil effect, not unheeded by
the huUderg of the transept at an advanced period, when a
modified form of it might otherwise have been introduced. It
is divideil, on both aides, into hays hj triple shafts resting on
semi-cylindrical bases, with something like three nail heads
projecting from the face of each ; and these again are suppoi-ted
by floi'ifttod brackets, the string course intervening. The
mouldiugs of the semi-circular arches, very little inferior io
span to those of the ai-cade below, riae from two cylindrical
shafts in the splay and two in the soffit, corresponding with the
two shafts, jflaced one behind the other, which carry the two
pointed sub-arches; between which a sunken quatrefoil appears
in the apandril. On the uorth side there is no decoration
attempted, except the naU-head ornament in one member of
the arch, common to both aides, — and iu the last bay westward,
where the angle flanking the nook shaft is oiiiameuted with
dog-tooth work; a treatment which obtains tbi-onghont the
southern triforium,

Both sides of the choir are lighted alike with plain lancet
lights on a nail-headed string course passing over the dividing
Taultiujj shafts, each light appearing in the middle of an arcade
of three raeinbera. It is s.up[iorted by shafts tripled at the

shoulilered, so as to form a trefoil head towarda the interior,
and to admit more light.

The east end having been rebuilt needs no other comment
than that it is of a more advanced character than the lateral
walls, aud appears to have been compiled from various portions
of the church, vrithout observing the difl'erent sttiges of develop-
ment which it presents. As the modem character of the work
is obviouH to the most careless obaerver, no sncb misconception
can arise as must be caused by the prolongation, at the same
period, of the nook shal'ts at the west angles of the chair, which
were formerly pendentive, and the introduction of the wall
oriiitment, which occurs only in the latest portion of the church,
in the north transept. The reredoa behind the altar seems to
have been suggested from the arcade of the aisle of that portion
of the church. It is composed of seven trefoil-headed. archeSj
supported hj shafts, except the central one, which rises in a
cm-vilinear direction from the wall, without the interposition of
either capital or bracket !

The aisles of the choir have single lancet lights, enclosed
within a moidded head, supported by cylindrical shafts-, with
capitala of tranaitionaJ Norman feeling, and a rectangular
abacus. Thej stand on a bold string course. Both aisles are
vaulted with stone, supported by pendentive shafts, which varyj
in section on the respective sides. In the diagonal ribs of the
groining a large between two smaller reeda appears; in the
transverse rih^ they are of equal size. The bosses are adorned
with foliage. In the third bay from the east, on the south side,
ia a doorway inserted, in the Decorated period, hut now walled
up, with a trefoil-headed piscina on its west side. Each aisle,
no douhtj had its altar at the east end, with the necessary
appendages, but as the bay in which they would have been
enclosed has been rebuilt, we find no other indication than a
large locker on each side, the heads of which, however, from
some whim, not to be explained, were changed in that work
from the flat to the semi-circular form.

Towards the cloee of the fifteenth century, while Ko'wland
Lescliman and Ttcunas Smitheou eat in the Prior's stall, the
whole of tte woodwork of the church seeniB to have been
renewed, including the roofa of the choir and transept. After
the Refoxraationj time and neglect wrought their usual effect's
upon it, though probably some definite idea of the general
nature of the arrangementB might have been still obtained htid
not the recent alterations swept away all that reeted on the
floor, except the rood-screen, and left it only for the student
to examine the ruin in tragments. This screen, — certainly
one of the most singular and interesting eomhirkations of
eandng and painting in the idBgdom, — stands betweea the
eastern piers of the central tower, and projects or cavea over,
both to the east and west^ for the salse of obtaining greater
space in the loft; forming thus on the east aide a continuous
canopy for the stalls. On this side, the screen shews only a
panelled front on each side of the central doorway, and appears.
to have been *' restored." In front, over the entrance, projects
a ae mi-octagonal jube, the panela of which and the rest of the
loft, sixteen in number, are each painted with the figure of a
Saint, archbishop, or bishop, but I could not distinguish their
particular characteristics from the floor. Being not immediately
accessible, they remain in a good state of preservation, hut
require cleaning to bring out the detEul." In the heads of the
pointed doorways iu the sides of the porch, are two large
picturea, one of the Salutation and the other of the Annuncia-
tion of the Blessed Virgin. The west side of the vertical part
of the screen under the loft ia divided into three bays, the
central one being occupied by the doorway. The lower portion
of the rest eihibit a row of sbtteen panela, each containing the
picture of a mitred personage, — some of them nimhcd, — and
about 2 feet 4 inches high. A few of their uamea are painted
on them, but the light ia seldom sufficiently powerful to

the shafts which support the fan-traccrj ceiling below the loftj

tion, but still more charming when the back-groimd retained
the colours with which it was filled in." Tlie ceiling is still
coloured in coutraat, red and green, the face of the ribs having
been originally gilded. The fi-ont of the loft stands upon a
cornice, in the concavity of ivhich are inserted, along with
yuatrefoila and roses, the following letters, each with contrac-
tions, or letters entwined, forming a monogram of a whole word^
carved in relief upon a separate square tablet : —

ally, the termination of the work; but there has long been fixed
upon it a continuous row of twenty-four panels n'itli tracery in
their square Leads, containing a aeries of pictures, like those in
the base of the screen, painted on the wood. Five of them in

According to a plan of the pews taken in the year 1830, it
appears that there ivere four stalls oil eairli side of the west eud
of the ehoLP, fourteen on the north side and sixteen on tlie
aouthj but both series terminated at the same point eastward;
though, on the north aide, two stalls were included witliin. the
tliird intercolumniation from the west, hut three witliin the
same space on tlie opposite side. Thirteen of these stalls are
now placed at the eastern extremity of each aisle of the choir,
hut they have no tabernacled heads or canopiesj and, judging
from the plain surface of the elbows or divisions hetwccn each,
it does not appear that they originally had such a protection.
It may have been that they had a panelled screen behindj some-
thing like the blank tracery workj with a coved ceiling of fan
traeepy projecting, like that on the weat aide of the rood-screen ;
but the hcada of the west stalls hare been, so mangled that tliis
is little more than conjecture. The miaerereB do not attain the
general iutereat of that class of objects, being chiefly foliage,
though one bears the figure of a bird which liaa been supposed
to be a memorial of Edward Jay, the last Prior. The font
formerly stood immediately in front of the northern groups of
the wcatern stalls.

Of the lattices or screens which dinded the main hody of
the choir from Its aisles, not one now remains in position.
Probably they exhibited such flaraboyaot tracery as still happily
remains on the west side of the rood screen, combined with the
pictured panels whieh hfiye been, and with others that wiU be
hereafter, alladed to. Some fragments of them, which are
still preservedj must evoke as high an admiration of the skill
and piety of those who produced tlicm, as of the opposite
feeling towards those who destroyed the worts of men into
whose minds they eonld not enter.

Before the late "restoration," the sedilia stood under the
easternmost hay of the choir, on the south side. They joined
the wall at the east end, and left a passage between the opjx)site
end and the pillar, not being wide enough to fill the spiu^.

the armorial bearings^ perhaps, of the family of Woodhome,
though the style of the work forbids their assignationj in this
case, to the Prior of Hexham of that name. A piece of open
crest-work, engraved at p. clsiii of the Preface of Vol. I,,
bearing the same shield in connexion with an eagle, was taken
from the fi-ont of a gallery above the objeet now under descrip-
tion, but whether it originally formed part of it I have not
ascertained. Each of the seatB was originally surmomited by a
Bema-sexagonal canopy, divided from each other by a tall pin-
nacle which rose from the hinder part of the partition, and
ceiled with fan tracery, now mutilated, except the bosses, in
which are introduced two human faces and as many roses.
Until recently, the sedilia were occupied by the churchwardens.
Considering the limited space that could be allotted to pri-
vate altare, iu consequence of the absence of a nave, there
were probably several screens passing transversely across the
aislea of the choir, leaving only a processional path between
them and the wall. Two chapels indeed remained in a tolerable
state of preaervation until the recent period to which we are
compelled eo often to allude ; when one was mangled and re-
moved to another part of the church, and the other waa wan-
tonly torn in pieces and dispersed, as "old materials," I
prefer, however, to describe them here in conncsJon with their
original sites, that the reader may be in some degree enabled
to recall those ancient associations of the choir wLlcb camiot

resting of these encloguies stood on the north aisle of the choir,
TcitKiu the aecond bay from the east endj and was popiilarly
called " Prior Richard's shrine," Whether this appellation had
its origin before the Eeformationj in coimesion -with a recorded
fact or tradition that this celebrated member of the house was
interred in this particular sp&t, or -waa aBsociated otherwise with
it, will probably never be ascertained. Certain only it is, from
the late presence of the initials of Prior Rowland Leechman on
the roof, that it was erected by him, either as a chantry chapel
of his own foim.dation, — for which I am not aware that the
reqijisite licence remains on the Patent Rolls, — or as a recon-
struction of some pre\'ious enclosure connected with Prior
Bichard] which obtained, therefore, especial attention from
Leschman when he renewed the woodwork of the choir, and
which received his mark, like other parts of the fahricj in token
that — " This made Leschman." The chapel filled the whole
intercolumniatiou, and projected on the south side beyond the
biLses of the pillars, having an entrance from the choir at the
cast part of this front, which was stopped up within memory,
when another entrance was made irom the aisle, at the east
end. It did not free the aisle, but a passage occurred between
it and the wall. As it now stands in the aisle of the south
tranacpt, the " shrine" raeaBurea 13 feet 6 inches long on the
BOutb aide, II feet on the north, and is 11 feet 6 inches high,
and upwards of 6 feet wide ; but how far the sides retain their
original proportions and respective positions I am not clearly
informed. I note this only, that in a plate of the shrine which
may be found in Wright's History of Hexham, p. 78, the base
of what is called there the south front is now the north front,
with a doorway at the eastern extremity of it, of which there
are no traces at present. The plate, however, in other respects,
is extremely inaccurate. In an architectural point of vicw^ the
work is of a very debased character, though some portions of
the flalahoyant tracery of the lattices are beautifully designed.

not less tlum a foot deep. The present nortliem basement is
much plainer in character, though equally singular in its design
as the one just described. Upon plain masonry, 18 inches
high, 13 a deeply recessed arcade of eight members, excludiug the
half panels at each end. The dividing ribs are flat and rudely
moulded with semi-circular moulded bases but rectangular
capitals merely chamfered. In the heud of each arcade is a
compressed trefoil, enclosed unskilfully under a cinquefoil, thus
giving the effect of a cornice without its projection; the lower
part is filled with a trefoil -headed arch -with a plain ogee canopy,
the tops decorated with a series of heads of men and animals.
It ia to be remarked in connexion with an object shortly to be
desenbed, that the pilaster which bounds the east etid of this
northbm basement is ornamented with a piuiel defined by
incised hues with a semicij-cular head. If this aide did actually
face the choir when it stood in its origuial position, this pilaster

must liave formed one jamb of the doorway aa clepicted iu
Wrighfs platCj and the upper portion of the ■Compartment in
which the door waa placed must have been destrojed at the
time of the "Restoration," thus causing the present disparity
in the length of the aides. Upon tliis basement, on each side,
stands a wooden lattice or Bcreen of more than equal lieight,
that on. the north remaining the most perfect. It ia now mtide
into six vertical diviaiona by panelled shafts decorated with
hlank tracery, resting on brackets, in the form of bewls. Each
of these ogce-hcaded spaces was divided by a mullioDj enriched
in tlie hollows with quatrefoils, into two eemieircular-headed
openings, not foiled j the space between and the cornice being
filled with delicate flamboyant tracery. There is a flat booi'ded
ceiling over the chapel, originally ribbed, but all the membcja
Lave been destroyed, and now only one perfect centre boss
remains, decorated with a red rose, with seven half bosses at the
sides, and two comer bosses, all representing well designed
fohagej and painted, Mr, Fairlcea fortunately possesses a cast
of One of the centre bosses which assigns the erection of the
shrine to Prior Leschman. It bears the device of an augel
holding a shield, charged with the letters V and [ iu saltire,
their disposition having been perhaps suggested by St. Andrew's
cross.'' The same idea may have croaaed the fancy of the
designer of that elegant piece of woodwork, engraved at the
176th page of the Preface to "The Priory of Hexham/' where
two objects, supposed to represent barbed arrows, are placed in
saltire with an R above and an L below the point of intersec-
tion, not improbably allusive to some trade or occupation in
life from which the surname of the Prior was derived. Mr.
"Wright, in his History, published in the year 1833, says that
the " north side and west end of the shrine are entirely de-
stroyed j" but, in the flrst instance, he can mean no more than
that the wooden lattice had been much despoiled, as ia now the
ease on the aonth side.

THE FABRIC OF THE FRIORY.

ixi

At the east end of thia chapel — where it was placed before
its removal from the choir — is a remarkable stone altar, occupy-
ing its entire width of 5 feet 3 inches, and 4 feet 4 inches high,
the cover or slab being slightly chamfered, and bearing- the five
crosses. On the north side of the Tcrtical face is a square-
headed openingj 1 foot lOJ inches high, and 9^ inches wide,
continued through the whole substance of the altar, and pro-
bably once used as a place of deposit for the sacred utenails.
On each aide of tlie aperture is a sculptured pauelj the other
exposed side of the atone formiug part of the inner face of the
opening, having another panel of like chuacter. That on the
north side contains a most archaic -looiirig Sason acrollj copied,
no doubt, from one existing at the time in the Priory, facing
the spectator ; and, inside the recess, an ape sitting. Opposite
to it is a hare squatting under foliage ; and, outside, the eame
stone presents a pilgriiQj with hi* gtaffj wearing a wallet and
Cap, both with the badge of the escallop shell. lu " the dork
ages" of English archEeologj) Mr. Hutchinson^ sagely con-
jectured these figures to be of Roman workmanship, the ape
representing Silemia and the pilgrim Jupiter : but they are
obviously of the same date as the rest of the chapel, and pre-
cisely of the same character as those found on its south side.

The wKole space between the altar slab and the roof of the
chapel is occupied by a piece of wainscot, 7 feet high. The lower
panel, filUng the whole width, contains a singular painting, not
to be properly viewed witliout artificial light, hut which Mr.
Wright in his History saya "represented the sufferings oi
Christ. The Saviour in the centre, his hands crossed before
him and tied, crowned with thoma, etc. ; on his right hand
cords and scourges are cross-tied to a tree ; above are thii'ty
pieces of silver. lu the foreground a figure like a monk in the
attitude of prayer (not iiuprobglily intended to represent Prior
Leschman) holds a conspicuous etation. On the ground are
pincers, etc. On the left hand of the Saviour the garments

are senttercd over the wliole piece,'*' On three npright panels
above is a figure of St. Andrew, between St. Peter on one side
and St. Paul on the other, hut much obscured by time and
ne^jlect.

There is now placed within this chapel a low altar tomh —
of the latter part of the fifteenth century — 5 feet long and 2
feet 5 inchea wide, which, previous to its removal at the late
"restoration," iit&yd against the wall, towards the eastern
auglc of the north side of the choir. The base and eomice
wliich support the cover have simple niouldinge, and there is
no other feature about it, except that at the west end of the
Buuth Bide is an armoiiail shield, bearing the letters R. L. in
saltirCj and most probably appropriating this as the tomb of
Prior Lesobman. A3 it has neither base uOr Cornice on the
south aide, we may conclude that the end which now faces the
west, at that time was turned towards the east.

Upon this tomb rests the mouumeutal effigy traditionally
aaid to represent " Prior Richard." In Wright's plate of " the
Shi*ine" (History, p. 78) this figure is shewn lying in front of
it, on the south side, and on a alah, which never could have
been intended to represent the tomb just described; and in a
plan of the pews, taken in 1830, it ia introduced on the same
Bite; but I have been told that some time after, when the choir
was re-pewed, it was removed and placed upon the monument
ou which it now rests, When Hutchinson ■»-iBlted Heihamj
in 1776, it would appear that both the monuments were
placed aa they are now. "Within the choir," he writes, "is
the recumbent effigy of an eccleaiastio, hooded, on a table
monument of black marble (wliich the present is wot) in relief;

will then appear to he the letters r i placed one over the other.'"
But, whatever changes may have been made in the relative
positions of these monuments, it appears evident to me, unless
the work had been erected, at first, in a, moat unusual and un-
skilful maimer, that the eflBgy never formed any portion of the
altar tomb onginally; for not only is the latter complete in all
its component parts, and properly flnighed by the slab above the
cornice, but the lower surface of the slab on which the effigy
rests is disproportionately larger than the upper Eiirfac'e of the
tomb, and has its own proper cornice and set of mouldings,
of a more ornamental character, around its aides and end;
whereas the altar-tomb has been originally placed against a
wall, and on that side ia wholly unadorned. It is. to be ob-
served that the crenellated portion of the moulding around the
bed of the effigy appears only on the west and south sides,
Buggeating the idea that thc&e were the portions of it originally
the most exposed to ■view. Mr. Wright, speaking of tliia efSgy,
says (p. 90), ia the year 1833 it stood ■" exactly in front of the
shrine on the north side of the centre aisle of the choir, Tfiia
was not ita oriffinal situation. It uow covers another tomb, on
which it reeta, and this impropriety of place has caused much
confusion in the accounts respecting it." Unless, also, " the re-
cumbent effigy of an ecclesiastic hooded," whi&h Mr. Hutchinson
saw, " immediately adjoining" the shrine, was one which is now
destroyed, — a thing extremely improbable,— -he must have seen
the figure now under consideration in a detached form. For in
speaking of the tomb at the we^t end of the north aisle of the
choir, then presumed to he that of Alfwold, king of North-
umberland, he aaya, " I measured an e^gy which (aye near ih'ia
tomb, aud found it answenTig exactly in length. Tfie tffiifj/

represents an ecclesiastic vnth lii» hood ihroum back to his fore-
head, his haud$ elevated, and robed to the feet; the folds of
the drapery thrown into excellent order, easy and ele-gant."
Whether Mr. Hutcbinson has fallen into confusion in making
the two statements I have quoted or not, he evidently had
considered that the effigy last mentionedj which corresponds
exactly with that now under review, was not then placed iu its
original position.

There stood "near the altar" in the year 1776, and until
recently, an uncouth statue of a man in an erect posture, about
3 feet 8 inches high, now removed into the aisle of the north
tranBcpt. He is represented as wearing a long coat, buttoned
in front firom the neck to the waist, having three coils or clumsy
ligatures of what may have been intended for hay or straw
hand rouud his ancles ; and he holds e)'ect vitli both hands a staff
or club as tall as hioiaelfj expanding- to a large knot at the
upper end. His cap is like that which appears on one of the
figures on the south side of the chapel just described. The
stone out of which the figure is carved is i-ough and undressed
on its right hand side, as if that part had jutued a wall or other
masonry. The opposite side retains two iron hooks, the points
of each beut in a different direction, and is ornamented with an
incised panel nith a aemi-circul ar head of precisely similar
design to that which — aa previously alluded to — appears on
what waa once the eastern jamb of the doorway leading into
this chapel; suggesting the idea that this figure may have been
connected with the eastern end of that enclosure, wliich has
been long since removed. Mr. Pennant, in hia Tour in Scotland,
made in the year 1772, in allusion to this statue, says, "Against
a pillar is a ridiculous figure of a bai'efooted mau with a great
club : perhaps a pilgrira." Upon which Mr. Hutchinson, four
years after, remarks, " It in nowise represents a pilgrim ; he
carries no scrip, and weart* a cap or helmet ;" and afterwards
says, " This, I apprehend, is the figure of Pan. It is reason-
able to conjecture that they," — that is, this and the figures iu

ceiving the " evident identity "" of the fign^re " with the other

an offieer of justice, with his staff and plume, his feet bftred
and manacled, to ebeiv that within the bounds of sanctuary Le
dared not move towards hia design, and that there his authority
availed him not. This figure is placed within a short distance
of the stool of peace."

Beyond the highest limit to which living memory can
extend, and moat probably for sis centurieB more, tliat most
venerable monument of antiquity, the weU-known Frith-stool
of Hesham, used before the Reformation for the unasaadabla
security of persons seeking the sanctuary of the church,
occnpicd a position immediately in front of the last pillar, east-
ward, on the north aide of the choir, its face being' turned
towards tte south. Soon after the year 1830, however^ when
the cburch was re-pewed, neither the unusual local intereet
wliich attached to it, nor the fact of its being an almost unique
example of its kiad, could preserve it from removal into the
north aiale, immediately behind the pillar in front of which it
had previously stood. Hence it was again recently removed,
and placed, where it now stauda, in the aisle of tlie south
transept, at the angle of its junction with the contiguous, aisle
of the choir. At some distance it has the appearance of a
cnbical block of atone, out of which a seat has been heivn ; but,
on closer examination, it will be found to be composed of the
stone which contains the sedile, of very close grit, and three
stones below of somewhat eofirser material. The whole block
is 2 feet 74 inches long, 1 foot 9 inches wide, or firom back to
front, and 1 foot LO inches high. The plan or section of the
seat resembles the vertical elevation of an elliptically- headed
areb. The upper surface, on which the elbows of a person sit-
ting in the chair would rest, is decorated, on each side, by an

Saxoii knot of pointed trefoil shape. Inclosing this desi^,
round the oiit«r margin of the surface, and continued round
that of the concarity of the aeat, are incised parallel Lines,
f^iving the idea of a slightly headed moulding ; and lines of a
similar kind fullow the maTgiit of the simple elevation in front.
According to a plate shewing the horizontal and Tcrtical faces
of the Frith-stool, in the Sancttmrium Dwiielmense et Sanc-
tuanum Beverlacense, published by tlie Surtees Society in the
year 1837", it appears that either then, or at some previous
period TV-lien the drawing was made, a large concave moulding
or cornice intervened between the sedile and its base, apparently
of Perpendiculaj or Tudor character, and the base appears to
have been formed of one stone. Be ttia as it nsayj I think it
is questionable ivhethcr, in the original design, the lines of the
ornamentation in front were not prolonged into another vertical
stone below and returned at its base. I may remark here,
more for the aake of fiiture enquiry tlian otherwiae, that ou the
sloping side of the elbow on the north aide of the chair I fan-
cied I could feel some incised letters, perhapa, after all, of no
moment ; which, in consequence of the darlc situation, I was

this is the cathedra of the Saxon bifihopa of Hexham.'

Until the recent " re eto ration,-" a couaiderable space below
the third arch from the last, on the south aide of the choir,
was occupied by a chantry chapel, whicli was always kiLown by
tha name of " the Lord of the Manor's pew/' until the dis-
covery of the armorial cresceuta of the Oyle family upon it
gave it the name of "the Og!c ghrine." From a drawing
of It, made by Mr. Fairlesa, before it was riithlcByly destroyed,
it appears that it was of the same Tudor atyle as charac-
tenaed the rest of the old woodwork of the choir. The eleva-
tion OB the north side remained much less perfect than on. the
Kouth, but both bad presented a base of sis panels, merely
divided by strips without tracery, upon -wbich stood as many
detached shafts with ogee heads and plain tracery in the »pan-
drila. Above this was a cornice, returned at the wcat end,
enriched with qnatrrfoils, as were the beam -which divided the
panplb'd basement from the lattices, and the outer faces of those
which supported the east end. The 'chapel ia not r&membered
to have retained its altar, but on etripping off the baize from
the pew, before its demolition, a fine trypticli which had sur-
mounted it was discovered; the removal of wldch from the
ehureli, as " old materials," was the subject of much indignant
comment in the jnnmals at the time. It is thus described in
the public prints of the day :— " This interesting relie," says
the writer, "is a tryptich of the fifteenth century. It has a
massive frame of oak, 4 feet 3 inches by 6 feet 6 inches, of the
same character of moidding and carving as the aereenwork
empaling the shnnc. The three panels of the picture arc of an
uniform size — 1 foot 10 iuches by 3 feet 8 inches, and the sub-
jects in each are confined within, an outline of a vesica forra,
and enriched with diapered backgroundp. The centre compart-
ment represents Christ in the act of rising from the tomb, the

compartment to the left of this contain* a full-length figm-e of
tlie Virgin holding the Infant Christ on one arm, and a sceptre,
annotmeing her sovereignty aa Queen of Heaven, in the other
hand. The nimbus of this figure is also in high relief, and is
more elaborate in design than that upon the head of Christ. A
raised nimbus surrounds the head of the Infant, and the eccptre
is richly ornamented in relief. The robe of the Virgin is of a
crimson colour, and has a small geometrical pattern upon it.
It is fastened upon the breast with a row of embossed eiasp
ornaments. Over the armj on which she holds the Cliildj and
below her M-aist, falls a piece of amber-toned drapery covered
with fleure-de-lys. Thia figure is siirrounded by a double border
of golden raya following the same vesica outline, behind which
the background is diapered with starry circles. The third oom-

moiiUled styles, wreathed with labels of divers colours, but
apparently without inscriptions. It ia of the same date as the
rest of the ancieiLt woodwork of the choir, and lias been painted
ttrougliout, like the coseval rood-screen. Each panel contains
a full-length figure of a Sainted personage, about two feet high.
Some of them, have been designated by inscriptions, as in the
unneceasary instance of St. Peter, but they are all nearly worn
out, or so obscured, like the symbols which many of the figures
bear, as to be illegible, witliont cleaning or the application of a.
powerful artificial light. Like the other paintings I have pre-
viously mentioned, and others about to be described, tbelr
execution is not of mder character than might be expected fi'oin
their age ; but they appear to me to be of considerable value
for the illustration of English art, particularly as praetised in
tte religiouH houses, at the close of tbe fifteenth century. For
although, it is hardly within the verge of probability that they
may not have been produced by English artists, or independent
of any foreign feeling, still at least it is infinitely more probable
ttat this should he so in tbe ease of a large seriea of bulky
objects of this connected character, than in that of many de-
taehed and portable pictures of a aimilar date, of the purpose
and origin of which we can know nothing, neither whence they
may have been imported. The panel in front of the de
represents our Blessed Lord holding a croas and pendent'
strcamerj and elevating His hand in the act of benediction.
The nest to it, on the north, has a pictiu-e of the Virgin Mary
with our Saviour in her arms. The interstices between the
tracery of all tbe panels have been coloured alternately red and
green, like similar work on the rood-screen.

At the time when Mr, Hodgson wrote, there were placed
"over the Litany desk full-length portraits of the Saints
Wilfirid, Jolm of Beverley, Aeea, Fiidbert, Gilfrid, Alcmund,
and Eata, with this inscription above their beads, ' Ftmdatofeg,
hujtis loci.' " I presume Hutchinson" had previously alluded

to tlicBO pictures when he indulged iu the singular observation,
" TliErc are some grirn and lion-iikc Saints painted in tLc aisles,
among whom stands St. John of Beverley, of hideous aspeot."
Mr. "Wright* says that, in the year 1823j they were "more
advantageously disposed above the screen." Bccently, they
have been placed — for they are iin two divisions — iu what we
hope is only a temporary position, one reared before the other,
at the west side of the north tranBept, where the foremost of
them can only be conveniently examiuedj though probably they
are objects unique of their kind. It is a wooden tablet between
eight and nine feet square^ framed of oak boards, enclosed ou
the aides and at the top in a frame, of which the concave
moulding, inclining inwards, ia enriched with quatrcfoilsj whilst
at the front of it is a sleuder pinnacled buttresBj to which a
lower one of "flying" character ia attached. The superficial
surface is occupied throughout by a very curious paintiagj
divided by pitmacled and staged buttress strips or etylea into
four corapartuieiits, each 4 feet 9 inches high and 1 foot 10
inches wide, and surmounted hy a light and elegant &emi-
hexagonal ogee-headed canopy of wood, the fiidal of which rises
to the upper cornice or frame of the tablet. The subjects
below, executed in the time of King Henry VII., and in excel-
lent state of presen-ation as regards desigu and colour, represent
four full-length figures of aa many bishops of Hexham. The
first, mitred and nimbed, wearing the pall and holding a crosier
or cross staff, may be supposed to represent St. Wilfrid. The
refit are nimbed and all bear staves, hut the heads are not
clearly discernible thi'ongh the coating of dirt. I was itifoimed
that the spandrila between the heads of the canopies contain
the armorial insignia usually assigned in the middle ages to the
prelates represented below, and that the name of each waa
inscribed below t!ie bracket, at hia feet, but the imperfect light
which reaches thh part of the church did not enable mc to trace
the one, nor the position of the tablet to sec the other. These

brackets are of «emi-octagooal form, and of Bimilar width and
pTOJection as the canopiea above, and perhap3j on particular
occafiioiu, may have supported lights. Behind this tablet is
placed another of precisely similar design, but of three com-
partmcnta only. In tlicir original poaition, they do not seem
to have been joined closely together, bo as to form a eoutinuous
subject ; for the outer transverse face of each side of the frames
is orDamented with the quatrefoil moulding ; a fact which also
BUggeets that they have been placed, at first, like ordinary
pictures^ agaiiiat the face of a wall, and not inserted between
pillars or other masonry ; in which case the outer margin would
have been left plain, to join the stonework, Mr. Fairlcsa wae
told, long ago, by an old man whose recollection extended
beyond the period when Hutchinson wrote, that he remem-
berod the^e pictures to have stood near the east end of the
choir. It is a somewhat singular circumatance with reference to
the period when they were executed, and the church where they
were exhibited, that, at the very time, Huby, abhat of Foun-
tains, in rebuilding a portion of the church which had been
erected hy the founder of Hexham at Ripon, introduced aeeries
of inscriptions comuisnioratiiig the sainted persona who had
been monks in that monastery in Saxon times, — St. Cuthbert,
St. Eata, St. Wilfrid, and St. Willebrord, two of whom are
depicted in these tablets at Hexham.

The whole of the ancient sepulchral monuments in the choir,
whether raised above the floor or forming a portion of it, have
been either ruthlessly destroyed, or removed to another part of
the church. Mr. Wallis,'' speaking of this church in his Anti-
quities of Northumberland, published in 1769, observes, " The
floor is mostly covered with ancient gravestones. Many have
been inlaid with brass, and othera with croziers. They are very
entire after they have been trod underfoot for ao many ages ;"
and Mr. Wright,' even bo recently as the year 1823, tells us
that "the floor of the ehui-ch is flagged with stones, at one

funeral monnmcntB foundwithin our churches, and these appear
to have been numerous in Hexham j but whpt remains of them
amouuts to little more than nothing." The " oldest" of theacj
as he conjectured, waa then " viaible in the floor of b pewj at a
short distance from the organ loft, raised a little from the
common floor— long, flatj and cofQu-shapedj in length 6 feet,
in breadth 2^ feet, divided longitudinallj by a deep cut. On
the left side of this division is a cross fleury -withgut a shield,
horder, or any ornament. The inscription is between two amoll
croaBcs in one line along the opposite eide of the division^ and
announces aimply that + JOH'3. MALeRBe JACGT HIC."
This stone is now placed in the al&le of the north transept.
Mr. AV right goes on to say, " In the south aiale of the choir
aa-e two table monuments. From one the effigy has been re-
moved ; and on the other ia the recumbent figure of a knight of
the holy banner — supposed to be a member of the baronial
family of Umframville." When Dr, Johnston of Pontefract
visited Hexham, about two hundred years ago, he found this
monument ia tlie same aisle, so that probably this was its
original position, According to Hutchinson-'s account, the
particular spot where it stood was a little above the inlaid slab
of Sir Robert Ogle. It is now laid, without any base of
masonry, in the aisle of the north transept. The head of the
effig'y rests on two cuahionSj the one placed like a lozenge on a
square, without supporters. The lower part of the crossed legs
is broken ofl', and there is no trace of an animal or other object
againat which they may have rested; in fact the requisite space
does not seem to he afforded. There is nothing peculiar ahout
the costume, which eshibita a suite of link mail, partially covered
with a sleeveless surcoat strapped round the waist. The sword
is suspended from an undeeorated belt, and the shield, which
has a narrow gdigc, is charged, in reli&f, with a cinqucfoil, 6ur-

rounded by a niimbor of crosses much batterer!, hut it is to be
remarked tliat oiiewhich remains uninjured is not a cross croas-
hi, ae aubsequently "borne in the arms of Umfreville, but a.
cross jiatee. In Ralph Brooke's" Catalogue and Succession,
etc., he blazons the arma of Gilbert llinfre\illc, earl of
Angus, lord of Prudhoc, Ottcrbumc, Harbotle, and Redesdale,
whom this effigy probably commemorates, "Gueulles a une
quinkfoUe, & le chamjje croise le patee d'or;" and iu a Roll of
Arms, of the time of Edward tlie Tliirdj " Le Contc de Angcsse
jiorte de gonlcB ove irn quintefoil d'or et croiesletz d'or." The
eiBgy rests on a slab, the chamfer of which ia decorated on the
south or right side with two semi-glohular objects at the upper,
and two at the lower end, hut so much worn down as not to be
positively identified with the " ball flower ornament," At the
Cast end of it is the crouching tigure of a dog ; the rest of the
deeign, if any, being lost, through a comer of the slab having
been broken oflF. On the chamfer, at the head of the stone, are
three objects, but only one, apparently a dog with something
before its month, is tolerably well defined. In a particular
light, another seems like a squirrel with a sprig of foliage. On
that on the left-hand side of the figure are three auiraaU, pro-
bably dogs or wolves — for their present situation close to the
wall of the aisle forbida an accurate examination by the eye.
This chamfered slab rests on another boldly embattled, but at
the headj foot, and right side only^ as if the figure had originally
been placed against &ome object on the north side. It is, I
think, extremely probable that these auimale introduced on the
chamfer may have allusion to a very peculiar tenure, by wbich
the Umfrevillca held lands, in grand scrjcanty, of the Crown.
Madoi in his Bai-ouia Anglica, p. 244, says that the eastle of
Harbotle and the manor of Ottcrburue were held of the king,
in eapite, by Robert Unifi'e\ille, in 1128, by the service of
keeping the valley of Redesdale free from wolves and robbers.

by Mr, Wrightj Traa supposed by him with great probabiiity to
have been originally occupied by an " effigy of superior work-
manship, repreaenting a lady;" which, in his time, was placed
not faj- from " Prior Riehard'a shrine," but now near the tomb
of Umfreville, in the north trauBept. The head, which reat4
upon a. large rectangular cushion without supporters, is attired
witlt a coverchlef ; tlse chin, neckj and ahouldera hcuig enveloped
in one of those wimples or gorg-cts which provoked the satirical
poets of the time of Edward the First. The body ia enveloped
in a, loose mantle with tight sleeves, drawn np under the arm-
pits, BO aa to throw the drapery mto very effective folds. The
feet rest against a mutilated animal, pai'tly environed by the
skirt of the robe. There are no data which will enable iia to
conjecture whom the effigy commemoratea.

Another sepulchral memorial remained in the choir in the
year 1823 which cannot now be identified. Mr. Wright says,
" stepping out of the shrine, you tread on a stone sculptured
into a cross hound with garlands. This is hidden by the pews
Upon it and about it.^'

In ooncluding my observations on thia part of the church, I

Dr. Charlton, of Newcastle, has a copper chalice which was
found, a few years ago, in forming tbe warm air flue in the
choir. At the end of the Preface to the Mrst Volume there is
an engraving of a small plate of Bilvec, now in the British
Museum, which came from thia church. It bears tbe figure of
a Saint, and Is of a vei^ early date. I have reason to believe
that many other relics have been discovered within the Priory
wMch have been, most nnfortunately, diapersed.

The south wing of the transept Eccms to have been, com-
menced very soon after the completion of the choir. In conse-
quence of the passage, which generally occutb in conventual
churches between the outer end of the traitaept and the chapter
house, having been included here within it, the last southern
bay is occupied, in a singular fashion, by a platfonn over the
vaulting' of the passage, rising as high as the pUlara of the east
aisle. It is approached at the west end by a wide stone stair-
case of thirty-two steps, which forma a most picturesque object
from the opposite extremity of the church, and is protected by
a parapet wall that does not slope in the usual manner, but
rises five times vertically, to form horizontal stages, and is

finislicd by a plain coping, with a roll at the apex. Umler tl](
ataircaae arc four recesses, or cloeeta; the higlicst aiid largest
has a Beml-circulax head ; the next one of elliptical form ; those
of the lowest hciug flat. From the west end of the platform
access is obtained to a geometrical staircase communicating
with the contigiioua triforium and clefeetoryj and, tliroogh them,
with the tower. At the oppoaitc end of it a rudely- formed door-
way admits ua into a chamber, measuring ahout twelve feet by ten
feet, -nith a barrel-vault dirided by a single transverse rib. It
is lighted by two very narrow, eiinare-headed openingSj which
apparently have never been tilled with glass, unless it hung in
in a frame upon crooks, which stiil remains in one of the lights.
It is not kni>wn, traditiouiiUy or otherwise, to what uae it was
anciently applied; hut it may not be a very improbable con-
jecture that it waa used as a Hanctuary chamher.

The introduction of the platform curtails the lower portion
of the east side of the transept within three haysj wliilst the
trifarium and clerestory have four. The pillars that divide it
from the aisle have octagonal hasea, and are formed, like those
of the choir, of eight members, hut have four semi-oetagona]
faces with as many tripled ahafta intervening. The capitals
are merely moulded, and the orders of the arches cbamferedj
without any ornament whatever. The triforium is of the
same general design a? that of the choir, but 19 a little more
advanced in the development of the mouldings, and has only
one pillar to support the suh-archee ; while, in the arrangement
of the triple arcades of the clercstoryj a stilted arch in the
middle supersedes that supported by shaft above shaft. The
fourth bay of the triforium, snrraountiug the entrance to the
supposed sanctuary chamber, contains only two plain lancet
openings. The vaulting shafts dividing the hays, now much
mutilated, have heeu single cylinders above the level of the
capitals of the arcade of the triforium, but B-priug from brackets
in a tripled form below. ^Vliere the string course below the
triforium joins the pier of the tower, is a fragment of another

■with a square face, but wtether of much higlier antiquity^ or
the initiation of a work that was iraincdiatcly discoutiriued,
cannot, perhaps, be determined without the remoTal of the
whitewash. In the latter case, however, there is no apparent
reason why it should have heen retained.

The aisle of this wing of the transept hEia two lancet lights,
like thoae of the choir, but enriched with a convex moulding
"between the nook shaft and the glaas. Triple shafts, with a
fillet in front, resting on moulded bracketsj support the vault-
ing, which has no bosses at the intersection of the groining
ribs. The string course on which the windows stand ia not
prolonged from that of the contiguous aisle of the choir, but
commences, as the other ends, abruptly at the angle, with a
ditferciit section, and at a rather higher level. The manner in
wliich the junction of the vaulting of this aisle with that of the
choir was effected is worthy of examination. The last bay, at
the south endj is now enclosed for a vestry ; and, judging from
the uumoulded extremities, it would seem that the lattice on
the north side is in its old position. It is of Tudor date, aud
has nine compai'tTuents, divided by neatly panelled mullions or
styles, with tall pinnaclea.

Where the passage of the triforium crosses the south end of
the transept it is lighted from the church by two groupes of
lancet-headed opcuiugs, the middle arch being wider than that
on each side and stilted. The triple supporting shafts have
filleta in front, and, in the eastern gronpe, the nail-head onia-.
ment appears between the reeds of tlie shafts. In the cleres-
tory are three tall lancet lights, the central one higher than the
rest; the interveniug narrow panels, recessed for about half
their height, being- supported by triple shafts.

The basement- story of the west side of the transept is
engaged by tic staircase before mentioned, at the base of which
a lofty doorway once opened into the cloister. It seems to have
been the original intention of the architect to build the tri-
forium after the same design as that of the south end, as shewn

by the arch which joins it, but he afterwards chfknged his plan.
It dOw presGiita ibur laacet lights, hetwecn vrliich are three
lancet-headed openings of inferior height. Like thoae enclosing
the windowsj they have a plain hood moulding:, and their inrpoat
moiddings are prolonged to the jambs of the arches between
which they are placed.

The clerestory ia composed of four bays, each lancet light
appearing in the middle of an arcade of three members, tlioae
on each side being lower and narrower, but all much stilted
above the capitals of the shafts. Itis part of the church retains
its old roof, of the same date and character as that of the choir,
but the bosses are more effective, being not bo flat.

Sis interesting monumental slabs ai'c now preserved in the
south transcptj aU of them disinterred within the last few years,
having: been found on the south side of the church. One of
them, engraved in the Journal of the ArchsologicaJ Institute,
vol. v., p. 257, is in as perfect condition aa when it left the
hand of the mason. It has an Early English moulding round
the margin, and is iuacrihed 4- HIC ; JACei MATILDA :

incised after the final word. The other stones are of ruder
character, but they merit perpetuation by the graver, aa valu-
able examples of incised liongobardic letters of the thirteenth
Century. They taper but slightly from head to foot, and three
of them have plain margins; another is beaded slightly. All

In comiiai'iaon vTith the south wiug of tLe tracaept, tlie
northern one shews much progression in style, together with
some alteratioua Iq the design. On the west sLde^ the base-
ment, — with the exception of the space occupied by the arch,
which once opened into the aisle of the nave,— is enriched by a
deeply-recessed trefoil-headed arcadcj of which the shafts and
hasea with the bench-tahle are destroyed, if the latter is not
concealed below the modern fioor. The spandrils are filled
with plain recessed qnatrefoilsj helow each of which a smaller
quatrefoil of foliage is embossed. TLe pier of the archway,
once opening into the nave aisle, which ilanka this arcade,
is of the same date, hut the opposite one appears to be of the
later date of the west side of the tower, into which it is
honded. Over this arch are three blank nichesj standing on a
string course. The triforiuni is lighted by three tall lancets,
appearing under an arcade of BCTcn members, bo that the cen-
tral one is flanhed on each aide hy a donble recess of little less
altitude, but much less width. The shafts by which they are
supported rise no higher than the ceCing of the pathway,
causing^, therefore^ the interveution of a vertical and unmonlded
space between their capitals and the imposts of the arches, of
such con&idcrable altitude that the latter can hardly come within
the denomination of being "stilted." The clerestory — similar
in character to that of the west aide of the opposite wing, save
that the mouldings are much holder and more effective — -is
composed of four bays; the opening for the windows in those at
the estremitieg being flanked only by one arch, the reat by two.
A continuation of the ai-caded basement ornaments the
north face of the transept. Above are three tall and uaaTow
lancet lights, ranging with those on the west side, but divided
by triple and handed shafts. They have a monlding at the
angle of the jamb, and another next the glass ; and the passage
that traverses their sills ends abruptly, and does not pass into
the triforium on the east aide, which is at a much higher levdj
and is approached by a staircase descending from the clerestory.

the same niGmber of the east side of the south transept and of
the choir, the triforium exhihits four large, wide, semi-cii-cular-
headed openings, hut much i-icht-r in the rcdaphcation of the
moiddlng's ; and the two pointed siib-arches of each are enriched
with dog-tooth raouldinySj their shafts being tripled and finished
with octagonal capitals. The vaulting shafte, abo, are tripled,
and spring from beantiiuUy foliated bosses. The clerestoiy
resembles that of the west side of the Bouth transept, and the
roof that of the opposite wing.

Ill the aisle, the head of the basement arcade oceiu^ at a
lower level than on the other eidea. It has been highly deco-
rated in the spandrilg by Bculptured foliage, and probably other
subjects, much of irliich has been barbarously and wantonly
hewn away, and the rest choked with linaewasli. The support-
ing shafts are single cylindrical columns. There are three
small lancet lights towards the east, moulded at the margin of
the jarah, and another towarda the north, hut with a trefoil
head within, formed by shouldering the arch. The vaulted
roof has riba of several reeds, and bosses of foliage of slight
convexityj that may have suggested the section of those on the
Tudor roofs of the choir and transept ; the shafts resting on
beautifully designed braekets, Tlie aisle haa formerly been
di\ided— probably soon after it was built — into three chapels,
the brackets for Btatues still remaining. On* at the south end,
introduced by Prior Leschman, hears his initials disposed in the
form of St, Andrew's cross, as occurs in other iuataaces before
mentioned.

Between the end of this aisle and the eontiguoua aisle of
the choir is a tomb filling the whole space between the pier and
the wall. The masonry of the base supports a slab incised
with a croMj elegantly adorned with vine leaves, engraved in
the first volume of this wo]'k, page 3G. It ia canopied by a low
elliptical-headed arch of the Decorated style, with a continuous
impost, havhig a bracket for a statue on the west aide, towards
the north, and one at each side of the jamb, towards the south.

The top of the tomb is. coped liorizoiitallyj with a panelled pro-
jeetion in the centre of eaeh diagonal face^ whieli may have
supported a figure. A century ago, ae it would appear from
HutchinBoii's accountj tluB waa supposed to be the tomb of
ElfwaJd, king of North umbria, who ivas alain. in 788, and
buried — "cum niagno hoQore " — in the church of St. Andrew
of Hesham. I regard this, Lowevor, as a mere baseless coiijee-
tnve. For, if the eanoua of Hexham, at the memorable traos-
lation of the relics of their chtircli iu the year llo4, paid no
especial mark of respect — aa we may infer from the silence of
Aclrcd, wlio chi-onicled tlie ceremony — to the remains of King
Elfwald, over the place of whose murder they were told that
a, ''mysterious light was seen to hover aiid to shine," and
even a church was huilt; it is very difficult to imagine what
was the nature of the impulse which could iuduce their aucces-
sora, or, indeed^ any person, to prefer his commemoration toJ
that of any of the aaiated persons that are resting; here, and to
have erected such a monument after he had moiddered in his
grave between five and six hundred years. Moreover, if
Camden, when he made his survey in the time of Queen Eliza-
hethf aud in earnest scai'ch of historical monuments, never
noted such a auppositiou, while he recorded tlie pre.seuce of the
effigy of Umfrevillc, aud even ila cross-legged position and
charged sliield, it is fair to infer that it has arisen in subsequent
timea. Dr. Johnston, also, who visited ilie church about two
centuries ago, makes no mention of it.

At the north end of this aisle, a cross-legged effigy is now
laid ou the floor, which, moat likely, lias occupied this or an
adjitcent site at least for a similar period, for Dr. Johnston
observers, " In the north cross of the conventuall, now the paro-
chiall church of Hexham, lyith this ethgie with a free stone,"
the same being identified by the armorial bearings on the shield
-=-a feat* charged irith three garbs. When Mr. Hutcliinsna saw
it in 1776, it was " in a pait behind the north door;" and Mr.
Wright reports it, in 1823, as being "near the north door, Wi

moved from its table." The head, which rests on a rectangular
cushion without sapportea-a, is attirei in a round-topped mail
hood, hound with a fillet, aud overlying the supcoat. The body
ia Tested in a suite of mail, covered with a. eleeveleas surcoat,
fastened i-oiiud the waist by a etrap, which contracts the plaits
below 8-0 as to appear like a row of fiisila; the hands are ele-
vated in prayer. A large shield, on which the fesa is sunk so
that the face of the three garbs with which it is charged is on a
plane with the fieldj is snspended by a guige over his right
shouldei". Tlie sword belt is embossed with large mund plates.
One of the crossed legs is broken off, hut the otheij armed
with a spur, rests against a couchaut lion. Judging^ from " his
shield ur hearingj a feese azure with three garbs proper," though
no colour is now visible ou it, Mr. Hutehiueon conjectured*
that this effi^ commemorates " one of the Aydena of Ayden
Castle,"— about five miles tiorth-eaat of Heshiim — " the anna
assumed by the Edcns of the north at thie day being greatly
aiinilar." And he goes on to say that " the male line of the
family waa extinct in Edward the Pii'st's time ; and Emma, the
heiress and reliet of that family, was by bini, na a royal ward,
given in marriage to Wallis." The Testa de Nevill has men-
tion only of Geotfrey de Ayden, as tenant of a caincate of land
in Whelpingtou, within the barony of Umfreville." I do not
remember to have seen any ancient roO of arms that confirms
Mr. Hutchinson's assignation of the heraldic charge on the
shield, but until the subject can be efi'ectiially investigated, it may
be remembered that, in Somerset Glover'e Roll, the barou of Tin-
dale is said to bear the singular coat. Argent, on a fess or, three
garbs sable— and that he resided at Langley Castle, above six
miles west of nexham. This barony was held by the family of
Tindale until about the year 1233, when it appears from the

and co-beit'esa of Adam de Tindale, paid twenty marks for his
relief, and for obtaiiiiDg scisiu of her eatates. I think that
the effigy represents this Nicholas Bolteby, who died in the
last year of the reign of Henry III., a period to -which the
costume of the figure may be assigned. Be this as it may,
I need BC&rcely add that Mr. Walli* was obviously mistaken
in supposing this effigy to represent the duke of Somerset,
who was beheaded after the battle of Hexham, in li&t^ al-
though, ]>prhftps, it had been ao reported for several genera-
tions before Lis time ; for in " A Relation of a Short Survey
of Twcnty-Bix Northern Counties/ made by three Norwich
soldiers," in the year 1634., they said that, in this church
"much defaced and decay'd, and now uiiseamely kept,'" is the
mouuraeut " of a Duke that was elain in a battle against the
Scotta."

In Mr. Wallis'a account of this clmi'ch, puL]is.hed in the
year 1769, he says that, " near the north door on the right hand
is a flat funeral atone, very ancient. It has a crozier upon it,
and this inscription — Hic jacet Thomas de Dbvilstonb."*
Mr. Hiitchiuaon also noticed it " iu the pavement of the cross
aisle," together with " another with a crosier aud chaliecj in-
scribed 'Johannes Dew,' with the usual legendary prayer in the
margin — Ofate pro anivia,"^ etc. But both the stones were
missing in 1833.'" It is possible that both theae topographers
may have mistaken some other object for a ci"oaier. At all
events., there is no such person aa Thomas de Devilstone on the
list of the Priors of Hexham, and, if he had held that high
office, it would have been recorded on his gravestone. Tlie
other stone, wliich, as Hutchinson tells na," was " inscribed in
very rude characters, Hic jacet Johes dew" etc., may possibly

in the year 1358."

There are now preserved in the north transept several de-
tached moimnients of considerable iiitcrcat which Uave been
found within late years in or ahout the church. Of these the
most ancient is part of the head of a Sason cross. On one
side ft bo89 in the centre is surrounded with au interlaced scroll,
on the other the scroll appears without the boss. The edge
around is left plain, hut a fragment of the shaft attached to the
lower arm shews that it has been decorated with scroll work,
and there are traces of an inscriptiou. A delineation of this
relic irill be found on p. xxxi, no. 3.

Of later date ia a fragment of a ridged tonih representing

stone basin like that of a font, apparently of Early English
date. It lias been supported lay a, circular ehaft, and may have
been used as a holy-water atoup in some part of the conventual
church.

I may mention also that in the west wall of this transept,
within the basement, an iron staple remains, fixed, with a fetter-
lock attached, but for what purpose it has been used I have
not ascertained. Probably, during the conftiBion of the civil
war of the seventeenth century, prisoners may have been eome-
timea kept in durance here, for a temporary period.

The central tower has been apparently erected after the
completion of tlie choir and both wings of the transept, and on
the site of one which covered the same area. Each face of its
semi-piers ia composed of five serai -circular shafts with plain
capitalB, and an abacua of the eeime form above the whole; the
basea, like thoae of the pillars on the east side of the transept,
being nearly bui-ied by an elevation of tlie floor, which detracts
much from the effect of this part of the church. On ita eastern
side, they appear to have been inserted, and are partly detached
from the walls of the choir and transept ; and fi-om the abrupt
disconnection of the base of the hood moulding above the
western a,rch from that on the north, it may be assumed that
all the sidea have not beencarried up at once. It will be ob-
served also that the archivolt above the rood-sicreen is more
richly moulded than the rest.

EiLmericB of wainscot full of booka;" and the same kind of
art'imgement existed at Foimtaina. At the west end of the wall,
a doorway with good perpendicidar mouldings has afforded an
immediate passage between the quadi'angle and the area of the
mined nave.

The chapter-house, though a roofleae ruin, remains in better
couditiun than might liaye teen expected ; for, after having
suffered successive injuries through the unseemly puiposea to
which it has been appliedj "to such base uaea" did it "coma

slaaghter-houae. Fortunately, however, m yet it has escaped a
projected "restoration." It ia immediately adjacent to the
south face of the trauseptj the passage which usually intervenes
in conventual churches having, as before explained, been in-
cluded within the church. It does not aasamc an octagonal
form, like the chapter-houses of the canons of Bolton-iii -Craven,
Thornton -ou-Humber, and probably of Bridlington, &ince we
are told the latter waa "coveryd with lede spere facyon;"" but
is a parallelogram, like that in the same style which must have
been among the glories of Kirkham. Until, however, the sites
of many of the Augnatiniau Priories are relieved of the rubbish
which must conceal many monuments of antiquity, it will be
useless to speculate whether the octagonal form was adopted by
a resolution of the Chapter-Creueral, or otlierwise. It has been

their masonry being liondet!; ami was approached from the
eastern alley of the cloister tlirough a lofty pointed doorway,
decorated with dog-tuoth work, and flanked on each side by a
lancet-headed window, or rather opening, which Las never con-
tained glass. It vr-M probal)ly covered with drapery in the form
of a ciirtain. The same arrangement may be seen at Kirkstall
abbey, and probably once existed in many monasteries. The
outer face of each of these openings — ^the jambs and bases of
which are much fractured — waa perhaps^ originally, diiided by
a mullioit into two of similar form; for that arrangement
occurred in the interior, in consequence of the shaft of the
arcade nnder the bay in which the opening was enclosed, stand-
ing in front of it. The apartment was divided into three aisles
by two pillars on each side, which have been broken down, to-
gether with the vaulting which they supported. Each of the
bays not occupied by the doorways was aubdividcd by shafts into
two lancet-headed panels, the base of the arcade forming a seat.
The east end, Uke the west, has a doorway placed between two
openings, and as the wall of the transept extends beyond it on
tlie north, and that of a cnntignous building ca of equal leugthj
there liaa not been a glazed window in the place. I eoujecture,
Jiowevcr, that what now rem.aiiiii is but the vestibule to the
chapter- house, though it may have served as such since the
burning of the church in 1396, when, or at some subsequent
period, it would appear that the eastern portion has been broken
down. For, it must be observed that, not only both the esterior
and the interior faces of the eastern end are arcsded and
benched, but both the arcade and bench appear to liaTe returned
and extended at least as far as the end of the aisle of the
transept. A few inches only of the bench table on the north
side, indeed, remain J but its plinth, projeeting slightly from
the wall, may be traced throughout. And n.^ the masonry

vaulting, tbougJi apparently not in the same condition as when

transept wall as formed its northern side was rcfaced, and left
da ive see it now. It ia evident, also, from the fractured south-
east ang'le of the buildingj that the southern wall has been
prolougedj but how fai', the removal of a heap of nibbish
alone may shew. There appears, however, to be a thick wall
embedded in itj of what date is not evideut, running cast and
west at a few yards' distance from the present termination of
the ruin.

Ahc^h^e preeeut portion of the chapter-house has been a
chamber, wfth a. high-pitched roof, that encroached on the
central light of tbe transept. It was approached from the plat-
form at the south end of that member of the chiorch; and
BOme portion of it, if not the whole, may have been used as a
Bacriety for the preservation of the sacred veaaela and the veat-
menta, and many other purposea connected with the religions
serviceH of the convent.

On the south side of the chapter- house has been a large
vaulted apartment, divided by a row of four columnfl, with n
recess in tbe western wall. It has apparently had no cOTDian-
nieation with the cloister, and, perhaps, may have been used as a
cellar, or for the reception of stores. The auperatructure, no
douht^ was the dormitory of the canons^ who, had that apart-
ment heen placed elsewheTCj could not, in consequence of the
rteeti-uction of the nave, have descended readily to their noe-
tiirnal services in the chm-eli.

The basement- atory of the modem houaes, which atill de-
fines the western boundary of the cloister, has apparently served
as part of the store-liouses and offices of the Prior's lodgings,
and to have eacaped ruin, from this portion of the monastery

except the mauor-offioe, the refectory, and a small specimen of
the cloiatGrs."" In the year 1823, Mr. Wright obsen-es, "A
tew years ago the walks of the cloister might be traced; and,
within the memory of man, an elegant oratory stood on the
south-east side of tlie garden. Its roof of stone was richly
ornamented, and supported by four lonie columns." After
some unimportant rcraarka, he goes on to say, "the large room
in the present building ia suppo&ed to haYB been the refectory;'*
and tells ua tliat the houBe " was altered and repaired by Sir
Walter Calverley Blackett, Bart., about 1730— burned by
accidentj and entirely rebuilt by T. R. Beaumont, Esq.j — again
burned, and again repaired within these few yewa.**"

It ie to be regretted that the&e accounts are not giveu in
auch particular terras as might have enabled us to have inferred
more clearly the condition of the house within the present century.
It would bave been especially interesting to have known more
about the chapel, and the oratory with the ornamented roof, "sup-
ported by lonie columns." If the latter, however, did actually
exist in this form, and the volute of the capitals wae not mis-
taken for a somewhat similar effect that occnrs in Norman aad

croelcet& and finiala, that divide the compartments, stand on
short columns with beautifully ecidptured capitals, which rest
on fine brackets, projecting like gurgoyles, in the abape of
human and animal forms. Each of these compartments is sub-
divided, hy blank tracery, into two trefoil- headed panela with a
pointed trefoil above each, the rest of the sweep of the aj-eh
being filled with a circle containing a roiuided trefoil ; and the
whole is covered with a triangular head with crockets and

when the house was visited with this calamity. In 1312, the
town of Hexham was burnt in a predatory incursion by Robert
de Brus, and the goods of the Priory having been totally eon-

probable alterations made by owners of the property after the
Suppression, it ia unsafe to pronounce a decided opinion on
appeai-auces that now present themseh'es in the contiguous por-
tion of the Priorj", hut it may be noticed that the very small
fragment of the south aide of the cloister does not bond or
course witb the west^ra wall. And, judging from the truncated
form of the east abaft southward of the lavatory, it would aeem
thiit the aoath wall nnty have been erected before the other, the
shaft being therefore accommodated to a projection above it.
In this fragmentj the jamb of a doorway of the Early Decorated
period occurs, at the heig'ht of ein;Lt courses, but, for the reason
just stated, it e^nnot be positively concluded that it was that of
the Tcfectoiy. In Kirkham Priory, the refectory of the canons
waa entered at tliis point, liaving also a lavatory on the light
band side ; and, like that of the canons of Eaaby, anil of other
houseSj was placed above a basement story, occupied as cellars,
the sides of the apartmenta also being parallel with the conti-
guous alley of the cloister. It is nevertheless uncertain wbetLcr,
in these two cases, the declination of the ground may uot have
influenced the position and elevation.

to be most desirable that what remains of a place which possesses
liistorical aasoeiations — equal certainly to those of any other
church in England — ^hoyld bie properly notefl down. It will he
seen fifom tlie preceding pages that it taa been cruelly dealt
mth. But not, the Editor must guard himself here, in an
ung;cnerous spirit. The coutrihutora ui general, and one family
in particulaj- — the first in importance in the district — were most
ansiona to preserve the characteristics of & building of which the
whole of North limb crl and was justly proud. To secure this
object large euma of money were munificently proTided, It is,
however, yery greatly to be regretted that modern arcLitecta
are so fond of trying to displace by their own work the choicest
remains of Christian antiquity. They ncTer gain by the eon-
trastj and the word "restoration" is now, unhappily, only syno-
nymous With destrtl>ction. In twenty years sCarC&ly one old
church will be left in the whole country.

It is much to he I'cgretted that Hexham did not find an
annalist in the late estimable and kind-hearted historian of
Northumberland. Mr. Hodgson welL knew the grandeur and
the iraportatice of the subject, and he was most anxious to
make himself fully acquainted vrith all its dctaiis. In his last
Tolume he observes in a note, —

" The archives of the see of York hive not, I apprehend, been rfi7i-
fftntf;! searched for materials for the Iiiatifftf 0/ Ike church and franchise
of Jlexhum, I wish some ffenerons antiqufii'ian Bjnrit icoiild spare me
that Iro'ihie,"*

In the ordinary course of the History of Northumberland
Hexham waa the next place that Mr. Hodgson would haye
taken up. His naind waa turned especially towards it when his
health gave way. He was unwilling^ however, to give up so
favourite a theme without a struggle, as is shewn by the follow-
ing extracts from a letter which waa addressed to my father : —

The result of thia letter was that Dr. Haine went to Hesliam
on the Thursday, and the Editor, at that time a boy, Eiccom-
pauied his father, and paid his first visit to Wilfrid's cathedral.
Our stay at Hexliam was but a short one, as we returned to
Durhaoi in the evening; but the Editor well remembers how
much he was impresaed with the architectural features of the
graud old church. Its " rcatoration" was at that time in agita-
tion, and this waa, prohably, one of the reasons of Dr. Raine'is
journey. Tlic following extracts irom a letter addi-esaed by Mr.
Hodgson to the chairmnn of the committee for the " restora-
tiou," have TCference to the proposed work, and shew how the
Btck man's fancy preserved much of its old fire and Bpuit,
althoitgh his memory was at the time dulled, and liis power of
expression enfeebled. They will be read with a melancholy
pleasure by those who knew the amiable writer, when they are
told that Hexham was the place at which his pen dropped from
his gra£p, and that this was, perhaps, One of the last letters that
he wrote on any topographical subject. The committee seem to
have applied to him for information and advice, and, dcliglited
with what was then before him at Hesham,'' he urged the
members to draw up a graphic account of the natural and Mb-
torie gloriea of Hexham and its charclj.

the garden-place, that nature planted far soliive and her joye. When
the Britons began to stixnglken her wulls nnd till her fields, all traces
seem to be lost: that the Hojuana iuilt a station and a temple ken,
teriiltn monuments remain in tablets belotc the fowidationB of her first
Saxon church. Ilislori/ how can begin to tell what poes>/ ceased to sing,
when irar began to build icith stfnie, when nature Jied from the clani; of
iron anns and iron tools. One Roman altar is here, and one iuipenid
tablet, found in 17'25, besides another tahkt, cvt bi/ (he mrtsons who halt
the erupt in its present form ; arid of which chapel Dr. Hunter said to
Mr. Audreios, the lecturer of He^-ham — 'J a.m persuaded i/our church
stands tiponvian'/such vaults.' Another iioiunn inscription Mr. Fairlesa
shewed me in a ruinous part of the chapter -housp, built in the English
Btgle — the translation of it is, ' Being jireaent (or attendant) Flavius
Hifginitia Ike sii^th legion cictoriuiis.'' The inscription is probably onhj a
fragmmt. — Of the Saxon church, I traitsliiled Richard of HejdianCs
Account ill some minntea I made about ffoitr town iit ' The Beauties of
England and Wales' in 1310. Richard's account is very citrious, niid
deserees a very correct copj/. Mr. Bird long since promised to giue ine
a transiatio/i of John and Jii^har(ta accounts. Jiichar^e histon/ of the
church of IIciguBtald, cap. 3 and 4, are the parts most interesting tot/ou :
perhaps nil that can be found respecting the cathedral church in the
Sason times are those of Richard.

" / copied muni/ gears since in the British Muscunt an ancient manu-
script tnlitledy *■ Miractda Sanctorum Patrnni qui in Ecclesia Ilagus'
taldensi reqimsctint.' It is in thirteen chapters, some very short, all in
the original contracted Latin. The late Mr. Iledly had my copy and
written to it. If I am itnt mistal-en they arc to he found translated in,
Cressefa History qf the Briltnh Church. The remaining part of the
mamiseript which I copied were extracts of Sede's account of himself,
writings, etc. Of the Priory church the most curious acroimt thtl I have
respecting it and its monies wax given to me hy Jasper Gibson, Esq., of
Htxkam,frorn. u Stamped ujjice copy, and is entitled ' The misdemeanours

C THE PREFACE. PAKT II.

28 Sep., 38 Hen. VIII.' It is a capital paper, and sliotdd you be not
lack of room for printing it, would anstver t/oti capitally icell ; youwill
fnd that the brave sub-prior had brave monks to assist him, and some of
the parts are very grotesque, as the comvtissioners 'found the gates and
doors fast,' etc. And now that my letter is got into war and arms, it is
time for a broken-headed man to get out of the sound he hears; ami to
assure the Committee and yourself how unable I tan to be of any use to
their very interesting undertaking.

" lam, dear Sir,

" Yours very truly,

" John Hodobon."

The Editor cannot conclude without expressing to the
members of the Society his grati^cation at the kind reception
■which the first volume of this work has met with at their hands.
He can only wish that the second had been issued to them
long ago, as he hoped and expected it would j but all who
are conversant with literary work and literary societies are well
aware that punctuality, however desirable, cannot always be
attained.
